A home run game for friends.
Pick your sluggers. Only HRs count. Play with friends through the World Series.
Fantasy baseball without the homework.
You don't need to know anyone's WHIP. No need to understand WAR or OPS+ or BABIP. No setting a pitching rotation, streaming relievers, or agonizing over your utility slot.
You need to know one thing: did your guy hit a home run?
Wallop strips fantasy baseball down to the thing everyone at the ballpark stands up for: the longball, the dinger, the wallop.
There are no weekly matchups. No head-to-head records. No wins and losses. It's a season-long race to the highest points total—and with postseason multipliers, the lead can change on any October swing.
How it works
- Draft Pick six MLB hitters in a snake draft with your league. No positions, no pitchers.
- Set your lineup Four active, one bench, one DL. Pre-set your lineup for the week or fiddle with it daily to your heart's content.
- Score home runs Every home run an active player hits earns a point. Grand slams, walk-offs and postseason homers are worth more.
- Play through October Grab players likely to make the postseason—bonus points mean anyone can come from behind to win it all.
Free to start. $26 per league to play the season.
Form your league, draft your teams, set your lineups — all before paying a thing. One payment unlocks scoring for every team through the World Series.
The long game
From draft day through the final out of the World Series, a Wallop season unfolds over seven months.
Draft your six hitters and set your opening lineup.
Every home run counts. Work the waiver wire, ride hot streaks, and watch the standings.
All-Star week. Every roster slot scores—and the Home Run Derby is worth bonus points.
Rosters freeze the first week of September. Choose wisely—you're betting on who makes the postseason.
All six roster slots activate. Postseason homers are worth double and triple. Anyone can win it.
You're never out of it. A grand slam in the World Series is worth seven points.
The fine print
- How much time does this take?
- A few decisions a week. Set your lineup on Monday, adjust your waiver list by Sunday. That's it.
- How many people can play?
- 3 to 10 per league. With no head-to-head matchups, odd numbers work just as well as even.
- What does it cost?
- $26 per league for the 2026 season. One person pays, everyone plays. No subscriptions, no per-player fees. You can draft and set up your league before paying — payment unlocks scoring and standings once the season starts.
- When does the season start?
- Opening Day is March 25, 2026 but you can start a league and draft any time before September.
- This sounds familiar. Where do I know it from?
- Probably a Grantland article from 2011 about a family's home run league. That ruleset is our gameplay touchstone — a format tested across real seasons with real arguments about roster moves. We built Wallop to let anyone run that league.
- Are there public Wallop leagues?
- No. Wallop is meant to be more personal than being dumped into a draft room with a bunch of strangers. It's a low-key excuse to stay in regular touch with friends, family or coworkers. At minimum you need only two contacts who are vaguely interested in baseball to form a league.
- Can scoring for my Wallop league be customized?
- Not at this time. Wallop is opinionated in its gameplay. We think it's an engaging set of defaults. Plus, when everyone plays by the same rules — later in the season — it will allow for cross-league team leaderboards (based on league size).
- Where are the full rules?
- The Official Rulebook has everything — scoring tables, roster slots, waiver mechanics, tiebreakers.
