My overall prospect rankings are already out on FantasyPros, but if you want to know who I think will provide the most positive impact for your fantasy teams for re-draft, this is the article for you! The fScores do a pretty solid job at navigating expected playing time for rookies, as I adjust with averages of my expectations against the player’s past durability, the player’s expected level to start the season and average playing time as projected by Steamer – so the fScores will be our primary guide to 2025 effectiveness.

These prospect rankings are based on FANTASY value, not on real life value. Considering such, hitters generally weigh a bit heavier for me due to the injury risk and higher volatility of prospect pitchers. Proximity to the majors is also prominent in the equation, though these rankings are taking a longer-term / dynasty look on these guys (think of it more as a 5 year plan).

If you are curious about the fScore ratings you can check out my fScore rankings and information on the fScores by following THIS LINK. My Top 150 Prospect Rankings are in the works, but will be out by the end of January.

NOTE: Rookie status is determined by 130 ABs, or 50 IPs at the Major League level.

Full Top 150 Prospect Rankings:

• Prospects 1-25
• Prospects 26-50
• Prospects 51-75
• Prospects 76-100
• Prospects 101 – 125
• Prospects 126-150

Jasson Dominguez (OF – Yankees)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .314/.376/.504 | 8.8 BB%, 20 K% | 20 XBH, 11 HR, 16 SB (58 games)
• 2024 MLB: .179/.313/.304 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 5 SB (56 ABs)
• Age: 22
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted 2023)
• fScores: 97 fContact, 107 fDiscipline, 123 fPower, 191 fSpeed
• Comp: Switch hitting Mookie Betts-light
• Prime Skills: Dominguez has top-notch plate skills, while also demonstrating he can be a game-changer on the base paths. He smashes pitches high in the zone from both sides of the plate, but needs to work on lifting pitches low in the zone instead of bashing them into the ground (56.7 GB% in his career in MLB).
• Ranking Explanation: Dominguez posts above average EVs (107.5 90th percentile EV in AAA) and had a great 87.9% Z-contact% at AAA in 2024, so he smashes anything in the zone consistently. He had much better launch angles in the minors averaging in the 11-12 degree range which optimizes his power and provides a nice backdrop against the smaller sample size, bad major league ground ball rates. Dominguez will get full time run this season for the Yankees and will have ample opportunity to live up to his nickname, the Martian.
• Top 150 Rank: 1
• fScore Re-Draft Rank: #33 OF

Chase DeLauter (OF – Guardians)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .261/.341/.500 | 11.6 BB%, 13.4 K% | 18 XBH, 8 HR, 1 SB (39 games)
• Age: 23
• ETA: Early 2025
• fScores: 98 fContact, 116 fDiscipline, 94 fPower, 90 fSpeed
• Comp: Josh Lowe and lefty Matt Holliday mash
• Prime Skills: He’s shown a really strong hit tool and has some unrealized power in his small sample size at the minor league level. The pull power from his college days is tantalizing. Coming off injury, we just need to see some health from this doubles machine, but he’s only played 96 games the last two seasons… though with 32 doubles in those 96 games.
• Ranking Explanation: DeLauter just can’t stay healthy and that’s tanked his prospect profile a bit for me. I’m back on him again now with a new year, but I’m extremely hesitant the health holds up. All he has to do is beat Will Brennan to break camp and I’m more positive about this happening after speaking to some other people in the industry, hence the bump up in these rankings from January
• Top 150 Rank: 31
• Re-Draft Rank: #93 OF
• NFBC ADP: 499.93

Nick Kurtz (1B – Athletics)

• 2024 College: .306/.531/.763 | 34 XBH, 22 HR, 4 SB
• 2024 A/AA: .368/.520/.763 | 24 BB%, 20 K% | 7 XBH, 4 HR, 1 SB
• Age: 22
• ETA: Early 2025
• fScores: 106 fContact, 129 fDiscipline, 115 fPower, 86 fSpeed
• Comp: Joey Votto-esk profile
• Prime Skills: Big time plate skills with above average power and a very solid hit tool. Think Kyle Manzardo with more power and a higher ceiling on the hit tool. He was a beast in his limited debut and returned in the Arizona Fall League from a hamstring injury.
• Ranking Explanation: Kurtz is getting an Athletics bump for me surprisingly, because if you haven’t noticed they have been right on the dot with developing the players they drafted over the last few years. I trust the hit tool and plate skills, obviously the fScores love him and I think he will be a beast in points leagues for a long time forward. The Athletics seem to be a serious team this year, which means Nick Kurtz could be up sooner than expected, especially if Tyler Soderstrom has more strikeout issues. I would be surprised if he breaks camp, but I think he will be up post super 2 based on how aggressive the team seems to have become and based on his Wyatt Langford-like performance post-draft in 2024.
• Top 150 Rank: 16
