Mock drafts provide a vital tool for Fantasy Baseball enthusiasts entering the new season, and in the latest episode of Locked on Fantasy Baseball, Dominic Martino and Matthew dive into their strategies from different draft positions. Highlighting a 5x5 head-to-head category league, Martino reveals his approach while drafting from the 12th spot, focusing on securing high-value hitters before addressing pitching needs. His early picks include notable players like Julio Rodriguez and Vladimir Guerrero Jr., showcasing a preference for hitting power.

The conversation transitions, delving into themes such as 'double tap' strategies—selecting two players consecutively at the draft's end or start. Martino emphasizes the importance of covering essential positions early, especially outfielders, to avoid scrambling for lesser options as the draft progresses. Both hosts share insights on player performance expectations, assessing the risks of younger talents alongside established stars, and debate their balanced lineup strategies.
