As you may have noticed, we no longer allow comments on the site. I’m grateful to have been able to engage with you all here, and if you have questions or comments, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me on Twitter (@ifthechufits), BlueSky (scottchu.pitcherlist.com), or Reddit (u/ChusephEsquire).
- As a reminder, these rankings are geared toward a standard, daily, 12-team H2H redraft league, as that is typically the most popular fantasy baseball format. They will only factor in the five standard categories: Runs, RBI, Home Runs, Batting Average, and Stolen Bases.
- I would recommend not paying super close attention to the specific ranks of each player, and honing in more on the respective tiers that they’re in. Each tier represents a grouping of players that I think could arguably perform at a similar level, and/or carry similar levels of risk in terms of injury concerns or playing time obstacles. If Player X is ranked at No. 55 and Player Y is ranked at No. 65, but they’re in the same tier, it means that I personally prefer Player X, but think there’s a valid argument to be made for Player Y performing just as well.
- I take rankings like this as more of an art than a science. Every person’s rankings are influenced by their own biases, strategic philosophies, determinations of risk, and projections. It’s why no two rankings are ever exactly alike. My way of evaluating and ranking players has worked out well for me over the years, but it might not be a great fit for you. I can’t possibly predict your team’s specific needs, your league mates’ player evaluations, or your current waiver wire, and if I could, it’d be weird. In a bad way.
- This is a safe space for me where I answer to no one but myself…and you if you hit me up on Twitter (@ifthechufits), BlueSky (scottchu.pitcherlist.com), or Reddit (u/ChusephEsquire).
- I’m doing my best to use five starts or 10 appearances as the threshold for positional eligibility. I have not included presumed eligibilities based on likely new positions, but once those eligibilities are earned, I’ll add them in. This is just a maintenance thing, and we will update eligibility throughout the season. Feel free to let me know if I’m missing any!
Ranking Philosophy
To keep things in the same ilk, here are a couple of notes on how I generally evaluate hitters before we dive in:
- In 12-team formats, I just don’t see much value in guys who only provide stolen bases. It’s an important category, especially in Roto, but in shallower formats, there are too many other (and better) ways to get the steals you need without sacrificing production in the other categories.
- If I want to get some insight on whether what I’m seeing is new or if it’s just normal fluctuation, I’d use my favorite tool—the rolling chart, which I’ll also reference as appropriate. You can also get rolling charts from sources like FanGraphs or Baseball Savant. If you have any questions about how to do that or how to read these charts, reach out to me!
- No stat is an island, and they should all be taken in proper context. For ranking purposes, the primary starting points I use are plate discipline, wRC+, quality of contact metrics (also known as Statcast batted ball data), lineup context, and the skills we can measure using tools such as our PLV Hitter Attributes (available for PL Pro members). I also use various projections (some free, some I buy) and dollar value generators.
- Positional eligibility, and specifically multi-eligibility, is neat, but also isn’t a huge factor in many 10- and 12-team leagues anymore due to the prevalence of multi-eligible players. It’s of more value in deeper contests like the NFBC, or in leagues with limited roster moves (draft and hold leagues, transaction limits/costs, extremely short benches, etc.), but even then, the value is fairly situational and context-dependent.
- On a similar note, I don’t penalize players for only qualifying in the utility slot. At most, it is a mild inconvenience if a DH-only player is available at a great value and you already have filled your utility spots.
- Anyone talented enough to make it to the big leagues can be brilliant or putrid for 50 to 100 at-bats, regardless of true talent. Heck, it could even last over a month with no change in potential or skill. It also could be wildly meaningful. We can’t and don’t know which of these will be true until it’s over, though track record, scouting, and trends can give us hints.
- If you’d like input on a player or have any feedback, your best bet is to reach out to me on the website formerly known as Twitter (@ifthechufits) or BlueSky (scottchu.pitcherlist.com), or Reddit (u/ChusephEsquire).

- These rankings talk about what I generally project for a player, but these rankings are not projections. They include projections but also take into account performance risk, injury risk, team context, ceiling, and floor.

I also host an AMA in the r/fantasybaseball subreddit every Friday starting around noon ET that lasts through the rest of the day and into the weekend, so feel free to join the fun and ask questions or make comments.
Tier 1
- No changes here. These are the top two hitters in the game and they are incredible.
Tier 2
- Welcome back, Corbin Carroll! I’m not worried if he’s a little slow out of the gate as he’ll get the Break to get healthier/less rusty.
- If this tier wasn’t so ridiculously good, you’d have seen Bobby Witt Jr. slide up. He’s certainly looking more like the guy we expected of late.
Tier 3
- Kyle Schwarber is on pace to set new career highs in runs, home runs, and RBI with his highest 120+ game batting average and OBP. Granted, he’s not out-pacing his prior marks by much (just a single RBI and home run, for example), but Schwarber continues to be a more consistent and productive version of himself than we saw in some years past.
- Ronald Acuña Jr. has slowed down considerably of late, and also hasn’t stolen a base in his last 11 games. Perhaps this lower back tightness he is experiencing is the culprit, and if it is, I hope it improves over the Break.
- Fernando Tatis Jr. isn’t hitting home runs but the rest of the numbers are coming along just fine so he stays ranked up here as I assume that power will come on strong at some point.
Tier 4
- Riley Greene’s strikeouts are trending up and are over 50% across his last eight games, but I still believe he can make the appropriate adjustments and get it back under control while still hitting home runs in bunches.
- Jackson Chourio started a little slow but continues to make strides in-season.
- Manny Machado was slumping there for a bit, but seems to be turning it back around of late.
Tier 5
- Bryce Harper has admitted his wrist isn’t 100%, so it’s hard to tell if these poor results following his return are evidence of that or if it’s just normal rust. I’m concerned about it for sure.
- Matt Olson is the only guy in Atlanta who is hitting right now. Sure, the strikeouts are up and the walks are down, but he’s hitting for average and power at least.
Tier 6
- Junior Caminero’s ground ball rate hasn’t spiked to ridiculous levels, which is good, but the jump in strikeouts and the lack of walks aren’t what we want. Hopefully this proves to be just a mild, normal slump that can be corrected fairly quickly. I’d be more concerned if the ground ball rate was high, as Caminero has shown he can quickly get his plate discipline under control but the grounders have generally been more persistent when they are an issue.
- Gunnar Henderson is hitting for plenty of power lately, but the lack of walks is a bit of a concern if he wants to get back to the level he was last season.
- Freddie Freeman has been a little banged up and has not been strong this summer but with any luck the Break is exactly what he needs to turn it back around.
- Oneil Cruz is always going to be streaky due to his strikeout issues but as you’ll likely see in the Derby, his power is unbelievable and I’ll chase his combination of tools any time.
Tier 7
- Julio Rodriguez has been a top-60 hitter this season, believe it or not, and I rank him higher than that but I still think the elite upside could show itself in the second half (as it usually has in the past).
- Isaac Paredes has moved into the leadoff role, and I love it. I might have him a tier higher in points leagues. Folks playing any format can appreciate his production this summer, though, as he has eight home runs in his last 30 games with a 12.8% walk rate, an 18% strikeout rate, and a .261/.376/.523 line. The counting stats are lagging a bit, but as Cam Smith and Jose Altuve heat up, that should get better.
- I still believe in Jackson Merrill as a good hitter, but am starting to worry about how long its taking for him to find any power.
Tier 8
- I want to be a little more aggressive with Michael Busch, though we’ve seen him have this kind of success in short spurts in the past, only for him to hit some slumps right after (heck, we even saw it this season in April and May).
- Jose Altuve has been one of the best hitters in baseball of late, and like his teammate Isaac Paredes, a lot of his success is from pulling a bunch of fly balls right down the foul line. Altuve has durability issues and has struggled with consistency, but Altuve’s bat control is more than good enough to evolve into this type of hitter and move up this list in a hurry if he stays healthy.
- Mike Trout and Mookie Betts are both having disappointing campaigns, and as the rankings suggest, I think I might be a bigger believer in Mike Trout the rest of the way than Mookie. Why? Because Trout is hitting the ball as hard as ever and just isn’t pulling it like he has in the past. Mookie, on the other hand, seems to have lost most of his home run power and, at his current pace, will only just barely make it to 20 home runs.
Tier 9
- George Springer keeps hitting.
- There you go, Spencer Torkelson! As I’ve said in many prior updates, as long as Tork is one of the league’s best decision-makers, I’ll keep the faith and wait for these surges.
- Nick Kurtz is still striking out way too much, but at least he’s also walking along with it. That’s a possible first step to taking a leap.
- Wyatt Langford was supposed to be ranked here when he returned from the IL but was mistakenly omitted.
- Lawrence Butler is performing well of late, but once again it seems to be driven by some good fortune with fly balls and some extra line drives that I don’t expect to stick around.
- Steven Kwan is in a funk, hitting .262/.321/.369 over his last 50 games with just two home runs and six steals. Kwan just isn’t going to show consistent power for long enough to ever clear 15 home runs, most likely, and thanks to his insane April, his overall batting average is still .292. While his amazing hit tool keeps his season-long floor high, it’s worth remembering that guys who put this many balls in play are somewhat reliant on the BABIP Gods to make things happen, and they can be fickle.
Tier 10
- Since June 1 (33 games), Salvador Perez is hitting .271 and slugging .504 with 7 home runs and 26 RBI, which is more or less what we expect Sal to do. If he hasn’t already been scooped up in leagues where he was dropped, go ahead and do that now.
- Agustín Ramírez isn’t going to give us a good OBP for any extended period of time, but the average is more than playable (especially at catcher) and with six home runs and 39 combined runs and RBI over his last 24 games, there’s plenty to be excited about.
- It’s not flashy, but Nico Hoerner rarely has bad weeks, and even when he does, they aren’t THAT bad. For anyone in weekly head-to-head formats, that’s something easy to appreciate.
- Marcus Semien has slowed down again, with just two home runs and a .231/.320/.369 line over his last 75 plate appearances (16 games), but he recovered from his last slump fairly quickly, and his counting stats have been quite good so hopefully it’s just a mild bump in the road.
Tier 11
- Maikel Garcia has turned back into more of a light-hitting speedster, with just four extra-base hits (all doubles) in his last 17 games to go with three home runs and a .246 batting average. The batting average should rebound in time, as some of the issues may just be that he’s been swinging a bit too much outside of the zone and actually connecting with it, which leads to bad balls in play.
- Ceddanne Rafaela has always shown flashes of great talent, though his contact issues and inconsistency have been a constant thorn in his side. He’s made a significant jump in his contact ability, though, especially in the zone, all while hitting the ball MUCH harder than in seasons past. It’s a lot to ask for just one of these changes to stick, let alone two, but he’s held these numbers for long enough that there’s likely something real about them.
- Jackson Holliday, per our PLV metrics, faced the toughest pitching among players with at least 400 pitches seen in June, and he held his own rather well. I think July will be his best month yet.
- Trevor Story’s Cinderella story continues, this time with an improved strikeout rate. As long as he keeps that rolling strikeout rate below 30%, or better yet, 25% as he almost never walks, he can be a strong middle infielder (though obviously his current pace is ridiculous).
- Willy Adames is slashing .305/.389/.527 since June 7, and if he hadn’t teased us a few times already this season, I’d have bought in harder. Still, this one has strong plate discipline and lots of hard-hit balls, so I think this might be the one.
- Jasson Domínguez has played in seven of the last eight games for the Yankees and has been the leadoff man in three of his last four starts. If he can continue to hit the ball well and win that role, there will be a mountain of runs coming his way.
Tier 12
There is a net change in this tier of +9.
- The strikeouts are creeping back up for Cam Smith and he isn’t taking any walks and the hard hits have slowed down, but I am willing to hold out a little longer as he’s moved up to the two-spot in the order.
- Marcell Ozuna continues to just not produce and it means more falling down this list. He could rebound in a hurry and is easier to hold on to in OBP formats, but yeesh.
- Wilyer Abreu is hitting the ball well, though this string of lefties has seen him hit the pine rather often. Still, the power surge has been impressive and the strikeout rate has stayed down, so maybe this is a new and improved version of Abreu.
- Jordan Beck did not take advantage of that homestand like I hoped, and isn’t the leadoff man anymore.
Tier 13
- Paul Goldschmidt has strung together some multi-hit games and isn’t facing as much pressure from Ben Rice as before, so perhaps his role has been a bit more solidified as an almost everyday player. Hitting third in his last two games is a pleasant surprise as well.
- Jurickson Profar clearly has an everyday role and is hitting in the heart of the order. Let’s see what he does with it.
- Victor Scott II is still stealing bases but the batting average has taken a nosedive, making him just a single-category contributor for well over a month.
- I held out hope for quite a while that Masyn Winn would regain the production we saw earlier in the season, but the quality of contact has stayed fairly lackluster. Some of that success may have been from a line drive surge, as it was in early 2024, and it just isn’t a sustainable way for him to find results.
- Matt McLain had given us a flicker of hope that he’d turned a corner, but I guess not.
- Roman Anthony has elite skills, so I respond to his hot streaks much more strongly than others.
- Zach McKinstry keeps getting a lot of opportunities to hit near the top and middle of the order. Sure, he is also the beneficiary of a line drive rate spike that likely won’t entirely stay (he’s always hit plenty of line drives, just not 30%+ as he is now), but this offense continues to impres,s and he’s right in the middle of the action.
Tier 14
- Bryan Reynolds has not turned the corner yet, and in three outfielder format,s you might have a better option on the wire. I may regret this at some point, but frankly, that’s how I’ve felt about holding him in the top 100, too.
- Perhaps Gavin Sheets was just a hot-hitting lefty slugger after all.
- If Tommy Edman wasn’t eligible at second base, he’d be off this list entirely.
- Tyler Freeman has contact and speed, though I wonder how much he can make use of that on this offense, especially away from Coors.
- Josh Smith is still just in a platoon, though he leads off and brings a ton of eligibility to the table.
- Christian Walker’s departure from the ranks was short lived, though I’m not sure he’s that close to breaking the top-100.
- The other Max Muncy has long-term hit tool issues, but his zone contact has improved considerably of late and it might be a good time to grab a flyer if he’s available.
- Colt Keith is probably just on a heater as he was earlier this year, but he is leading off and is eligible at second base, so why not?
Taxi Squad
Players are listed in no particular order. This list is not every interesting guy out there, but a running list of players who either almost made the list or have been topics of interesting conversation.
NEW FEATURE: I will put blurbs in bold if they are new to the Taxi Squad or if there’s a significant update to their note.
Catcher
- Carlos Narváez (C, BOS) — Streaming catcher with a little bit of upside.
- Ryan Jeffers (C, MIN) — Hitting first or second lately, but sitting more.
- Sean Murphy (C, ATL) — Four home runs in his last eight games (26 PA) but also 10 strikeouts and no walks. Feels like just a heater.
- Dalton Rushing (C, LAD) — Dynasty only.
- Carson Kelly (C, CHC) — Heating up a little but just a streamer.
- Drake Baldwin (C, ATL) — Pure timeshare makes him only viable in two-catcher leagues.
- Tyler Stephenson (C, CIN) — The strikeouts make him feel more like a streamer than a fantasy lineup regular in single-catcher leagues.
- Ben Rice (C/1B, NYY) — There’s a ton of power here, but he’s struggling to pull the ball and is popping out too often to keep Stanton from stealing his time.
- Dillon Dingler (C, DET) — He was previously #150 but got knocked out due to an unintentional omission of Wyatt Langford.
First Base
- Carlos Santana (1B, CLE) — OBP streamer who somehow still has something in the tank. What a career.
- Kyle Manzardo (1B, CLE) — Has lost most of the playing time against lefties.
- Michael Toglia (1B, COL) — Can’t be used on the road, but fine to stream at home.
- Jac Caglianone (1B, KCR) — Strikeouts have improved, now needs to get the ball in the air (which is often a more difficult adjustment).
- Spencer Horwitz (1B/2B, PIT) — Went cold as soon as he moved to the leadoff spot.
- Ernie Clement (1B/2B/3B/SS, TOR) — Versatile and viable in points leagues, but the power, speed, and counting stats are just too light in category formats.
- Miguel Vargas (1B/3B/OF, CWS) — Has stayed cooled off for quite some time now.
- Ryan O’Hearn (1B/OF, BAL) — I’m sure he’ll heat up again at some point, but until then, he’s just a speculative stream against bad right-handed pitching.
- Romy González (1B/2B, BOS) — He’s been mashing lefties and sitting against many righties. The Red Sox have faced a ton of lefties lately, but won’t see another until after the Break. Let’s see if he starts more than twice from now until then.
Second Base
- Hyeseong Kim (2B, LAD) — It will be very exciting when he has anything close to a regular role.
- Jorge Polanco (2B/3B, SEA) — Streamer with a little pop.
- Jonathan India (2B/3B/OF, KCR) — Deep points league only.
- Gavin Lux (2B/OF, CIN) — Points league streamer.
- José Caballero (2B/3B/SS/OF, TBR) —May sit a lot more with Kim’s return.
- Ronny Mauricio (2B/3B, NYM) — Likely loses some time with Vientos’s return.
- Brett Baty (2B/3B, NYM) — Vientos’s return comes at a terrible time as Baty continues to slump.
- Kristian Campbell (2B, BOS) — Still a promising player in dynasty, but no need to torture yourself in redraft.
- Ozzie Albies (2B, ATL) — Just two home runs since the start of May and a 67 wRC+.
- Davis Schneider (2B/OF, TOR) — He’ll get more playing time with Gimenez injured, but he’s just a streaky power-hitting lefty with contact issues.
- Zack Gelof (2B, OAK) — Until he shows any ability to make contact with any kind of consistency, I’m out.
Third Base
- Joey Ortiz (3B/SS, MIL) — That little power outburst was fun but he can go back to the wire now.
- Connor Norby (3B, MIA) — Zone contact rate has improved dramatically this season. If he keeps it up there without sacrificing too much power, he may be more than a streamer.
- Abraham Toro (1B/3B, BOS) — Might have been ranked if this was for points with a strikeout penalty.
- Marcelo Mayer (3B/SS, BOS) — Nothing is clicking right now. Per our Hitter Ability metrics, Mayer is one of, if not the worst in-zone decision-maker in the league, and of late is one of the worst decision-makers overall despite an improvement when it comes to pitches out of the zone.
- Mark Vientos (3B, NYM) — Benched.
- Royce Lewis (3B, MIN) — A speculative play with high upside, though we haven’t actually seen him show any of it in quite some time.
- Nolan Gorman (3B, STL) — Zone contact rate spiked for a bit but has fallen back below 80%. Until he’s consistently above that mark, he’s nothing more than an extremely streaky power streamer.
- Ke’Bryan Hayes (3B, PIT) — Lack of power makes him more of a deep points streamer, but he’s also in several rumors to go to the Yankees (which still would be irrelevant in 12-teamers but at least it’s interesting).
- Yoán Moncada (3B, LAA) — Looked fine before the injury, but no thanks.
- Matt Shaw (3B, CHC) — He could be a decent source of stolen bases who hits double-digit home runs, but he just can’t find consistent production right now.
- Noelvi Marte (3B, CIN) — I need to see results before buying in. He’s looked too awful at times to trust.
Shortstop
- Brooks Lee (2B/3B/SS, MIN) — Not enough production to consider as more than a streamer despite being eligible everywhere.
- Javier Báez (2B/3B/SS/OF, DET) — He ain’t dead yet! The production comes in waves, so don’t feel the need to hold on long term in shallower formats.
- Ha-Seong Kim (2B/3B/SS, TBR) — I don’t love that he already had some games off due to injury, and I don’t think he’ll hit the ball hard enough or play enough to be anything more than a speed flier.
- Casey Schmitt (1B/2B/3B/SS, SFG) — He was hot before the injury, though it appears mostly driven by a fortuitous number of line drives. The power is legit, but the ratios will likely take a deep dive.
- Carlos Correa (SS, MIN) — Everything remains down, and I’m not seeing the signs I need to keep holding out.
Outfield/DH
- Isaac Collins (OF, MIL) — Platooned.
- Jesus Sanchez (OF, MIA) — Power streamer with a tough home park and poor supporting cast.
- Emmanuel Rodriguez (OF, MIN) — Strikes out way too much because he’s far too passive, but if he cleans that up, watch out.
- Mike Yastrzemski (OF, SFG) — Platooned.
- Denzel Clarke (OF, ATH) — Speed streamer.
- Cedric Mullins (OF, BAL) — Still playing almost every day, viable streamer with speed.
- Brenton Doyle (OF, COL) — Part-timer now.
- Parker Meadows (OF, DET) — Lost playing time and hits at the bottom of the order. Droppable.
- Michael Harris II (OF, ATL) — There was a bit of a flash of production, but it continues to vanish as quickly as it appears.
- Masataka Yoshida (DH, BOS) — In theory, Yoshida has a solid floor in points leagues if he plays, and he has hit .280 or better in his two seasons on this side of the Pacific. That said, the upside is limited even as a full-time player, which I don’t expect him to be.
- James Outman (OF, LAD) — Getting a chance to play some center due to the strong triple-A numbers, but that 30.3% strikeout rate down there will look decidedly worse in the majors.
- Jesse Winker (OF, NYM) — He’ll likely sit against lefties but is capable of getting hot and hitting for some average with a bit of pop and plenty of walks.
- Austin Hays (OF, CIN) — The strikeouts are piling up, and he is hitting .175/.195/.450 since his return from the IL. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again, that Hays is an aggressive, streaky hitter who can’t always be rostered through these cold spells, which historically have lasted for quite some time.
- Wenceel Pérez (OF, DET) — I was worried it was merely a hot streak, and that may just be the case.
- Tyler O’Neill (OF, BAL) — When he’s hot, he’s scorching. When he’s cold, he’s roster poison. In between those times, he’s hurt. Roll the dice at your own risk.
- Ramón Laureano (OF, BAL) — That was a fun little ride while it lasted, but I expect him to lose time with O’Neill’s return, plus I suspect it was just random heat to begin with.
- Tommy Pham (OF, PIT) — I thought for sure he was going to get released. This seems like a random stretch that I wouldn’t chase in mixed leagues.
- Jake McCarthy (OF, ARI) — Playing time will be harder to come by with Carroll back, but he can steal bases.
- Dane Myers (OF, MIA) — I don’t think there’s more than 12-15 home runs as a full-time player, but they’ve got him running a bunch.
- Jorge Soler (OF, LAA) — No thank you.
- Jake Mangum (OF, TBR) — Points league extraordinaire.
- Mike Tauchman (OF, CWS) — Leads off and slaps the ball around from time to time, but won’t play against most lefties.
- Angel Martínez (OF, CLE) — Points league streamer.
- Luis Robert Jr. (OF, CWS) — Tons of ability locked in an injury- and slump-prone vessel. I will re-rank him if he leaves the White Sox.
On the IL
Players are listed by position and not by projected value.
- Adley Rutschman (C, BAL) — Should be back right after the Break.
- Iván Herrera (C, STL) — Should be back right after the Break.
- Keibert Ruiz (C, WSN) — Not a hold unless your IL is wide open.
- Gabriel Moreno (C, ARZ) — Borderline hold in 12-teamers if your IL is full. Catcher is deep enough that you can probably stream.
- Miguel Amaya (C, CHC) — Cubs say he’s still a long ways off.
- Gary Sánchez (C, BAL) — Not a guy I’m holding if my IL is already full. He was just a streamer.
- Ryan Mountcastle (1B, BAL) — Expected back once eligible on July 30.
- Rhys Hoskins (1B, MIL) — He should be back by September, but one month of unsteady production isn’t worth holding in mixed leagues.
- Pavin Smith (1B/OF, ARI) — Not a player I’m holding.
- Andrés Giménez (2B, TOR) — Not a player I’m holding.
- Jeremy Peña (SS, HOU) — Will definitely be back right after the Break, possibly right before.
- Alex Bregman (3B, BOS) — Sounds like he’ll be back soon, though I’m not counting on him until after the Break.
- Ezequiel Tovar (SS, COL) — On a rehab. Should return after the break.
- Victor Robles (OF, SEA) — Out until September, but keep an eye out just in case, as Robles is capable of dizzying highs when he’s grooving.
- Yordan Alvarez (OF, HOU) — Dealing with inflammation, apparently. I’m hoping we get a timeline over the break after seeing how he reacts to recent treatment by a specialist. Do not drop him.
- Dylan Crews (OF, WAS) — Hoping he’s back after the Break.
- Daulton Varsho (OF, TOR) — Should be back a little after the Break.
- Jordan Walker (OF, STL) — Should be back right after the Break, but not a guy I’m excited about.
- Anthony Santander (OF, TOR) — He’ll be back sometime in August.
- Kerry Carpenter (OF, DET) — Just as he started to heat up, he hit the IL with a hammy issue.
- Lane Thomas (OF, CLE) — Not a guy I’m holding.
