2024 Fantasy Baseball Rankings (AL)
Expert Consensus Ranking (4 of 4 Experts) -
| Rank | Player (Team, Position) | Overall | Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bobby Witt Jr. (KC - 3B,DH,SS) | 2 | 1.0 | -1.0 | Bobby Witt Jr. showed up for his second season and made strides across the board. The 24-year-old played in 158 games and hit 30 home runs. He also stole 49 bases, scored 97 runs, drove in 96, and slashed .276/.319/.495. Finding a 30/30 guy eligible for third base used to be reserved for Jose Ramirez, but the torch has been passed. The sole knock against Witt is the team he plays for, but that seems like splitting hairs, considering he almost managed to go 100/100 anyway. Witt should be the first third baseman off the board in 2024, and if he's not someone else's, he should be yours. |
| 2 | Jose Ramirez (CLE - 3B,DH) | 4 | 4.0 | ‐ | Jose Ramirez turned in another stellar season in 2023, hitting 24 home runs and stealing 28 bases while slashing .282/.356/.475. His other counting stats took a hit due to a subpar lineup around him. He only knocked in 80 and scored 87 across 156 games. Ramirez will be in his age-31 season, typically a time when stolen bases begin to slow down, but his superb batting skills will continue to have high fantasy value. If Cleveland does not improve the lineup around him, he is a first-round talent in a later-round situation that will leave fantasy managers wanting more. |
