Right here’s a hyperlink to the Prime 75 Prospects For Dynasty Fantasy Baseball.
Workforce Place Participant | Age on 4/1/2025 | Highest Stage Performed | ETA
76. Mariners SS Colt Emerson | 19 | A+ | 2026
After the success of Cole Younger, the Mariners went for the same prospect on the 22 spot within the 2023 draft: Colt Emerson, a left-handed hitting center infielder at 6’1” 195 lbs with wonderful palms within the batter’s field. He got here roaring out of the gate in his draft season however battled damage in 2024, lacking two stretches and enjoying 70 video games complete, the ultimate 29 coming at Excessive-A, the place Emerson was overmatched for the primary time as a professional, slashing .225/.331/.317 with two dwelling runs and 9 stolen bases. In case you’re taking a look at this rating and pondering he’s method higher than most guys you discover within the sixth spot, you’re proper. The Mariners have a handful of fifty’s right here; you could possibly toggle them three-through-six to your specs.
77. Royals OF Jac Caglianone | 22 | A+ | 2026
Introduced as a two-way participant on draft evening, Caglianone was deployed first within the execs as a full-time hitter after slashing .419/.544/.875 with 35 dwelling runs in 66 video games for Florida. The well-developed, left-handed faculty bat made a pleasant match at sixth general for a Royals workforce on the rise. With Vinnie P on the gradual nook, Caglianone might maybe pretend left discipline till he figured it out if crucial. The arm would even play in proper as soon as he’s accustomed to the angles, however at 6’5” 250 lbs, he might not have the mobility to be taught on the fly on the market. He didn’t blow the doorways off the leagues he’s performed as a professional however did pop 5 homers in 21 video games within the Arizona Fall League.
78. Rockies 3B Charlie Condon | 21 | A+ | 2026
The 6’6” Condon mashed 37 homers in his junior season whereas slashing .433.556/.1009 regardless of SEC pitchers doing their greatest to work round him. Issues didn’t go as properly after Colorado chosen him third general on this 12 months’s draft. I used to be just a little shocked to see him slash .180/.248/.270 with 34 strikeouts in 25 Excessive-A video games. May create a little bit of a buy-low window in First-12 months-Participant Drafts this winter.
79. Tigers SS Bryce Rainer | 19 | NA | 2029
The eleventh general decide within the 2024 draft, Rainer is a left-handed hitting shortstop at 6’3” 195 lbs who has earned comparisons to Corey Seager together with his simple opposite-field flick. He would possibly even be a step faster within the discipline than Seager was at his age. Who’s to say if he retains the foot pace as he ages into his physique, however he’s a high-probability shortstop for now with all of the instruments to be an affect massive leaguer wherever he winds up on protection.
80. Cardinals SS Yairo Padilla | 17 | DSL | 2029
A change hitter at six-feet, 170 lbs, Padilla performs a plus shortstop and slashed .287/.391/.404 with one dwelling runs and 22 stolen bases in 35 video games. I drafted him with the 1.30 decide within the Razz 30, for what it’s Werth, as a result of that spectacular line doesn’t even inform the story of Padilla’s season. He struck out 17.9 p.c of the time with a ten.5 p.c stroll fee in 35 video games within the Dominican Summer time League, and through his greatest stretch (the center 20 video games of his season), he slashed .364/.438/.481 with one homer and 19 steals.
81. Diamondbacks C Adrian Del Castillo | 25 | MLB | 2024
A robust lefty bat at 5’11” 208, ADC hit 30 dwelling runs in 130 video games throughout the highest two ranges this season. Even slashed .313/.368/.525 with 4 of these dwelling runs throughout his 25-game MLB stint. He performed catcher in 24 of these video games, and positive, he struck out 32.2 p.c of the time within the majors, however he’s sometimes managed the zone and minimized strikeouts all through his baseball life. I think he’ll be capable to regulate together with the pitchers.
82. Guardians SS Welbyn Francisca | 18 | A | 2027
Right here’s what I wrote on July 10 in Prospect Information: Angel The Guardian or Jesus Made Me Do It:
“Coming off a powerful debut season within the DSL wherein he began scorching however light late, switch-hitting Guardians SS Welbyn Francisca (18, CPX) has flipped the sequence this season. He was okay early however has heated up with the climate, slashing .442/.520/.674 with three dwelling runs and three steals in his final ten video games. He’s heading in the right direction to be a near-consensus Prime 100 prospect heading into 2025.”
First takeaway right here is I hope you added Jesus Made that day the place he was obtainable.
Although if you happen to solely had one spot and selected Francisca, you probably did simply tremendous. He made the leap to Low-A on July 30 and slashed .325/.402/.402 with one dwelling run and 9 stolen bases in 29 video games, good for a 141 wRC+. Relying on how the weight-training goes this winter, Cleveland would possibly wave him proper alongside to Excessive-A, however as he’s listed at 5’8” 148 lbs, they may need to pump the brakes a bit and provides him time so as to add power.
83. Cubs RHP Porter Hodge | 24 | MLB | 2024
Hodge’s statcast web page is a deep purple, particularly his 97th percentile extension and top-of-the-scale xBA. All over the place you look, you’ll find assist that his WHIP of 0.88 could be replicated shifting ahead. He was an efficient rookie nearer even with an 11.6 p.c stroll fee, so there would possibly even be just a little upside if he can repeat his supply higher shifting ahead. Additionally, I understand he’s ranked too excessive right here for lots of people, however take into consideration what you’d commerce for a younger, dominant nearer if you happen to wanted one. Appears to me that Pressly is shot.
84. Dodgers SS Alex Freeland | 23 | AAA | 2025
Very first thing’s first, land ain’t free. You gotta earn your little spot of land on this roster. A switch-hitter at 6’2” 200 lbs, Freeland was a third-round select of Central Florida in 2022 and has added power throughout his time as knowledgeable, resulting in a breakout season that noticed him play at three ranges and slash .260/.387/.442 with 18 dwelling runs and 31 steals in 136 video games.
85. Marlins 1B Deyvison De Los Santos | 21 | AAA | 2025
We might quibble with how he will get it finished and the way he’ll handle in Miami, however the backside line is: the dentist hit 40 dwelling runs this season throughout two ranges for 2 organizations enjoying nearly solely in opposition to a lot older gamers and slashing .294/.343/.571 with 120 RBI. Storm cloud coming in: he did hit .240 with a 284 on base share in 50 video games with the fish, who’ve floundered with regards to growing hitters.
86. Cardinals LHP Quinn Mathews | 24 | AAA | 2025
A fourth-round decide in 2023, Mathews’ journey in 2024 coated 4 stops, from 30.2 innings with a 1.47 ERA in Low-A to a 2.68 in Excessive-A to a 2.41 in Double-A after which lastly a stumble in 4 Triple-A begins to shut the season, leaving him with a 6.48 ERA in 16.2 innings on the doorstep to the majors. At 6’5” 188 lbs, Mathews deploys a plus changeup he can spot everywhere in the zone to arrange his stable trio of fastball, curveball, and slider. The most important determinant of his future will most likely be the stickiness of the speed bump he loved in 2024, when he pushed his low-90s heater as much as 97 at instances. There’s fairly massive upside right here if he can hold including mph, which appears possible given the room remaining on his body.
87. Tigers C Josue Briceño | 20 | A | 2026
Right here’s what I wrote in Prospect Information: Arizona Fall League Wrap Up or The Painter Plan:
“Tigers C Josue Briceño gained the triple crown, a primary for the AFL, slashing .433/.509/.867 with ten dwelling runs and 27 RBI in 25 video games. He appeared good throughout his 40 video games in Low-A this season, posting a .381 on base share and 14.8 p.c strikeout fee, however he solely hit two dwelling runs. If he’d been wholesome all season, he would most likely open 2025 in Double-A, and I anticipate this Arizona explosion accelerated his timeline no less than just a little. He’ll get a glance with the large boys in spring coaching, and if he performs properly there, he’ll be on the escalator together with his bat racing his behind-the-plate recreation to the present. He’s a giant dude at 6’4” 200 lbs, so he may not be donning the instruments of ignorance for for much longer.”
88. Marlins LHP Thomas White | 20 | A+ | 2026
In 13 Excessive-A begins masking 62 innings, White recorded a 2.61 ERA and 1.16 WHIP in opposition to opponents who had been, on common, 4.1 years his senior, the equal of a school freshman hitting the job market in opposition to faculty graduates and first-year professionals. At 6’5” 210 lbs, White wields the form of stuff that will work in opposition to anyone: a mid-90’s fastball, a picturesque curve and disappearing changeup. It’s particularly perilous for left-handed hitters, and as Blake Snell has confirmed, if you happen to can get rid of lefties, you’re method forward earlier than the sport begins.
89. Cubs OF Owen Caissie | 22 | AAA | 2025
Mighty Caissie checks in at 6’3” 190 lbs with double-plus energy from the left aspect as a hitter. Within the discipline, he’s a right-handed throwing nook outfielder who needs to be tremendous in proper or left. Caissie struggled to make contact for little stretches of the season however obtained scorching late within the season, slashing .341/.423/.637 with six dwelling runs and two steals over his final 23 video games. His 28.4 p.c strikeout fee in 127 Triple-A video games was an enchancment on the 31.1 p.c he posted in 120 Double-A video games final 12 months and gives some encouragement that he would possibly shock on that entrance given sufficient time to adapt. He additionally stole 11 bases this 12 months in 13 makes an attempt after getting caught 9 instances in 16 makes an attempt final 12 months.
90. Rockies RHP Chase Dollander | 23 | AA | 2025
Dollander was on observe to contend for high general draft decide as a Tennessee sophomore with a 10-and-0 document alongside a 2.39 ERA and 0.79 WHIP throughout 79 innings. His junior season was a wrestle (4.75 ERA, 1.20 WHIP throughout 89 innings), however he nonetheless went ninth general to the Rockies within the 2023 draft. It’s confirmed to be a wise choice to date. Dollander closed out the 2024 season with 48 innings throughout 9 Double-A begins, recording a 2.25 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with 58 strikeouts. Rockies pitchers are sometimes dropping playing cards for our recreation, however the discipline has performed extra sporadically over the previous few seasons, so I feel there’s an opportunity for Dollander to discover a method to navigate it because of plus command of a various, lab-compliant arsenal of fastball, curveball, changeup, slider.
91. Diamondbacks OF Druw Jones | 21 | A | 2027
The second general decide within the 2022 draft, Jones suffered a shoulder damage earlier than his first skilled at bat, the primary omen for a profession haunted by accidents till 2024. This 12 months, Jones performed 109 video games at Low-A and slashed .275/.409/.405 with six dwelling runs and 21 stolen bases. That’s good however not the stuff that dynasty desires are product of. From a mechanical perspective, I don’t like his swing. His entrance foot steps towards the plate and cuts off his rotational explosion. May definitely be adjusted, however he’ll want a bunch of wholesome reps to make that occur.
92. Mets RHP Brandon Sproat | 24 | AAA | 2025
At 6’3” 215 lbs, Sproat is robust and balanced all through his supply, which has helped him to develop command of his spectacular arsenal, highlighted by a mid-90’s fastball that performs properly up within the zone and pairs properly together with his cutter, slider and changeup, all stable pitches in their very own proper. The curveball would permit him to play in 4 velocity bands with 5 trajectories, however three and 4 are most likely sufficient for him to thrive if his command retains coming alongside. May be greatest to simply shelve the curve for now.
93. Diamondbacks 3B Gino Groover | 22 | AA | 2025
Right here’s what I wrote September in Prospect Information: Groover’s In The Coronary heart or Valera Morghulis:
“A second spherical decide in 2023, Groover struck out simply 13.7 p.c of the time in his 40 Excessive-A video games and went 4-for-5 in his Double-A debut. He would possibly cruise proper by means of that league and open subsequent season in Triple-A.”
Properly, in 13 Double-A video games, Groover slashed .340/.400/.600 with three dwelling runs, 9 strikeouts and one stolen base. His affected person strategy and quick palms on the plate pair with plus energy and provides the 6’1” 212 lb Groover an opportunity to be a middle-order bat.
94. Pink Sox SS Yoelin Cespedes | 19 | CPX | 2028
Cespedes signed for $1.4 million in 2023, the very best bonus Boston gave out that 12 months. A powderkeg of an athlete at 5’8” 181 lbs, Cespedes generates plus energy and has an inherent ability for locating the ball with the barrel, as he demonstrated in slashing .319/.400/.615 with 5 dwelling runs and three stolen bases throughout 25 video games on the complicated. He and Arias kind the present of one other wave of position-player expertise cresting only a cycle behind the group that’ll be prepared in 2025.
95. Pirates 2B Termarr Johnson | 20 | A+ | 2026
The 4th general decide in 2022, Johnson posted one other stable season in 2024, posting a 123 wRC+ in 110 Excessive-A video games. He completed the season with 14 Double-A video games and logged a 98 wRC+ there. The outcomes have all the time been constructive, however the best way he will get there isn’t precisely typical. Listed at 5’7” 175 lbs, Johnson employs a crouch from the left aspect and will get essentially the most out of his tiny strike zone through excessive endurance. He did handle 15 dwelling runs and 22 stolen bases in 124 video games throughout two ranges, however I’m hesitant right here as a result of I don’t all the time love the extreme-patience strategy.
96. Padres C Ethan Salas | 18 | AA | 2026
At 6’2” 185 lbs, Salas strikes easily behind the dish whereas receiving and framing with a deft contact that’s a decade past his years. With a bat in his palms, he’s a harmful lefty energy hitter with a discerning eye. He’s a powerful prospect for the actual recreation. Simply not a great constructing block for us after slashing .206/.288/.311 with 4 dwelling runs in 111 Excessive-A video games.
97. Twins RHP Andrew Morris | 23 | AAA | 2025
Morris will get extra velocity than a variety of high-angle arms, a testomony to the athleticism in his 6’0” 195 lb body. One sneaky side of his recreation is that he’s thrown a variety of innings (482.1) between faculty and the professionals, which gives just a little perception as to how he repeats a novel supply with such consistency. From the Nolan Ryan faculty of pitching: how do you be taught to throw a variety of innings? You throw a variety of innings. In 133 innings throughout three ranges in 2024, Morris went 10-and-5 with a 2.37 ERA and 1.08 WHIP on the power of a plus fastball with experience and a stable slider he can spot the place he desires in any rely.
98. Marlins LHP Robby Snelling | 21 | AAA | 2025
Snelling was higher with Miami than he had been with San Diego, posting a 2.92 FIP and 20.3 p.c strikeout-minus-walk fee in eight begins masking 42 innings throughout two ranges. His last begin of the season was additionally his Triple-A debut. He allowed one run on seven hits throughout six innings whereas recording seven strikeouts in opposition to one stroll. To this point in his profession, he’s introduced a reasonably normal look from the left aspect with spotty command of a three-pitch arsenal (fastball, slider, changeup), however I’d anticipate that changeup to come back alongside in Miami and his stability (and command) to enhance by means of repetition, instruction and athleticism. Lefties come alongside just a little later, partly as a result of they don’t run right into a left-handed pitching coach (or teammate who can assist) till later of their lives and don’t face many high quality left-handed hitters till they attain faculty, or in Snelling’s case, the professionals.
99. Tigers 2B Jace Jung | 24 | MLB | 2024
A left-handed hitter at 6’0” 205 lbs, Jung hit 28 homers in 128 video games throughout two ranges in 2023, slashing .265/.376/.502. He hit 14 dwelling runs at every degree however did so in simply 47 video games at Double-A. The twelfth general decide in 2022, he’ll be working proper behind Colt Keith if Keith can’t work out the way to prepare dinner at second base. Have I discussed that this method is loaded? I don’t suppose I’ve, however I’ve been occupied with all of it week. They need to be in competition subsequent 12 months on the newest.
Jung didn’t precisely drive his method to the majors, slashing .257/.377/.454 in 91 Triple-A video games, however he posted a fairly helpful .362 on base share in 34 MLB video games to assist Detroit’s playoff push. He slugged simply .304 over that stretch, however he was contributing powerful at bats in high-stress spots, which speaks properly of his probabilities to seize a lineup spot even on a very good workforce.
100. Marlins RHP Noble Meyer | 20 | A+ | 2026
The tenth general decide in 2023, Meyer’s 2024 numbers needs to be considered by means of the identical age-to-level prism as White’s. His 5.18 ERA and 1.43 WHIP in 40 Excessive-A innings aren’t the prettiest sight on the baseball card, however his stuff was adequate to compete with a lot older males, and his supply is easy sufficient that you could map on vital enchancment in command throughout time. He’s at present obtained three choices in his fastball, slider and changeup, and it’s honest to anticipate the changeup to make a leap or two in a company with a observe document of serving to pitchers maximize their cambios.
Thanks for studying!
