Fantasy Baseball “Who To Draft” Tool

Use RotoBaller’s “Who To Draft” tool to decide between up to four players at once. Sort by Roto or Points scoring, and quickly see the suggested pick among the options you’re considering.

If you’re stuck deciding between fantasy baseball studs like Shohei Ohtani, Bobby Witt Jr., or Aaron Judge, let this powerful tool be your guide and break ties. Our “Who To Draft” Tool is based on ADP data and is powered by our consensus MLB expert staff rankings.

Making the right choice consistently among several players in the same range of the draft is critical for your race to the fantasy baseball playoffs in search of a title.

Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit Expert Rankings and Projections

Finding fantasy baseball rankings is not difficult, and checking ADPs can help your draft efforts, but RotoBaller’s expert rankings and projections will take your game to the next level.

RotoBaller rankers and projectors Nick Mariano and Ariel Cohen are two of the brightest minds in the industry with lengthy resumes of accuracy and excellence.

Selecting players in order of ADP during your draft is a popular strategy, but ADPs are based on public opinion and everyday drafters rather than expert projections and rankings you can access through our Draft Kit.

Don’t trust just anyone or any set of rankings – let our top-accuracy experts with years of proven results be in your corner!
