Top 100 Hitters: Catching Fire

August 11, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 5 Comments

by:

We’re hitting our stride coming into the home stretch, like Cole Hocker trying to win the 1500-meter race. Putting the pressure on the rest of the field, Bobby Witt Jr. is doing his best to make the American League MVP race respectable. Hitting a cool .430 with seven homers and a combined 47 runs and RBIs over the last 30 days, he has us questioning everything about who should be the number one hitter for the rest of the season. As Witt shakes up the top of the order for our list this week, Jackson Holliday is also making up for lost time in Baltimore.  Holliday burst onto the scene launching homers in three straight games to announce his arrival. How far up does the youngster climb the rest of the season? Stay tuned to find out in this weekend’s edition of the Top 100 Hitters for the 2024 fantasy baseball season.

The MLB trade deadline is always an exciting time for fantasy baseball managers. Each year, the flurry of trades can significantly alter the landscape of player values. As teams bolster their rosters for a playoff push or begin to rebuild for the future, player roles shift dramatically. Some players find themselves with increased playing time or in more potent lineups, leading to a surge in their fantasy value. Meanwhile, others may see their opportunities diminish. Navigating these real-world moves can be the key to getting ahead in your league during the closing months of the season. This week, our Hitter Profiles dig into a quick-hitter version of buy and sell for many of the key players moved at the deadline.

The weather has certainly turned as June is in full swing across the major league landscape. With All-Star voting open, fantasy managers and real world teams may have to take drastic action with many former stars. Luckily for fantasy owners, we do not have to swallow millions on the payroll when cutting a player such as Jose Abreu. That said, hard decisions still need to be made. In this week’s rendition of the Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season, we see first rounders dropping and breakouts rising. Reality has sunk in for our game and if you are too scared to make the hard moves, somebody else will. Dig in and debate, we are back with another set of our hitter rankings!

Hitter Profiles: Untapped Power Potential

June 9, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 3 Comments

by:

Everybody digs the long ball. This week we are digging deep and looking for hitters that have left some power on the table in the first few months of the season. These are the players who, with one mighty swing, can change the course of a game. Between a myriad of statistics such as xHR, HR/FB%, Hard Hit rate, Barrels and more we are searching for those players that still have more in the tank for 2024. Any rookie can tell you that Aaron Judge has power, but did you know that Marcel Ozuna has been in the top 2% of the league in power metrics and also has the slowest home run trot in the majors. That is incredibly useless information, but now you have it and will not forget. That is the depths to which we are about to go. Without further ado let’s dive in to some powerful hitter profiles.

Ronald Acuña Jr.’s recent injury has been a significant disappointment for fantasy owners, raising concerns about his long-term placement as one of the top hitters in the game. As one of the most dynamic players in baseball, Acuña’s potential to contribute across all five major fantasy categories makes his health paramount, but those knees are necessary and he is playing with fire going towards a Bryce Harper type career. This season, managing injuries and player performance has seemed more crucial than ever. This week, we explore a few hitters shifting in our rankings due to lingering injuries as we explore the top 100 hitters who can make or break your fantasy team’s success for the rest of 2024.

In the world of fantasy baseball, one of the most exciting and challenging aspects is managing young players. There is incredible opportunity as players are discounted due to the potential variability they bring to our game. Whether it is a lack of track record at the major league level or the uncertainty of playing time, the market is simply not efficient with these youngsters. For many managers, the potential to find an upstart rookie is just too much to pass up. These up-and-coming players can make or break a fantasy season. Let’s delve into a few young players that are trying to establish themselves as mainstays in our fantasy lineup in this week’s version of Hitter Profiles.

Top 100 Hitters: Swing Harder

May 19, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 16 Comments

Welcome back to the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season. I once had a baseball coach who told me you’re talented but you need to change one thing. He simply said I need to swing the bat harder.  The fact that I’m writing rather than playing right now indicates the results may not have been favorable.  However, Baseball Savant recently released their swing speed metrics and have given us a new dimension to evaluate.  Did you know that Giancarlo Stanton swings the bat hard while Arraez barely swings at all?  Of course you did because you’re a savvy fantasy baseball player.  However, did you also know that Jo Adell has been swinging a harder bats than Juan Soto?  Or how about that Mookie Betts and Adley Rutschman sit in the bottom 20% of hard swingers?  While still trying to figure out what this all means, it doesn’t give us more to dig into in this week’s rendition of the Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season.
