The first base position in Fantasy baseball saw two of the top three players change teams, with one replacing the other on the defensing World Series champions. The Yankees decided to bring Anthony Rizzo back into the fold at the position and send Luke Voit packing, helping the stock of both players by freeing up at-bats. On the prospect front, Spencer Torkelson went from being the first player selected in the 2020 draft to holding his own against Triple-A pitching by the end of 2021.

So how should you attack the position heading into your draft? I've done several mock and real snake and salary cap drafts heading into the 2022 MLB season, and I'm here to share the things I've learned so far. If you're a regular subscriber to SportsLine, you probably know me from dominating NFL picks for years, but did you know I actually got my start in sports media as a fantasy baseball analyst? I even finished No. 1 among all experts for my draft rankings the first year FantasyPros tracked MLB expert accuracy on their site.

Let's dive into the first base position with my tiers and talk about which players I'm more bullish on than the consensus. You can also check out my other positional ranking tiers at the links below.
