Prospects. For fantasy baseball enthusiasts, we are always looking to know about the next wave of prospects, rookies and call-ups. More than most other sports,baseball gives us a fresh influx of rookie talent every single year. Impact prospects are called-up both before and during the MLB season. Knowing about the right prospect, and drafting/adding him at the right time, can be a difference maker and league winner (see Juan Soto, Jack Flaherty,Aaron Judge and Cody Bellinger).During the MLB pres[...]

Its never too early to start looking toward the fantasy baseball season, so Im here to continue RotoBallers position-by-position rankings analysis series for points league and head-to-head (H2H) formats with the incredibly deep outfield position. There is a seemingly neverending stream of useful bats, but there are still clear chokepoints where the risk portfolio thickens. I'd suggest buying at least two anchors and then letting your speculative plays run.Our mixed-league points staff rankings c[...]

My main mantra when it comes to fantasy baseball is "value, value, value." I will often try and set myself up in the first two or three rounds in such a way that I have the flexibility to take advantage of value later in the draft. One of the best ways I have found to identify value is to keep an eye on hitters who play in lesser-hyped offenses. You have plenty of opportunities to get the likes of Aaron Judge and J.D. Martinez, who play in high-powered offenses, early. However, once you reach th[...]

Outfield is a unique position in the fantasy world. The best of the best reside in the outfield, with our consensus top two picks and nine of the top 25 overall players making this list. On the other hand, it is by far the deepest and easiest to gain late-round value if you choose to wait. That's why it's so important to determine exactly who to target at what point in your draft, especially in leagues that require four or five OF slots.[...]

Catcher is a tough position to evaluate, as many teams utilize multiple catchers and it is rare for one to play 140 or more games in a season. [...]

xSLG isnt a stat youll find on the back of a baseball cardor one youd find on a baseball reference page. However, as far as advanced stats go, xSLG is pretty straightforward. It is the expected slugging percentage of a hitter based on hit probability his batted balls in play, regardless of outcome. So if a player has a high xSLG but low SLG, hes probably experienced some bad luck on batted balls. Likewise, if a player has a high SLG but low xSLG hes probably been a little fortunate in the power [...]

New York Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge was the 2017 Rookie of the Year, MVP runner-up, and was a potential first-round pick headed into 2018. He hit .284 with 52 home runs, 114 RBI, and 128 runs scored, gaudy numbers that made him one of the more valuable players in fantasy baseball. Then 2018 happened.In late July, Judge was hit by a Jake Junis fastball, missed most of the remainder of the regular season, and ended with just 67 runs scored and 77 RBI. Judge was down a bit for the season befo[...]
