Fantasy Baseball Player Rankings: Top 300

Fantasy baseball season is just around the corner, and it’s time to start looking at early player rankings.

The rankings below are based on a standard 5X5 rotisserie league. There will be some minor differences in head-to-head formats.

Speed is more important this season after we saw an explosion of stolen bases in 2023, so you will notice power hitters fall a little further down the list than in years past.

You may also notice there are few pitchers that have to be taken in early rounds. This could be a good season to wait on starting pitching. There are quite a few relief pitchers available for your saves and holds leagues in later rounds as well.

Without further ado, here are my Top 300 fantasy baseball players going into March. Updates will be posted as we get more news from spring training.
