Hitter Profiles: Time To Let Go?

September 7, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 9 Comments

by:

The nights are getting cooler and so are some of 2025’s breakout bats. We’ve reached the point in the fantasy season where sentimentality has no place in your lineup. A roster spot is earned, not gifted. If a player can’t produce, the next hot hand is waiting to take his place. Even names like Corey Seager or Roman Anthony, who’ve spent too much time on the shelf, are cuttable in single-season formats. The hard part? Deciding whether to let go of players who helped carry you through the summer. This stretch isn’t for the cautious, it’s for the decisive and tactical. In this week’s hitter profiles, we’ll spotlight three slumping bats and ask the brutal question: is it time to finally drop them? No more trades. Only the dreaded cut.

We are entering the home stretch of the 2025 fantasy baseball season. It feels like the right time to evaluate some scorching stretches and see what they mean for long-term value heading into 2026.

Top 100 Hitters: Late Summer Launch Party

August 17, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 6 Comments

by:

Welcome back to the Top 100 hitters, where the dog days of August bring both scorching heat and sizzling opportunity. With less than a quarter of the season remaining, this is the toughest stretch to rank players when an injury or cold streak can crater a hitter’s value in an instant. At the top, the heavyweights still reign. Shohei Ohtani has edged past Aaron Judge, setting the stage for a potential repeat MVP campaign. Ohtani leads the Dodgers with 43 home runs and 117 runs scored, while Judge counters with a .330+ average and 39 homers of his own. But scroll further down the list, and the landscape shifts. New names are surging, veterans are fading, and the rankings are in flux. As the fantasy playoffs loom, let’s dive into the chaos and uncover which bats are rising, falling, or waiting to make some noise.

Hitter Profiles: Minor League Call-ups

August 10, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 9 Comments

The stretch run is the best time in fantasy baseball to find cheap rate-of-return upgrades.  While teams don’t expand rosters like they once did, there is still plenty of opportunity with August 15th being a key date for minor league call-ups. Players called up after this time should retain rookie eligibility going into 2026 and provide an opportunity to gain draft picks for their teams with strong finishes in the Rookie of the Year voting.  While teams might be looking to jump start their hot shot prospects, these same players might just be fantasy gold for the last month-plus. This week, our hitter profiles will dig into a 4-pack of hitters that are likely to get the call in short order. I pulled scouting notes, reviewed draft pedigree, and minor-league production so you can make roster moves with receipts, not guesses.

Hitter Profiles: Selling The Midway Mirage

July 13, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 13 Comments

As the All-Star break arrives and the fantasy season hits its midway point, or was that a few weeks back at 81 games? Regardless, it’s tempting to fall in love with the players that drove first half success. Whether via an unexpected batting average, a flurry of home runs, or an unexpected speed spike it can make any manager feel like they’ve struck gold. But not all that glitter is built to last. Now is the time for sharp managers to take inventory not just of what’s working, but if it has staying power. For every first half hero helping to keep your squad afloat, there might be regression lurking beneath the surface for concern. These are the players that represent an opportunity to deal from a position of strength before the second half winds blow in a different direction. This week our hitter profiles focus on some sell-high candidates where winning managers should be looking to deal from a position of strength.

Hitter Profiles: Buy Or Sell Time

We’ve officially passed the halfway point of the baseball season. Whether you want to count games, celebrate the 4th of July, or use the All-Star Game as your barometer, the midpoint is here. It would be easy to assume that performances so far will be clear predictors of what’s to come but wise managers know better. There’s still plenty of work to do. While the rest of the country is arguing over ketchup vs. mustard, we’re focused on something far more important: figuring out whether that guy hitting .420 over the last two weeks is legit or just riding a heater. In this week’s hitter profiles, we’re diving into some names who are widely available in leagues and have been swinging hot bats lately. It’s time to break down what’s fueling these surges and, with all the overreaction we can muster, decide who’s worth buying and who’s better left on waivers. It’s been a while, but it’s time for another round of Buy or Sell in our hitter profiles.

Top 100 Hitters: Heat Of Summer

June 29, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 15 Comments

As the season heats up, so does the pressure on fantasy managers trying to stay in contention. In the real world, the summer weather feels a lot like playing on the blistering artificial turf of Veterans Stadium back in the ’70s and ’80s, where on-field temperatures could top 150 degrees. Players once described the rubberized turf as “walking on a griddle,” with the stench of melting shoe soles filling the dugouts. You almost have to wonder if that’s what it smells like for the bat boy picking up Cal Raleigh’s bat after yet another towering home run. With that in mind, it’s time to refresh our Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the fantasy season where injuries, hot streaks, and surprises continue to shake up the rankings. Let’s dive in.

Hitter Profiles: Bats Gaining Ground

June 22, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 5 Comments

By the middle of the fantasy baseball season, the easy pickings are gone. The breakout stars are rostered, the hot starts have either flamed out or solidified into season-long assets, and the waiver wire has thinned to a collection of stat lines that look more like roster filler than game-changers. At this point in the year, value doesn’t scream, it whispers. This week in our hitter profiles, we’ll spotlight a few bats that have flown under the radar due to quiet or unremarkable starts to the season—players whose early stat lines kept them off the hype train, but who in recent weeks have started to show real signs of life. Whether it’s a swing adjustment, a lineup promotion, or just better luck on balls in play, these hitters are turning the corner and offering sneaky value for those paying attention. If you’re willing to dig a little deeper, these could be the difference-makers down the stretch.

It’s that time of year when injuries start piling up, and fantasy managers everywhere are looking for a much-needed boost of health in their lineups. Over the past few weeks, we’ve seen players like Bryce Harper, Wilyer Abreu, Matt Chapman, and Shea Langeliers all sidelined by various ailments. While some big names are making their way back, such as Ronald Acuña Jr., Mike Trout, and Jordan Westburg, the hunt for the next breakout bat continues. With the recent call-up of Jac Caglianone and the return of Nick Kurtz, two powerful sluggers are looking to make their mark and should be rostered in all formats. Navigating the ever-changing fantasy landscape can be tough, especially when trying to avoid regrettable roster moves. But this is the time of year to be bold. Cut loose the fading stars and chase the hot hand that could carry you to victory. This week, we return to our Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2025 fantasy baseball season in a special Father’s Day edition. Buckle up and enjoy the ride!
