Opening Day for the 2022 MLB season is right around the corner and with it comes the start of the 2022 fantasy baseball season. When preparing for your fantasy baseball drafts we often set our fantasy baseball rankings and participate in mock drafts but we also need to have as much information as possible at our fingertips. One key piece of information when building your draft strategy is understanding the value of players and when looking at drafting hitters the value of the hitter can be impacted by where they slot in the batting order. Check out our projected MLB starting lineups for the 2022 MLB season below.
