Fantasy baseball sleepers: Pitchers to target late

Looking for fantasy baseball sleepers? Here are five potential pitching options that could make a big difference this season.

Finding the right sleepers in fantasy baseball can make a major difference. Those late round gems, when they pan out, can be the difference between taking home the trophy and losing in the playoffs. These players can set a team apart, leaving other team owners to wonder how they were unable to find those players for their own teams.

As leagues start to ramp up and prepare for their drafts, it is a time to start preparing. Obviously, the top of most lists will look pretty similar, with most teams targeting the same players early in the draft. Short of doing something insane like drafting Brandon League in the third round (don’t laugh – this happened in one of my leagues back in 2014) any baseball fan can build a team early.

Those mid to late round picks are where championships are made. In this post, we will focus on pitchers, taking a look at five starters that may not be big names, but warrant a look late. Obviously, these players come with risks, but they appear poised to dramatically outperform their draft position.

So, which pitchers could end up as fantasy baseball sleepers this year? Here are our five choices.
