The current top three players in 5X5 fantasy baseball leagues are as follows: Atlanta Braves outfielder Ronald Acuña Jr. (no surprise), New York Yankees starting pitcher Gerrit Cole (no surprise) and Toronto Blue Jays third baseman, Matt Chapman (wait, what?!).
HOUSTON, TEXAS - APRIL 18: Matt Chapman #26 of the Toronto Blue Jays hits a solo home run in the fourth inning against the Houston Astros at Minute Maid Park on April 18, 2023 in Houston, Texas. The current top three players in 5X5 fantasy baseball leagues are as follows: Atlanta Braves outfielder and Toronto Blue Jays third baseman,Now, we're barely a month into the season — shenanigans in the rankings should be expected;not going to last.
Things have changed during this young season. Chapman has become a four-category superstar in fantasy, delivering a gaudy average, the aforementioned 5 bombs and 30 R+RBIs. Hitting the Blue Jays' potent lineup certainly helps, but Chapman has been their best hitter regardless. Luck isn't completely out of the equation, however. He is sporting an inflated .468 BABIP, one that will surely regress to the mean; aka, he's not going to hit .397 for the rest of the season — some of those hits will become strikeouts and groundouts. But advanced metrics are loving Chapman nonetheless; his Statcast page is a sea of red, and his xBA, xSLG and xwOBA are all top three in the league right now.
