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)
Grand Theft Votto (Grand Theft Auto/Joey Votto)- Joey Votto isn’t the same player he once was, but he still has one of the best fantasy baseball team name opportunities.
Acuna Matata (Lion King/Ronald Acuna Jr.)- Fans of the Lion King and a young star of the game, this is the team name to go with.
Duvall Stars (Adam Duvall)- Duvall is a player with a lot of different team names to play off of.
Eovaldi the Rite of Spring (Antonio Vivaldi/Nathan Eovaldi)- If there are any fans of classic music, this team name can be used.
Yu Like That? (Yu Darvish)- With a player name like Yu Darvish, there are so many fantasy team names available.
Beliebers (Justin Bieber/Shane Bieber)- Shane Bieber has already played into the fact that he has the same name as Justin Bieber.

Upton Here, Upton Here (Justin Upton/B.J. Upton/DMX)- Everyone has seen the memes of Justin and B.J. Upton being used as lyrics to the famous DMX song.
Walker Texas Rangers (Walker Buehler)- Anyone with the first name Walker has to be thinking of the throwback television show Walker Texas Ranger.
May Day (Dustin May/Trevor May)- A team that has both May players needs to make a pun off of their names.

Barnes and Noble (Austin Barnes/Barnes and Nobles)- Bookstores are going out of business, but Austin Barnes isn’t.
Lux be a Lady Tonight (Frank Sinatra/Gavin Lux)- Any chance Frank Sinatra can be used, he should.

Wheelin’ and Dealin’ (Zack Wheeler)- Wheeler needs to be dealing at his best for the Phillies this year.
For Whom the Bell Tolls (Metallica/Josh Bell)- Yes, For Whom the Bell Tolls reaches way back, but Metallica’s song is the most recent version to relate to.
All that Yaz (Mike Yastrzemski)- Just like his grandfather Carl Yastrzemski, Yaz is a great nickname.
Ponce De Leon’s Fountain of Youth (Daniel Ponce De Leon)- Ponce De Leon found the “fountain of youth”, and Daniel Ponce De Leon pitches for the Cardinals. Who knows what the bigger accomplishment is?
