Fantasy owners have been betting on Fernando Tatis Jr. as a cheap, high‑upside pick, but after a third of the season his power has vanished. He’s on pace for a .255 average, 48 RBIs and zero homers, with a launch‑angle collapse and OPS against right‑handed pitchers dropping from .845 to .597. The Padres haven’t adjusted his stance, leaving his value in doubt for now.

Meanwhile, San Francisco’s Casey Schmitt has defied preseason expectations, climbing into the top‑50 fantasy hitters and sitting near the top‑20 over the last month. He’s already matched his previous season’s 12 home runs in just 192 plate appearances, slugging .567 – the fifth‑best mark in baseball. His low walk rate is offset by elite fly‑ball talent and emerging outfield eligibility this season.

The Brewers’ Kyle Harrison offers another surprise, posting a 1.57 ERA and a 0.96 ERA in May’s five starts, with multiple double‑digit strikeout outings. His performance follows Milwaukee’s low‑cost, high‑output pitching model that has produced several fantasy gems. Given his dominance and the club’s defensive strength, Harrison belongs among the top‑20 fantasy starters this year still.
