2026 Outfield Preview, Part 2

From Rates & Barrels: A show about Baseball The Athletic

Eno and DVR continue their 2026 position preview series in the outfield — digging into early average draft position (ADP) to look for potentially overvalued and undervalued players at the position for the upcoming season. This episode is the second part of a four-part series covering the position, and focuses mostly on outfielders being drafted between Picks 100-200 overall of recent NFBC drafts.
