Identifying key players for your fantasy baseball draft is crucial for building a competitive team. This episode highlights ten must-have hitters, focusing on their potential impact and current form. Corbin Carroll of the Arizona Diamondbacks is seen as a first-round value, showcasing impressive spring stats after recovering from shoulder issues. Austin Riley, a staple in the Atlanta Braves lineup, continues to demonstrate his power potential with a solid batting average.

O'Neil Cruz from the Pittsburgh Pirates is discussed as another player to watch, offering upside despite concerns about his batting average and lineup position. Vinnie Pasquantino is emerging as a strong first base option, and Lawrence Butler is noted for his impressive spring performance, which could translate to significant production this season. Ezekiel Tovar's blend of speed and power makes him a valuable shortstop target, while Pete Crow-Armstrong is recognized for his potential in the Cubs' lineup.

For your 2025 fantasy baseball team, maximizing every pick is crucial. This episode highlights players to avoid based on their current average draft position (ADP). Host Dominic Martino discusses overpriced players, starting with C.J. Abrams of the Washington Nationals, whose current ADP of pick 54 is deemed excessive given his limited production and high strikeout rates. Adley Rutschman, the catcher for the Baltimore Orioles, is also flagged as a player to avoid at pick 64, as his draft position doesn't align with his disappointing 2024 performance.

Moving on, Chris Sale is criticized for his injury history, making his price tag at pick 34 risky. Similarly, O'Neal Cruz of the Pittsburgh Pirates is labeled as overpriced at pick 43 due to concerns about his team's overall offensive support. Other notable mentions include Adolis García and Bryce Miller, both of whom present risks at their respective draft positions.
