The prevailing advice among fantasy baseball experts has been to avoid platoon bats, but this perspective deserves reevaluation. Platoon players can thrive in favorable matchups, particularly in daily leagues where managers can capitalize on specific pitcher matchups. For instance, Joc Pederson, now with the Texas Rangers, demonstrated exceptional value last year, proving that platoon hitters can still contribute significantly despite limited appearances against lefties. Other notable options include Jonathan Aranda from the Tampa Bay Rays, Kyle Manzardo of the Cleveland Guardians, and Ben Rice from the New York Yankees, all of whom present late-round potential for fantasy managers willing to adapt their strategies. Many of these players also benefit from park upgrades, enhancing their outlook heading into the new season.
