Top 100 Hitters: The Home Stretch

As the final month of the fantasy baseball season approaches, the chase for glory intensifies. In this week’s Top 100 Hitter rankings for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season, we sift through the best performers to spotlight those whose bats are scorching and those who’ve cooled off at the wrong time. This time of year, rankings are more volatile than ever with players swinging from hero to zero in the blink of an eye. The difference between a hot streak and a slump can make or break your season especially as the playoffs begin. Being on top of your team and the waiver wire could be all it takes to tip the scales in the last dash to the finish. For this last version of the 2024 season, I thank you for visiting, debating and most of all being the best readers around. Let’s all hope these rankings guide you through the frenzy of the closing weeks, where every day could be the difference between triumph and heartbreak.

Top 100 Hitters: Catching Fire

by: Jeremy Brewer

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.

Top 100 Hitters: The Pain Index

June 2, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters, Top 100 Hitters | 26 Comments

by: Jeremy Brewer

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.

Top 100 Hitters: Are These Hitters For Real?

May 5, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 12 Comments

by: Jeremy Brewer

Welcome back to the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season. As injuries ravage and our statistics stabilize, we are starting to see how the chips should fall. The Top 100 are really broken down into the top tier of all-stars, a shrinking middle and guys at the back that are still trying to find their way. For instance, Colton Cowser has been an early darling for fantasy owners, but his 35% strikeout rate is trying to call into question his long-term viability. Those questions put an anchor on too much ascension in our rankings. On the other end of some spectrum, we have a guy that was once a top prospect in Jurickson Profar trying to make a case for relevance in San Diego. Making his best contact in years, Profar is sneaking into our rankings. While we have seen this before, it feels a bit more real this time around. The ebb and flow of our rankings continues this week as we dig through those feisty hitters. Welcome back to the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2024 season.

Top 100 Hitters: We Are Back!

April 21, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Rest of Season Rankings, Top 100 Hitters | 29 Comments

by: Jeremy Brewer

Welcome to the first official version of the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2024 fantasy baseball season. This will be the place to be when you are looking at values for the rest of the season making those all-important moves to deliver a championship. As a reminder for those of you joining for the first time in 2024, we are as consistent as Khris Davis’s batting average by focusing on rotisserie scoring and ignoring everything that has happened in favor of predicting the future. So far this season, our offseason ranks have pulled their oblique just like half of the league. That means players like Ozzie Albies, Trevor Story and Christian Yelich all take drops down due to injury issues early in the season. However, there are veterans and young guns alike ready to jump into their spots as quick as Victor Scott, if he can get on base. With the formalities out of the way, welcome to our first iteration of the Top 100 hitters for the 2024 fantasy baseball season. Dig in!

Top 100 Hitters: The Beginning

March 3, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters, Top 100 Hitters | 12 Comments

by: Jeremy Brewer

Welcome to the countdown of the top 100 hitters for the 2024 fantasy season. This season we will be bringing you the top 100 hitters every other week during the regular season. There is a clear shift taking place in the hitter draft dynamic and the name of that game is speed. While some of the most talented hitters may be guys like Juan Soto or Matt Olson, the need for speed at the top draft has pushed down that pure hitting talent. There should be no question at the top of the draft where the only player in the league that can go 40/70 has to be taken. However, as the rest of the first round unwinds there is a plethora of young talent with what feels like limitless upside. Take a risk on a pitcher or power-only slugger and the sledding will be tough the rest of the draft. Good luck to all fantasy managers during this draft season and without further ado, let the debate begin as we work through the beginning of the top 100 hitters for the 2024 fantasy baseball season.

Top 100 Hitters: MVP Time

September 3, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 6 Comments

by: Jeremy Brewer

At the mid-summer break, Ronald Acuna Jr. And Shohei Ohtani appeared to be runaway favorites for Most Valuable Player awards. However, so much has changed in the last month bringing the National League MVP into question. Over the month of August, Mookie Betts did his best Barry Bonds in April 2004 impression (look it up if you need!). Betts put up a blistering month with a .455 average, 10 homers, a ridiculous combined 75 runs plus RBI and 1.355 OPS. Not only did that month give Mookie a chance in the MVP race where Acuna has produced a never before seen 30/60 season, but it also shakes up the big names of our Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season. We are in the final month of the season and hopefully you are staring down a potential championship trophy while your competitors have moved on to football in despair.
