2026 Ohtani, UT-Only & Outfield Preview, Part 4
About this episode
Eno and DVR continue their 2026 position preview series with UT & UT-only players — digging into early average draft position (ADP) to look for potentially overvalued and undervalued players at the position for the upcoming season. Lucky enough to land the first pick in your draft? Shohei Ohtani remains the logical choice from that spot in nearly all formats. This episode is the fourth part of a four-part series covering the position, and focuses mostly on outfielders being drafted after Pick 300 overall of recent NFBC drafts.
