This one always leads to a bunch of questions, since I typically drop util-only players into the 1B/Util list and those guys fall into three camps. There are the true util-only types. There are guys who we expect to earn eligibility elsewhere sometime soon. And then there is the camp of one: Shohei Ohtani.
After starting with the second largest position group last week, the Ottoneu rankings push continues with the largest position group this week. You can find all the information about the format and methodology for these rankings in Chad’s introduction.

Here are few more notes about my process:
Just to reiterate a point that Chad makes in his introduction: yes, these rankings are presented ordinally, but the tier a player appears in is much more important than if they’re ranked 16th or 28th. Within tiers, players are generally ranked by their projected Pts/PA but that doesn’t necessarily mean I think one player is significantly more valuable than another in the same tier. I’ve got notes on the top 75-ish players below and I’ll add more notes when I update the rankings next month. Let’s get into it.
| Tier | Rank | Player | Position | Projected Pts | Pts/PA | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $66-$77 | 1 | Aaron Judge | OF | 1325.5 | 2.03 | The best hitter in baseball and showing no signs of slowing down. |
| $55-$65 | 2 | Juan Soto | OF | 1160.9 | 1.70 | Despite the slow start in his first season in New York, still finished the season as the third most valuable player in Ottoneu. |
| $45-$54 | 3 | Yordan Alvarez | OF | 857.2 | 1.68 | Unquestionably productive when healthy, but has never played in more than 150 games in a single season and has averaged just 118 games per season over the last five years. |
| $45-$54 | 4 | Ronald Acuña Jr. | OF | 915.8 | 1.64 | Skills all looked intact after he returned from his second major knee injury in late May. Lack of SB shouldn’t be an issue in FGpts. |
| $36-$44 | 5 | Kyle Tucker | OF | 868.7 | 1.51 | Should be healthy in 2026 after a finger injury derailed his 2H in ’25. Only question is where he’ll sign — he’ll produce wherever he lands. |
| $36-$44 | 6 | Kyle Schwarber | OF | 1011.6 | 1.48 | Even though he re-signed with the Phillies, it’s hard to imagine him repeating his career year from 2025. |
| $36-$44 | 7 | Corbin Carroll | OF | 935.2 | 1.45 | Contact quality dramatically improved last year. Could he take another step forward? |
| $28-$35 | 8 | Brent Rooker | OF | 911.8 | 1.42 | Plate discipline continued to improve in 2025, and contact quality was still excellent, but wOBA still fell by nearly 50 points. I’m looking for a bounce back in ’26. |
| $28-$35 | 9 | Fernando Tatis Jr. | OF | 886.1 | 1.41 | Probably won’t return to the .400 wOBAs he posted early in his career, still very productive with .350 wOBAs. |
| $28-$35 | 10 | James Wood | OF | 817.6 | 1.35 | Despite second half slump (150 wRC+ in 1H, 93 in 2H), ceiling is extremely high. |
| $28-$35 | 11 | Julio Rodríguez | OF | 885.6 | 1.33 | Still hits too many groundballs, but improved his strikeout rate in 2025. Batted ball quality is still there, just needs to elevate more. |
| $28-$35 | 12 | Roman Anthony | OF | 684.3 | 1.32 | Extremely impressive big league debut cut short by injury. Could have highest ceiling of any player in this tier. |
| $21-$27 | 13 | Byron Buxton | OF | 714.2 | 1.45 | Produces like a top 10 OF by Pts/PA but the question is always how many games will he play. 2025 was the first time he had more than 500 PAs since 2017. |
| $21-$27 | 14 | George Springer | OF | 791.0 | 1.34 | How much do you trust his rebound? Significant skill changes drove improvements, but he’s entering his age-36 season. |
| $21-$27 | 15 | Riley Greene | OF | 813.7 | 1.33 | Broke out wiht 36 HR in 2025, but strikeout rate climbed over 30%. Still starts against LHP, but very unproductive. |
| $21-$27 | 16 | Seiya Suzuki | OF | 805.1 | 1.32 | Contact quality still excellent despite second half slump. Plus he stayed healthy all season long. |
| $21-$27 | 17 | Mike Trout | OF | 641.5 | 1.31 | How the mighty have fallen. Power output significantly dropped but managed to play more than 130 games for the first time since 2019. |
| $21-$27 | 18 | Wyatt Langford | OF | 748.3 | 1.28 | Prospect hype placed too high expectations on him. Slower to develop but still very good player and getting better. |
| $21-$27 | 19 | Jackson Chourio | OF | 763.2 | 1.27 | One of the youngest players in baseball with two good seasons to start his career. Still waiting for a big step forward. |
| $15-$20 | 20 | Kyle Stowers | OF | 632.1 | 1.32 | Breakout season in 2025 cut short by injury. All the underlying metrics look solid, needs to prove it in ’26. |
| $15-$20 | 21 | Jarren Duran | OF | 829.5 | 1.29 | Issues against LHP keep his ceiling lower than you’d think. Hard to pay more than $20 for what is essentially a part-time player. |
| $15-$20 | 22 | Tyler Soderstrom | 1B/OF | 686.2 | 1.27 | Big breakout wasn’t a Sacramento mirage (-9 point wOBA home/road split). Adding OF eligibility definitely helps his value. |
| $15-$20 | 23 | Christian Yelich | OF | 716.5 | 1.26 | Good all around player. Completely healthy season after serious back injury cut 2024 short. |
| $15-$20 | 24 | Cody Bellinger | OF | 765.6 | 1.26 | Could be ranked a tier lower depending on where he signs. Big beneficiary of Yankee Stadium’s short porch (76 point wOBA home/away split) |
| $15-$20 | 25 | Jackson Merrill | OF | 701.1 | 1.26 | Five point increase in strikeout rate led to 20 point drop in wOBA. Contact quality remained solid. |
| $15-$20 | 26 | Teoscar Hernández | OF | 727.3 | 1.25 | Barrell rate down. Walk rate down. Feels like 2024 was the outlier between two disappointing seasons. |
| $10-$14 | 27 | Matt Wallner | OF | 539.8 | 1.29 | No platoon issues last year despite reputation. BABIP dropped 161 points last year, should be better in ’26. |
| $10-$14 | 28 | Kerry Carpenter | OF | 569.7 | 1.29 | Crushes RHP. Nearly unplayable against LHP. Probably won’t repeat the highs of 2024. |
| $10-$14 | 29 | Wilyer Abreu | OF | 552.9 | 1.24 | Big gains in contact rate while improving barrel rate. Top line results didn’t follow underlying metrics, but could take step forward in ’26. |
| $10-$14 | 30 | Pete Crow-Armstrong | OF | 712.7 | 1.24 | 131 wRC+ in 1H, 72 in 2H. Which is the real Pete? Underlying skills stayed stable throughout the year — maybe 2H slump was just bad luck? |
| $10-$14 | 31 | Taylor Ward | OF | 760.1 | 1.22 | Traded away from home run friendly Angels Stadium to unfriendly Camden Yards. Solid hitter but a little worried about new outlook. |
| $10-$14 | 32 | Jo Adell | OF | 641.5 | 1.21 | Big breakout fueled by big contact quality gains. Plate approach still poor which limits his ceiling. |
| $10-$14 | 33 | Oneil Cruz | OF | 657.3 | 1.21 | Still having trouble turing raw skills into a complete package. Strikeout issues a huge red flag. Ceiling is still high if he can figure out plate approach. |
| $10-$14 | 34 | Ian Happ | OF | 783.9 | 1.21 | A useful accumulator with decent skills across the board. |
| $10-$14 | 35 | Ryan O’Hearn | 1B/OF | 606.5 | 1.21 | Eliminated platoon splits in 2025, though he struggled in San Diego after trade. |
| $10-$14 | 36 | Alec Burleson | 1B/OF | 665.0 | 1.20 | Small improvements in plate discipline and contact quality led to big improvements in results. |
| $10-$14 | 37 | Trent Grisham | OF | 624.5 | 1.20 | Resurrected his career in New York, set career high in HR in 2025. Real change in plate approach from patient to selectively aggressive. |
| $10-$14 | 38 | Andy Pages | OF | 671.7 | 1.19 | Crushed the ball at home but couldn’t produce away from Dodger Stadium. |
| $10-$14 | 39 | Randy Arozarena | OF | 780.6 | 1.18 | A useful accumulator with decent skills across the board. Contact quality improved in ’25. |
| $10-$14 | 40 | Brandon Nimmo | OF | 749.4 | 1.18 | A useful accumulator with decent skills across the board. Will plate discipline rebound? |
| $10-$14 | 41 | Bryan Reynolds | OF | 733.5 | 1.14 | Strikeouts up even though chase rate fell. Contact quality stayed steady. Could bounce back if he can get the K’s back in line. |
| $6-$9 | 42 | Mickey Moniak | OF | 540.5 | 1.25 | Made real strides forward in Colorado. Strikeouts down, contact quality up, home park is a nice bonus. |
| $6-$9 | 43 | Ramón Laureano | OF | 566.9 | 1.23 | Resurrected his career in Baltimore, continued pounding the ball in San Diego. Biggest difference was 4 point improvement in contact rate. |
| $6-$9 | 44 | Brandon Marsh | OF | 541.4 | 1.21 | Much more aggressive at the plate in 2025 led to improved contact rate, lower walk rate. |
| $6-$9 | 45 | Lawrence Butler | OF | 644.9 | 1.16 | 2024 showed us his ceiling if everything goes right. 2025 showed us his floor if his plate discipline continues to slide. |
| $6-$9 | 46 | Daylen Lile | OF | 552.5 | 1.16 | Huge finish to the season looks like it was BABIP fueled (.380 BABIP in 2H). Excellent contact skills, little power, no walks — reminds me of Steven Kwan. |
| $6-$9 | 47 | Heliot Ramos | OF | 705.6 | 1.14 | Barrel rate way down but contact rate way up. Feels like he tried to trade power for contact but the result was a big step backwards. |
| $6-$9 | 48 | Michael Harris II | OF | 644.2 | 1.14 | 2H surge salvaged his season (47 wRC+ in 1H, 130 in 2H). Projections still really like him, but I’m weary after ’24 and 1H ’25. |
| $6-$9 | 49 | Jac Caglianone | 1B/OF | 500.0 | 1.14 | Rough debut in 2025 but the massive power is enticing. Should get a chance to prove he can stick in the big leagues with a full-time role in ’26. |
| $6-$9 | 50 | Spencer Steer | 1B/OF | 663.6 | 1.13 | Slowly worked his way back from shoulder injury (113 wRC+ in Aug/Sept). Still feels like 2023 was his high water mark. |
| $6-$9 | 51 | Steven Kwan | OF | 710.1 | 1.11 | Even if his BABIP rebounds, it seems like his 2024 power spike was a one-year blip. |
| $6-$9 | 52 | Luis Robert Jr. | OF | 533.4 | 1.11 | Improved his plate discipline significantly in 2025. Power still hasn’t returned and healthy will always be a question. |
| $6-$9 | 53 | TJ Friedl | OF | 644.4 | 1.11 | Solid plate approach gives him a nice floor. Tries to make the most of his pulled contact with weak contact quality. |
| $6-$9 | 54 | Daulton Varsho | OF | 530.5 | 1.11 | Big power spike after returning from shoulder injury. Too many strikeouts put a cap on his ceiling. |
| $3-$5 | 55 | Giancarlo Stanton | OF | 499.0 | 1.28 | Can still crush the ball when healthy. Enjoyed his best offensive season in 2025 since ’17, but only played in 77 games. |
| $3-$5 | 56 | Tyler O’Neill | OF | 449.5 | 1.26 | Is he healthy? Can he still hit for power in Camden Yards? Contact quality fell in ’25 but plate discipline bounced back. |
| $3-$5 | 57 | Masataka Yoshida | OF | 394.1 | 1.17 | Does he have a regular spot in Boston’s lineup? Injuries derailed his 2025 season but underlying metrics looked normal-ish. |
| $3-$5 | 58 | Dylan Beavers | OF | 473.0 | 1.16 | Top prospect who should have a path to everyday at-bats in Baltimore. Extremely patient with decent power. |
| $3-$5 | 59 | Jorge Soler | OF | 536.1 | 1.16 | Bat speed and power output fell significantly in 2025. Doesn’t have the plate approach to rebound if power is gone. |
| $3-$5 | 60 | Colton Cowser | OF | 541.3 | 1.15 | Strikeout rate jumped through the roof in 2025. Untenable at 35%, could make it work at 30%, but the margin is razor thin. |
| $3-$5 | 61 | Isaac Collins | OF | 469.9 | 1.14 | Excellent contact skills, little power, can take walks. I actually like his move to KC with it’s huge BABIP boosting park effects. |
| $3-$5 | 62 | Jasson Domínguez | OF | 417.8 | 1.14 | Might have path to full-time at-bats without Bellinger in the picture. Projections see a step forward for him in 2026, and he’s still only 23 years old. |
| $3-$5 | 63 | Austin Hays | OF | 494.2 | 1.14 | Nearly a 4 point jump in barrel rate in 2025 was really nice to see, but too many strikeouts caps his ceiling. |
| $3-$5 | 64 | Jesús Sánchez | OF | 531.3 | 1.13 | Contact quality took a steep dive after being traded to Houston. If it rebounds, could have a much higher ceiling than this ranking assumes. |
| $3-$5 | 65 | Lourdes Gurriel Jr. | OF | 551.4 | 1.12 | ACL injury means he’ll miss first few months of 2026 season. |
| $3-$5 | 66 | Evan Carter | OF | 392.5 | 1.11 | Injuries have stunted his development and lowered his ceiling. Made real plate discipline changes last year but still isn’t hitting the ball with authority. |
| $3-$5 | 67 | Mike Yastrzemski | OF | 527.7 | 1.11 | Dropped his strikeout rate below 20% in 2025 and still has pretty good contact quality metrics. |
| $3-$5 | 68 | Trevor Larnach | OF | 520.5 | 1.11 | Barrel rate dipped in 2025 but maintained plate discipline improvements from ’24. Might be just a platoon player. |
| $3-$5 | 69 | Jakob Marsee | OF | 578.6 | 1.11 | Exciting debut might have been BABIP fueled. Even if he doesn’t return to those heights, the skills are decent enough to return some value. |
| $3-$5 | 70 | JJ Bleday | OF | 496.3 | 1.11 | Big step backwards in 2025. Cincinnati should be a nice place to hit but he’s probably a platoon player in that lineup. |
| $3-$5 | 71 | Josh Lowe | OF | 484.9 | 1.10 | Got his strikeout rate under control in 2025 but contact quality cratered. Can he put it all together in ’26? Might be just a platoon player anyway. |
| $3-$5 | 72 | Jung Hoo Lee 이정후 | OF | 603.6 | 1.10 | Up-and-down season wound up being just average by the end. Projections see room for growth but I’m not sure from where. |
| $3-$5 | 73 | Lars Nootbaar | OF | 573.1 | 1.10 | Contact quality remained excellent but wasn’t pulling the ball as much in 2025. Solid floor thanks to good plate approach. |
| $3-$5 | 74 | Jordan Beck | OF | 569.1 | 1.09 | Had a solid first full season in the big leagues in 2025. Decent power but BABIP was a bit high and relied on Coors Field for a lot of his success (71 point wOBA home/away split). |
| $3-$5 | 75 | Brenton Doyle | OF | 569.1 | 1.06 | Really struggled in 2025 but underlying skills looked intact. Be prepared to sit him on the road. |
| $3-$5 | 76 | Dylan Crews | OF | 475.0 | 1.04 | Still waiting for him to acclimate to the big leagues. Ceiling might not be as high as his prospect reports thought. |
| $1-$2 | 77 | Jahmai Jones | OF | 311.7 | 1.30 | Contact quality and plate approach improved significantly in 2025 but still only a lefty masher on the short side of a platoon. |
| $1-$2 | 78 | Rob Refsnyder | OF | 293.3 | 1.19 | Contact quality improved significantly in 2025 but still only a lefty masher on the short side of a platoon. |
| $1-$2 | 79 | Troy Johnston | 1B/OF | 385.2 | 1.16 | Decent debut in Miami in 2025 and now gets to call Coors Field home. |
| $1-$2 | 80 | Luke Raley | 1B/OF | 360.2 | 1.13 | Injuries took a toll on him in 2025 and might be squeezed out of a roster spot in Seattle. Only a platoon hitter if he gets an opportunity somewhere. |
| $1-$2 | 81 | Jake McCarthy | OF | 421.7 | 1.13 | Speedster showed a little more pop in 2025 but his BABIP dropped by nearly 100 points. Now gets to call Coors Field home. |
| $1-$2 | 82 | Dominic Canzone | OF | 406.5 | 1.13 | Had the quietest 141 wRC+ season in 2025. Fantastic contact quality, decent plate approach, might not be able to hit lefties. |
| $1-$2 | 83 | Garrett Mitchell | OF | 324.8 | 1.12 | Injuries have prevented him from establishing himself in the big leagues. Still has plenty of tools but contact issues could be a problem. |
| $1-$2 | 84 | Colby Thomas | OF | 388.8 | 1.11 | Huge power, huge strikeouts. If he can figure out his contact rate, watch out. |
| $1-$2 | 85 | CJ Kayfus | 1B/OF | 418.9 | 1.10 | Decent power but contact issues could prevent him from hitting his ceiling. |
| $1-$2 | 86 | Chase DeLauter | OF | 493.4 | 1.10 | Top prospect who should have a path to everyday at-bats in Cleveland. Decent tools across the board without a standout skill. |
| $1-$2 | 87 | Owen Caissie | OF | 470.4 | 1.09 | Top prospect who should have a path to everyday at-bats in Miami. Power should play if he can get his strikeout rate under control. |
| $1-$2 | 88 | Justin Crawford | OF | 472.0 | 1.09 | Top prospect who should have a path to everyday at-bats in Philadelphia. Speedster like his dad and needs high BABIP to maintain production. |
| $1-$2 | 89 | Sal Frelick | OF | 573.4 | 1.09 | Improved his contact quality from poor to below average in 2025. Also improved contact rate and pull rate. |
| $1-$2 | 90 | Emmanuel Rodriguez | OF | 287.2 | 1.08 | Top prospect who could make his debut sometime in 2026. Injuries have really stunted his development, but could have an enticing power/patience profile if he’s healthy. |
| $1-$2 | 91 | Heriberto Hernández | OF | 383.9 | 1.08 | Decent debut in Miami in 2025. Got his strikeout rate sorted out in the big leagues but might only be the short side of a platoon. |
| $1-$2 | 92 | Harrison Bader | OF | 501.5 | 1.08 | Contact quality improved in 2025 but strikeout rate shot up too. Won’t have as nice a home ballpark in San Francisco. |
| $1-$2 | 93 | Adolis García | OF | 606.8 | 1.08 | Contact quality still looks good and his contact rate improved by 4 points in 2025. Power has slowly dried up anyway. |
| $1-$2 | 94 | Nathan Lukes | OF | 382.9 | 1.08 | Solid contact hitter with a bit of power. Might be squeezed out of a platoon role in a crowded Toronto outfield. |
| $1-$2 | 95 | Carson Benge | OF | 452.3 | 1.07 | Top prospect who should have a path to everyday at-bats in New York. Solid skills across the board, but doesn’t have an elite carrying tool |
| $1-$2 | 96 | Nick Castellanos | OF | 575.2 | 1.07 | Cast out of Philadelphia and landed in San Diego. He’s probably a part time player at this point, but still has some pop left in his bat. |
| $1-$2 | 97 | Victor Robles | OF | 310.4 | 1.07 | Up-and-down rookie season in 2025. He might have been pushed too quickly but had some spurts of success early in the year. |
| $1-$2 | 98 | Andrew Benintendi | OF | 517.8 | 1.05 | Started pulling the ball in the air a bunch and barrel rate improved by nearly 5 points in 2025. |
| $1-$2 | 99 | Zac Veen | OF | 335.0 | 1.05 | |
| $1-$2 | 100 | Cedric Mullins | OF | 489.5 | 1.05 | Contact quality and plate discipline have been slowly eroding over the last few years. Breakout year in 2021 was a long time ago. |
| $1-$2 | 101 | Gavin Sheets | 1B/OF | 519.2 | 1.03 | Improved contact quality with full-time at-bats in San Diego but is probably on the strong side of a platoon now. |
| $1-$2 | 102 | Parker Meadows | OF | 415.7 | 1.03 | After promising season in 2024, injuries cost him most of ’25. Probably on the strong side of a platoon. |
| $1-$2 | 103 | Walker Jenkins | OF | 291.1 | 0.99 | Top prospect who could make his debut sometime in 2026. Injuries have really stunted his development, but good approach and contact rate give him a high floor. |
| $1-$2 | 104 | Cam Smith | OF | 444.9 | 0.99 | Up-and-down rookie season in 2025 but still only 23 years old. Needs to bring down strikeout rate but contact quality was pretty good. |

After getting started with middle infield last week, this week we move on to outfield. Why start with those two spots? Because they are huge lists and I want to get them done. Rock solid logic, there. Outfield is also an interesting position over the years, as it has varied between feeling deep and feeling shallow. This year, between the emergence of guys like Kyle Stowers, Tyler Soderstrom, Roman Anthony, and James Wood and the re-emergence of guys like George Springer and Cody Bellinger, it feels like it is trending back towards “deep” and that makes it a fun position to think about for auctions.
Chad started off the Ottoneu rankings push with his 4×4 middle infield rankings yesterday and I’m following up with my rankings for Ottoneu points leagues. You can find all the information about the format and methodology for these rankings in Chad’s introduction.

Here are few more notes about my process:
Just to reiterate a point that Chad makes in his introduction: yes, these rankings are presented ordinally, but the tier a player appears in is much more important than if they’re ranked 16th or 28th. Within tiers, players are generally ranked by their projected Pts/PA but that doesn’t necessarily mean I think one player is significantly more valuable than another in the same tier. I’ve got notes on the top 50-ish players below and I’ll add more notes when I update the rankings next month. Let’s get into it.
| Tier | Rank | Player | Position | Projected Pts | Pts/PA | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $45-$54 | 1 | Bobby Witt Jr. | SS | 1040.4 | 1.55 | Clearly the best MI in baseball with just six hitters projected to outproduce him. |
| $36-$44 | 2 | Ketel Marte | 2B | 857.8 | 1.47 | The best 2B in baseball, trade rumors shouldn’t affect production. |
| $36-$44 | 3 | Corey Seager | SS | 732.4 | 1.45 | Productive when on the field but injury concerns will always be a factor. |
| $36-$44 | 4 | Gunnar Henderson | SS | 941.6 | 1.43 | Took a step back in 2025 but the ceiling is still very high. |
| $28-$35 | 5 | Francisco Lindor | SS | 920.6 | 1.35 | Consistent production means he’s a little overlooked in favor of flashier MI, but he’s been very good for four years straight. |
| $28-$35 | 6 | Elly De La Cruz | SS | 885.2 | 1.34 | Quad injury clearly held him back in 2025, but the ceiling is sky high. Considered ranking him a tier higher, but needs to prove it first. |
| $28-$35 | 7 | Mookie Betts | SS | 800.3 | 1.31 | Lost positional flexibility and spring illness negatively affected his entire 2025. Should bounce back in 2026, but how high? |
| $21-$27 | 8 | Trea Turner | SS | 798.6 | 1.30 | The power is probably on the downswing, but contact ability is still excellent. Steals are a bonus in FGpts. |
| $21-$27 | 9 | Jazz Chisholm Jr. | 2B/3B | 721.2 | 1.29 | Huge power explosion in first full season in New York raises his ceiling significantly. |
| $21-$27 | 10 | Geraldo Perdomo | SS | 784.6 | 1.29 | Big breakout in 2025 and all the underlying metrics look sustainable. Still worried about some power regression. |
| $21-$27 | 11 | Zach Neto | SS | 747.8 | 1.27 | The ceiling is a 30/30 season. Batted ball metrics all point to significant breakout potential. |
| $21-$27 | 12 | Bo Bichette | SS | 746.4 | 1.27 | Posted his best offensive season in 2025 after a down year in ’24. Any potential landing spot shouldn’t affect his production too much. |
| $15-$20 | 13 | Jose Altuve | 2B/OF | 745.4 | 1.21 | Approaching the age cliff at 36 years old. Still possesses solid skills, but how long will they last? |
| $15-$20 | 14 | Jeremy Peña | SS | 714.8 | 1.19 | Came back down to earth after rib injury (143 wRC+ in 1H, 120 in 2H), but 2025 represented a big step forward for him. |
| $10-$14 | 15 | Jacob Wilson | SS | 623.8 | 1.22 | Idealized version of Luis Arraez with a touch more power. Still pretty BABIP dependent which leads to low lows. |
| $10-$14 | 16 | Brandon Lowe | 2B | 615.9 | 1.21 | Move to Pittsburgh shouldn’t hurt too much. 2025 was his first (mostly) healthy season since 2021. |
| $10-$14 | 17 | Luke Keaschall | 2B | 512.7 | 1.20 | Looked like a big leaguer in his cup of coffee in 2025. Batted ball peripherals are a bit concerning, but the contact skill is real. |
| $10-$14 | 18 | Jorge Polanco | 2B/3B | 586.7 | 1.20 | Swing change allowed him to thrive despite battling nagging injuries. Probably won’t be MI eligible next year. |
| $10-$14 | 19 | CJ Abrams | SS | 730.9 | 1.19 | Has developed into a good player, though the promise of a power breakout is probably fleeting unless he makes some serious contact quality gains. |
| $10-$14 | 20 | Willy Adames | SS | 774.9 | 1.17 | The power is real but playing in SF hurt his overall offensive production. |
| $10-$14 | 21 | Brendan Donovan | 2B/SS/OF | 645.7 | 1.17 | Solid player across the board with no weaknesses. Multi-positional eligibility helps his value. |
| $10-$14 | 22 | Carlos Correa | SS/3B | 608.6 | 1.15 | Has a history of quality production but health will determine if he can reach his previous highs. |
| $10-$14 | 23 | Gleyber Torres | 2B | 734.2 | 1.15 | Played through injury during the second half but still put up a solid season in Detroit. |
| $10-$14 | 24 | Maikel Garcia | 2B/SS/3B/OF | 719.3 | 1.14 | Huge breakout in 2025 doesn’t look like a mirage. Positional flexibility a big bonus. |
| $10-$14 | 25 | Brice Turang | 2B | 706.7 | 1.14 | Another big breakout from 2025 that looks like it’s going to stick. Might have the highest ceiling of any player in this tier. |
| $6-$9 | 26 | Jordan Westburg | 2B/3B | 593.6 | 1.23 | Solid player across the board with no weaknesses, but no standout skills either. Needs to stay healthy. |
| $6-$9 | 27 | Kevin McGonigle | SS | 360.2 | 1.19 | Top prospect who could make his debut sometime in 2026. |
| $6-$9 | 28 | Colt Keith | 1B/2B/3B | 559.7 | 1.13 | Quietly put together a great season in his second year in the big leagues. Projections really like him in 2026. |
| $6-$9 | 29 | Trevor Story | SS | 643.4 | 1.13 | First healthy year since 2021 led to significant improvements in contact quality. Poor plate discipline holds him back. |
| $6-$9 | 30 | Konnor Griffin | SS | 550.0 | 1.12 | Top prospect who could make his debut sometime in 2026. |
| $6-$9 | 31 | Ezequiel Tovar | SS | 649.4 | 1.12 | Extremely streaky hitter who had a big step backwards in 2025. Uncertain future, but Coors effect should be a benefit. |
| $6-$9 | 32 | Nico Hoerner | 2B | 704.6 | 1.11 | All hit, no power profile works when he’s making contact 90% of the time. |
| $6-$9 | 33 | Xander Bogaerts | SS | 600.9 | 1.11 | Probably won’t reach his previous highs, but still a useful accumulator with decent skills across the board. |
| $3-$5 | 34 | Luis García Jr. | 2B | 576.8 | 1.13 | Still only 26, he’s improved signifcantly over the last few years. Added a bit of power in 2024, needs to put it all together to really take step forward. |
| $3-$5 | 35 | Brett Baty | 2B/3B | 461.9 | 1.12 | Excellent 2H (135 wRC+) gives him something to build off of. Excellent contact quality but needs to elevate more often. Could have a path to playing time at DH in a crowded infield in New York. |
| $3-$5 | 36 | Jeff McNeil | 2B/OF | 557.5 | 1.10 | New ballpark in Sacramento should help, but health uncertain after offseason thoracic outlet surgery. |
| $3-$5 | 37 | Bryson Stott | 2B/SS | 623.8 | 1.10 | Swing change helped him improve contact quality in 2H. Breakout candidate if the swing change sticks. |
| $3-$5 | 38 | Luis Arraez | 1B/2B | 696.9 | 1.10 | Contact rate king, but too much weak contact to make the most of all those balls in play. |
| $3-$5 | 39 | Colson Montgomery | SS/3B | 533.1 | 1.09 | A lot of home runs make up for a really poor approach at the plate. |
| $3-$5 | 40 | Dansby Swanson | SS | 663.9 | 1.08 | Still has some pop but poor plate approach caps his ceiling as an average MI. |
| $3-$5 | 41 | Zach McKinstry | SS/3B/OF | 472.7 | 1.08 | Came back down to earth after All-Star break (132 wRC+ in 1H, 81 in 2H). He really leaned into his pull side to outperform xwOBA. Positional flexibility is an asset. |
| $3-$5 | 42 | JJ Wetherholt | 2B/SS | 448.4 | 1.08 | Probably closer to the big leagues than the other two top prospects in this tier but lower ceiling than Griffin and McGonigle. |
| $3-$5 | 43 | Xavier Edwards | 2B/SS | 594.3 | 1.07 | BABIP fell by 68 points and walk rate dropped by 3 points in 2025. High-contact approach will always be dependent on batted ball luck. |
| $3-$5 | 44 | Caleb Durbin | 2B/3B | 553.9 | 1.07 | High-contact, pull-oriented approach should play well in Boston. |
| $3-$5 | 45 | Ozzie Albies | 2B | 636.6 | 1.07 | He’s fallen pretty far from his peak but still only 29 years old. The power has completely evaporated and it doesn’t look like it’s coming back. |
| $3-$5 | 46 | Ceddanne Rafaela | 2B/OF | 602.8 | 1.07 | Managed to cut strikeout rate by 6.5 points in 2025, but underlying plate discipline metrics aren’t pretty. Chases and whiffs too much to support a K% below 20%. |
| $3-$5 | 47 | Jackson Holliday | 2B/SS | 613.2 | 1.06 | Slower development than expected from a former top prospect. Ceiling is still high and only 22 years old. |
| $3-$5 | 48 | Willi Castro | 2B/3B/OF | 547.3 | 1.06 | Absolutely tanked after joining Chicago last summer but he was a useful utility guy in Minnesota for three years. New home in Colorado should help. |
| $3-$5 | 49 | Jake Cronenworth | 1B/2B/SS | 594.0 | 1.05 | Put together his best season in 2025 since breakout in 2021. |
| $3-$5 | 50 | Marcus Semien | 2B | 657.1 | 1.04 | Another veteran who has fallen far from his peak. Solid 2H gives some hope he’s still got something in the tank. |
| $1-$2 | 51 | Romy Gonzalez | 1B/2B | 396.9 | 1.21 | Significant improvement in contact quality in 2025, but still might only be the short side of a 2B platoon. |
| $1-$2 | 52 | Kody Clemens | 1B/2B/OF | 332.3 | 1.07 | Earned consistent playing time after joining Minnesota in late April and contact quality significantly improved. Doesn’t have a path to full-time at-bats right now, but should be first man off the bench. |
| $1-$2 | 53 | Tyler Freeman | 2B/OF | 397.8 | 1.06 | Claimed full-time at-bats by June but limped through the end of the season (66 wRC+ in 2H) |
| $1-$2 | 54 | Marcelo Mayer | 2B/SS/3B | 424.9 | 1.06 | Has had trouble staying healthy (wrist surgery derailed his rookie season) and might not start against LHP. Has the pedigree and skill set to be successful, but needs to put it all together first. |
| $1-$2 | 55 | Jonathan India | 2B/3B/OF | 587.9 | 1.05 | Suffered through his worst season of his career in 2025. Too much elevated contact without enough quality to do real damage. |
| $1-$2 | 56 | Josh Smith | 1B/SS/3B/OF | 541.8 | 1.05 | Plate discipline improved in 2025 but contact quality slid backwards. Decent bat with flexible positiion eligibilty. |
| $1-$2 | 57 | Matt McLain | 2B | 568.5 | 1.04 | His breakout in 2023 seems like eons ago. Was the shoulder injury still affecting him or did we see the real McLain in ’25? |
| $1-$2 | 58 | Jett Williams | 2B/SS/OF | 481.3 | 1.04 | Trade to Milwaukee opens up a path to a major league debut in 2026. Power/speed combo is enticing, but questions about his hit tool remain. |
| $1-$2 | 59 | J.P. Crawford | SS | 600.3 | 1.02 | Excellent plate discipline gives him a solid floor but power dried up in 2025. |
| $1-$2 | 60 | Masyn Winn | SS | 600.0 | 1.02 | Played through knee injury in 2025 which could explain the dip in power output. Elite defense will keep him on the field, helping him accumulate points. |
| $1-$2 | 61 | Kristian Campbell | 1B/2B/OF | 374.7 | 1.02 | Disaster of a rookie campaign and now it doesn’t look like he has a path to a full-time role in the majors. Needs to bounce back in Triple-A first and force his way into the lineup. |
| $1-$2 | 62 | Jordan Lawlar | 2B/SS/3B | 279.8 | 1.01 | Arizona continues to find excuses to bury Lawlar on the depth chart. Now he’s learning center field this spring but still might be sharing time anyway. |
| $1-$2 | 63 | Otto Lopez | 2B/SS | 548.4 | 1.01 | |
| $1-$2 | 64 | Jose Caballero | 2B/SS/3B/OF | 376.0 | 1.01 | |
| $1-$2 | 65 | Ernie Clement | 1B/2B/SS/3B | 536.2 | 1.00 | |
| $1-$2 | 66 | Max Muncy (ATH) | 2B/SS/3B | 329.5 | 0.96 | |
| $1-$2 | 67 | Leo De Vries | SS | 427.4 | 0.93 | Top prospect who might be a year or two away from making his debut. Very high ceiling, but still very young. |
| $1-$2 | 68 | Cole Young | 2B/SS | 358.4 | 0.92 | |
| $1-$2 | 69 | Colt Emerson | SS | 381.5 | 0.88 | Top prospect who could make his debut sometime in 2026. Solid skills across the board, but doesn’t have the elite carrying tool like other top prospects ranked above. |

Here are few more notes about my process:
Just to reiterate a point that Chad makes in his introduction: yes, these rankings are presented ordinally, but the tier a player appears in is much more important than if they’re ranked 16th or 28th. Within tiers, players are generally ranked by their projected Pts/PA but that doesn’t necessarily mean I think one player is significantly more valuable than another in the same tier. I’ve got notes on the top 15-ish players below and I’ll add more notes when I update the rankings next month. Let’s get into it.
| Tier | Rank | Player | Position | Projected Pts | Pts/PA | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $36-$44 | 1 | José Ramírez | 3B | 954.8 | 1.46 | 133 wRC+ in 2025 was a “down” year for him. Contact quality slipped a bit too. |
| $28-$35 | 2 | Junior Caminero | 3B | 848.1 | 1.42 | Blasted 45 home runs in his first full year in the big leagues. Move back to Tropicana Field won’t help but has enough power that it won’t matter much. |
| $21-$27 | 3 | Max Muncy (LAD) | 3B | 528.6 | 1.31 | Muncy’s wRC+ after he started wearing glasses on April 30: 166. Contact quality improved and strikeout rate dropped by 5 points. |
| $21-$27 | 4 | Austin Riley | 3B | 713.2 | 1.28 | Four straight years of declining production is a big concern. Contact quality looks fantastic but plate discipline deteriorated in 2025. |
| $21-$27 | 5 | Manny Machado | 3B | 803.1 | 1.26 | A useful accumulator with good skills across the board. Always plays — two seasons in his entire career w/ less than 150 games played. |
| $15-$20 | 6 | Munetaka Murakami | 3B | 710.7 | 1.29 | The power is definitely real but there’s huge risk in his contact rate. The projections look decent, but the adjustment period could hurt. |
| $15-$20 | 7 | Matt Chapman | 3B | 719.7 | 1.21 | Pretty reliable contributor across the board. No weaknesses, but no standout skills either. |
| $15-$20 | 8 | Alex Bregman | 3B | 726.6 | 1.20 | New home in Wrigley Field shouldn’t hurt his pull-heavy approach too much and he had his best contact quality of his career in 2025. |
| $10-$14 | 9 | Kazuma Okamoto | 1B/3B | 636.2 | 1.22 | Much more stable profile than Murakami without the high ceiling. Will probably end up getting 3B eligibility. |
| $10-$14 | 10 | Isaac Paredes | 3B | 612.8 | 1.22 | Hamstring injury derailed a very good first year in Houston. Some concerns about playing time in a crowded lineup. |
| $10-$14 | 11 | Eugenio Suárez | 3B | 750.7 | 1.20 | Couldn’t keep his offensive resurgence going after re-joining Seattle. Ceiling might come down to where he signs. |
| $10-$14 | 12 | Sal Stewart | 1B/3B | 570.8 | 1.19 | Solid debut late last year with impressive contact quality. Needs to earn a spot in a crowded lineup. |
| $6-$9 | 13 | Alec Bohm | 1B/3B | 645.6 | 1.16 | Career-high contact rate in 2025, but still pounds the ball into the ground too often. |
| $6-$9 | 14 | Addison Barger | 3B/OF | 531.6 | 1.15 | 1H breakout (125 wRC+) slowed way down in 2H (87) and then starred in the postseason (188). Great contact quality, needs to hone plate approach. |
| $3-$5 | 15 | Mark Vientos | 3B | 526.3 | 1.16 | Couldn’t repeat his breakout from 2024, rebounded a bit in 2H ’25. Contact quality looks good and strikeout rate dropped 5 points. |
| $3-$5 | 16 | Yoán Moncada | 3B | 393.3 | 1.13 | Big contact quality improvements in 2025 came at the cost of a slightly lower contact rate. The big question is if he can stay healthy. |
| $3-$5 | 17 | Royce Lewis | 3B | 490.2 | 1.12 | Is he healthy? If he is, is he the guy who posted a 152 wRC+ in 2023 or an 85 wRC+ in ’25? |
| $3-$5 | 18 | Noelvi Marte | 3B/OF | 475.3 | 1.09 | Looked pretty good after returning from PED suspension in July. Plate approach leaves a lot to be desired. |
| $3-$5 | 19 | Miguel Vargas | 1B/3B | 558.6 | 1.07 | Earned a shot at full-time at-bats and delivered a solid season with a good plate approach and decent contact quality. |
| $1-$2 | 20 | Miguel Andujar | 3B/OF | 399.6 | 1.13 | What a weird career arc. Huge 2H in 2025 was likely BABIP fueled (.413 BABIP w/ Cincinnati) but that comes with his aggressive, contact-oriented approach. |
| $1-$2 | 21 | Matt Shaw | 3B | 438.1 | 1.08 | Up-and-down rookie season in 2025 and now it doesn’t look like he has a spot in the starting lineup with Bregman in town. |
| $1-$2 | 22 | Otto Kemp | 1B/3B/OF | 365.8 | 1.08 | Really solid contact quality, really poor plate approach. Also on the short side of a platoon in Philadelphia. |
| $1-$2 | 23 | Connor Norby | 3B | 439.4 | 1.03 | Injuries took a toll on him in 2025, but had a really intriguing debut back in ’24. Contact rate needs to improve to maintain any sort of success. |
| $1-$2 | 24 | Nolan Arenado | 3B | 538.6 | 1.01 | Offense cratered in 2025. Too much elevated contact without enough quality to do real damage. Maybe we’ll see a dead cat bounce now that he’s been traded to Arizona. |
| $1-$2 | 25 | Josh Jung | 3B | 485.0 | 1.01 | Injuries have derailed what had been a promising start to his career. Contact quality improved in 2025 and the contact rate jumped nearly 6 points, but still too aggressive with his approach. |
| $1-$2 | 26 | Ryan McMahon | 3B | 560.0 | 1.01 | Contact quality has been excellent but it’s really hard to survive with a strikeout rate over 30%. Probably on the strong side of a platoon in New York. |
| $0-$1 | 27 | Christian Encarnacion-Strand | 1B/3B | 272.4 | 1.03 | |
| $0-$1 | 28 | Nate Eaton | 3B/OF | 297.6 | 1.02 | |
| $0 | 29 | Justin Turner | 1B/3B | 405.4 | 1.06 | |
| $0 | 30 | Kyle Karros | 3B | 315.5 | 0.98 | |
| $0 | 31 | Jeimer Candelario | 1B/3B | 351.6 | 0.95 | |
| $0 | 32 | Will Wagner | 1B/3B | 221.0 | 0.94 | |
| $0 | 33 | Jose Miranda | 3B | 346.7 | 0.94 | |

| $0 | 41 | Ben Williamson | 3B | 314.0 | 0.83 |
This list might have caused me more consternation than any other (important note: I haven’t looked at SP yet and that one is always painful). There are question marks up and down the rankings and the number of players who look like they could be sure-fire, high-quality starters but could also be high-risk busts is really high. Is the position deep? Is it shallow? Is it going to be easy to find a third basemen or will we all be dreading lineup decisions by May?
As we move into the final weeks before the keeper deadline, it’s time to get our Ottoneu rankings out. Over the next three plus weeks, you’ll get regular rankings articles from me and from Jake Mailhot, as discussed in my rankings preview in December. I will post my 4×4 tiered rankings position-by-position, and follow up that day or the next with rankings for FanGraphs Points league. On the 4×4 articles, I’ll give some overall thoughts on the position, while in the FanGraphs Points articles, I’ll offer thoughts on how the position looks different for 5×5 and Head-to-Head leagues. Jake’s FanGraphs points rankings will come out the day after my 4×4 rankings. We’re starting with middle infield.
The Ottoneu rankings push continues with a look at the final position player group: first basemen. You can find all the information about the format and methodology for these rankings in Chad’s introduction.

I’ve got notes on the top 30-ish players below and I’ll add more notes when I update the rankings next month. I’m also including Util-only players in this list since there’s no good home for them elsewhere. Let’s get into it.
| Tier | Rank | Player | Position | Projected Pts | Pts/PA | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $66-$77 | 1 | Shohei Ohtani | Util/SP | 1306.1 | 1.89 | This ranking only reflects what he does as a hitter. Tack on the $25-$30 in value he provides as a pitcher and a $100 salary for Ohtani isn’t out of the question. |
| $45-$54 | 2 | Vladimir Guerrero Jr. | 1B | 1019.7 | 1.53 | Power output has waxed and waned throughout his career, but the contact quality has always stayed elite. Even in a down power season, he was the 5th most valuable 1B in 2025. |
| $36-$44 | 3 | Nick Kurtz | 1B | 850.6 | 1.57 | Absolutely smashed the ball during his ROY award-winning campaign. Projects as the top 1B, though there’s still some risk the league will adjust to him. |
| $28-$35 | 4 | Bryce Harper | 1B | 875.6 | 1.46 | Some plate discipline yellow flags — high chase rate, low zone rate — but still has excellent contact quality. |
| $28-$35 | 5 | Freddie Freeman | 1B | 918.6 | 1.45 | Might be showing some signs of aging; strikeout rate jumped 5 points thanks to big spike in chase and whiff rates. |
| $28-$35 | 6 | Pete Alonso | 1B | 950.1 | 1.41 | Posted his best contact quality numbers of his career in 2025 and move to Camden Yards shouldn’t hurt too much. |
| $28-$35 | 7 | Rafael Devers | 1B | 917.6 | 1.38 | Struggled a bit once he joined San Francisco — strikeout rate jumped 7 points — but his contact quality remains elite. |
| $28-$35 | 8 | Matt Olson | 1B | 940.1 | 1.37 | Nice bounce back in 2025 after a down season in ’24. Plays every single day. |
| $15-$20 | 9 | Michael Busch | 1B | 758.1 | 1.34 | Followed up breakout 2024 with an even better season in ’25. Contact quality improved dramatically, though platoon split still remains wide. |
| $15-$20 | 10 | Yandy Díaz | 1B | 824.0 | 1.33 | Really took advantage of Steinbrenner Field in 2025 (.389 wOBA at home); return to Tropicana Field could hurt a bit. Fantastic plate approach gives him a high floor. |
| $15-$20 | 11 | Josh Naylor | 1B | 762.2 | 1.29 | Doesn’t have the contact quality heights of others in this tier, but solid approach at the plate gives him a high floor. |
| $15-$20 | 12 | Jonathan Aranda | 1B | 589.4 | 1.27 | Big breakout in 2025, though the .409 BABIP will certainly come down. |
| $15-$20 | 13 | Willson Contreras | 1B | 645.1 | 1.26 | Dip in walk rate a little concerning but the contact quality remained excellent. The move to Fenway Park definitely helps. |
| $15-$20 | 14 | Vinnie Pasquantino | 1B | 767.1 | 1.26 | Similar to Naylor with a touch more power — improved barrel rate by 3.7 points in 2025. |
| $6-$9 | 15 | Marcell Ozuna | Util | 765.6 | 1.34 | Contact quality dipped significantly in 2025, offset a little by 5 point increase in walk rate. |
| $6-$9 | 16 | Spencer Torkelson | 1B | 727.5 | 1.20 | Finally broke out by cutting groundball rate to second lowest in the majors. Improved plate discipline too. |
| $6-$9 | 17 | Kyle Manzardo | 1B | 591.5 | 1.19 | Up-and-down year in 2025 but took small steps forward. Increased walk rate and slightly improved contact quality. Platoon split “only” 50 points of wOBA. |
| $3-$5 | 18 | Joc Pederson | Util | 459.6 | 1.21 | Went through big swings in production in 2025 and injuries limited his playing time. DH-only plus big platoon split limits his value. |
| $3-$5 | 19 | Spencer Horwitz | 1B | 543.2 | 1.21 | Lost MI eligibility but still productive enough to be valuable at 1B. Good plate approach but poor batted ball quality holds him back. |
| $3-$5 | 20 | Jake Burger | 1B | 572.8 | 1.14 | Struggled in his first season in Texas, was demoted in May, and injured his wrist in September. Contact quality didn’t waver. |
| $3-$5 | 21 | Christian Walker | 1B | 675.1 | 1.14 | Plate discipline took a big step backward in his first year in Houston but contact quality remained solid. |
| $3-$5 | 22 | Nolan Schanuel | 1B | 642.4 | 1.13 | Great plate discipline gives him a high floor. Finally started elevating the ball in 2025 but contact quality still poor. |
| $3-$5 | 23 | Bryce Eldridge | 1B | 453.8 | 1.02 | Massive power ceiling could be held back by hit tool questions. Should have an opportunity as a full-time DH in 2026. |
| $1-$2 | 24 | Triston Casas | 1B | 335.0 | 1.24 | Coming off a major knee surgery and was really bad in 2025 before the injury. He’ll have to battle for at-bats with Contreras manning 1B. |
| $1-$2 | 25 | Pavin Smith | 1B | 383.3 | 1.12 | Strikeout rate blew past 30% in 2025 but walk rate and contact quality still good. Big platoon split limits value. |
| $1-$2 | 26 | Paul Goldschmidt | 1B | 609.4 | 1.12 | Started off strong but fell apart by June. Power evaporated and it feels like we’ve seen the last of him as a productive hitter. |
| $1-$2 | 27 | Josh Bell | 1B | 604.5 | 1.12 | Big contact quality gains in 2025 but wOBA fell well short of his xwOBA. |
| $1-$2 | 28 | Coby Mayo | 1B | 422.6 | 1.11 | Difficult path to playing time on a crowded Baltimore roster and plenty of questions about his hit tool. |
| $1-$2 | 29 | Andrew Vaughn | 1B | 578.8 | 1.08 | Turned his career around after trade to Milwaukee. Chase rate and whiff rate greatly improved during the second half of the season. Needs to prove it. |
| $0-$1 | 30 | Rhys Hoskins | 1B | 472.1 | 1.11 | |
| $0-$1 | 31 | Nathaniel Lowe | 1B | 597.8 | 1.09 | |

As we continue our race against time (gotta get these in before you need to make final cut decisions!), Jake and I will turn our attention to catcher today and tomorrow. Catcher has been a weird position the last few years. Traditionally a weak fantasy position, it has gotten a lot stronger. But every year around this time, I feel like it is deeper than ever and every September, I look back at a slew of disappointments. And yes, it is deeper than it used to be, but that doesn’t mean it is all that great.
The Ottoneu rankings push finally wraps up with a look at relief pitchers. You can find all the information about the format and methodology for these rankings in Chad’s introduction.

Chad Young’s Ottoneu Tiered Rankings for 4×4: C | 1B | MI | 3B | OF | SP | RP
Here are few more notes about my process:
Just to reiterate a point that Chad makes in his introduction: yes, these rankings are presented ordinally, but the tier a player appears in is much more important than if they’re ranked 16th or 28th. Within tiers, players are generally ranked by their projected P/IP but that doesn’t necessarily mean I think one player is significantly more valuable than another in the same tier.
Here are my general thoughts about relief pitchers in Ottoneu points and 4×4 leagues: underlying skills matter a lot more than a pitcher’s place in the bullpen pecking order. Chasing saves isn’t as important as it might be in 5×5 leagues where saves make up 20% of the pitching categories. Teams will generally use their most skilled relievers in the highest leverage situations which means if you target relievers with strong skills, saves and holds (and the bonus points associated with them in Ottoneu points leagues) will follow.
Relievers are also the most volatile part of your roster and they’re the most fungible players in the format. That means even if you invest heavily to build an elite bullpen, a team who spends $10 total on 5 or 6 relievers could outperform your team if they find the right mix of breakouts and sleepers. Be ready to churn through a bunch of relievers throughout the season as pitchers get hurt or lose their effectiveness. That process is so much easier if you’re not invested into a bunch of high priced closers.
