Who are five pitchers who could be sleepers in fantasy baseball in 2019?

With the new year arriving just yesterday, it means that we are that much closer to the 2019 baseball season. If you’re like me, you’re not only looking forward to new season, but to ramp up preparations for the 2019 fantasy baseball season. Hey, failure to prepare is preparing to fail right?

Let’s start 2019 on the right foot. Within this post, we are going to take a look at some pitchers who you could get late in fantasy drafts that could be of great value as the season goes along. Not only do you have to hit on your early picks, but you have to find those guys at the end that give your roster some depth and help put you over the top.

At the beginning of 2018, I’m sure no one thought that in the final player rater among pitchers, Blake Snell, Kyle Freeland, Miles Mikolas, Mike Clevinger, Mike Foltynewicz and J.A. Happ would be in the top 20.

If you rostered a couple of these guys, your staff was in much better shape, and you probably made the playoffs and maybe even won your league’s championship.

So who will be 2019’s version of Happ or Freeland or Mikolas? Who are those guys that you can grab late and will help you win a championship? Let’s take a look at five candidates, starting with a guy who should have a new address by the time the 2019 season starts but doesn’t as of this posting.
