2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Early-Round Roster Construction
In the 2022 edition of the FTN Baseball Draft Guide, I wrote about some of the tools that I use to prepare for a rotisserie draft. The most popular part seemed to be the flowcharts that I use, so I thought I’d take a little deeper dive on that portion of my draft prep. The […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Closers — 2022 Lessons & 2023 Strategies
Although baseball continues evolving in terms of bullpen usage patterns, saves remain tethered with chaos. “Never pay for saves” has been shouted from the mountaintops by many fantasy pundits while others insist fantasy players draft skills over roles. But the term, “closer” gets forced into many team constructs which do not rely on one reliever […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Identifying Late-Round Profitable Hitters
Landing profitable late-round hitters was a difficult task in 2022. It was the Year of the Late-Round Pitcher as there were a plethora of arms with NFBC average draft positions beyond 250 who provided tremendous profit. Tony Gonsolin, Nestor Cortes, Kyle Wright, Spencer Strider, Tyler Anderson, Cristian Javier and Miles Mikolas were all either drafted […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Identifying Late-Round Profitable Pitchers
More often than not when we get into the deeper parts of fantasy baseball drafts, it’s mostly hitters that end up providing us with a profit. It’s usually easier targeting a hitter in later rounds rather than a starting pitcher. Last season proved that theory wrong as we saw a plethora of starting pitchers going […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Using Fantasy Baseball to Cash MLB Props
There are clear differences between playing fantasy baseball and gambling on baseball. Research and expertise in one area could be extremely helpful in the other. Like fantasy baseball, gambling is all about identifying an edge and striking when there is value. However, instead of competing against other managers, you’re going up against an efficient […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Fantasy Impact of MLB Rule Changes
Major League Baseball’s Joint Competition Committee, comprising club representatives, players and an umpire, approved a pitch timer, shift restrictions and bigger bases for the 2023 season.

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Pitching Stats to Absorb and Ignore
If you’re a fantasy baseball player who focuses heavily on offseason research, you’re aware how quickly you can become inundated by numbers. It’s easy to get so bogged down in active spin, a pitcher’s unique arsenal and movement profiles that you forget to see the forest for the trees. Worse, you spend a lot of […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: The Truths & Misconceptions of Scarcity
In economics, to say that a resource is scarce is to say that demand for that resource exceeds supply. So understood, scarcity is an essential element of fantasy baseball. The goal is of course to compile more of certain statistics than your competitors, and those statistics are in limited supply – there are only so […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: Breaking Down the New NFBC Gladiator
A funny thing happens in sports when you lose on the big stage. Some players saunter off the field with their heads down. Others take out their frustration on the water cooler. Some wrap a towel around their face and sit in catatonic disbelief. Then, there’s Stefon Diggs. Wait! Hold up, isn’t this a […]

2023 Fantasy Baseball Preview: The Anatomy of a Bold Drop
When the baseball season begins March 30, the focus of fantasy baseball players will shift from drafting mode to in-season mode.

It makes sense because fantasy baseball leagues have a similar group […]
