This market will resolve in favor of the player that finishes the 2026 MLB regular season with the most intentional walks. In the event of a tie, this market will resolve in favor of the player with more walks during the 2026 MLB regular season. If a tie still persists, this market will resolve in favor of the player with a higher on base percentage. If a tie still persists, this market will resolve to 50-50. If the 2026 MLB season concludes early, is shortened, or is truncated for any reason, the outcome shall be determined using available MLB statistics for completed games. If the 2026 MLB regular season is cancelled, postponed after October 15, 2026, 11:59 PM ET, or it is unclear which player had more walks within that timeframe, this market will resolve to “Other”. The resolution source for this market will be official information from MLB; however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Yordan Alvarez holds a commanding lead in 2026 intentional walks, with recent totals around 32 compared to the next closest players in the low teens, reflecting his role as the Astros' premier power threat and one of MLB's highest-OPS hitters. Opposing managers routinely issue IBBs in high-leverage spots with runners on base to neutralize his slugging, a pattern reinforced by his 38 home runs, 96 RBIs, and franchise-record pace that has already surpassed Jeff Bagwell's mark. This consensus pricing captures Alvarez's sustained dominance through late summer, where his plate appearances continue to draw deliberate free passes. A realistic shift would require a significant injury absence for Alvarez or an unprecedented late surge by another qualified hitter, though the current gap makes such outcomes improbable before season's end.
