Tier 1
1) (3) Juan Soto WASH, OF, 23.7 – Not dropping his ranking at all yet. Underlying numbers are still elite
2) (2) Ronald Acuna Jr. ATL, OF, 24.5
3) (8) Yordan Alvarez HOU, OF, 24.10 – Yordan and Vlad are made for this type of format where speed is devalued. I can see going with them even over Acuna depending on the specific rules
4) (1) Shohei Ohtani LAA, RHP/DH, 27.11
5) (9) Vladimir Guerrero Jr. TOR, 1B, 23.2
6) (4) Kyle Tucker HOU, OF, 25.4
7) (5) Fernando Tatis Jr. SD, SS, 23.5
8) (16) Mike Trout LAA, OF, 30.9 – So good that I think he deserves to be in Tier 1 in these kinds of formats despite the fact he is 30
9) (18) Rafael Devers BOS, 3B, 25.6 – Low walk rates are the only thing keeping me from ranking him even higher
10) (21) Aaron Judge NYY, OF, 30.0 -.465 xwOBA is 2nd to only Yordan
11) (11) Jose Ramirez CLE, 3B, 29.6
12) (15) Bryce Harper PHI, OF, 29.5 – UCL thing is still in the back of my mind even though it doesn’t look to be affecting him much
Tier 2
13) (24) Pete Alonso NYM, 1B, 27.5
14) (31) Austin Riley ATL, 3B, 25.1
15) (14) Wander Franco TBR, SS, 21.3 – He’s a great long term 5×5 fantasy asset, but he’s even better in a format that rewards good real life hitters
16) (6) Julio Rodriguez SEA, OF, 21.4 – Julio and Witt take a hit in these rankings because they have not established themselves as elite hitters yet and their stolen bases don’t make as much of an impact.
17) (7) Bobby Witt Jr. KC, SS, 21.10
Shadow17) (16) Shohei Ohtani LAA, DH only/Weekly Leagues, 27.9
18) (10) Trea Turner LAD, SS, 28.10
19) (19) Corbin Burnes MIL, RHP, 27.6
20) (20) Shane McClanahan TBR, LHP, 25.0
21) (32) Matt Olson ATL, 1B, 28.1
22) (12) Bo Bichette TOR, SS, 24.3
23) (13) Luis Robert CHW, OF, 24.10
24) (22) Manny Machado SD, 3B, 29.10
25) (17) Mookie Betts LAD, OF, 29.6 – On the IL with a cracked rib but they are hopeful he can return in a couple of weeks. There is definitely risk this could hurt his production when he returns
26) (44) Corey Seager TEX, SS, 28.0
