Top-300 Fantasy Baseball Prospects For Dynasty Leagues: April 2021

top fantasy baseball prospects

A massive part of fantasy baseball dynasty leagues always has been and always will be prospects. No matter if you’re a diehard to the format or relatively new, everyone loves prospects and wants to establish a rock-solid core on their dynasty team. Having a top-notch farm system can help you replenish when you’re Major Leaguers start to decline and can keep you competitive year after year. And that’s the goal, right? We play dynasty fantasy baseball to have fun and to win. If you play to lose, then I’m not sure why you’re playing, to be honest. So, with all that said, it’s time to unleash an updated top-300 fantasy baseball prospects list on the world. Hopefully, this list helps you build a dominant farm now and into the future.

What Factors Into These Rankings?

  1. Proximity: For this list, proximity factors in somewhat, but this is mostly geared toward overall potential.
  2. Upside: Ceiling and floor are weighed at around a 2/3 to 1/3 split.
  3. System: The more I’ve learned, the more it has become very apparent that the system these prospects are in matters. If a franchise doesn’t have a great track record developing certain types of prospects or vice versa, that factors in to a degree.
  4. Key Tools (Hitters): We all love the flashy prospects that have the potential to put up gaudy numbers, but that can’t be all we look for. For hitters, I’ve really started factoring in a prospect’s hit tool more heavily. Below-average contact skills or plate approach can really limit a player’s power/speed upside.
  5. Key Tools (Pitchers): In my time doing this, command has become more and more important in my eyes. That’s why you’ll see certain pitchers a little lower than you might think. Take Luis Medina of the Yankees. He’s the perfect example of a pitcher with a dynamic arsenal that can’t locate any of his pitches. I’ll take a pitcher that throws 91-92 with plus command over 96-97 with spotty command any day of the week.

Biggest Risers

1. Trevor Rogers, LHP, MIA: 260 to 111 (+149)

2. Kyle Isbel, 2B/OF, KC: 253 to 177 (+76)

3. Daulton Jefferies, RHP, OAK: 261 to 200 (+61)

4, Patrick Bailey, C, SFG: 285 to 233 (+52)

5. Carson Tucker, SS, CLE: 278 to 227 (+51)

6. Alejandro Kirk, C, TOR: 183 to 132 (+51)

7. Jonatan Clase, OF, SEA: 234 to 185 (+49)

8. Oswald Peraza, MI, NYY: 233 to 189 (+44)

9. Jarren Duran, OF, BOS: 98 to 56 (+42)

10. Gilberto Jimenez, OF, BOS: 148 to 107 (+41)

11. Jonathan India, 3B, CIN: 149 to 108 (+41)

        guys who throw strikes but don’t throw hard are always undervalued. But guys that throw 100 but can’t find the zone are ranked in the top 100 because of “upside”. Guess we will see on Urquidy but to not have him ranked on here is a little odd. Appreciate the work nonetheless.

      Not overly high on him. Would be in my 300-350 range. Doesn’t impact the ball enough nto be a major impact bat. Contact skills and approach are sound, but he projects as a .280/10-12 HR bat for me.

      All have very high offensive upside with top-25 overall potential. Acuna is very different from his brother but has a nice hit/speed combination. Bracho has the most power here, and Acosta the best all-around offensive tools.

    Hey Eric! Just wanted to say thank you and keep up the good work! I’m in a dynasty league with a pretty shallow amount of prospects rostered on each team (maybe 3-4 per team). My team was stagnant the last few years so decided to blow it up and rebuild. Started following you last offseason and I jumped on a few guys early at your recommendation and now my prospect pool is by far the best my league has ever seen and I’m looking pretty solid for the future. J-Rod, Luciano, K-Rob, Kirilloff, Waters, Brujan, Whitley, Manning, Pearson, May, Puk (plus the addition of one of the top FYPD players this upcoming draft) is pretty filthy if you ask me. Thanks again and keep up the great work!

    Reply
    • Eric CrossEric Cross says

      February 29, 2020 at 8:42 pm

      Three reasons for the gap. 1) MLB ranks pitchers more highly than I as they’re ranking on real-life value and not fantasy. With that said, I have Sixto a little lower than most as I question his longterm durability and I want to see him miss more bats.

I really don’t feel like pushing my team in 2020 due to the reduced season but am putting a strong emphasis on development and being a top tier team by 2021. Who do you feel has the highest upside between josiah gray, Shane McCalahan, Blake Walston, and Matt Tabor.

      Mitchell is interesting. Bigtime athlete with the potential to hit for both power and average if he corrects the hitch in his swing and adds loft. Huge upside but a little risky too.

        Let’s say Karinchak didn’t graduate due to my league not having the active roster requirement (just IP). Where does he slide in?

    Great list as usual

    Pitchers I currently own looking for upside projections

    Ace upside (future top 10 sp ) ?

    Asa Lacey
    Max Meyer
    Mick Abel
    Nick Bitsko have ace upside ?

    Top 25 sp upside ?

    Clarke schmidt
    George Kirby

      Thank you! I’d mostly agree with that. Those top four have immense upside. Schmidt and Kirby not far behind either. For upside, I’d rank them Abel, Lacy, Bitsko, Meyer, Schmidt, Kirby.

    Randy Arozarena at 98? I’ve seen people mentioning him being in the top 100 picks overall next year. With a solid track record and hot end to season and playoffs, feel like he should be in top 25-30 at the very least?

      Can’t overreact to an extremely small sample size. I bumped him up a ton here and personally think him being a top-100 overall pick in 2021 is ridiculous.

    In a 12 team 5×5 roto keeper league.  Keep 15 each year, with players getting $5 raises.  My team is not winning this year and more in re-build mode with eyes on next year.

    My 3B – Moncada, Bohm, My OF – Arozarena, Carlson

    Would you prefer a $5 Tork or a $6 Kelenic?

        Appreciate the feedback.

        My offer of Tork for Kelenic was shot down.

        12 team 5×5 roto keeper league. $5 raises each year. $320 cap, so I’m way under as is and could keep all 15 again next year without issue if I wanted. Current 15
        1B – Olson $25
        2B – Albies $17, Lux $5
        3B – Moncada $30, Bohm $15, Tork $5
        OF – Arozarena $10, Carlson $10
        SP – Fried $15, Gore $13, Musgrove $10, Valdez $10, Pearson $6
        RP – Karinchak $8

        Couple Questions

        He didn’t want Tork, but is looking to compete this year. Should I offer up $30 Moncada for $6 Kelenic?

        A team with a $15 Alonso has expressed interest in a $25 Olson/$5 Lux deal? Would you think about it? Seems like a bit much with Lux’s ceiling?

        Was offered Patino $6 for $10 Musgrove, take that?

    I’m in a long term dynasty league that has 6 minor league slots. I have done exceptionally well with these slots. I currently have the following players:

    Wander Franco
    Julio Rodriguez
    CJ Abrams

    I’m curious what happened that made you flip Franco and Kelenic?

      Power/speed blend is higher with Kelenic. If you go to my author page (click my name at the top of any article) and scroll down a little, I did an article a week ago or so comparing the two. The flip wasn’t a knock on Wander at all.

        I feel like Kelenic might have the edge this year, but long term Dynasty I like Franco. Though all bets are off when Julio gets to the show. The top 6 guys on your list all look like they are gonna be fantasy juggernauts.

        Thanks for the reply! The owner really does not want to part with Turner, but he desperately needs pitching. Does this deal sound okay to you, or should I ask for a bit more? My pitching depth is good with Gallen, Gray, Burnes, Hendricks, Paddack, Sale (when he returns), Pineda, Caleb Smith.

    As always, I really appreciate all of the research you do and info you provide. It’s a great tool when valuing prospects in my dynast league. I know you’re lucky enough to get to see some of these guys in person, but I was curious how you go about watching/scouting these guys on a consistent basis? I’ve built up a pretty solid list of twitter profiles to follow and still find it extremely hard to find video of guys outside of the mega prospects.

    Thanks and keep up the good work!

      Thank you for the kind words Jonathan! Williams intrigues me as a potential impact OF down the road. Kauffman I’m out on due to him being in COL. DOn’t think he’s good enough to overcome that. Basase has some speed upside, but I’m not sure he ever hits enough. Collins looks like a backup C to me. Ademan could rise up some ranks if he shows improvements at the plate.

    I play in a dynasty league where each team is allowed 6 keepers (8 teams). I have the 2nd overall pick this year. I am torn between Alex Bregman and Randy Arrozerena. Prospects are allowed to be kept free for 3 years without counting as a keeper spot. That is our version of “arbitration.” I already have Jose Ramirez at 3B, but Bregman by far is the best available option with 2nd overall pick. Do I take Bregman the best player available or Arrozerena free for 3 years? Thanks for all that you do.
