Fantasy Baseball Tools
Batter vs Pitcher
Our new batter vs pitcher tool profiles all the at-bats between any hitter and hurler since 1950. It ranks their matchup history, predicts the next AB and tosses yearly OPS levels into a snazzy new visual coined an Ownage Chart. Given a league-wide OPS average of about .725, the new chart gives you a quick look at where the trend is headed (min of 5 PAs per season to qualify). Check it out below, search for players and give it a whirl!

Player Comparisons
Ranking players is a big (and fun) part of fantasy baseball. During a draft, it's one of the key ways to decide between similar players. Throughout the season, trading for undervalued stars is always a league-winning strategy. Our growing number of player comparisons give you a detailed look at each hitter's best and worst splits. For example, if a player trends much higher after the all-star break and he's off to another slow start, take action!
Daily Matchups
Before you set your lineup for the day, be sure to check on who has the numbers in their favor. We comprehensively review all the starting pitchers against their opposing lineups and rank batters by: traditional stats (BA, Hits, OPS, etc), HRForce (our HR weather index), qAB (quality AB percentage), HH% (Hard Hit percentage) and more. If most or all the specs are in a hitter's favor on that day, start him with confidence. If your pitcher is going up against a stacked lineup that's hit him well in the past AND the wind is blowing out, might make sense to save him for another day.
Weather & HRForce
Throughout a full baseball season, weather can play a significant role in at least a few games a day. Wind, rain and humidity can all affect the flight of the ball. Our real-time weather panels distill the conditions for each game and assign each an HRForce value: how many more (or less) home runs are likely to be hit. Check out today's MLB weather forecast.
Projections
Get ready for your draft and round out your sleeper/bust lists. We use a fairly complex model to create our projections. In general, we take into account the last few years (with heavier weight given to the most recent year), factor in likely playing time for 2025, surrounding lineup, ballpark effects and quite a bit more.
