Rainer's dynasty stock was trending steadily up in his first pro season until he dislocated his shoulder in early June. The injury required surgery, but he is expected to be ready for spring training. Rainer got compared to Konnor Griffin a lot entering the 2024 draft, as they were the consensus top two prep shortstops. It's not a comparison anymore, but that's due to Griffin's meteoric rise rather than Rainer's shortcomings. Rainer slashed .288/.383/.448 with five home runs, nine steals, a 13.4 percent walk rate, a 22.1 percent strikeout rate and strong Statcast data (107.9 mph 90th percentile EV, 111.6 mph maxEV, 52.8 HardHit%) in 35 games before his injury. His arm is a big weapon at shortstop, and he projects to be Detroit's long-term answer at that position. Rainer has a little work to do against breaking balls, but he has a chance to be an above-average hitter with plus power and above-average speed. His power may take some time to fully return following the surgery, but he is talented enough to finish 2026 as a top 10 fantasy prospect. Read Past Outlooks
