2016 Fantasy Baseball Cheat Sheets:
Batting Average

This page is a quick reference that you can have open during your fantasy baseball draft or fantasy auction. Batting Average is, obviously, one of the best indicators in fantasy baseball to project a player's worth. We've taken the minimum qualification down to 300 at bats, so we'll shed more light on the fantasy players whose season was cut short by injury, as well as some guys who may be up-and-comers.

• Batting Average (Avg), All Batters: on the right, there's a complete list of the top 100 fantasy leaders in Batting Average (minimum 300 at bats).
• Batting Average Ranked by Position: below, click on the position to see the leaders in Batting Average at each position.

There's also a "Back to Top" link at the bottom of each one so you jump around the page quickly so you don't miss out... or in case you have to take your tablet, phone or laptop to the head. Hey, man. You never know.
