Welcome to the first “normal” fantasy baseball draft season in a few years. There’s no lockout to dampen our enthusiasm and Covid, while not gone, is not going to take away huge chunks of the season. There are plenty of other things going on in the world but the MLB season is on the way, and we can get ready for our drafts in the best way we know possible. Welcome to our 2023 Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit.
Below you will find all the rankings and analysis you need to make this fantasy baseball season your most successful one yet. What you see right now though is just the beginning, We’ll be adding content all the way up until Opening Day and then, of course, FantraxHQ will help you on through the season. Right now, let’s get ready to Play Ball!
The season is not here yet, but why not get a head start with a Fantrax Classic Draft contest? Get a jump on the season with a Best Ball league or maybe a Draft and Hold. Or put some green on the line with a new season-long league to try and conquer. There’s no better time than now to get your baseball on!
