As the 2023 Fantasy Baseball season approaches, it’s time to start thinking about keeper rankings. We’ve compiled a list of the top players you should consider holding onto for the long haul, along with a calendar so you can keep track of important dates.
Mike Trout
Mike Trout has been a perennial All-Star and MVP contender since bursting onto the scene in 2011. He’s shown no signs of slowing down, and at only 31 years old, he still has plenty of years left in him. His combination of power, speed, and on-base ability make him a truly elite player, and someone you should definitely consider keeping on your team for the foreseeable future.
Mookie Betts
Mookie Betts is another young superstar who should be near the top of your keeper rankings. He led the Red Sox to a World Series victory in 2018, and has consistently been one of the most productive players in the league. He’s also shown impressive versatility, playing Gold Glove defense at multiple positions. Betts is someone you can build your team around for years to come.
Bryce Harper
Bryce Harper was one of the most sought-after free agents in recent memory, and for good reason. He’s a true five-tool player who can hit for power, hit for average, steal bases, play defense at a high level, and has a cannon of an arm. Harper has had some injury issues in the past, but when healthy he’s one of the most dominant players in the game.
Nolan Arenado
Nolan Arenado is a true defensive wizard at third base, and he’s no slouch at the plate either. He’s had 30 or more home runs in each of the last four seasons, and he’s shown an ability to hit for average as well. Arenado is in his prime right now, and he should be a mainstay of your fantasy team for years to come.
Jacob deGrom
Jacob deGrom is the reigning National League Cy Young Award winner, and for good reason. He’s one of the most dominant pitchers in the game today, with a historic 1.70 ERA in 2018. He’s also shown an ability to go deep into games and strike out batters at a high rate. deGrom is a true ace, and someone you should keep on your team for years to come.
