Welcome back to our MLB team's 2025 Underdog Best Ball Fantasy Baseball Rankings for 2025 Best Ball leagues on the Underdog Fantasy platform. For those of you who are not familiar -- Underdog Fantasy is a platform where you can play all sorts of leagues and contests, and MLB Best Ball leagues are one of their popular offerings.
As with any league or platform, it's key to understand the format and scoring rules. On the Underdog Fantasy platform, MLB best ball leagues only have three possible positions - Infield (IF), Outfield (OF), and Pitcher (P). You will see these three positions in the rankings below, next to each player's name under the "Underdog Position" column. These MLB best ball rankings by lead analyst Nick Mariano cover both hitters and pitchers and include tiers for the top 300 players. The fantasy baseball rankings are geared towards Underdog best ball leagues and scoring rules but can be used as a guide for all fantasy baseball best ball platforms and leagues.
For anyone who isn't very familiar with fantasy baseball best ball leagues, they are essentially draft-only leagues with no moves made during the season. Once a best ball draft is completed, nothing else happens throughout the year -- no setting weekly lineups, no trading, no waiver wire moves. Every week of the season, the best combo of fantasy players on your team is automatically calculated and used to determine the highest possible scoring outcome.
