Ray’s Ramblings: The Top-50 SPs, A Look Back

In today’s piece, we will look at the top-50 starting pitchers (relievers were omitted from what follows)…

About a month ago, I took a look back at the top-50 players selected on draft day. Of those 50 players, we determined that 17 of the players had failed to match draft day expectations. In today’s piece, we will look at the top-50 starting pitchers (relievers were omitted from what follows). Do you think the fail rate will be higher for pitchers than it was for everyone? Come on, you 100 percent know it will. The question is just how significant the fail rate will be?

The ADP numbers listed below, #1 through #50 at the starting pitcher position, are taken from the National Fantasy Baseball Championship. The dates surveyed for the ADP information was March 1^st through April 1^st, 2019. The ADP takes into account 543 drafts.
