The weather has turned and our top 100 hitters are sizzling as June kicks off for our fantasy rosters. Looking back to last June, we had standout performances such as Jon Berti’s 18 steal month or Kyle Schwarber getting ready for the Home Run Derby with 12 dingers. This June, we welcome back Jordan Walker to the big leagues and anticipate the debut of Elly De La Cruz, while other players such as Manny Machado find their way back from injury. Going out with a few bold predictions this month myself, I see Giancarlo Stanton coming off the IL swinging to the tune of 13 homers while Ronald Acuna Jr. nabs 12 bags to lead all players. I’m addition we go to London and watch the Cardinals sweep the Series against those Cubs. Without further ado, here are the Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season.

Under the arch in St. Louis, the weather is heating up and so are the bats of two Nolans. Between Nolan Arenado and Nolan Gorman, the Cardinals boast two of the hottest bats in recent weeks. Over the last 14 days, a total of 12 home runs, 19 runs and 33 RBI has turned the disaster of a season for the Cardinals into some form of senseless hope that the NL Central loves to foster. Between a potential future hall of farmer in Arenado and a young 23-year-old bat figuring things out at the major league level, our Top 100 hitters see the law firm of Nolan and Nolan moving on up. Who else is gaining value for the rest of the season? Read on as we dive into the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season.

Top 100 Hitters: Another One Bites The Dust
April 23, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 11 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
Can we please stop breaking things already? I mean, we should have all expected that Giancarlo Stanton was going to get injured at some point. But did we need to see Garrett Mitchell out for the season or Will Smith continue to miss time with a concussion? No, we did not! Add in a banged-up Tim Anderson, Corey Seager and Ramon Laureano and there is more pain than gain for the last week. For next week’s article, maybe we will need to run the correlation coefficient between game time and injury frequency so we can blame Manfred for all this chaos! However, until then we are at that time to publish another edition of the Top 100 Hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season.

April 9, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Featured, Top 100 Hitters | 19 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
We are merely eight games into the 2023 season and have learned a lot about what we can expect this season. For starters, that lack of steals we have seen in past seasons is long gone with the rule changes going forward. This means that players that derive value from speed will have more than ample opportunity to contribute. We are also reminded that injuries are a reality of our game that will drive any fantasy manager crazy as we see players like Jose Altuve and Michael Harris tumble down the rankings. Finally, we are rewarded for our eternal hope in the prospecting of our fantasy teams through players like Jordan Walker and Corbin Carroll. If the first week of the fantasy season has told us anything, it is that we are in for a fun ride and with that a lot of opportunity for the savvy fantasy owner. Time to break down the top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2023 fantasy baseball season.

March 26, 2023 | 2023 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 13 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
Over the past three weeks we have been working through the Top 25 (link), Top 50 (link) and Top 75 (link). This week, we unveil the full list and fix all the mistakes of the past few weeks otherwise known as updating for any injury, job update or breakout during spring training. This season, our Top 100 Hitters will be posted every other week and focus on what remains of the season. That means, that while somebody like Lars Nootbar will inevitably start the season hot, that does not make him a top hitter on our list. Alternatively, guys like Bryce Harper and Trevor Story are going to be creeping up the list as their returns draw near. Without further ado, the final preseason installment has arrived in our Top 100 hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season.

Welcome back to week three of unveiling the top 100 Hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season. Over the past few weeks, we have walked through the top 25 (check it here) and then rounded out the top 50 (another link) bringing us to this week. We are now entering the back half of the top 100 hitters for 2023. This portion is where the rankings start to bunch up and hitter #51 is much closer to hitter #75 than #1 is to #2. Maybe that is stating the obvious but it is key for how we handle this portion of the draft. With this group of hitters, we start to think about need, team makeup, and shortfalls in our categories to ensure we have a well balanced team rather than trying to win a single roto category by lapping the field. We all know the guy that drafts only steals or seven closers, so do not be that person! With the formalities out of the way, let us get on with the rankings.

Last week, we walked through my initial top 25 as we began to count down, or rather count up our top 100 hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season. While the top 25 was a star studded group on which fantasy dreams are born, the next 25 contain breakout potential and a number of reliable veterans. Once we get past this group, the questions start to grow and the debate will certainly spark. Without further ado, let us jump into our continuing view of the top 100 hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season with spots 26 through 50!

This week our top 100 hitters get a shakeup not only from shifting roles and recent performance, but unfortunately, we see a few players tumbling down by their own accord. Whether it was a bad haircut leading to a PED suspension or another off the field run in with the law, it is not the way we want to see a player dropping out of the rankings. That said, Fernando Tatis Jr. and Marcell Ozuna do not seem to care about your fantasy team any more than their own team at this point, so our rankings had to return the favor. Disappointing as it may be for teams relying on their fading stars at the end on the season, it is out with the old and in with the new in this week’s rendition of the top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2022 fantasy baseball season.

August 6, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters |by: Jeremy Brewer
This must be one of the most exciting trade deadlines in history. We had established closers switching teams, gold gloves moving to greener pastures and some young 23 year old demanding one of the biggest prospect hauls we have ever seen. The trade deadline is always an interesting lottery for our fantasy game. For forward looking owners, there is an opportunity to prospect into new values or simply get some dumb luck. Either way, the deadline is certainly a delight for viewers and owners alike. This week our Top 100 Hitters takes a shuffle thanks to the deadline and beginning of the seconds half as we stare down the last two weeks of the 2022 fantasy baseball season.

Here we are running into the second half coming off an incredibly exciting All-Star break. I think I could personally listen to Alek Manoah pitch mic’d up for the next five years and not get bored. As we look at the what may be a last gasp for owners trying to make the playoffs or ride it out in the roto standings, we owe ourselves a reset and the opportunity to move some big names up or down in the rankings. While the Home Run derby was fun, it does not really change our outlook for Julio Rodriguez or Juan Soto. However, the second half will bring us the return of a few key contributors and give others a chance for a much needed reset. Without further ado and random rambling, jump into the rankings and read through below to see the movers and shakers as we jump in with two feet to our Top 100 rankings for the rest of the 2022 fantasy baseball season.

Welcome to July where we are only two weeks away from the All-Star game and fantasy baseball owners are trying to gear up for the second half. This week, our rest of the season rankings take on a little shake up thanks to injury (sorry, Bryce Harper and Salvador Perez) and the continued breakout of young stars like Julio Rodriguez and Bobby Witt Jr. In the coming weeks, we also hope to welcome back a healthy Eloy Jimenez, Fernando Tatis Jr. and maybe even Mitch Haniger. Because we know you have already skipped this short introduction, let us move on to the rankings for the rest of the 2022 fantasy baseball season.

June 4, 2022 | 2022 Fantasy Baseball, Top 100 Hitters | 6 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
The calendar has turned into June, and we are about one third of the way through the 2022 fantasy baseball season. At this point, we know where we need to cut bait and hopefully have found some waiver fodder that will carry us over the warmer months. As the analogy goes, summer can be as hot as a volcano. In our world, the heat of the volcano (yes this is a weird analogy) is a combination of Mookie Betts and Paul Goldschmidt. Owning just one of these two could move you up the standings, while the combination drove in 60 runs with 20 dingers and nearly a .400 average over the past month. That my fair reader is being as hot as a volcano. Now that we have drained a pointless analogy, we jump into this week’s edition of the Top 100 hitters for the rest of the 2022 fantasy baseball season.
