2021 Consensus Top-100 Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Rankings

January 4, 2021 by Fantrax Staff Leave a Comment

FantraxHQ is the official content sponsor of Fantrax.com, the hottest Fantasy Site of 2018 and 2019.
Fantasy Baseball Starting Pitcher Rankings

That’s right, it’s finally Fantasy Baseball draft season! While some of us degenerates were drafting back in October and November, January is the first month where fantasy baseball drafts really kick into high gear. We here at FantraxHQ have been pumping out a ton of great content all offseason long and now are diving head-first into our 2021 Fantrax Fantasy Baseball Draft Kit. A big part of any draft kit is rankings, and we’re starting our staff consensus rankings for 2021 with our fantasy baseball starting pitcher rankings.

Below you’ll find the consensus rankings that eight of our MLB writers were involved in. Those being Eric Cross, Chris Clegg, Jake Devereaux, Justin Johnson, Jorge Montanez, David Mendelson, Nic Civale, and Dave Swan. Each writer provided anywhere from 100-150 pitchers so we could create our consensus top-100.

The 2021 pitcher landscape is very exciting. You see a discernable top tier of three names, and then tier two is a hot mess. In a good way though. Capitalizing on pitching is more important now than ever before, so hopefully, these rankings can help guide you in the right direction for all of your drafts. Enjoy!


What?! Your league is not planning on using Fantrax? Inconceivable! Check out everything Fantrax has to offer and I’m sure you’ll come around to our way of thinking.
