Breaking Down the Latest 5×5 League Rankings: Who’s On Top and Who’s Dropping Off?

The June edition of my rest-of-season position rankings and overall top 300 for 5×5 leagues has been released. I apologize for the delay, as I needed to find a new No. 1 overall player for the rankings. To my surprise, there are only approximately 120 players in the majors capable of hitting right now, with many top pitchers currently injured.

In this latest rankings update, several players have dropped off the list, including Matt Mervis, Tyler Nevin, Wilmer Flores, and Ryan Noda. The rankings include First Baseman and Designated Hitter Rest-Of-Season rankings, with updated information on players’ performances.

One player causing some uncertainty is Michael Busch, whose recent batted-ball numbers have been improving. However, the Cubs have benched him against both righties and lefties due to defensive reasons, despite his strong base-stealing record. On the other hand, Spencer Torkelson showed promise in the final two months of last season but has struggled this year and was recently demoted to Triple-A. His offensive and defensive performance have raised questions about his future in the majors, even though the Tigers want to see him succeed.
