Guide 3: 10 Expert Fantasy Baseball Tips from Pro-DayBaseball for 2025
1. Prioritize Plate Discipline Over Batting Average
Walk rate (BB%) is a stronger indicator of long-term success than batting average. When possible, favor on-base percentage (OBP) formats—they reward patient, high-IQ hitters.
2. Draft Multi-Position Players
Flexibility wins leagues. Players who qualify at multiple spots help you adapt to injuries, slumps, and lineup changes with ease.
3. Be Cautious with Rookie Hype in Redraft Leagues
First-year players often fall short of their ADP. Use AI trend data over headlines and preseason buzz when evaluating breakout potential.
4. Grab Elite Starters Early
Top-tier starting pitchers are separating from the rest. Secure your aces by Round 4 to build a stable, high-upside rotation.
5. Avoid High-Risk Veterans
Some aging players come with chronic injury concerns. Let AI-driven risk models steer you clear of repeat red flags.
6. Use Daily Matchup Data in DFS
Park factors, platoon splits, and weather all matter—every single day. Lean on our DFS tools to uncover sneaky value plays with low ownership.
7. Stream Starting Pitchers When Needed
Even in season-long formats, streaming SPs based on matchup quality can give you the edge. Our streaming score tool helps you identify weekly wins.
8. Don’t Rely Solely on Hot Streaks
A player on fire might be lucky, not good. Use indicators like BABIP and HR/FB rate to tell whether their success is sustainable.
9. Trust Rest-of-Season (ROS) Projections
Our AI continually updates outlooks based on injuries, playing time, and performance trends—so you’re never stuck using outdated forecasts.
10. Stay Engaged All Season Long
Winning managers stay active—checking matchups, making moves, and adjusting weekly. With AI in your corner, you can do it smarter and faster.
