The month of May has brought us a steady trickle of exciting prospect promotions, and hopefully, June will be no different. While we saw Marcelo Mayer make his debut in Boston over the weekend, we're still waiting for Roman Anthony to get the call. We also have three of my top five pitching prospects dominating […]

In the blink of an eye, we're already near the end of the second month. The fantasy season is 1/3 over for those of you in roto leagues and more than 1/3 over if you're in a head-to-head league. Don't wait too long to make the necessary moves in your leagues, or you'll dig yourself […]

What a week it was for prospect promotions! In addition to Jordan Lawlar and Zebby Matthews being recalled, we saw the Major League debuts for Moises Ballesteros, Dalton Rushing, and Mick Abel, who tossed six shutout innings with nine strikeouts on Sunday. It appears that several other big prospect names are getting close, too, so […]

The first quarter of the season is in the books, and rankings are already in flux. The first couple of updates to my prospect and dynasty rankings each season are always exciting; we have new data to comb through and breakouts to analyze. Now that we're in the middle of May, the data samples are […]

It's already the middle of May, and the 2025 Fantasy Baseball season is more than 25% done. This is the point of the season where you should have a good idea of where your team's strengths and weaknesses are and where you need to be looking on the waiver wire to improve in the areas […]

The first in-season prospect rankings update might be my favorite one of the season. Why? Well, we have new stats, data, and video to comb through along with new batches of breakout prospects. These MLB prospect rankings are geared toward standard 5x5 fantasy baseball leagues (AVG) and consider many factors, including performance to date, scouting […]

It's been a fun few days in the prospect promotion world as we had Cade Horton make his debut over the weekend, Chase Petty get recalled to take the spot of the injured Hunter Greene, and we finished the weekend with the report of Jordan Lawlar getting recalled by the Diamondbacks. There are still plenty […]

Another week of fantasy baseball has flown by, and we're now at the 1/4 mark of the Major League Baseball season. This has been a weird start to the Major League season with many top players struggling along with our usual plethora of injuries. I'm sure most of you reading this are looking for a […]

The calendar has flipped over to May and the prospect promotions have continued to be consistent. Over the last week, we had Coby Mayo get recalled by Baltimore, and the Dodgers called up Hyeseong Kim with Tommy Edman landing on the IL. We should also receive plenty of additional prospect promotions in the coming weeks, […]

The first month of the season is in the rear-view mirror, and we're already getting close to the 1/4 mark of the Major League season. It's hard to believe that over 30 games are in the books, but the Major League season always seems to come at us quicker than we want it to, and […]

The first month of the Major League season is in the books, and we've already received plenty of notable prospect promotions.

As we head into the last week of April, the Prospect Promotion Incentive deadline has passed, and the next notable date is the Super-2 threshold, which is expected to be on May 9. That's not to say we won't see prospect promotions happen between now and then, but it might be a couple of weeks […]

The early part of the Major League season is always one of the most exciting and chaotic times of the season. We receive a plethora of new data and metrics to sort through, along with breakouts galore, which has been the case so far this season. Which pitchers added new pitches? Who is throwing harder? […]

We're already nearing the end of April, and the Major League season is charging hard into its fourth week. We're still seeing plenty of notable names struggle and surprising names emerge with hot starts. Some of those names are below in this week's editions of my waiver wire recommendations here on RotoBaller. The players below […]

Another week has gone by, and we're already over two weeks into the Major League season.

With Low-A, High-A, and Double-A starting this past Friday, we now have all four minor league levels in full swing as thousands of players aim to become fantasy-relevant players.

We're barely a week into the 2025 season, but it's never too early to improve your fantasy rosters. I'm sure many of you reading this already have an injured player or two you're looking to replace or a late-round pick off to a slow start who could easily be replaced on your roster. The players […]

Welcome to my updated fantasy baseball dynasty rankings for April and the 2025 season. We're only a week into the regular season and chaos has already unfolded.

Welcome back to another season of discussing fantasy baseball prospects to stash in redraft leagues. Prospects can make or break your fantasy baseball season depending on how much you invest in them, so it's important to approach them the right away in your 2025 fantasy leagues. That's exactly what I'm going to try and assist […]

We're only a few days into the 2025 regular season, but fantasy leagues are already chaotic. Injuries are popping up left and right, which is causing managers to rush to the waiver wire to add replacements or add a player off to a hot start. This week's waiver wire report is a good one for […]

In the wise words of Pepper Brooks in Dodgeball, "That's a bold fantasy baseball projection, Cotton; let's see if it pays off for 'em." Okay, Jason Bateman used the word strategy instead of "fantasy baseball projection" but you get the point. As the 2025 domestic opening day inches closer, it's time to have some fun […]

We even have two members of last year's draft class […]
