Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft (10-Team, Roto)
Check out our latest fantasy baseball mock draft, this one for a 10-team roto league.
1.03: Bobby Witt Jr. (3B – KC)
Bobby Witt Jr. has been a fantasy star since he stepped into the league. He’s never had fewer than 20 homers or 30 steals. Last season he set a career-high in runs (125), RBI (109), home runs (31) and batting average (.332).
2.08: Yordan Alvarez (OF – HOU)
Yordan Alvarez played in a career-high 147 games last season. He put up 35 homers with a .308 average but failed to reach 90 RBI for the first time since 2020. His 86 RBI were still impactful, but I expect him to be closer to 100 again in 2025.
3.03: Rafael Devers (3B – BOS)
Rafael Devers’ strikeout rate jumped 5% last season from the previous season. However, he still hit the ball as hard as anyone and increased his walk rate for the second straight year.
Devers has hit 30+ home runs in alternating seasons since 2019. With only 28 homers in 2024, let’s hope the pattern holds.
4.08: William Contreras (C – MIL)
William Contreras was by far the best at the position last year, leading the way with 679 plate appearances in 155 games. To go along with the volume, he added a .281 average and nine steals, good for second-best and best at the position, respectively.
5.03: George Kirby (SP -SEA)
George Kirby has been a model of consistency over the past two seasons. He’s pitched over 190 innings with a mid-3.00s ERA and a good WHIP. He does, however, leave you wanting more strikeouts from your SP1.
6.08: Teoscar Hernandez (OF – LAD)
Teoscar Hernandez re-signed with the Los Angeles Dodgers and their loaded lineup. He’s currently projected to bat fourth and should have similar numbers to what put up last year.
Hernandez’s 33 homers were a career-high and his 99 RBI were his most since 2021 with the Toronto Blue Jays.
7.03: Framber Valdez (SP – HOU)
Framber Valdez is coming off a stellar season where he compiled a 2.91 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 28 starts. Like Kirby, Valdez has been a reliable source of ERA over the past few years.
Pairing these two together to lead my pitching staff digs a bit of a hole in strikeouts, though.
8.08: Ryan Helsley (RP – STL)
Ryan Helsley led all of baseball last year with 49 saves. Since 2022, his ERA sits at 1.83 in 167.2 innings pitched. It’s valid to wonder how many games the St. Louis Cardinals will win, but he should get the majority of their chances.
9.03: Tyler Glasnow (SP – LAD)
Tyler Glasnow pitched a career-high 134 innings in his first season with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The strikeout upside is massive and would be a great help to this rotation. However, an injured list (IL) stint should be baked into his draft value.
10.08: Bryan Reynolds (OF – PIT)
Bryan Reynolds is a pretty boring pick. He’s not elite at anything, but he is pretty good at everything. You can pretty much pencil him in for 75 runs, 25 home runs, 85 RBI, 10 steals and a .275 batting average.
11.03: Tanner Bibee (SP – CLE)
Tanner Bibee looked great last year with a 3.47 ERA and 187 strikeouts across 31 starts. He does tend to give up a lot of fly balls, but as long as he continues to keep his walks in check (6.2% walk rate), he should be solid.
12.08: Christian Yelich (OF – MIL)
Christian Yelich was having a great season before a back injury sidelined him in 2024. He had two different IL stints with the same back injury.
The IL stints limited him to just 73 games. He batted .315 with 11 homers and 21 steals in those 73 games. Hopefully, Yelich can put this injury behind him and pick up where he left off.
13.03: Vinnie Pasquantino (1B – KC)
Vinnie Pasquantino put up 19 homers and 97 RBI a year ago. His strikeout rate is elite and he hits the ball with authority. He should continue to see plenty of run-scoring opportunities. However, the runs scored may be lacking.
14.08: Dylan Crews (OF – WSH)
Dylan Crews made his debut for the Washington Nationals last year appearing in 31 games. He impressed with 12 steals but underwhelmed in batting average and power. The pedigree is there and the Nationals have some exciting pieces.
15.03: Lucas Erceg (RP – KC)
Lucas Erceg was solid last year racking up 14 saves with 72 strikeouts in 61.2 innings with a 3.36 ERA and 1.05 WHIP. The Royals recently signed Carlos Estevez, which could complicate the backend of the bullpen.
16.08: Kodai Senga (SP – NYM)
Kodai Senga missed most of 2024 with a shoulder injury before returning for one start, which was cut short due to a calf injury.
Senga looked phenomenal after missing four months with nine strikeouts in 5.1 innings. In his 2023 rookie season, he had a 2.98 ERA with a 10.93 K/9 in 166 innings. The upside is massive.
17.03: Eugenio Suarez (3B – ARI)
Eugenio Suarez had a big season in his first year in Arizona. He reached a career-high 90 runs scored and recorded 100 RBI for the first time since 2019. The third basemen’s batting average will likely be a drag, but if it’s near .255 again, you’ll take that.
18.08: Luis Gil (SP – NYY)
Luis Gil is coming off an American League Rookie of the Year season. He had a 3.50 ERA, 1.19 WHIP and 171 strikeouts in 151.2 innings.
After the All-Star break, Gil’s ERA was 4.20 with a 1.42 WHIP. His strikeout rate lowered and his walk rate rose as the year went on.
19.03: Brandon Pfaadt (SP – ARI)
Brandon Pfaadt ended last year with a 4.71 ERA in 32 starts across 181.2 innings. However, his xERA of 3.78 and his FIP of 3.61, suggest he deserved better.
20.08: Lane Thomas (OF – CLE)
Lane Thomas was traded to the Cleveland Guardians last year and struggled. His 15 home runs and 32 steals provide some value, but he had just seven and four, respectively, after the trade.
21.03: Dansby Swanson (SS – CHC)
Dansby Swanson turned his season around in the second half, however, his overall numbers are still low compared to how he finished the season. With Kyle Tucker entering the lineup, Swanson could have a nice bounce-back season.
22.08: Brandon Lowe (2B – TB)
Brandon Lowe is an underrated source of power at second base. He’s had 21 home runs in each of the past two seasons while missing 53+ games. In his lone season of playing in 140+ games, he hit 39 homers with 99 RBI.
23.05: Lourdes Gurriel Jr. (OF ARI)
Lourdes Gurriel Jr. has been a solid source of run production since moving to Arizona. Over the past two years, Gurriel is third on the team in total RBI.
24.08: Alejandro Kirk (C – TOR)
Alejandro Kirk provides little in counting stats, but his batting average upside could be an asset as the second catcher on this team.
Draft Wizards Insights
The Draft Wizard gave this draft a B+, 89/100 grade. I’m projected to be top-two in RBI and batting average, but middle-of-the-pack in the rest of the categories. This team’s biggest weakness is its pitching rotation. I dug myself a hole in strikeouts and struggled to make it up with reliable arms.
One change I would make would be taking Cole Ragans, Pablo Lopez or Michael King over George Kirby. In a vacuum, I prefer Kirby, but with the way my draft unfolded, I would have preferred the higher strikeout upside.
I should have taken another closer as well. Ryan Helsley is a solid RP1 option, but if Lucas Erceg splits opportunities with Carlos Estevez, I’ll fall behind quickly.
