Rockies selected Kentucky SS Tyler Bell with the No. 10 selection of the 2026 MLB Draft.
Bell was a solid performer in 2025 with a .907 OPS, but really saw his stock soar in 2026 for the Wildcats with a .343/.510/.608 slash while hitting nine homers in 41 games. He’s a shortstop that hits from both sides of the plate, and that’s a literal descriptor with a swing that can provide a solid average with the type of power production you see from hitters who hit 15-20 homers on a consistent basis. He doesn’t have elite speed, but there’s enough there for a similar amount of steals, as well. Bell is more of a high-floor player than one with an immense ceiling, but there’s enough upside here for him to be fantasy relevant when he’s ready to go in a year or two.
