There’s no doubting that statistics are important in fantasy baseball. You can’t succeed without understanding the stats and properly valuing players. But the advent of advanced metrics and now StatCast data has had one detrimental effect. We’re so deluged with deep statistical dives into every player, that the industry has turned its back to some extent on Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy. We get so wrapped up in evaluating the MLB players that we forget fantasy baseball is a game unto itself. This post will hopefully address that issue. The links below are all focused exclusively on Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy and how you can make Draft Day a success.
We’ll do our best to include links for each of the ever-increasing formats we’re seeing in fantasy baseball. As always if you think we’re missing something, let us know in the comments below or use our Link Submission Page.
For now, I’ve included links from the past couple of seasons. Though the names may have changed the strategy can still help us. Once the content starts flowing for 2022 I’m sure we’ll have plenty more for your fantasy enjoyment.
