Fantasy Baseball Multi-Position Players: Draft Rankings & Tiers

Whether you play in rotisserie leagues with categories, head-to-head points leagues or any other type of fantasy baseball format, players with multi-position eligibility are valuable, providing you with flexibility and depth. It’s always helpful to shift one of your “Swiss Army knives” to another position to replace a struggling or injured player.

In this article, I’ve created tiered fantasy baseball rankings of 32 players with multi-position eligibility for the 2025 fantasy baseball season. However, I omitted any catchers who are eligible at other positions because — let’s face it — you’re only playing them elsewhere if you’re in a deeper league and decimated with injuries. Positional eligibility is based on what is shown at FantasyPros.

With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at players who can be deployed at multiple positions in fantasy baseball.

Fantasy Baseball Multi-Position Players Primer: Rankings & Tiers

Tier 1 & Notes | Locked-In First Rounders

1. Mookie Betts (2B, SS, OF – LAD)
2. Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (1B, 3B – TOR)

Mookie Betts is entering his age-32 season, but there’s still 35-15 upside in this bat. Playing in one of the best lineups in MLB history will help Betts continue to provide strong counting stats.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. should thrive in a contract year, providing you with a rare combination of elite batting average and power.

Tier 2 & Notes | Power & Speed Upside

3. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (3B, OF – NYY)
4. Oneil Cruz (SS, OF – PIT)

Jazz Chisholm Jr. hit 24 homers with 40 steals last year, but his overall production was held back by his runs (74) and RBI (73) totals. Now in a full season with the Yankees, Chisholm can provide more run production since he won’t be held back by the Marlins.

Oneil Cruz has 100th-percentile bat speed with 97th-grade barrel rate and 88th sprint speed. It’s only a matter of time before he truly breaks out.

Tier 3 & Notes | Intriguing Targets

5. Jordan Westburg (2B, 3B – BAL)
6. Cody Bellinger (1B, OF – NYY)
7. Jake Burger (1B, 3B – TEX)
8. Matt McLain (2B, SS – CIN)

Jordan Westburg just hit 18 home runs with six stolen bases in 447 plate appearances. I bet you didn’t realize he has 91st-percentile sprint speed, so there may be untapped stolen base upside.

Cody Bellinger is a perfect fit in Yankee Stadium, where he can take advantage of that short porch in right field. It wouldn’t be a surprise to see Bellinger get back to 25+ homers this year.

Jake Burger has hit 34 and 29 home runs in his last two seasons, but last year was suppressed by the pitcher-friendly environment in Miami. The former White Sox slugger won’t have to worry about that as much in Texas, where he’ll be playing in one of the best lineups in baseball.

Matt McLain has power and speed upside, but I’m tempering my expectations a bit after he missed all of 2024.

Spencer Steer is lower on this list despite a 20-home run/25-stolen base season because he’s currently dealing with a shoulder injury, which could force him to start the season on the injured list (IL).

Xander Bogaerts doesn’t have much power or speed, but he’ll have an everyday role in the heart of a good lineup. The veteran can also boost your batting average.

Alec Bohm is similar to Bogaerts in that he doesn’t wow you in any category, but he’ll have opportunities to drive in runs while being a positive in batting average. The difference with Bohm is that his lack of power hurts you a bit more at corner infield than Bogaerts does in the middle of the diamond.

Luis Rengifo is a nice value play because he has 30+ stolen base upside.

Luis Arraez is a player who you target if you need to catch up in batting average. I know several players like to pair him with Kyle Schwarber to mitigate that batting average risk.

Bryson Stott reportedly played injured last season. Like Rengifo, he’s a good play if you want to catch up in speed later in your draft.

Isaac Paredes is a pull-happy power hitter who should fit in nicely in Houston due to the Crawford Boxes in left field.

Tommy Edman is another speedster who gets a boost for playing in an elite lineup.

Michael Toglia is exciting due to his power in Coors Field, but there’s a risk that he hurts your batting average.

Tier 5 & Notes | Mix of Upside & Floor

18. Matt Shaw (2B, 3B, SS – CHC)
19. Brandon Lowe (1B, 2B – TB)
20. Nico Hoerner (2B, SS – CHC)
21. Ceddanne Rafaela (2B, SS, OF – BOS)
22. Alec Burleson (1B, OF – STL)
23. Willi Castro (2B, 3B, SS, OF – MIN)
24. Joey Ortiz (3B, SS – MIL)
25. Maikel Garcia (2B, 3B – KC)
26. Brendan Donovan (2B, 3B, OF – STL)
27. Tyler Fitzgerald (SS, OF – SF)
28. Jake Cronenworth (1B, 2B – SD)
29. Connor Norby (2B, 3B – MIA)
30. Christopher Morel (2B, 3B, OF – TB)
31. Jonathan Aranda (1B, 2B – TB)
32. Kristian Campbell (2B, SS, OF – BOS)

Matt Shaw is a dark horse National League Rookie of the Year candidate who can provide rare speed at third base.

Brandon Lowe is injury-prone but still provides rare power for the middle infield on a per-plate-appearance basis.

Nico Hoerner is only a recommendation if you’re desperate for a speed boost during your draft.

Ceddanne Rafaela struggled at the plate in his rookie season, although an elite glove will keep his bat in the lineup.

Alec Burleson is a platoon bat who can be deployed versus righties for power upside.

Willi Castro is the ideal Swiss Army knife for your bench, plugging him in when you need stolen bases.

Joey Ortiz is shifting from third base to shortstop to replace Willy Adames. We don’t often see teams mix and match at the most important position in the infield, so that should mean more plate appearances for Ortiz, which is good news for his fantasy value.

Maikel Garcia is a speed-only play, while Brendan Donovan is better in on-base percentage (OBP) leagues.

Tyler Fitzgerald has a lot of swing-and-miss in his game, which makes me believe last season’s surge was completely unsustainable.

Jake Cronenworth is just an accumulator who is rostered for his secure role — but what if he’s traded at some point?

Connor Norby is exciting, but I’m worried about the strikeout rate and the pitcher-friendly park.

This is pretty much the last chance for Christopher Morel to establish himself as somewhat of an everyday player.

Morel’s teammate Jonathan Aranda has been a Quad-A type for years. Perhaps he can make the most of his opportunity this year.

Kristian Campbell is an elite prospect whose path got blocked after the Alex Bregman signing.
