The Baller Ranks: Weekly Top 101 Starting Pitcher Rankings

Freddy Peralta - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Injury News

Nick Mariano's Baller Ranks is a weekly fantasy baseball rankings list for the top 101 starting pitchers. He ranks and analyzes updated pitcher values for Week 12.

Holy cow, it's the middle of June! The season's halfway point is coming into view, and with it will come a full top-500 overall re-roll of ranks. For now, you'll have to simply enjoy my weekly Starting Pitcher Baller Ranks, where we take stock of my top 101 SPs moving forward. With two and a half months of games in, I've changed the visible stats on my table to display numbers from May 14-June 13 for more relevant intel from the past month. So the "EV" below is Earned Value via Fangraphs for that period.

Click the link! This google sheet accompanies the table below and adds relevant 5x5 stats, K%, BB%, BABIP, FIP, xFIP, SIERA, ERA-FIP, and CSW%. Do note that I leave off most injured players, and removing those injured players can give an illusion that others have risen despite mediocre performances.

To be clear, these Rest of Season ranks are geared towards traditional 5x5 leagues sans most injured SPs, lest a return is imminent. If 25% of the board is on the IL, then it isn't terribly actionable, and I'll intermittently weave in updates of where I'd throw them in if they were healthy. For now, let's dive into my Top 101 SPs and be sure we've got the best rotation possible.
