This is the third offseason iteration of this article. It has evolved throughout spring training as we have seen how aggressive or conservative some teams will be with their prospects in 2025.

My overall prospect fantasy baseball rankings are already out on FantasyPros, but if you want to know who I think will provide the most positive impact for your redraft fantasy teams, 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, the fScores will be our primary guide to 2025 effectiveness.

These prospect rankings are based on fantasy value, not 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 prospect fantasy baseball rankings are focused on long-term/dynasty outlooks. Think of these rankings as more of a five-year plan.

I will reference my overall redraft rankings hand-in-hand with the player’s overall prospect ranking to give you a nice middle ground to read through between short-term and long-term value. I’ve also included Roki Sasaki in this ranking purely for context, but I will give you a bonus 26th prospect to make up for it for those who do not subscribe to the theory of international players counting as prospects.

Top 25 Prospect Rankings for Redraft

Cheat No. 1 Roki Sasaki (SP – LAD)

• 2024 Japan: 111 IP | 129 Ks, 32 BBs | 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP
• 2025 ST: 7 IP | 7 Ks, 3 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.86 WHIP
• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day 2025
• fScores: 118 fStuff, 107 fControl, 128 fERA
• Comp: Bryce Miller-esque with better stuff
• Prime Skills: Roki Sasaki throws 100 miles per hour (MPH) at the top of his velocity, but has been hovering closer to 97 MPH of late. He pairs his fastball with the Japanese staple sick splitter and a very nice slider.
• Ranking Explanation: Sasaki is a top-35 starter entering 2025 and has top-10 pitcher upside for fantasy. I’m not going to make the same mistake as I did with Paul Skenes. Sasaki is the easy No. 1-ranked player if you include him, but I think this is cheating, so I’m going to give you 25 more actual prospects.

1. Jasson Dominguez (OF – NYY)

• 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)
• 2025 ST: .256/.289/.512 | 4.4 BB%, 26.7 K% | 4 XBH, 3 HR, 2 SB (43 ABs)
• Age: 22
  
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted 2023)
• fScores: 97 fContact, 107 fDiscipline, 123 fPower, 191 fSpeed
• Comp: Switch-hitting Mookie Betts-lite
• Prime Skills: Jasson 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% career MLB ground ball rate).
• Ranking Explanation: Dominguez posts above-average exit velocities (107.5 90th percentile exit velocity 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 degrees range. This optimizes his power and provides a nice backdrop against the smaller sample size and bad major league ground ball rates. Dominguez should get a full-time run this season for the Yankees and will have ample opportunity to live up to his nickname – The Martian.

2. Kristian Campbell (2B, OF – BOS)

• 2024 A+/AA/AAA: .330/.439/.558 | 14.3 BB% / 19.9 K% | 55 XBH, 20 HR, 24 SB
• 2025 ST: .167/.286/.222 | 14.3 BB%, 35.7 K% | 0 HR, 0 SB (36 ABs on fangraphs – I guess they don’t count the Spring Breakout homer or the steal he had on the swim move the other day)
• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day
• fScores: 103 fContact, 126 fDiscipline, 103 fPower, 138 fSpeed
• Comp: Bigger Gleyber Torres with more speed and better plate skills
• Prime Skills: Kristian Campbell is a big righty who was drafted in the fourth round out of Georgia Tech in 2024. He has a killer hit tool (90.8% Z-Contact% at AAA) to pair with a 20/20-like profile. He has a big frame with a pretty sweet swing and has shown more power than the scouting grades have given him, especially from the pull side. He has not shown off his 60-grade speed on the base paths yet, but there are more bags under him if the situation allows.
• Ranking Explanation: Campbell is a guy I thought I was going to be stealthy on, but he just kept hitting and made himself impossible to ignore to the rest of the fantasy baseball prospect scouting crowd. I had been targeting him more as a top 10-15 type prospect until I ran his fScores. He has a good shot at breaking camp on Opening Day in a lineup short of righty bats. Campbell could be an immediate success based on the superior plate skills and hit tool he has demonstrated. He’s a high-floor 20/20-type who can hit .270 or better out of the gate. I had some big concerns once the Red Sox brought in Alex Bregman, but it appears Campbell is the favorite to start at second base to break camp and Bregman will be at third.

3. Dylan Crews (OF – WSH)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .270/.339/.451 | 8 BB%, 25.8 K% | 40 XBH, 13 HR, 25 SB
• 2024 MLB: .218/.288/.353 | 8.3 BB%, 19.7 K% | 9 XBH, 3 HR, 12 SB
• 2025 ST: .300/.404/.350 | 14.9 BB%, 25.5 K% | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 3 SB (40 ABs)
• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted 2024)
• fScores: 92 fContact, 88 fDiscipline, 87 fPower, 171 fSpeed
• Comp: Nick Castellanos with speed
• Prime Skills: Dylan Crews has great all-fields power. He’s a good defender and has a great eye at the plate. The speed is slightly above average (he has improved this aspect of his game since last season. Crews is more of an all-around extra-base hits/damage guy than a home run threat.
• Ranking Explanation: The higher-end exit velocities aren’t as strong as I was expecting from him coming out of college (though he does have nice average exit velocities (89 in MLB, 90.2 in AAA. At AAA, he was running only average plate skills, but there is much more power in this bat and I expect the contact rates to improve as he gets more playing time at the Major League level. The speed may be the calling card for the 2025 season, though. I’m still not too concerned about the lack of power after spring training. Despite the great slash line, I believe Campbell still has a superior hit tool and plate skills to Crews, thus a greater chance at consistent success.

4. Matt Shaw (2B, 3B – CHC)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .284/.379/.488 | 11.9 BB%, 18.2 K% | 44 XBH, 21 HR, 31 SB
• 2025 ST: .313/.421/.375 | 15.8 BB%, 5.3 K% | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB (16 ABs)
• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day
• fScores: 95 fContact, 86 fDiscipline, 96 fPower, 168 fSpeed
• Comp: Jonathan India with more speed
• Prime Skills: Matt Shaw has a solid plate approach that should develop as he gets time in the bigs with above-average power and speed. For 2025 fantasy, think of Colt Keith’s production plus 25 steals or so. He could be one of the better second basemen in the majors sooner rather than later (if he gets to play there rather than at third base). He has the power and speed combo to put up some 20/20-type seasons. Shaw works to some good launch angles (14.4 average launch angle) that should help the bat play up.
• Ranking Explanation: Shaw is currently expected to break camp as the Cubs’ starting third baseman after they moved Isaac Paredes and Cam Smith and missed out on Bregman. With a full season, I would expect a .240-ish batting average with 15-18 bombs and 25-ish steals, which is very useful in most fantasy formats. Shaw already started the opening series in Japan, so he appears locked in for the entire season.

5. Jackson Jobe (SP – DET)

• 2024 AA: 91 2/3 IP | 13.6 K-BB% 12.3 SwStr%, 30.5 CSW% | 2.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP
• 2024 MLB: 4 IP | 6.3 K-BB%, 4.2 SwStr%, 25 CSW% | 0.00 ERA, 0.50 WHIP
• 2025 ST: 12 1/3 IP | 8.7 K-BB%, 8.1 SwStr%, 25 CSW% | 3.65 ERA, 0.89 WHIP
• Age: 22
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 100 fStuff, 99 fControl, 110 fERA
• Comp: George Kirby
• Prime Skills: Jackson Jobe has an excellent command of his pitches for someone his age and has a ton of spin on his pitches. The fastball is riding as an above-average pitch, but it allows him to use his elite slider to get strikeouts. The walk rate is higher this year, but I think it’s an aberration and wouldn’t be too concerned. There seems to be a bit of a pitch mix issue in why his killer stuff has not played as well as it should.
• Ranking Explanation: A large part of Jobe’s appeal when he was moving up my rankings was his excellent command and the plus-four pitch mix. However, he was not generating strikeouts at the level he should have and had some walk issues at the higher levels of the minors. He is more of a lock to break camp than Campbell, but I’ll always go with the hitter. There’s a possibility Jobe needs more development to sharpen his pitch-mix. I expect the stuff to play better in 2025 and will ignore the lower fScores a bit. Love the new curveball, but the big thing will be if the command bounces back after a down 2024 — it did look better in spring training and his short Major League stint last year. For some reason, however, he’s not generating swinging strikes on his stuff.

6. Jordan Lawlar (SS – ARI)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .318/.417/.485 | 9 XBH, 2 HR, 6 SB (23 games)
• 2025 ST: .294/.368/.529 | 10.5 BB%, 21.1 K% | 5 XBH, 1 HR, 2 SB (34 ABs)
• Age: 22
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 100 fContact, 104 fDiscipline, 93 fPower, 168 fSpeed
• Comp: Trea Turner-light with some Derek Jeter
• Prime Skills: Jordan Lawlar has a nice power swing, but it may impact his contact ability in the majors. He has all-fields power and ridiculous speed. He’s a very aggressive baserunner and puts himself in good positions to make things happen on top of having way above-average plate discipline for his age.
• Ranking Explanation: The power, speed and enough of a hit tool are here to build up a very intriguing player for fantasy purposes and a potential top-end player. However, he was hurt for the majority of 2024, which puts a slight damper on expectations for someone I previously had ranked as a top-10 prospect. I thought he had a good shot to start until the Diamondbacks signed Geraldo Perdomo to a decent deal, showing they want him at shortstop, so Lawlar is going to have to find a way to make the team now — perhaps as a super-sub. As long as he gets regular at-bats every day I like this more because he will pick up additional positional eligibilities. He’s had a nice spring.

7. Jacob Wilson (SS – ATH)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .433/.473/.668 | 6.2 BB%, 6.6 K% | 35 XBH, 7 HR, 2 SB (53 games)
• 2024 MLB: .250/.314/.315 | 7.8 BB%, 9.7 K% | 4 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB (28 games)
• 2025 ST: .250/.250/.545 | 0.0 BB%, 4.5 K% | 5 XBH, 4 HR, 0 SB (44 ABs)
• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day (Debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 106 fContact, 114 fDiscipline, 60 fPower, 77 fSpeed
• Comp: More athletic Luis Arraez
• Prime Skills: Jacob Wilson was a first-rounder last year. He got the call-up to AAA after decimating AA pitchers. He’s been a doubles machine. It almost looks like he’s been at batting practice since the draft because he’s been generating so many hits. I thought the pick was a reach when the Athletics drafted him, but he’s moving up quickly and is hitting at every level.
• Ranking Explanation: Wilson has the best hit tool of any prospect with an insane 97.4% contact rate and 98.9% Z-contact rate. He won’t produce much from a power or speed standpoint, so that hurts his overall fantasy value (he’s a better real-life player). He will break camp and should hit for a nice batting average and get some runs. We will see maybe a 10/10-type chip in on the power and speed.

8. Quinn Mathews (SP – STL)

• 2024 A/A+/AA/AAA: 143 1/3 IP | 26.8 K-BB%, 16.1 SwStr%, 32.9 CSW% | 2.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP
• Age: 24
• ETA: May / June 2025
• fScores: 107 fStuff, 97 fControl, 133 fERA
• Comp: Cole Ragans-lite
• Prime Skills: Quinn Mathews is a big college lefty with a ridiculous fastball/slider combo and a big fastball sitting between 95-97 MPH with some elite rise to it. The slider is a swing-and-miss machine paired with that fastball. He has an elite command of these pitches and has shown himself in college to be a workhorse. He also has a curveball and a 60/65 grade changeup he didn’t even need when I saw him in Single-A ball.
• Ranking Explanation: Mathews had a bit of a decline in velocity in AAA from when I saw him live earlier in the season, but this is likely just some natural wear from the workload increase, not to mention trying to pitch around the weird AAA oddities like the automated ball-strike system. Mathews scored higher in my fScores than Jobe as he was getting better results, but some of that has to do with his maturity as a pitcher and mixing pitches well. He should spend a large part of 2025 in the big league rotation for the Cardinals, but I doubt he will break camp sans some trades or injuries before the season starts. It seems the Cardinals love him, but they are also acting super cheap right now and are more likely to try to get another year of him. Although it’s entirely possible he still ends up with more innings than Jobe, as he’s likely to stick through the end once he is promoted.

9. Kumar Rocker (SP – TEX)

• 2024 CPX/AA/AAA: 36 2/3 IP | 36 K-BB%, 22 SwStr%, 36.9 CSW% | 1.96 ERA, 0.79 WHIP
• 2024 MLB: 11 2/3 IP | 14.5 K-BB%, 13.3 SwStr%, 28 CSW% | 3.86 ERA, 1.54 WHIP
• 2025 ST: 4 1/3 IP | 0 K-BB%, 9.1 SwStr%, 26.4 CSW% | 22.85 ERA, 3.69 WHIP
• Age: 25
• ETA: Early 2025 (debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 114 fStuff, 104 fControl, 154 fERA
• Comp: Hunter Greene with a better slider but a worse fastball
• Prime Skills: A big boy with a dominant fastball/slider combo, Kumar Rocker throws 97-99 with one of the best hard vertical sliders you will see. There’s a below-average changeup in there, too, he has to throw to mix things up. I have Rocker ranked as a top-60 starter for 2025, which is aggressive and will depend on the workload. The fScores love him, though, and he was amazing in his small 2024 sample size.
• Ranking Explanation: The results in the Minors were ridiculous, while there is some hesitancy in the Stuff+ models (72 Stuff+ on the fastball and only 90 Stuff+) in his small major league sample size. I think this stabilizes some and there is a middle ground, but his 2024 Minor League numbers were insane. I’m betting he gets a good run with the Rangers in 2025. Rocker had a pretty rough spring training and then the Rangers signed Patrick Corbin after the Jon Gray and Cody Bradford injuries, so there’s a chance one of Rocker or Jack Leiter won’t make the rotation. I like Rocker over Leiter for the long term but keep in mind we’re looking at small sample sizes.

10. Agustin Ramirez (C, 1B – MIA)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .267/.358/.487 | 11.1 BB%, 18.6 K% | 53 XBH, 25 HR, 22 SB
• 2025 ST: .235/.381/.647 | 19 BB%, 9.5 K% | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 1 SB (17 ABs)
• Age: 22
• ETA: Early 2025
• fScores: 91 fContact, 103 fDiscipline, 93 fPower, 130 fSpeed
• Comp: Gary Sanchez with speed
• Prime Skills: Agustin Ramirez is a big-time power swing hitter with some sneaky speed but a questionable hit tool. He’s posted exit velocities up to 111 in Miami with increased average velocities in the low 90s. He hit a bump in AAA with the Yankees but figured it out in his last 20 AAA games with a .286/.383/.486 triple slash line with three home runs and two steals.
• Ranking Explanation: Ramirez was traded to the Marlins in the Jazz Chisholm Jr. trade, so this one is going to be fun to follow on both sides. The power stroke looks real with quick hands, but the question is if he can shorten it against Major League pitching. The Marlins are not great and I would guess Ramirez will spend most of the season with the big league club. He could alternate between catcher and first base to get the most out of his bat, playing 22 games at catcher and 17 at designated hitter for the Marlins in AAA. He’s good enough to break camp and has had a strong spring. How aggressive will the Marlins get until they add an extra year of service time?

• Age: 23
• ETA: Early 2025 (debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 95 fStuff, 103 fControl, 141 fERA
• Comp: Logan Webb
• Prime Skills: Rhett Lowder has three above-average pitches and is known for his pinpoint control. His changeup and two-seamer are both nasty. He’s a smart pitcher and knows how to mix well. He should be striking out more guys than he has based on his swinging strike and CSW ratings. It should carry forward into more strikeouts. How much will pitching in Great American Ball Park hurt him?
• Ranking Explanation: Lowder had reverse Zebby Matthews luck to help boost his MLB numbers against a terrible 5.16 SIERA, but keep in mind it is a smaller sample size. I have him ranked as the No. 85 starter for the season as I expect all of these luck factors to neutralize somewhat over a larger sample size. His stuff excels at run prevention and he’s in one of the worst home ballparks to counter this. It will be an interesting year to see how these things come to a head without a major jump forward in stuff. Lowder is starting the season hurt, but I expect as soon as he proves healthy he will be back up with the big league club and pitch plenty of innings in 2025.

• Age: 25
• Comp: Jack Flaherty with worse control
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted 2024)
• fScores: 107 fStuff, 91 fControl, 113 fERA
• Prime Skills: Sean Burke is a big dude with a mid-90s fastball with a 111 stuff+ in his sample size last year, along with a good slider, below-average cutter and a nice change-up he doesn’t use enough.
• Ranking Explanation: Burke is a bit of a risk because his command was quite terrible until his small sample size in the Majors in 2024, where he was more league average. This is why I never had him in my top 150 prospects rankings from the start and also why I probably forgot to rank him in my latest top 150, even though he qualifies still. He probably would have been ranked in the 120-150 range had I not forgotten him. Burke is a bit of a risk, but he does have decently high upside stuff and should get plenty of run with the White Sox as they dig everywhere for value. He’s their Opening Day starter.

• Prime Skills: Christian Moore is a big second baseman with a sweet righty swing through the zone with some easy power for a middle infielder. He has killer middle infield power with a great field of hit and very good plate skills.
• Ranking Explanation: Moore killed it in the Minors in 2024 post-draft, picking up right where he left off in college. He is a winner, a gamer and has a lovely swing. There is a lot of wind behind his sails right now and the Angels promote quickly, but there might be strikeout issues once he gets to the Majors. There are some rumors out of Angels camp he has a shot to break camp Opening Day, but there are some major strikeout concerns here going forward — especially if he does make the jump straight to the Opening Day roster. There’s some give and take between development and the increased plate appearances for 2025.

• fScores: 107 fStuff, 111 fControl, 144 fERA
• Comp: A bigger Jacob deGrom, or a Tyler Glasnow with more control
• Prime Skills: Andrew Painter regularly touches 99 MPH on his fastball and throws it up in the zone with some ridiculous ride. He loves to use his curve up in the zone to finish guys off when they are dead red fastballs. He has pinpoint control for a pitcher his age, which plays his stuff up even more. He has an excellent pitch mix and knows how to throw his changeup and breaking stuff off his money fastball.
• Ranking Explanation: Painter pitched in the Arizona Fall League and is back in action. Don’t expect many innings in the minors as the Phillies have already announced they will be reserving his innings for a mid-season call-up and playoff push. We have a future No. 2 or ace in Painter. If we get around half a season of a top-40 starter on a per-inning basis, he’s worth buying.

• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day
• fScores: 93 fStuff, 112 fControl, 105 fERA
• Comp: Nick Martinez
• Prime Skills: Thomas Harrington is a command-oriented pitcher whose nastiest pitch is his changeup against his 92-93 MPH fastball. He has an interesting 3/4 arm action with a quick whip. His breaking pitches kind of pop out quickly from the hand, playing up against the below-average fastball velocity, which, by the way, is very flat and plays up against the velocity.
• Ranking Explanation: Harrington projects out to me as a very solid No. 3/No. 4 major league pitcher who might have some nice WHIP seasons as he ran only around 4% walk rates in 2024 at every level. Harrington should be up by mid-season, at the latest. He will battle Bubba Chandler to see who can be first up. Harrington’s command and the fact he’s older give him the edge.

• ETA: Opening Day (debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 87 fStuff, 120 fControl, 130 fERA
• Comp: Jameson Taillon light
• Prime Skills: Michael McGreevy runs a kitchen sink approach with only one good pitch, the slider. He does, however, have excellent command and a pretty good cutter he should consider throwing more than the sinker and four-seamer.
• Ranking Explanation: McGreevy is a former first-round pick who has shown he can pitch deep into games. He has great command and has a shot out of camp to make the big league rotation for the Cardinals after a nice little showing at the end of the 2024 season. He might not be the most exciting player because he’s not likely to strike many guys out, but if he can pitch to a Tallion or Kyle Hendricks-like line there is some nice under-the-radar value here. The Cardinals have talked about stretching to a six-man rotation, likely to make room for McGreevy to break camp in the rotation (despite reports it might be Matthew Liberatore).

17. Roman Anthony (OF – BOS)

• 2024 AA/AAA: .291/.396/.498 | 14.6 BB%, 23.5 K% | 54 XBH, 18 HR, 21 SB
• 2025 ST: .240/.406/.400 | 18.8 BB%, 21.9 K% | 2 XBH, 1 HR, 0 SB (32 ABs)
• Age: 21
• ETA: Mid 2025
• fScores: 98 fContact, 129 fDiscipline, 97 fPower, 117 fSpeed
• Comp: Jarred Kelenic with a better eye
• Prime Skills: Very good eye with a strong power tool for a young kid who still needs to fill out. Roman Anthony could be a five-tool guy but needs to be more consistent on the base paths for steals to be a big part of his long-term game. The max and 90th percentile exit velocities rate out a little better than Dominguez (112.5 and 108.4, respectively). He is not nearly aggressive in the zone and might have a little bit of a Lars Nootbaar streak to him.
• Ranking Explanation: Anthony has a little bit of Emmanuel Rodriguez syndrome, as the SwStr% is only at 8.7% despite a near 24% strikeout rate in the Minors in 2024 because he lays off too many pitches in the zone. He ran into this same problem in A+ last year but course-corrected. There is no reason to doubt he can’t fix this issue, which is being too patient or maybe having a better eye than the umps, a second time. Anthony put his raw power on full display during the All-Star game skills competition. He needs to start working to translate the raw power to game power. Anthony has moved through the Minors quickly and deserves an age-to-level bump when considering his 162 wRC+ at AAA, which might relate closer to a more than 200 wRC+. Anthony had an insanely good spring and is in the conversation to break camp, but I don’t think he does. I do, however, think he’d be the first call-up if any outfielder suffers an injury.

• Age: 22
• ETA: Early 2025
• fScores: 96 fContact, 89 fDiscipline, 102 fPower, 81 fSpeed
• Comp: Josh Jung with shades of Manny Machado
• Prime Skills: Cam Smith began his Minor League career on a complete tear, outpacing his college profile. He’s very stoic at the plate and very calm with a great eye with quick hands to get to any pitch and crush it. He hits to all fields. If the Astros can teach him to pull more into the Crawford Boxes then there would be quite a bit more power upside here.
• Ranking Explanation: The spring training results have been super impressive. There’s a good shot he ends up in the outfield where the Astros have a weakness. I did not expect Smith up until the last month of the season but he might be the biggest riser. There are reports Smith could break camp and counter reports he will not unless he’s starting.

19. Emmanuel Rodriguez (OF – MIN)

• 2024 CPX/A/AA/AAA: .280/.459/.567 | 24.4 BB%, 29.7 K% | 25 XBH, 9 HR, 9 SB (47 games)
• 2025 ST: N/A
• Age: 22
  ETA: Early 2025 (May/June?)
• fScores: 93 fContact, 181 fDiscipline, 120 fPower, 95 fSpeed
• Comp: Rafael Devers meets Edouard Julien
• Prime Skills: Great eye and insane power (114.6 max exit velocity) with a tad of speed mixed in despite being a bigger boy; quick hands though. Like many of these guys, Emmanuel Rodriguez has to work on his hit tool a bit and cut down on the strikeouts. The power and speed potential are ridiculous. Rodriguez should be ranked even higher in points leagues.
• Ranking Explanation: He’s dealt with injuries the last couple of years, but has been ridiculous on a per-plate appearance basis. The only issue with his game is he strikes out way too much by being too patient. A 9.4% SwStr% portends to a way better strikeout rate than 29.7%. Rodriguez only has a 33.3% swing rate; he needs to become more aggressive. He’s not going to break camp even though he’s Major League-ready if healthy. Rodriguez is only a Byron Buxton injury or Matt Wallner strikeout black hole away from a call-up, even though he also has injury issues. Wallner and Trevor Larnach are also platoon risks. Even with Harrison Bader on the weak side of the platoon, I am leaning more toward Rodriguez getting a call-up around when James Wood did in 2024, especially with how injury-prone the Twins seem to be.

• Age: 22
• ETA: Early 2025
• fScores: 106 fContact, 129 fDiscipline, 115 fPower, 86 fSpeed
• Comp: Joey Votto-esque profile
• Prime Skills: Nick Kurtz has 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 to the Arizona Fall League from a hamstring injury.
• Ranking Explanation: Kurtz is getting an Athletics bump for me, surprisingly. If you haven’t noticed, they have been right on the dot with developing their draft picks over the last few years. I trust the hit tool and plate skills and the fScores love him. 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 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 eventually be called up based on how aggressive the team seems to have become and his Wyatt Langford-like post-2024 Draft performance.

21. Bubba Chandler (SP – PIT)

• 2025 ST: 2 1/3 IP | 2 Ks, 4 BBs | 19.29 ERA, 3.00 WHIP
• Age: 22
• ETA: June / July 2025
• fScores: 106 fStuff, 95 fControl, 109 fERA
• Comp: Luis Gil with a Zach Wheeler slider
• Prime Skills: Big fastball and slider guy, Bubba Chandler was known as a dual sport athlete who is now finally focusing on baseball rather than football. A lot of upside here as he has never been focused only on baseball until a couple of years ago. He had committed to Clemson to play quarterback. He throws 97-99 MPH with a 12/6 killer vertical slider and a sick changeup with a nice fade that tunnels well against his other two pitches.
• Ranking Explanation: Chandler started coming into his own starting around June where he has an improved 26.1 K-BB% since June 1st and a 2.27 ERA and 0.92 WHIP. This bumped him way up in the rankings. He was just on my radar before as a stuff guy without performance. Chandler isn’t the automatic next man up with the Pirates many people are assuming. I bet Thomas Harrington is up before Chandler. This pushes him down a bit as I expect maybe half a season in the Majors for him, possibly even less. It all depends on the health of the rest of the rotation.

• Age: 25
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted in 2024)
• fScores: 96 fContact, 92 fDiscipline, 98 fPower, 103 fSpeed
• Comp: A bigger, more athletic Chas McCormick
• Prime Skills: Zach Dezenzo is a power/speed hitter who has to work on his hit tool (75% Z-Contact% in his debut). He can take a walk and will excel against fastballs with above-average exit velocities. Dezenzo needs to work on reducing his strikeout rate.
• Ranking Explanation: Dezenzo missed a good chunk of 2024 with a wrist injury, but he worked his way to the Majors with a nice Minor League season. He should compete with Shay Whitcomb for the starting third base role in 2025. Dezenzo has had a killer spring, but just suffered a jaw injury and is day-to-day. He may break camp if he’s healthy as the starting right fielder.

23. Logan Henderson (SP – MIL)

• 2024 CPX/A+/AA/AAA: 81 1/3 IP | 28.1 K-BB%, 15 SwStr%, 31.6 CSW% | 3.32 ERA, 0.91 WHIP
• 2025 ST: 8 2/3 IP | 10 Ks, 5 BBs | 4.15 ERA, 1.38 WHIP
• Age: 23
• ETA: Early 2025 (Opening Day?)
• fScores: 105 fStuff, 106 fControl, 110 fERA
• Comp: Spencer Strider-light (dude has some quads)
• Prime Skills: Logan Henderson is of slight build (5-foot-11) and has jumped up a couple of levels already this season after destroying at Low-A most of last season. He has excellent command and a nice fastball/change-up combo. The fastball runs 94-96 MPH. His change-up is one of the better ones in the Minors.
• Ranking Explanation: Henderson zoomed up my rankings, just like he zoomed up from Single-A ball last year to AAA. He has excellent command and also some big-time strikeout stuff, especially on the fastball/change-up combo. I love the stuff, but we have seen a lot of struggles from the fastball/change-up/command pitchers lately. While Henderson might have a better fastball, it’s worth playing him a little safe based on the smaller frame and the lack of a killer-breaking pitch. Henderson could break camp if Aaron Ashby falters and the Brewers opt not to sign another veteran arm for the back of the rotation. However, it’s more likely he’s not up until the middle of the season. Henderson has both the stuff and command to make an instant impact once he is up. He could be up to open the season thanks to some of the injuries to the rotation.

• 2024 MLB: .308/.325/.641 | 2.5 BB%, 15 K% | 6 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
• Age: 23
• ETA: Opening Day (debuted)
• fScores: 97 fContact, 73 fDiscipline, 98 fPower, 142 fSpeed
• Comp: Andres Gimenez with a Ronald Acuna batting stance
• Prime Skills: Luisangel Acuna has decent plate skills and speed for days. The power is about average. He could tap out at a 12-15 homer guy with 35-40 steals.
• Ranking Explanation: Acuna is currently projected to be the super utility bench player on the team in the infield and outfield. I think he starts most days and can put up Andres Gimenez-esque numbers over a full season with multi-position eligibility. I’ve come around on the playing time this season on some of the players ranked above and would rather have someone who starts every day over half a season than 65-70% of Acuna starting from Opening Day onward.

• Comp: Jon Berti meets Ryan Bliss
• Prime Skills: Caleb Durbin has solid plate skills with speed for days and a super utility profile.
• Ranking Explanation: Durbin looks to have a possible starting role for the Brewers to break camp this year, despite having limited power. He will likely hit at the back of the order but could be valuable for fantasy based on his speed profile with enough playing time, which is the key factor in him breaking into the top 25.

• Age: 24
• ETA: Opening Day

• Comp: Keibert Ruiz
• Prime Skills: Drake Baldwin has excellent plate skills, above-average contact skills, and 15-ish home run upside, which plays as a solid above-average Major League catcher for fantasy.
• Ranking Explanation: I was pretty high on Drake Baldwin in two-catcher leagues and deeper leagues as a backup catcher, but with Sean Murphy out to start the season, he may get closer to half of the starting catcher appearances in Atlanta this season. That is solid enough to take the last spot on the list.
