Fantasy baseball isn’t just a stats game—it’s a story game. And when it comes to fictional ballplayers, the storylines are bigger, the moments are louder, and the box scores are downright ridiculous.


We broke down the Top 10 most electric single-game performances by movie characters, ranked by fantasy points (lowest to highest). Because yeah, we’re the kind of degenerates who stat out movies.


Let’s get into it.


10. Jake Taylor – Major League

Stat Line: 3-for-4, game-winning bunt single, 1 run, 1 RBI

Fantasy Points: 16


No bombs. No stolen bases. Just an aging catcher who bunts in the biggest moment of his career to knock out the Yankees. Taylor gets the dub with heart and hustle. Not a fantasy monster, but the clutch gene is off the charts.


9. Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez (Pro Version) – The Sandlot

Stat Line: Walk-off steal of home

Fantasy Points: 22 (+bonus for full-circle legend energy)


Benny, all grown up, flashes that legendary speed in the majors—stealing home to win it. Not a gaudy line, but the sheer drama and full-circle payoff make it unforgettable. Give him bonus points for staying true to his game.


8. Ricky “Wild Thing” Vaughn – Major League

Stat Line: 1.1 IP, 3 K, 0 H, 1 save, 100 MPH fastball

Fantasy Points: 26 (+10 bonus for style)


He comes out to his own theme music, strikes out the league’s best hitter, and redeems himself in the postseason. If your league rewards walk-up vibes and redemption arcs, Vaughn’s your closer.


7. Pedro Cerrano – Major League

Stat Line: 2 HR, 4 RBI, 1 epic bat flip

Fantasy Points: 34


After a season of swinging through curveballs, Pedro finally connects—twice. The bat flip alone is worth a fantasy boost. We’re not saying Jobu is fantasy-eligible, but this stat line is pure voodoo magic.


6. Crash Davis – Bull Durham

Stat Line: 2 HR, 4 RBI, minor league HR record broken

Fantasy Points: 33


Crash might be washed, but in one game, he reminds everyone why he’s a legend. Two dingers and a milestone HR record? That’s a fantasy vet doing fantasy vet things. Put respect on the name.


5. Henry Rowengartner – Rookie of the Year

Stat Line: 6 IP, 0 ER, 10 K, 1 pickoff, game-winning floater

Fantasy Points: 32


Middle schooler. Elbow rocket. Wrigley closer. The kid racks up Ks, shuts the door, and tosses a Bugs Bunny floater for the win. Add in the pickoff, and you’ve got a 12-year-old fantasy beast.


4. Dottie Hinson – A League of Their Own

Stat Line: 3-for-5, HR, 4 RBI, 2 runners thrown out

Fantasy Points: 36


Dottie checks every box: power, production, defensive cannon. If your league counts catcher arm strength, she’s leading the league. Might’ve dropped the ball at the end, but not before dropping a top-5 fantasy day.


3. Billy Chapel – For Love of the Game

Stat Line: 9 IP, 0 H, 0 BB, 11 K – perfect game

Fantasy Points: 42


A 40-year-old dropping a perfect game at Yankee Stadium in what might be his final start? That’s fantasy fire. No earned runs, a clean WHIP, and 11 Ks? Vintage ace stuff. Even if he cries in the tunnel afterward.


2. Roy Hobbs – The Natural

Stat Line: 3-for-4, GW HR into the lights, 5 RBI, 1 shattered bat

Fantasy Points: 48


He literally explodes the stadium. You don’t come back from bleeding out and launch a moonshot like that without God-tier bat speed. Wonderboy might’ve broken, but Roy broke the scoreboard. Cinematic and fantasy excellence in one swing.


1. Benny “The Jet” Rodriguez – The Sandlot

Stat Line: 4-for-4, 2 HR, 3 SB, fence escape from Hercules

Fantasy Points:  Fifty-friggin’-eight.


Benny owns the Sandlot. Two homers, three steals, and a full sprint from a giant dog to save a Babe Ruth ball? This is what happens when baseball meets legend. He’s five-tool in PF Flyers. First overall pick in any league with a soul.



Honorable Mentions:

Stan Ross (Mr. 3000) – Clutch late-career effort. Doesn’t break the top 10 but earns your respect.

Ray Kinsella (Field of Dreams) – Doesn’t swing a bat, but summons an entire team from the corn. Fantasy points: spiritual.



Fantasy baseball is built on numbers—but these movie moments are bigger than stats. They’re iconic, emotional, and just plain fun. So the next time you’re sweating over a waiver-wire pickup, ask yourself: What would Roy Hobbs do?
