Fantasy Impact:
Soderstrom, who just turned 24, was the A’s first-round pick in the 2020 MLB Draft. He enjoyed a breakout season last year, batting .276 with 25 home runs and 93 RBI while posting an .820 OPS. Soderstrom also ranked eighth in the AL with 34 doubles while also placing second in the league with 11 outfield assists. Soderstrom will slot into the middle of the Athletics’ batting order in 2026 and certainly has 30-home run, 100-RBI potential in a strong lineup.
