Every week during the season, we are releasing a list of the best batters in fantasy baseball that’s designed to be similar to Nick’s list of Top 100 Starting Pitchers that comes out each Monday. Our objective is to give you the most current rankings of who we see as being the top 150 hitters league-wide for the rest of the season. They take into account expectations going into the season and production to this point—as well as recurring trends and streaks—as a way of analytically extrapolating who will bring you the most fantasy dividends throughout the year. Use these rankings to help understand what to expect from batters for all of 2017 and as a tool to gauge trade value in your fantasy leagues.
This is the first list in two weeks, since the All-Star break made it such that there wasn't enough gameplay prior to last Tuesday to necessitate significant changes or analysis in a new rankings. Because there is 10 days' worth of information to process now, some big changes have been made. Read on below the table for some clarifying notes.
