EP 191: All Things Fantasy Baseball w/ Drew Forte
Welcome to the PullHitter Podcast, your destination for actionable resources and tools to grind your way to ultimate fantasy baseball success.
On this episode I am joined by Drew Forte ( @Frew_Dorte ). Drew is an active member in the fantasy baseball community. You can find him on Twitter mixing it up with great questions and counters and he is in the PullHitter Patreon discord always up on the news and latest fantasy happenings. He currently has 2 teams in the top 10 overall (out of 2460 teams) in the NFBC Online Championship. I met Drew in a home league several years ago and we share some funny memories of some of the quirky rules it had.
Method of Evaluating and Ranking players: Merging SGP with BABS
Draft and In Season must have tools
12 team vs 15 team leagues and choosing to try to master one than play both
Not playing volume leagues: How does that affect diversification? How does that change your draft approach and getting your guys?
Drew finds FAAB a lot of fun
Any pressure when you find yourself in the hunt for the overall, even if early in the season? Do you feel joy?
