End-gamers, 2026

Let's continue our end-game theme by moving on to hitters who could provide significant value to you late in your drafts or for a token bid.

There is a lot of profit to be found in end-game hitting speculations, especially if you target those with emerging or hidden skills.

Keeping in mind that an end-game target in one league might require a heavy investment in another, here we'll present a large cross-section of guys in each league who could generate a lot of profit for you in 2026.

Let's identify potential end-game targets by looking at batters with a 300+ ADP who showed the highest average exit velocity (EV) in 2025 (min 50 PA):
