2019 RotoBaller MLB Challenge - And The RT Sports Winner Is...

What a season, RotoBallers. Fantasy baseball is always a fun, interesting, and long season - filled with injuries, breakout players, and different strategies. It takes stamina and endurance to win the six month marathon, and we're here today to recognize those who pulled it off.

With 132 teams competing to be crowned champ of the 2019 Fantasy Baseball RotoBaller Challenge on RT Sports (and to have their bank account padded a bit more), only one prevailed. Below is the final update, showing the leaders through the end of the season.

In case you missed it, the RotoBaller Challenge is a fantasy baseball tournament with lots of prizes, powered by RT Sports and Fantrax. In 2020 we will expand the tournament even further - stay tuned for details throughout the MLB off-season.

 

Who Has Been Crowned Champ?

?? And the RT Sports winner is... Bat Flipping You Off ??

A big congrats from everyone at RotoBaller and RT Sports!

In addition to winning the $500 cash grand prize, and a full year of RotoBaller's Premium Pass ($99 value), you now get to carry the ultimate prize - you are THE champ of the RT Sports RotoBaller Challenge, and get to carry bragging rights throughout the entire off-season.

This was no easy feat, as 132 teams competed for the gold, and you defeated all of them. You are a true RotoBaller!

Among the many draft picks and waiver wire additions made, the main studs leading you to glory were Christian Yelich, Alex Bregman, Cody Bellinger, Gary Sanchez, Austin Meadows, Pete Alonso, Shane Bieber, Jose Berrios and Mike Soroka. Here was the original draft roster, and the final winning roster:
