Our Fantasy Baseball Live Draft Assistant 2.0 Is Now LIVE!

Master Your Draft: The New Live Draft Assistant Is Here

We’ve been working on many projects behind the scenes here at Pitcher List, and we’re excited to share today a major update to our Live Draft Assistant tool, known internally as LDA 2.0.

This is one of many tools we offer exclusively for our PL Pro members and you can get 15% off PL Pro Yearly today with promo code LDAUPDATE26.

Think of it as having a personal scout, an analyst, and a master strategist sitting right next to you as you draft. When you input picks into its draft board, Here is everything new and improved for the 2026 season.

A Fresh Look, A Smarter Brain

The first thing you’ll notice is the completely redesigned visuals. We’ve aligned the UI/UX with our upcoming PL Pro Dashboard Beta (ETA this spring), giving you a sleek, professional interface that stays out of your way while providing the data you need at a glance.

• 2026 PLV Projections: At the heart of the LDA are our proprietary Pitch Level Value (PLV) projections. This isn’t just past performance-based; it’s predictive modeling based on the actual quality of every pitch and swing. Think of it as skills projections merged with results projections.
• AAV (Average Auction Value): For those in auction leagues, we’ve added an AAV translator that converts ADP into a dollar value, helping you spot when the bidding has gone off the rails, or when a bargain is staring you in the face. Multi-year Tout Wars champion Ariel Cohen outlined the importance of this for auction drafts in his PitchCon presentation and I personally cannot draft without them.

Better Player Tags

We made it easier to create player tags to help you prepare for your draft and never miss a sleeper.

 

League Setup: No Manager Left Behind

We know every league is different; some have that one “weird” category, while others have funky point league values. Our intuitive setup now supports almost every configuration imaginable.

• Platform Support: Default settings for Yahoo, ESPN, Fantrax, NFC, Ottoneu, and CBS.
• Flexibility: Whether it’s Auction or Snake, Categories or Points, or even AL/NL-only formats, we’ve got you.
• The “Two Ohtani” Problem: Yes, we even support leagues that split Shohei into two players.
• Deep Customization: With support for 46 scoring categories, if your league tracks it, we project it.

Tactical Tools for the Clock

When the timer is ticking, you don’t have time to dig through tabs. We’ve streamlined the experience to keep you focused.

• Integrated Cheat Sheets: The Cheat Sheet tab now includes The List, the Hitter List, and RP Lists. You can see exactly which players from Nick, Scott, and Rick’s latest rankings are still available in real-time.
• Streamlined Entry: Entering drafted players is now faster than ever, ensuring you never fall behind the live room.

Real-Time Intelligence: The Standings Tab

This is where the magic happens. The Live Standings tab gives you a dynamic look at how your team stacks up against the competition during the draft.

• Projected Finish: See where you’re projected to land in every category.
• Identify Needs: The tool highlights your strengths and weaknesses. If you’re short on stolen bases, the LDA will tell you, and then show you which speed threats are still on the board.
• Snag the Steal: See what your leaguemates need and grab that middle infielder they’re eyeing before they can get to him.
