2026 Projections
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Hoerner hasn't embraced a slugging mentality like many MLB players have in recent years, but he still has a place in fantasy lineups. That's largely due to his speed, as Hoerner swiped 29 bases in 2025, and he now has 103 steals over the past three years. The infielder has also been a consistently good contact hitter. He batted .297 last year and is a career .282 hitter. The Cubs don't always put Hoerner atop the order, opting instead to roll with Michael Busch regularly in 2025, at least against righties. However, Hoerner profiles as a traditional leadoff option, and his ability to get on base, tally steals and score plenty of runs makes him an intriguing player from any spot in a strong Chicago lineup. Drafting Hoerner means looking for power elsewhere, but the 28-year-old has plenty of fantasy appeal heading into 2026, and his outlook would get a boost if he manages to bat first most days.
