Updated Shortstop Fantasy Baseball Rankings and Tiers for Drafts (2025)

Corey Seager - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Injury News, DFS Lineup Picks

Updated SS fantasy baseball rankings and tiers for H2H points leagues, updated for March 2025. Win your drafts with our shortstop points league rankings.

Shortstop is one of the most loaded positions heading into fantasy baseball drafts. It's one of the few positions you can afford to wait toward the middle or late rounds before drafting their starter. At RotoBaller HQ, we guide you through all the SS tiers with our MLB team's updated fantasy baseball shortstop rankings and tiers for points leagues and H2H points leagues.

Bobby Witt Jr. leads the way as RotoBaller's top-ranked shortstop. The position has a plethora of talent, as 15 of the top 100 players overall are a shortstop. Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager is rounding into form this spring, slashing .250/.400/.550 with three home runs, 11 RBI, and nine runs over 40 at-bats. The 30-year-old has had trouble staying healthy the past few years but has managed to hit 30-plus home runs in three straight seasons.

The SS 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.

Shortstop 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.
