2026 Fantasy Outlook
Keaschall began last season as one of Minnesota's top prospects and exploded onto the scene when called up in April by hitting .368 with five stolen bases in his first seven games. He gave the Twins a needed jolt of energy on the basepaths and at the top of the order, but suffered a fractured right forearm after getting hit by a pitch and missed three months. He returned to hit .294 with a .795 OPS, four home runs and nine stolen bases in his next 42 games before missing the final week with a thumb injury. Keaschall has a superb eye at the plate with high walk rates (9.2%) and low strikeout rates (14%). What he lacked in power metrics (just a 27.3% hard-hit rate and below average exit velocity) he made up for in quality of contact with above-average Squared-Up and Sweet-Spot %, per Baseball Savant. He's unlikely to be a power hitter but could add double-digit homers as a result. He does have top-tier speed (85% percentile) and is aggressive on the basepaths which should result in high stolen base totals. His defense could be an issue as he graded poorly at second base which wasn't helped by him coming back from 2024 Tommy John surgery. He could be moved to the outfield this spring. He should be a fixture at the top of the lineup wherever he plays and could be an impact player based on his tantalizing debut, but needs to also show he can stay healthy. Read Past Outlooks
