2026 Fantasy Outlook

Sands had a breakout season as a reliever in 2024, but he took a step back last season with just a 21.4 percent strikeout rate, down from 29.1 percent. He has a five-pitch arsenal and decent velocity (94.8 mph average fastball), but has lacked consistency with his off-speed pitches. He'll be in the setup mix for the Twins again this season and could get significant save chances if he can return to his 2025 strikeout rate. Read Past Outlooks
