Fantasy baseball points are only useful when the scoring model matches the league. ESPN, Yahoo, CBS, and custom leagues can reward very different categories, so this calculator makes the rules visible before it compares players.
Start with the scoring rules
Select the preset that matches your league and read every active category in the Scoring rules summary. Platform names are labels for published defaults, not a promise that every private league uses them. If your commissioner changed a value, use Custom Scoring.
Why the hit breakdown matters
Some systems score total bases, while others score singles, doubles, triples, and home runs separately. The calculator accepts H plus the extra-base breakdown and derives singles and total bases, preventing the common mistake of adding a hit total and extra-base bonuses as if they were independent events.
Use the period as context
A single-game comparison answers a different question from a scoring-week or season-total comparison. The calculator keeps the period beside the result and does not invent a positional benchmark when the entered period does not match it. For a lineup decision, confirm the period and league settings first, then use the category advantages to understand why one player leads.
Paste, preview, then apply
Paste a labeled CSV/TSV row or the ordered stat line shown in the input. Preview catches aliases such as H, 2B, HR, RBI, BB, K, IP, ER, SV, and HLD before anything changes. Invalid relationships stay visible so you can correct the source data rather than getting a plausible but wrong zero.
