The First Pitch of 2026 Draft Season
The Stacking Dingers Show Episode 50
Hello everyone! We’re happy to be back for another season dedicated to MLB best ball. Appreciation goes to all of you who filled out the feedback form to help us best serve you, our audience. Based on that info, we have shuffled some of the content from last season, but you’ll be sure to see a lot of data analysis and the usual exhaustive look at the best-ball-relevant player pool. Plus new things like shows looking deeper into potential impact rookies and prospects, and coverage of the Draft Kings tournaments.
The other thing we are adding this year is a way to support us monetarily. We have opened up two YouTube membership tiers. Everyone who joins will get access to a private Discord server devoted to discussing all things MLB best ball. No content that we have provided in past seasons will be behind that paywall, though. Expect everything you got for free to be the same this season as it was last season. My goal isn’t to make money off of you; it’s only to offset the costs of running Stacking Dingers. Anything past that will go right back into the channel to improve our graphics and technology in order to help reach more people and grow the game.
Also, stay alert tomorrow for our first contribution from Paul, who will be adding a regular written article to this substack feed!
With all that said, I’m happy to show off our first episode of the season as well as 50th(!!!) overall. Billy and I go through a bit of housekeeping, an Underdog best ball tournament 101 review, and then look at the advancing roster construction data of 2025 compared to the previous seasons.
