We’re less than a week away from the first pitch of the MLB season, with the Dodgers and Padres set to kick things off in Tokyo. Spring training battles are wrapping up, lineups are taking shape, and fantasy managers are making their final tweaks before the grind begins. As we continue our journey through the top 100 fantasy hitters, we’ve reached the top 80—a mix of rising stars, steady veterans, and a few question marks that could make or break a season. Some players are surging up draft boards with their spring performances, while others have red flags waving like a third-base coach on a two-out double. With the countdown to real baseball nearly over, let’s dive into the second-to-last segment in our series breaking down the Top 100 Hitters for the 2025 season as we get closer to Opening Day.

Fantasy Baseball Podcast: Grey’s 2025 OF Rankings Pt. 2
March 12, 2025 | All Podcasts, Podcast, Razzball Podcast | 6 Commentsby: B_Don
Grey and B_Don continue covering the outfield rankings with 40 and beyond! There are some that we think could be potential league winners in this group that we really like. Meanwhile, there are some that we’re not even sure why they are ranked as highly as we put them, and sometimes, you just have to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Spring Training has started, which means many fantasy leagues are gearing up for the season to start. Yes, some leagues have already had their drafts, but many haven’t.
As fantasy owners prepare for their upcoming league drafts or auctions or whatever process you use to add players, this week the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025 features the players ranked 50th-26th. We are in the backstretch as next week we conclude the series.
When you look at the position and age breakdowns for this group, it should not be shocking to see 19 of the 25 players are under the age of 29 with five players under the age of 24. And you really shouldn’t be shocked to see so many pitchers. After the first two rounds of a draft, I will hunt for the top pitchers on the board, especially as more and more leagues adjust their categories to make starting pitching more meaningful other than collecting strikeouts or posting a 4.50 ERA yet get credited with a quality start.

Ambulance Chasers: Shaquille Oneil Cruz Is A Slam Dunk in 2025
February 8, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball | 9 Commentsby: RotoSurgeon
We. Are. Back! Round 2 of my Ambulance Chasers takeover is underway as Grey has not halted access to WordPress (yet). Last week’s piece covered injured players I am actively fading this season which you can find here. My thought process is somewhat simple on buying into “bounce-backs” or players on the upward swing post-injury. […]

Hitter Profiles: 2025 Breakouts
January 26, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 8 Commentsby: Jeremy Brewer
Welcome back to another season of fantasy baseball prep—because what else would you be doing in January? The 2025 season is shaping up to be a fascinating year. The kids are officially running the show, with Elly De La Cruz, Gunnar Henderson, and Bobby Witt Jr. staking their claim as first-round mainstays. Meanwhile, the Athletics and Rays are moving to new digs and interim stadiums. How will that affect player values? Only time will tell. As the offseason begins, we’re kicking things off by diving into some of my favorite breakout players for the 2025 fantasy baseball season. For our purposes, a breakout player is defined as someone being drafted outside the top five rounds who has the upside to deliver significantly more value by season’s end. With that loose definition in mind, we’re bound to have some fun. Welcome to the first edition of Hitter Profiles for the 2025 Fantasy Baseball Season!

Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 – Right Fielders & DHs
December 18, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Keepers | 15 Commentsby: Jakkers
Welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. Today is the end of the road for this series as the focus falls on the right fielders as well as the few designated hitters worth talking about.
Before focusing on the right fielders, I want to give a quick rundown of the top 10 designated hitters. A few of the players may be able to get eligibility in the field in 2025, but most will likely remain tethered to the UTL slot in 2025. But thanks to their ability to hit, they are still solid to great players to have on your team.
As for the right field position, it ranks as one of the best positions as far as depth and talent. Lots of sluggers live in right field while there are also a host of players who can provide steals as well as a solid slash line.
But enough chatter. Let’s get on with the rankings, first the top 10 designated hitters followed by the top 50 right fielders.

Emerging from your mother’s basement after six months, “I did it! I won my fantasy baseball league!” It begins to dawn on you that the world no longer looks as you remember it. Where there were once blossoming trees, there’s now decaying branches. Where flowers once sprouted, shriveled vines remained. A tumbleweed blows past. Minutes […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? Hitter Profiles: Finding Brent Rooker
September 22, 2024 | 2024 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Hitters | 1 Commentby: Jeremy Brewer
Brent Rooker has absolutely broken out in 2024, delivering an incredible season, hitting .304 with 38 homers and 11 steals. Coming into the season, the Oakland Athletic was seen as a power-only bat that would drain your batting average. However, throughout this season, he has proven his value to be much more by improving his plate approach and adding some speed to boot. This performance has Rooker ranked as the 10th most valuable hitter on the Razzball Player Rater in 2024. Heading into next season, we have to view him as a top-three-round player, especially considering the move to Sacramento, where he’ll benefit from short porches down both lines. This week, in our final Hitter Profile for 2024, we look ahead to next season and hunt for the next Brent Rooker-type breakout.
