Ranking the top 100 starting pitchers for the 2022 Fantasy Baseball season.
In many fantasy baseball leagues, starting pitchers can make or break a team’s season. Though a pitcher will, at most, only make two starts in some weeks, those starts can yield an abundance of points. This makes starting pitchers the most consequential of the picks a fantasy baseball team owner will make come draft night.
With Opening Day just over a week away, today we are going to rank the league’s top 100 starting pitchers. Before we begin, remember that these rankings are for head-to-head (H2H) leagues. Determinations were made by aggregating rankings from reliable fantasy baseball experts (Pitcher List, The Athletic, and ESPN).
