Each year there is a struggle to not just field the best team in fantasy baseball, but also have the best team name. Here are good fantasy baseball team names. Most are based on player names. (Note: Some of these names will not be appropriate for everyone. More will be added before the season starts)

Fans of the
Lion King
and a young star of the game, this is the team name to go with.

Eovaldi the Rite of Spring (Antonio Vivaldi/Nathan Eovaldi)- If there are any fans of
classic music, this team name can be used.

has already played into the fact that he has the same name as Justin Bieber.
