2026 Fantasy Baseball Draft Strategy: Hitters
How do you build a championship-caliber offense in your 2026 fantasy baseball draft? Joe Bond, A.J. Applegarth, and Corey Pieper break down the hitter draft strategy you need to dominate, covering core philosophy, positional scarcity, category targets, and roster construction mistakes to avoid. In this comprehensive strategy episode, we tackle the biggest questions drafters face: Is shortstop really that deep? Which hitting categories are hardest to recover? Should you lock in elite SS/OF early or wait for value? How do you balance batting average risk with power and speed? We analyze how MLB trends should shift your approach, which positions require early investment, and the roster-building landmines that derail drafts in rounds 1-10. Whether you play on Yahoo, ESPN, NFBC, or Fantrax in roto or H2H formats, this is your guide to constructing a balanced, lethal hitting lineup for 2026. Key Topics: Core hitting philosophy for 12-team leagues, hardest categories to recover, protecting yourself in SB/HR/R/RBI, positional scarcity strategy, when to address each position, common roster construction mistakes, balancing upside with stability Get the Edge: Visit FantasySixPack.net for complete rankings, custom cheat sheets, and Discord access.
