Check out the full series here.

Read the beginning of the catcher post for the intro to this whole thing if you don’t understand what I’m doing.


the number by the player’s name is their NFBC ADP

Tier 1

I really like the shortstops early. This is not the position to wait on. There is value, but you should be using that value for roster depth (2B/SS or bench spots) rather than your main guy.

  1. Mookie Betts 57

  2. Elly De La Cruz 8

  3. Bobby Witt Jr. 3

  4. Gunnar Henderson 13
