Sudden death, one batter at a time. Keep going deep and you stay in the box. The first one to come up empty takes the last pick, the next one out takes the pick before that, and so on up the board. Last one standing takes pick 1.
How weighted odds work. Give each manager ping-pong balls, from 1 up to the number of teams in the league (16 max). Every ball is one entry in the draw. Pick 1 is drawn first, then pick 2 from the balls that are left, and so on down the board. More balls means better odds at every pick, never a guarantee. The draw happens the moment the first pitch is thrown, and the Derby plays out that order.

Fantasy baseball draft order generator
Dinger Derby settles your fantasy baseball draft order with a sudden-death home run derby. One batter at a time: go deep and you stay in the box, come up empty and you take the worst pick left on the board. The last batter standing gets the first overall pick.
Every swing carries the same odds, whoever is at the plate. Turn on a weighted draft lottery if your league wants one, then send the replay link to your league chat.
Questions
How do I randomize a fantasy baseball draft order?
Add your managers, pick equal or weighted odds, and press "Play ball!" The derby plays out live and settles the full draft order.
Does it work for keeper and dynasty leagues?
Yes. Use weighted odds to favor the teams your league rules say should pick earlier, or decide draft slot choice order instead.
