Nick Mariano's updated fantasy baseball starting pitcher rankings for Week 9 (2022). Baller Ranks is a weekly rankings list for the top 101 starting pitchers.
Batten down the hatches and prepare yourself for summertime humidor action across the diamond, RotoBallers! Yes, we are in the thick of June and another week brings an updated edition of my top-101 starting pitcher rankings -looking at rest-of-season values. Once again, I've got you covered with ranks, tiers, trends, and notes with the top-101 in a table with other fun things like earned value via Fangraphs. It's time for another edition of my weekly Starting Pitcher Baller Ranks!
This google sheet accompanies the table below and adds relevant 5x5 stats, K%, BB%, BABIP, FIP, xFIP, SIERA, ERA-FIP, and CSW% from 2022. Do note that I leave off injured players, but next week I'll throw in an update regarding where they'd slot in. I highly encourage you to click the sheet.
As is tradition, these fantasy baseball starting pitcher rankings are geared toward traditional 5x5 leagues. I don't have a ton of time this week as I bid my day job adieu, so you'll have to settle for the table with some notes, but from next week onward, I will be 100% RotoBallin' and I'm thrilled about it. Without further ado, here's my top-101 SP for the rest of 2022!
