2021 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: Top 25 Second Basemen

With a little more than two weeks before Opening Day, fans are ramping up their research for the upcoming 2021 Fantasy Baseball season. Before then, Our Esquina is dropping their 2021 Fantasy Baseball Rankings by position, including updates, every day until the first pitch of the regular season is thrown.

Today, we’re going to rank the league’s top 25 second basemen. Second base is one of the toughest positions to get elite production out of. A great player at second can make a huge difference, however. So, don’t forget to nab a player at this position before you run out of options.

Before we begin, these rankings are for head-to-head (H2H) leagues. Determinations were made by aggregating all projection stats, which can be found on FanGraphs.

On the Cusp

A few more second basemen you should probably consider are…

Joey Wendle, TBR – You really can’t go wrong with a player like Wendle. He is a high contact player who strikes out very little and can be a pest against opposing pitchers.

Starling Castro, WSN – Castro is one of the rare players who flirts with a .300 batting average almost every season. Though he won’t boast elite power numbers, Castro will likely provide you with positive production on a nightly basis.
