2023 first base rankings: With reigning MVP Paul Goldschmidt, position packs a punch

The National League East s absolutely stacked, and while the Mets poured a ton of money into their payroll this season, Steve Gardner explains why they still may not be the best team int he division.

First base is traditionally a position where fantasy teams can find plenty of power. At the top of the scale, that's certainly true with NL MVP Paul Goldschmidt, two-time Home Run Derby king Pete Alonso and Braves slugger Matt Olson — each of whom had at least 30 homers and 100 RBI last season.

But if you miss out on the elite first basemen, there's still enough depth at the position to get solid production in the middle-to-late rounds of your draft.
