The MLB season is in full swing, and as we hit the halfway point, it's a good time to look at who's exceeding expectations and who's falling short. With that in mind, here are some Redraft Rankings based on current performance and projected value for the rest of the season.
Top 10 Redraft Rankings:
- Shohei Ohtani (Angels): The two-way superstar is still the undisputed top pick, with his elite pitching and hitting making him a fantasy juggernaut.
- Ronald Acuña Jr. (Braves): Acuna's power and speed combination is back in full force, making him a must-have in any redraft.
- Mookie Betts (Dodgers): Betts continues to be a consistent offensive force and a reliable contributor in all categories.
- Aaron Judge (Yankees): Judge's power is unmatched, and his resurgence at the plate has made him a top-tier fantasy asset.
- Manny Machado (Padres): Machado's consistent production across the board makes him a valuable pick in any redraft.
- Freddie Freeman (Dodgers): Freeman has seamlessly adjusted to his new team and continues to be a reliable source of RBI and batting average.
