A name is what you are known by. Every year, thousands of fantasy baseball players spend hours, days or weeks prepping for their fantasy drafts only to name their team the exact same thing as they have year after year. We all have been that guy, but you shouldn’t. Don’t be that guy.

I spent hours thinking of good team names and then I crowdsourced on social media for more. Here are the best team names for 2024. Below we dive into a few names related to specific players.

What is Fantasy Baseball?

Fantasy baseball is an online game where participants act as managers of virtual baseball teams based on real-life Major League Baseball (MLB) players. The performance of these players in actual games determines the results in the fantasy league. It’s a blend of skill, strategy, and a little bit of luck, akin to the real-world decisions team managers must make.

Basic Strategy for Fantasy Baseball Success

1. Understand Your League’s Format and Scoring

Before drafting your team, it’s essential to understand the scoring system and rules of your specific league, as this will influence your drafting and management strategy. Knowing whether you’re in a points-based, category-based, or head-to-head league will guide you in selecting players whose strengths align with the scoring system.

2. Drafting Your Team Wisely

A solid draft is the foundation of a successful season. Here are a few tips for the drafting phase:

• Balanced Team: Ensure you have a balanced team with a mix of power hitters, average hitters, speedsters, starting pitchers, and relievers.
• Position Scarcity: Be aware of the depth of talent at each position. Some positions, like shortstop, may have fewer high-quality players, making it beneficial to draft a top player at that position early.
• High-Floor Players: Early in the draft, focus on players with a proven track record of consistency.
• Upside Picks: In the later rounds, look for “upside” players. These are athletes who have the potential to outperform their draft position.

3. In-Season Management

• Stay Active: Constantly look for ways to improve your team through waivers, trades, and free-agent pickups.
• Mind the Matchups: Pay attention to player matchups, platoon splits, and ballparks. Starting a pitcher in a hitter-friendly park, for example, can be risky.
• Injury Management: Stay on top of player injuries and have backups ready for your key players.
