Last year I learned it’s better to come in 2nd than 1st. I was leading for most of last year but tripped in September and finished in 2nd. At first, I felt defeated, but the longer I sat with my 2nd place finish, the more I realized that 2nd place is first place without being […]

The last couple weeks in this space we’ve taken time to rank guys around the infield and in the outfield. That, plus the title of this piece, probably has you assuming that we’re going to be ranking pitchers today. Well, we aren’t. At least not in the way you’re expecting. But there’s a reason for […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Over the last three weeks, we’ve taken this list apart piece by piece. The foundation came first with the elite bats who carry fantasy lineups and soak up first-round draft capital. Then we moved through the roster builders, the category specialists, and the volatile upside plays that can tilt a standings column when things break right. Now it’s time to put the whole thing together. Today we release the full Top 100 Hitters for the 2026 fantasy baseball season. One list. One board. The entire player pool stacked from top to bottom. Seeing the rankings in full always tells a slightly different story than reading them in weekly tiers. You start to notice where positions thin out, where the power pockets live, and which players sit right on the edge between “target” and “someone else can take that risk.” So with that said, here it is. The complete Top 100 Hitters for 2026, giving us our final board before draft season fully takes over.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Angels SS Zach Neto 39.9
Neto might be paying a price for being on the Angels, and that’s not totally unwarranted given that runs and RBI might be hard to find. Still, he hit 26 homers and stole 26 bases while batting .257 in his age 24 season on a team with little lineup protection. He’s going after a trio of first basemen in Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, and Bryce Harper, and I totally understand that impulse to take the safest bats you can find. I just prefer the five-category contributions of a guy like Neto, who’s going almost ten spots higher than this in the NFBC: 30.37 since March 1 (121 drafts).
Please, blog, may I have some more?Spring Training is in full swing, drafts are underway, and the 2026 fantasy baseball season is almost here. That means it’s time to put some stakes in the ground that will either age like fine wine or haunt me until next season… These are my ten bold predictions for the upcoming season, ranging from bounce-backs, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Early into the offseason Tom Tango brought up the idea of the bayesian strikezone, where the quote “strike zone” exists on three levels; The actual rulebook strike zone, what the umpire calls, and the implied strike zone based on what the batter offers at. The third only exists in theory, since every batter would have […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good day, everyone.
Today’s post is simple – an all-in-one cheat sheet of the 400 players I have ranked. As the weeks have passed, some of the players ranked have been suspended, injured or traded, which obviously either helps or hurts their value. But that just means you can remove them from the rankings yourself or make whatever adjustments you need to make. I’m going to leave them where I ranked them earlier.
Additionally, the little blurbs about each player (or mostly each player) are not going to be found here. For those awesome nuggets of wisdom, you can go to the individual rankings I produced.
With that said, enjoy the entire rankings.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Good day, friends, and what’s the 500/300 Club, you ask? Well, it’s a club I just made up, as we hit mid-March and draft season is busier than ever. In these final weeks of the pre-season, we’ll continue to take a look at recent ADP and see if we can keep finding ways to use […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?What’s poppin’, Razzpimples? We’re into mid-March now, inching ever closer to the start of the 2026 fantasy baseball season. It’s an exciting time of year, what with the World Baseball Classic in full force and March Madness also right around the corner. We’re not far removed from American hockey dominance at the Olympics, and we […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?This Sunday I take part in the Tout Wars draft. Wish me luck! I’m kidding. I don’t need luck. I need someone else to draft my team for me. Oh, I know, the Fantasy Baseball War Room! So, do you not know the Fantasy Baseball War Room? Well, you should. It’s the most important fantasy baseball […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Few things in this simulation are linear – lasers, time, SAT answers, and the display of an EKG machine at death. But time isn’t truly linear due to Daylight Savings, although time is a man-made construct. Aiya. My head hurts. In baseball, from 1990 to 2004, Barry Bonds is likely the closest thing we fantasy […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?The Tout Wars Draft & Hold comes to its dramatic conclusion (part 1 & part 2). Here’s the second half of my draft grouped into buckets. Always More Pitching – Pound pitching every other round when you can. This group leaves me with little depth out of the gate, I’m afraid *gulps in spring training*. […]
