Ranking the top 374 players for 2020 fantasy baseball

Welcome to the 2020 MLB season! It’s here? Well, a version of baseball is hopefully here for 60 regular season games. There’s still a month to go until the first games are played which is plenty of time for the earth to be taken over by the Mole People. But, we will continue to act like baseball and more importantly, fantasy baseball will happen.

A 60-game season with players possibly missing time due to being quarantined, could be a huge dumpster barge fire. But here at DraftKings Nation, we are the positive, happy people, so let’s do this thing!

The usual suspects are up at the top, with Ronald Acuna Jr., Mike Trout and Christian Yelich making up the top tier. You can’t go wrong with any of those three.

The next tier starts with Cody Bellinger, who has the power upside to be in the first tier, but his floor is just a little lower than top tier. But this tier is packed with Mookie Betts, Francisco Lindor and Trevor Story and I wouldn’t berate anyone for grabbing one of those four players at fourth overall.

You’ll likely see starting pitchers ranked a bit higher than I have them here. For the most part I’d rather wait a little longer on pitchers than others, but I do still have Gerrit Cole at tenth overall and would grab him if he fell from his ADP of 5th overall. I’d rather have well rounded top-tier hitters who can contribute in multiple categories before I draft a pitcher.
