Frequently Asked Questions
How are player rankings calculated?
Player rankings are based on our comprehensive meta score system that evaluates players using position-specific attribute weights, quirks, and penalty assessments. Each position has unique scoring criteria that reflect what matters most for that role in competitive play.
Which positions have the most Diamond players?
Starting pitchers and outfield positions typically have the highest concentration of Diamond-rated players due to their importance in the game. However, premium catchers and middle infielders are often more valuable due to their scarcity. Check individual position pages to see the latest Diamond distributions.
How often are rankings updated?
Rankings are updated hourly to reflect the latest player releases, attribute changes, and market dynamics. New cards from special series and events are automatically incorporated into the rankings as they become available in the game.
Should I always use the highest-ranked players?
Not necessarily. While rankings show the best overall performers, your team composition, budget, and playstyle matter too. Lower-ranked players might offer better value or fit specific strategies. Use our team builder to experiment with different combinations.
