Pick The Stick is a daily MLB fantasy challenge where you select one batter each day and earn points based on their real game performance. Compete in a private league with friends or join a public league — the best picker over the season wins.
- Create an account. Sign up with your email — your picks and scores are tied to your account all season long.
- Join or create a league. Start your own league and invite friends with a code, or join an existing public league. League creators configure custom scoring rules before the season begins.
- Choose your team. Select the MLB team your league is focused on — this determines which players appear in your pick list.
Every game day you choose one batter from the available lineup. The pick window closes at first pitch — no late entries allowed.
Your league defines a custom point value for every batting stat. Points add up (or down) based on your picked player's real box-score stats that day.
Point values shown are defaults. Your league may use different values — check your league settings to see the exact scoring.
Each player gets a limited number of Double Points plays per season (default: 5). When you activate Lightning on a pick, your entire score for that day is multiplied by 2×.
The home dashboard shows real-time stats as games are played — watch your player's singles, homers, and strikeouts update live without refreshing.
