Hitter List 4/19: Top 150 Hitters – Week 3 Fantasy Baseball 2023

Hey all, welcome to the Hitter List! Before we begin, I am Dave Swan and I’ll be filling in for the man, the myth, and the legend of two adorable newborns, Scott Chu. Even though Scott is away, I vow to keep similar virtues and uphold the criteria. Although, fear not…there will be changes.

The season is only embarking on its third week, and many factors will play a role in determining the list. Some of those factors include injuries, lineup shuffling, breakouts, and slumps. Heck, many teams don’t have six or fewer players with the minimum number of plate appearances required to be considered “qualified”.

So, what’s that mean? Plenty of stats haven’t hit a point of stabilization. Furthermore, we’ll try to block out the variance. In other words, as a general rule, I’m trying to avoid taking too much meaning from the stats themselves.

Let’s get some basics out of the way in terms of how to interpret these rankings. None of this stuff should come as any major surprise, but it never hurts to provide background:

I would recommend not paying super close attention to the specific ranks of each player, and honing in more on the respective tiers that they’re in. Each tier represents a grouping of players that I think could arguably perform at a similar level, and/or carry similar levels of risk in terms of injury concerns or playing time obstacles. If Player X is ranked at #55 and Player Y is ranked at #65, but they’re in the same tier, it means that I personally like Player X a lot better, but think there’s a valid argument to be made for Player Y performing just as well.

I take rankings like this as more of an art than a science. Every person’s rankings are influenced by their own biases, strategic philosophies, determinations of risk, and projections. It’s why no two rankings are ever exactly alike. Jon’s way of evaluating and ranking players has worked out well for Jon (and me) over the years, but it might not be a great fit for you. I can’t possibly predict your team’s specific needs, your league mate’s player evaluations, or your current waiver wire, and if I could it’d be weird. In a bad way.

Yes, these ranks vary from the official PL positional rankings that I also developed in the off-season. That’s because these are only mine – no input from others. This is a safe space for me where I answer to no one but myself…and you if you leave a comment.

I’m doing my best to use 5 starts or 10 appearances as the threshold for positional eligibility. I have not included presumed eligibilities based on likely new positions, but once those eligibilities are earned I’ll add them in. This is just a maintenance thing and we will update eligibility throughout the season. Feel free to let me know if I’m missing any!

To keep things in the same ilk, here’s a couple of notes on how Scott (and myself) generally evaluate hitters before we dive in:

I’ve gotten more level-headed over the years regarding weighing stolen bases, but I still think they’re precious given how rare they’re becoming. Every steal is important, so don’t take those “chip-in” steals for granted. Finding steals at the end of the season can be a dogfight.
If I did want to get some insight on whether what I’m seeing is new or if it’s just normal fluctuation, I’d use my favorite tool—the rolling chart. Our PL Pro members can use the tools in the Hub, which I’ll also reference as appropriate.

No stat is an island and they should all be taken in proper context. For ranking purposes, the primary starting points I use are plate discipline, wRC+, quality of contact metrics (also known as Statcast batted ball data), lineup context, and the skills we can measure using the tools in our PL Pro Tools Hub. I also use various projections (some free, some I buy) and dollar value generators. Unlike Nick, I’ll also look at other rankings as I prepare my own to feel how my colleagues value certain players, positions, or stats. I recommend trying as many of these things as you can until you find what you like.
Positional eligibility, and specifically multi-eligibility, is neat but also isn’t a huge factor in many 10- and 12-team leagues anymore due to the prevalence of multi-eligible players. It’s of more value in deeper contests like the NFBC, or in leagues with limited roster moves (draft and hold leagues, transaction limits/costs, extremely short benches, etc.), but even then the value is fairly situational and context-dependent.

On a similar note, I don’t penalize players for only qualifying in the utility slot. At most, it is a mild inconvenience if a DH-only player is available at a great value and you already have filled your utility spots.
Anyone talented enough to make it to the big leagues can be brilliant or putrid for 50 at-bats regardless of true talent. Heck, it could even last a month with no change in potential or skill. It also could be wildly meaningful. We can’t and don’t know which of these will be true until it’s over, though track record, scouting, and trends give us hints.
If you’d like input on a player or have any feedback, your best bet is to reach out to me on Twitter (@davithius) or in the comments!

Ranking Notes

Check out the Hacks & Jacks podcast featuring Scott Chu and Joe Gallina, which also happened to be a finalist for Best Baseball Podcast of 2021 by the Fantasy Sports Writers Association (FSWA)!

Point blank, Juan Soto has been dreadful since joining the Padres. Furthermore, in his 243 PAs with the club, he’s only hit nine HRs and is currently batting under two hundred. He’s elite, no doubt. But we’ve got to start dinging him on the rankings. Still in the second tier, but fading slowly.

Also getting dinged for poor performance is Manny Machado. With only six Runs and seven RBI on the season, it wouldn’t hurt if Manny decided to put a few more over the fence. Some signs are there as his power indicators look good (max exit velocity and barrel%). Like Soto, there is time for him to refine the approach but til then he moves down.

Fernando Tatis Jr. is mashing in the Minor Leagues. He’ll end his suspension on Thursday and ascend up the ranks soon.

TIER 3

This tier doesn’t get much movement, but Jazz Chisholm Jr. dances into #29. Unfortunately, only in short bursts, has Jazz made sweet music. On a per-plate appearance basis, he fills stat sheets like no other. Projections could put him at a 20 HR/30 SB pace and he’s the type of player that could exceed such lofty expectations. Also, absolutely a blast to watch!

The only concern from Luis Robert Jr. has been his lack of consistency in staying on the field. Although, when on the field he’s been a dynamo. The power is unlocked(.296 ISO), and he’s elevating the ball more(46% flyball rate). Yet, in a run environment overloaded with SB, he’s got none. He’s healthy (for now) and on the field producing, so he jumps up a tier.

Will Smith is still appearing on the 7-day IL and there are rumors he won’t be off Thursday. When it comes to concussion injuries, it’s best to be cautious. Conversely, he swings to the end of the early C1 tier. However, he’s destined to go back up. Among all catchers, it’s hard to see past how consistent he has become.

TIER 5

The Wander Franco breakout might finally be here. No doubt, we’ve heard his jeers coming a mile away, but this year has been different. If a pitcher is pumping pitches in the zone, he’s making contact (93.5% z-contact). What’s it lead to? Well, a .300/.348/.586 slash line.

On the heels of Franco, Xander Bogaerts isn’t having trouble adjusting to his new squad. If you scroll through his game logs, you’ll notice he’s collected at least one hit in every game, except one. And in that game, he still scored two runs because he’s been more patient than usual and walking.

Matt Chapman soars up the ranks and for good measure. He’s already got 15 barrels and racked up 28 Runs+RBI. Furthermore, his 41.2% IPA% is 7th best in the MLB. Basically, he’s crushing the ball, only striking out at a 22% clip which is far lower than his career norms. If he can keep this up, we might be looking at an MVP season.

Michael Harris II tumbles 30 spots. Coming into 2023, I wasn’t worried about his ability to put up a 20/20 season, but more so that regression could be coming. Unfortunately, we haven’t seen enough to decide. He gets his big drop from the injury, which he should be back from. Back injuries are tricky.

Christian Walker’s batting average is south of the Mendoza Line. And while that made me want to drop him down, he’s actually only striking out 18% of the time. Either way, he’s likely going to submarine your batting average and continue to put balls over the fence. Let’s let him stay for this week.

TIER 8

Ryan Mountcastle went ham this week and provided his fanbase with a nine (yes, NINE!) RBI game. Last year, Mountcastle led all 1B in barrels…and what do you know, he’s doing it again. Maybe #70 is too low?

José Abreu is off to a cold start. In a home park that you’d want to pull, Abreu has put more into the opposite field (puzzling). Could be a small sample but he could also be in for an explosion of power when that adjusts.

Jeremy Peña drops down the batting order. Not good for his counting stats but he’s been better since.

Andrew Vaughn is yet to hit an HR but a 33% HC% and sub-20% K-rate suggest he will put up a great batting average. Just hit more flyballs and the dingers will follow.

Willson Contreras‘ production hasn’t been there, but the underlying metrics suggest more will come (and a 2 HR game last night helps). Hang in there and don’t make any drastic moves.

Seiya Suzuki returned with a bang and put one out in his season debut. Since then, he’s made it in the lineup every chance possible, so it’s safe to assume the oblique is a thing of the past.

Jorge Polanco is playing in rehab games and should be nearing a return. Until then, he stays at the bottom of the tier.

Fellow Cubs outfielder Ian Happ signed an extension. He leaps up a few spots, behind Ty France. Happ has been an OBP machine and uses his power/speed combination to perform in many ways.

Lars Nootbaar is back and looks healthy. The outfield is crowded but he immediately came back with an early lineup spot.
Sean Murphy is turning it on as he gets more playing time. Unfortunately, Travid d’Arnaud will return soon.

Tim Anderson drops WAY down due to injury. He’ll be out til early May or so. Additionally, it’s a knee injury and that could limit his SB upside.

TIER 12

Alex Verdugo gets the leadoff spot vs. RHP. The Red Sox just finished an onslaught of southpaws. Expect Verdugo to get lots more ABs.

Joey Meneses doesn’t have the same mojo. He’s only DHing and not even hitting at a replacement level. He could lose swings at the dish very soon.

If you’re looking for SBs, Jorge Mateo will aid in that department. With three HRs and striking out at a 17% clip, he should be on every team

J.D. Martinez is batting in the middle of the lineup vs. LHP and RHP.

TIER 14

Bryson Stott grabbing some leadoff ABs is extremely helpful at a position with injuries mounting up.

Speaking of injuries, Bryce Harper is taking reps at 1B? That could be very interesting. However, he’s not coming back very soon.

Just when Michael Conforto was getting back, he was sidelined with a calf issue. It’s a shame because he’s been productive and appeared not to show many signs of rust after a lost 2022.

Javier Báez is lost on the field and lost at the plate. Should his recent play continue, I don’t know if he’ll be in the top 150. The strikeouts are gone but the power is too.

TIER 15

A lot of fresh faces here, the craziest one being Patrick Wisdom. He’s mashing HRs at an alarming rate and keeping the Ks down. It’s early, so be cautious.

Brett Baty and Anthony Volpe sit in this tier. The talent is off the chart and they simply need more seasoning before moving up. Until we see more, they’re only a stash.

On the other side of the age spectrum, Andrew McCutchen is showing he can still play ball. Fewer ground balls and more walks are aiding a hot start.

Mitch Haniger didn’t come back as soon as expected but there is a shot he returns by the weekend. Let’s see how he performs before boosting him up the ranks.

And here’s the Taxi Squad, presented in no particular order:

Taxi Squad

Hitter	Position	Team	Comment
Akil Baddoo	OF	DET	I’ll be honest, Scott only let me do the Hitter List if I kept Akil Baddoo in it.
Brandon Marsh	OF	PHI	Did Kevin Long unlock a new Marsh? We’ll see if it keeps up.
Edouard Julien	2B	MIN	Could get some run while MIN gets healthy. Led off in a small sample.
Kerry Carpenter	OF	DET	Tons of power here and getting playing time.
Zach Neto	SS	LAD	Could stick around all year and the SS position is thinning out quickly.
Josh Lowe	OF	TBR	Will get plenty of run with Siri on the shelf. Making the most of his opportunity too.
Edward Olivares	OF	KCR	Kansas City only values him as a 4th OF option.
Jurickson Profar	OF	COL	Leadoff hitter in Coors Field is worth something.
Whit Merrifield	2B/OF	TOR	Splits time between 2B and OF, but still doesn’t play everyday.
CJ Abrams	2B/SS	WSH	Making contact is good, but batting at the bottom of the order is not.
Danny Jansen	C	TOR	Not playing as much as many hoped.
Jonah Heim	C	TEX	Creeping up the batting order and hitting for some power
Franchy Cordero	OF	NYY	Coming off a hot week but sits
Ryan McMahon	2B/3B	COL	Strikeout rate is scary.
Trent Grisham	OF	SDP	Now that no one is saying this is the year, does it mean this is actually the year?
Justin Turner	3B	BOS	I expect a repeat of 2022, which is fine I guess.
Francisco Álvarez	C	NYM	Haven’t seen enough to push him up.
Keibert Ruiz	C	WAS	Contact skills are real.
Alec Burleson	STL	OF	Might be stuck in a platoon, could lose even more time with Nootbaar back.
Jon Berti	2B/3B/SS/OF	MIA	He’ll be worth streaming for steals on occasion but otherwise should be on the wire.
Alek Thomas	OF	ARZ	There’s still upside here, but it’s a crowded roster.
David Villar	3B	SFG	Will get second base eligibility soon in some formats, which is nice I guess.
Michael Massey	2B	KCR	Hitting the ball pretty hard, but not much to show for it.
Manuel Margot	OF	TBR	Power and speed are present, but injuries are a regular occurrence.
Gio Urshela	3B	LAA	Might be winning a full-time gig.
Luke Raley	OF	TBR	Keeps playing and batting in the middle of the order.
Alex Call	OF	WAS	Took over the leadoff role and takes plenty of walks.
Rodolfo Castro	2B/SS	PIT	Could see regular playing time with Cruz on the IL.
Brice Turang	2B/SS	MIL	Looks to be on the large side of a platoon right now, quieting down after hot start.
Trevor Story	2B	BOS	He’ll be ranked between 50 and 75 when he’s back on the field.
Jose Altuve	2B	HOU	Get well soon, sweet prince.
Travis d’Arnaud	C	ATL	On the IL with a concussion, hopefully back soon.
Oneil Cruz	SS	PIT	This really stinks. See you in August (hopefully), Oneil.
DJ LeMahieu	1B/2B/3B	NYY	The elevated strikeouts are very strange and disturbing for a guy who has never really struck out much.
Jose Siri	OF	TBR	Hits for power and steals bases, though injuries have been an issue.

I understand Scott Chu is still out and not wanted to upset things too much but this still feels very conservative after three weeks of the season. Spencer Torkleson and Jose Miranda both got bumps? They’ve been pretty awful thus far, so has Yoshida for the Sox. His statcast data has been….horrendous to say the least (excluding K and BB rates). I was also hoping to see some bigger movement from Yandy Diaz who has doubled his career launch angle and just hit his 6th HR today (back to back days). His strong plate approach and well documented hard hit metrics seem to be going unnoticed in the community. Yandy didn’t hit his 6th HR last year until August 9th. It’s looking like the invisible breakout.

  I don’t speak for Dave, but Tork is looking a lot better the last few days and the upside is very real. Miranda isn’t showing us anjy power yet but is making plenty of contact without strikeouts.
  
  Also, as a general note, unless a player moved more than 5 spaces (especially towards the back of the list), the shift up or down is likely a product of addition or attrition of other players to the list, not a specific movement for that player. A +2 for Tork right now suggests treading water while 2 players (or at least a net of 2 total players) above him fell off due to injury or role change or something.

    I’m watching Yandy VERY closely, though. We don’t have enough data to feel especially strong about fly ball rates yet, but 49.1% is a HUGE change for a guy who is usually just burying the ball into the ground.
    
    Yandy showed a fly ball spike like this in 2021 but it didn’t last long. If he can keep up a 40%+ fly ball rate for another 2-3 weeks, he’ll be flying up the list.

Great List! Q: Is Vaughn Grissom close?

- Scott Chu says:
  
  April 20, 2023 at 11:53 AM
  
  The Taxi Squad and the last tier are really tough to separate. He could easily be in that tier or the Taxi Squad.
  
John-Mike says:

April 19, 2023 at 7:41 PM

Is Vaughn Grissom absence a clerical error? Or did his mlb call up get him booted off the taxi squad?

- Scott Chu says:
  
  April 20, 2023 at 11:59 AM
  
  You can consider him a taxi squad guy. The small sample of plate discipline is nice, as Grissom really struggled with Ks at the end of 2022. He’s picked up SS eligibility, which is nice. The big question will be what happens when Arcia returns.
  
  - John-Mike says:
    
    April 20, 2023 at 1:43 PM
    
    Phew! Had to make the call, loaded at MI so I dropped him for Taj. My gosh Chu take a break lol. Congrats! Take care of your growing fam. You da man! Good luck and lots of love for you and yours
    (Father of two myself, but i did it one at a time;)

SBs and a high OBP are still valuable. says:

You’re missing Esteury Ruiz!

- SBs and a high OBP are still valuable. says:
  
  April 19, 2023 at 11:10 PM
  
  And if you’re not missing him, his savant has really improved, the A’s should let him run wild (even half his SB pace from the minors would be great) and his walk % should rise with how much he walked in the minors.
  
  - Scott Chu says:
    
    April 20, 2023 at 12:04 PM
    
    I’d argue Ruiz still a really niche player, even when he’s hot. Leading off is cool, but only 1 XBH in his last 54 PA is a concern, and that OBP is entirely batted ball driven – just 1 walk in those last 54 PA.
    
    I’d want to see that he’s not just Billy Hamilton, who was always better in theory than reality. Step 1 is keeping those Ks down and maybe taking some walks (his triple-A numbers in 2022 were what got people excited).

      May 14, 2023 at 11:26 PM
      
      Hey Scott, just read your reply now, thanks for the nice reply by the way, it’s appreciated!!
      
      Good to see Esteury figuring things out so far. I actually traded him away a while back, so I’ll be appreciating him from afar. Was able to make a deal of Esteury, Starling Marte, and DeSclafani for the fragile question mark in Carlos Rodon last month.
      
      With how nice Esteury’s gap power swing was in his 2022 minors highlight videos, I would’ve been shocked if he didn’t start to figure it out on the A’s! You rarely see such a skilled base stealer have the potentially patient batting eye and enough gap power potential that he does. Here’s to hoping that he ends up being a lovely 40-60 SB guy this season with 5-10 HR!
      
      And his OBP was not entirely batted ball driven before I made my comment, by the way. He was getting hit by an unusually high amount of pitches back then. So surely at least some of those HBP would’ve been walks instead. Right now he has the AL lead at 9 HBP.

I Need movement at a position, am I Unwise to leave Eloy on the wire? I really need steals and currently Santander and Jeff McNeil are the end of my bench. Also considering Edman who you have high up, my co-manager likes him as well.

In roto is it okay to have just a one category guy, considering straw for steals

Yandy Diaz at 98 ? His launch angle is up from 7 degrees last year to 14 degrees this year. He made massive strides last year in terms of quality contact. He just drove the ball into the ground. If this is a swing change and not just noise Yandy is going to be a top 25 hitter this year.

You heard it here first

Has there been any discussion about adding a way to filter position on the website? For example I want to see your Catcher rankings. Right now I have to copy and paste the list into excel and filter for “C”. Think it would be a cool feature to add to simplify it
