2022 RotoBaller MLB Challenge - And The @Fantrax Winner Is...

justin verlander fantasy baseball rankings pitchers draft sleepers MLB injury news

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 348 teams competing to be crowned champ of the 2022 Fantasy Baseball RotoBaller Challenge on Fantrax (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 yearly fantasy baseball tournament run by yours truly - all free to enter, with lots of fun prizes.

 

Who Has Been Crowned Champ?

🏆🏆 And the winner is... @Norton0723 !!! 🏆🏆

A big congrats from everyone at RotoBaller and Fantrax!

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 2022 Fantrax RotoBaller Challenge, and get to carry bragging rights throughout the entire off-season.

This was no easy feat, as 348 teams competed for the gold, and you defeated all of them. You are a true RotoBaller!

Among the many draft picks and waiver wire moves made, the main studs leading you to glory were Shohei Ohtani, Justin Verlander, Freddie Freeman, Byron Buxton, Dansby Swanson, Brandon Drury, Jon Berti, Nestor Cortes, Carlos Rodon and George Kirby . Here was the original draft roster, and the final roster, with many waiver wire add/drops made in between:
