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 the MLB lead in intentional walks this season with roughly double the total of any other hitter, reflecting his sustained dominance in on-base percentage and slugging while batting in high-leverage spots for the Astros. Pitchers continue to issue free passes rather than challenge his power, a pattern consistent with his elevated OPS rankings and recent multi-hit games. Nick Kurtz trails in second among Athletics regulars, benefiting from strong early production as a young first baseman, yet remains well behind in cumulative IBB volume. Other contenders like Shohei Ohtani and Juan Soto post solid counts but lack the same frequency of intentional avoidance, leaving the current trader consensus centered on Alvarez's established edge through the final two months.
