Stack It Up | Sorare MLB Hitter Strategy
How should we be targeting hitters in Sorare MLB?
Welcome back to another off-season Sorare MLB strategy guide.
We are still 58 days away from Opening Day, however, we are 49 days away from the Tokyo Series, and (most likely) 34 days away from brand-new 2025 MLB cards in Sorare.
This edition of the Sideline Sports newsletter will be all about rostering hitters in Sorare MLB!
There are many factors to take into account, and I’ve listed some of the things I like to look for when scouting or building my teams each week.
This full article will be free for all Premium members of Sideline Sports.
Let’s dive into it!
Here are some key points, and how I will break down each section of this article.
What to look for when picking hitters:
How many games does the hitter have?
What pitchers will he face?
What ballpark is he playing in?
What position does he play?
Is he even a good hitter?
Should I stack him with his teammates?
Number Of Games Is King
Because of how the Game Weeks work in Sorare MLB, picking hitters with the maximum number of games will be highly important.
More games = more at-bats = more opportunity for fantasy points.
There are typically a few times a season where some teams have FIVE games in a midweek, while some have four and most have three.
A make-up game likely causes this due to a rain postponement.
In this scenario, it is highly important to target hitters on the teams with five games because they have a much higher chance of delivering fantasy points.
I list the number of games for each team here on Substack, but you can also easily find it in the FantasyPros Pitcher Planner, or you can see the number under the player card on Sorare.
Now, not all at-bats are created equal.
Some will come much easier than others.
Which is why it is important to take into account…
Which Pitchers Should We Be Targeting With Batters?
Most good baseball teams carry at least one ace pitcher.
Some baseball teams, like the Dodgers, carry five ace pitchers.
On the flip side, there are certain teams that have multiple pitchers that we want to target with hitters.
