Updated Second Base Fantasy Baseball Rankings and Tiers for Drafts (2025)

Jose Altuve - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, Draft Sleepers

Updated 2B fantasy baseball rankings and tiers for H2H points leagues, updated for March 2025. Win your drafts with our second base points league rankings.

Opening Day is around the corner, and there is only a short amount of time left in the fantasy baseball draft season. With there being a high demand for fantasy baseball points content, we are back with more points rankings. Today, we review our MLB team's updated fantasy baseball second base rankings and tiers for points leagues and H2H points leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks second baseman Ketel Marte and Los Angeles Dodgers infielder/outfielder Mookie Betts lead the way as our MLB's top-ranked second basemen. Second base has some upside picks and reliable veterans such as Houston Astros Jose Altuve. The 34-year-old will be shifting to the outfield in 2025 and will pick up dual eligibility at 2B/OF. Altuve is the top-five in our latest 2B rankings after slashing .295/.350/.439 with 20 home runs and 22 steals over 153 games.

The 2B rankings below are specifically designed for points leagues, put together by RotoBaller's MLB points expert Nicklaus Gaut. We also have many other fantasy baseball rankings, tools, and resources to help you win in 2025, including our constantly-updated fantasy baseball points rankings for all positions. Be sure to also download our free fantasy baseball mobile app so you can stay on top of all the MLB news and analysis articles.

Second Base Rankings for Points Leagues (March)

These first base rankings are for points and head-to-head points leagues. You can also see our roto fantasy baseball rankings.

Before we get to the rankings, let's quickly review points leagues and how they differ from other formats. Typically, points leagues have different league settings and scoring formats than other fantasy baseball leagues. Different MLB stats and categories are assigned different point values, and those can vary by individual league settings. Those different point buckets are then added up over the course of a scoring period or season.

In many cases, hitters who walk more and strike out less are preferred for points leagues. Also, many league formats tend to give more weight to pitchers than normal, as they can easily accrue points through categories like Innings Pitched. These are the general frameworks that we use for our points league rankings below, and explain why they look different than more standard 5x5 roto fantasy baseball rankings.
