As we ramp up the fantasy baseball draft season, the time to mock draft is now. Most take part in mock drafts to find out the best potential plan of attack to achieve the best draft results. Of course, the results can vary based on draft spot, league competition and more.
My task in these upcoming articles is to take part in quick mock drafts using the FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator. I will draft from the front, middle and back of the draft, discussing the results and other potential picks available in that part.
In the end, remember these are just mock drafts and should be used to help build a better player pool concept. Hopefully, they also help readers realize when to target pitchers, certain hitting positions and more. Let’s look at my results for picking 10th in a 12-team mock draft. And below we dive into a few notable names selected.

Fantasy Baseball Mock Draft: Late Pick (2024)
The lineup for this 12-team draft is two C, 1B, 2B, 3B, SS, CI, MI, five OF, UTIL, eight P and four BN, conducted using the FantasyPros Mock Draft Simulator.
2.3: Trea Turner (SS – PHI)
Trea Turner got off to a slow start to his first season with the Phillies, but in the end, he was good enough for fantasy managers. He hit .266 with 26 home runs and 30 stolen bases and once again scored over 100 runs. He is falling in drafts since he “disappointed” so many last season and could end up being one of the better early-round deals on draft day.
Others Considered: Gerrit Cole (SP – NYY)
5.10: Logan Webb (SP – SF)
It was time to add some pitching, so I went with a workhorse in Logan Webb. Last season, he threw 216 innings after throwing 192 innings the previous season. Webb also brings an ERA of around 3.00 and a very strong WHIP. If Webb can once again throw 190+ innings, he will be a fantasy ace.
Others Considered: Tarik Skubal (SP – DET)
8.3: Gleyber Torres (2B – NYY)
Gleyber Torres has become one of the best second basemen in the fantasy game, yet he is still very affordable on draft day. He has hit at least 24 home runs in back-to-back seasons while tossing in double-digit steals. Torres brings the power and speed profile we like to keep building around on draft day and plays a position that dries up quickly as it progresses.
Others Considered: Raisel Iglesias (RP – LAA)
11.10: Andres Gimenez (2B – CLE)
If I don’t draft Torres, Andres Gimenez is a significant target at second base. Since I already drafted Torres, Gimenez makes for a strong MI option. Gimenez brings 15 home runs upside down, stealing 20+ bases. He stole 30 bases last year, so the 20 is a lovely floor. The power and speed are what I love to keep building around, and Gimenez will still contribute to the other three ROTO categories.
Others Considered: Dansby Swanson (SS – CHC)
