"The "cheat code" is back, as Ohtani is 2½ years removed from reconstructive elbow surgery and potentially ready to dominate on both sides of the ball. As a two-way player following the All-Star break, albeit one who averaged only 68.3 pitches per start, he lapped the field by 56 fantasy points. We've projected him for 911 combined points, meaning that in ESPN leagues, he could be within range of his 2022 or 2023 production."
Fantasy baseball draft season is underway as Opening Day approaches. ESPN experts Tristan H. Cockcroft and Eric Karabell provided ideal draft selections for each of the 10 draft positions in standard fantasy baseball leagues across both points-based scoring and rotisserie formats. For the No. 1 overall pick in points-based leagues, Cockcroft recommends Shohei Ohtani, who is recovering from elbow surgery and positioned to perform as a two-way player. Ohtani's dual eligibility provides a significant competitive advantage, with projections suggesting 911 combined fantasy points. Secondary picks in Round 2 include Bryan Woo or Kyle Schwarber, with Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Julio Rodriguez as alternative options based on personal preference.
