Traditional Fantasy Baseball Position Eligibility required 20 games played at a position the previous season in order to be eligible. If a player didn’t play 20 games at any position they were only eligible at the position they played most. If a player did not play the previous season most leagues used their minor league position eligibility or the last season they appeared in the Major Leagues.


Hopefully, this Position Eligibility Tool and Cheat Sheet come in handy for your 2020 drafts.  For more great rankings, strategy, and analysis check out the 2020 FantraxHQ Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit which will be rolling out on New Year’s Day. We’ll be adding more content from now right up until Opening Day!
