2026 Fantasy Outlook

Veen has been an overrated prospect in some public spaces for a while, and while he has a path to playing time in 2026, it shouldn't be assumed that he'll take a job and run with it. Veen, a 6-foot-3 lefty-hitting outfielder, was below replacement level at Triple-A in 2024 (71 wRC+) and again in 2025 (94 wRC+). He hit .118 with a 37.8 percent strikeout rate in 37 MLB plate appearances during his age-23 season. Veen stole 15 bases in 93 minor-league games in 2025 and could eclipse 20 steals in the majors in a best-case scenario. Despite his size and pedigree (No. 9 overall pick in 2020), Veen's hard-hit data isn't encouraging, as he has never had a 110-mph batted ball at Triple-A or the majors. Additionally, he's not a consistent flyball hitter (27.6 FB% at Triple-A in 2025), so while Coors Field could allow Veen's batting average to be tolerable, It would be a surprise if he hit for impact power as a rookie. Veen's 105 games in 2025 marked his first time over 65 games since 2022, so he has a checkered injury history as well. Read Past Outlooks
