The 2026 MLB Watchability Index is out, evaluating teams on a 40-point scale across star power, young talent, and "baseball stuff" like stolen bases and pitching depth. The Los Angeles Dodgers secured the top position, driven by an impressive eight players in the top 100, including Shohei Ohtani.
Conversely, the Colorado Rockies were ranked as the least watchable team. Their outlook for 2026 is dim, with an aging starting rotation and a rough start to their home opener, allowing seven runs in the first inning.
The index reflects trends such as the excitement around a strong rookie class and continued star performances, while also noting concerns like potential lockouts threatening future seasons. Teams like the New York Yankees and Philadelphia Phillies also feature prominently with strong rosters and promising young talent.
