- Fantasy baseball: Which hitters are MVPs, LVPs of 2026?
Eric Karabell looks back on the fantasy baseball season and hands out his MVPs and LVPs for hitters.

McGonigle went 2-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 4-2 loss to the Pirates.
McGonigle finished his stellar rookie campaign with a bang, launching a solo homer in his final at-bat of the year. The 22-year-old concludes the season slashing .278/.376/.430 with 18 home runs, 72 RBI, 97 runs scored and 12 steals across 707 plate appearances and is all but a lock to win the American League Rookie of the Year Award.

McGonigle went 3-for-5 with a double in Wednesday's 4-2 loss to the Nationals.
The Tigers only managed eight hits in total, helping to explain why McGonigle wasn't able to cross the plate despite another strong effort from the leadoff spot. The 22-year-old appears to have the AL Rookie of the Year Award sewn up, but he isn't coasting to the finish line -- through 20 games in September, McGonigle has produced a .305/.396/.512 slash line with nine extra-base hits including three homers, plus 11 runs, 12 RBI and a 13:14 BB:K. He's the first Detroit rookie to collect 50 extra-base hits in a season since Steve Kemp in 1977.

McGonigle is absent from the lineup for Monday's game against the Nationals.
McGonigle will receive a rare day of rest after starting each of the previous 14 contests for the Tigers. Detroit will slot in Hao-Yu Lee at third base and John Peck at shortstop in Monday's series opener.

McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a triple and four RBI in Friday's 11-8 win over the White Sox.
McGonigle drove in a run on a single in the third inning before lacing a bases-clearing triple in the fifth. The 22-year-old has now tallied two hits in five of his past seven games, driving in seven runs and scoring five times in that span. He's slashing .277/.378/.428 with 17 homers, 69 RBI, 95 runs scored and 12 steals across 674 plate appearances and is the favorite to win American League Rookie of the Year as the season nears its end.

McGonigle went 2-for-5 with a walk and a solo home run in Saturday's 11-7 win over the Rockies.
McGonigle is batting only .244 across 10 contests this month, though he's gone deep three times in his last five games. Overall, the rookie infielder is batting .272 with 17 home runs, and the fact that his power is beginning to emerge at the MLB level is a promising sign going forward. McGonigle profiles as someone who can maintain a strong batting average throughout his career, and it's starting to look like he could be a perennial threat to tally 20 homers as well.
