Within the top-120 picks — roughly 10 rounds of a 12-team league — there are 30 starting pitchers drafted in Yahoo fantasy baseball leagues. That includes Spencer Schwellenbach, who should be falling in drafts based on the elbow surgery he sustained in February. Around 10-11 relievers go within the top-120 picks in drafts, which follows a similar trend to high-stakes NFBC leagues, though they tend to go earlier in those formats.

Other interesting positional notes include six second and third basemen going inside the top-100 picks, making it a somewhat top-heavy position. When we remove the infield and outfield eligible players, 25 outfielders are going within the top-100 picks in Yahoo leagues. Since Yahoo leagues have one catcher spot, drafters can find value throughout the draft, with Cal Raleigh as the only catcher eligible player going within the top-50 picks.

Five catchers go within the top-50 picks on Yahoo. Catcher tends to be a position to wait on in Yahoo formats, but prioritize the position in two-catcher leagues.

We also have nine more shortstop-eligible players from picks 100-200, showing it can be a position to wait on or use in a utility spot. For leagues with middle infield spots, finding two shortstop-eligible players will likely fill those positions. Like second and third base, the first base position looks somewhat top-heavy, including seven within the top 50 and 12 going inside the top-100 picks.
