2026 Fantasy Outlook
All the projection systems absolutely nailed Simpson's 2025 home run total, so kudos on that! Simpson was twice promoted to the big league club and was as fast as advertised, successfully stealing 44 bases in 56 attempts when he managed to get on base. Pitchers had absolutely no fear of challenging him with fastballs, because they knew he could not hit home runs, so pitchers did not care Simpson hit .310 off fastballs or even .326 off breaking pitches. Since he saw so many strikes, he rarely walked, so he had to earn his way on base with either very soft contact to holes in the defense or solid line drives. Simpson's limitations leave him in the nine-hole of the lineup, and his defensive struggles put his playing time at risk. As it were, the Rays just had one of the worst single-season home run totals for outfielders in recent memory, so it is unclear how the likes of Simpson, Jonny Deluca, Jake Mangum, and Kameron Misner all co-exist moving forward. This could be another version of Esteury Ruiz if the defense does not improve. Read Past Outlooks
