Every year, The K Zone engages in our tradition of ranking the top 10 players at each position. If you want to embarrass us, you can look at our charts from before the 2018 and 2017 years. Rankings, made during the preseason, are based on our projections for the coming season, so the following are our predictions for who will finish as a top 10 player at each position, and how high they will fall among the top 10 in 2019:
Top 10 Starting Pitchers
Top 10 Middle Relievers
Top 10 Closers
Top 10 Right Fielders
Top 10 Center Fielders
Top 10 Left Fielders
Top 10 Third Basemen
Top 10 Shortstops
Top 10 Second Basemen
Top 10 First Basemen and Designated Hitters
Top 10 Catchers
And of course, the Top 20 Overall Baseball Players
