About KevScores

A fantasy baseball tool built from scratch — for casuals, by a casual.

The Short Version

KevScores is a free fantasy baseball analytics tool. It gives you a daily-updated ranking of every MLB player, a trade calculator that evaluates any deal, risers and fallers reports, and weekly top scorers — all powered by a custom metric called the Kev Score that combines preseason value with live 2026 performance.

Why I Built This

This is my first year playing fantasy baseball. I’m a casual viewer of the game and a stats enthusiast by nature, and pretty quickly into the season I realized I needed help — the defaults weren’t cutting it.

Every fantasy platform shows you a player’s preseason ranking, their season totals, and maybe a few rate stats. What none of them show you cleanly is the thing you actually need to answer: what is this player worth right now? ESPN’s preseason values are frozen from March. Season totals tell you the past. Neither tells you whether the player your league-mate just offered you is a bargain or a trap.

I wanted a number that said: here is where this player ranks today, accounting for who they were expected to be and what they’ve actually done this year.

Fantasy football has trade calculators everywhere. Fantasy baseball has almost none. So I built one.

How It Started

KevScores started life as a spreadsheet. I wanted a quick way to see my own league’s power rankings — not the ESPN-provided version based purely on standings, but a real view of which teams had the most valuable rosters.

Once I had a working formula, I kept pushing it. If I could rank my league’s rosters, I could rank every player. If I could rank every player, I could build a trade calculator. If I could track daily changes, I could build a risers and fallers list. Every new feature answered a question I was asking myself as a new manager.

The spreadsheet became a Python script. The Python script became a daily automated pipeline. The pipeline became this website.

What You Can Do Here

  • Evaluate any trade. Add players to both sides of a proposed deal and see who’s winning — with league-size adjustments for 8-, 10-, and 12-team leagues.
  • Browse the full rankings. Every MLB player with a Kev Score, filtered by position, type, or name. Sortable by whatever matters to you.
  • See who’s hot and who’s cold. Rolling 7-day movers, both up and down, refreshed every morning.
  • Check weekly top scorers. See who’s earning the most fantasy points this week for trade-deadline and waiver decisions.
  • Click any player for details. 2026 season stats, position, team, Kev Score breakdown — all in a single view.

The whole site updates daily, automatically, every morning at 7 AM Central.

Who Runs This

My name is Kevin. I’m a stats enthusiast who got hooked on fantasy baseball this year and couldn’t find the tool I wanted to use, so I built it. There’s no team behind KevScores — it’s just me, a Python script, and a hosting bill.

If you’ve found this site useful, the best thing you can do is share it with a league-mate. If you’ve found a bug or have a feature request, reach out — I read every message.

What’s Next

A few things I’m actively working on or considering:

  • A “paste your roster” tool for any platform (Yahoo, Sleeper, ESPN, CBS) that scores your team against the league
  • League power rankings via ESPN league ID
  • Weekly written breakdowns of the biggest Kev Score movers

If there’s something you’d love to see, let me know.
