Guys. Comma, Comma, Comma. I went over a lot of these rookies already. All right, let’s get what I’ve said previously, “Giants lost Dom Smith, and had an opening at 1st base for Bryce Eldridge, so Frank Voila! Here he is! Kinda wild that Dom Smith would block anyone. Is that the Dom Smith who […]

Another week is in the books, meaning it is time for the weekly dynasty rankings for 2026. This week is the Top 50 Dynasty First Basemen for 2026.
The good news when it comes to this position is it is by far the strongest when it comes to fantasy baseball. Among the eight positions, as a group first basemen ranked second in batting average and first in OBP, SLG, OPS and wRC+. If you are in need of power, this is the position to target as well as tap into to fill out a corner infield slot.
The bad new when it comes to this position is that a lot of the top players in this group are in their 30s. Here is the age breakdown of this position:
35+: 3
30-34: 14
25-29: 27
20-24: 6
Thirty-four percent of the players ranked are 30 or older. Of those 17 players, seven are in the top 20. There are some good, young first basemen, but they are still behind a host of veterans.
From a dynasty standpoint, if you have one of the young guns, be extremely happy. Otherwise you may want to use this position to fill a hole on the short term and and hope the youngsters you target or currently have actually develop.
So let’s get on with the Top 50 Dynasty First Basemen for 2026.

1. OF Josue De Paula | 20 | AA | 2027
Listed at 6’3” 185 pounds, De Paula appears to be bigger than that to the naked eye–not that I’m walking around with inappropriate eyewear looking at teenage athletes. A left-handed hitter with great plate skills and impressive contact skills for a guy with his raw power, De Paula has yet to really lift the ball in regular season play, topping out at 12 home runs in 98 High-A games in 2025, slashing .263/.406/.421 with 86 strikeouts, 81 walks, and 32 steals in 40 attempts. He was 2.2 years younger than the average age in the Midwest League, so we have a lot of reasons to believe the power will come sooner than later. He closed out the season with a week in Double-A, where he will likely open 2026 as one the youngest players at that level.

Here’s what Itch said in his Reds top 10 prospects list, “The 32nd overall pick in 2022, Sal Stewart enjoyed a breakout season in 2025, slugging more than .500 for his first time as a professional. At 6′ 1″ 224 lbs. with plus plate skills, he’s always had latent power that could make him a […]

1. 3B Jordan Lawlar | 23 | MLB | 2023
The sixth overall pick in the 2021 draft, Lawlar has graduated prospect status on days served, but he’s still sitting at just 108 plate appearances, so he sort of snuck onto this list. He’s spent parts of three seasons in Triple-A, most recently slashing .313/.403/.564 with 11 home runs and 20 stolen bases in 63 games this season. He has nothing left to prove in Reno, but shortstop belongs to Geraldo Perdomo in Arizona, so Lawlar is set to open 2026 as the everyday third baseman. The defense might be shaky as he adapts to the big league hot corner, but this is a bright, flashing buy-low opportunity for a premium prospect even if his ETA cracks me up a bit here.

We’ve gone over the final 2025 fantasy baseball rankings for hitters and the top 20 starters. This is different than Final Fantasy rankings where you rank Final Fantasy 1 thru Final Fantasy 15. That’s hardcore nerd shizz! This is simply fantasy baseball — we’re softcore nerds like Emmanuelle is to porn. So, there’s no more of these godforsaken […]

Welcome back, friends, to another week of my dynasty positional rankings. This week the Top 50 Dynasty Catchers for 2026 is on the menu after looking at relief pitches and starting pitchers the last two weeks.
When it comes to catchers, let’s just be brutally honest – many of them are not good at helping your offense. As a whole, the catching position ranked last in the major leagues in average, second to last in OBP and SLG and third to last in OPS this past season.
The Top 10 catchers are all players you would love to have on your team. The next 10 you can live with. After that things get dicey.
In leagues that start two catchers, it is always a fight to find a good No. 2 catcher and it is sometimes worth overpaying for that second solid starter as it will give you an advantage over many of the other teams. Otherwise, might as well go for a young catcher with upside as your No. 2 instead of a piddling old catcher who will certainly drag your stats down.

1. SS Konnor Griffin | 19 | AA | 2026
Straight from the Department of This Is What They Look Like, Griffin checks in 6’4” 225 pounds with double-plus speed and power. In his senior year of high school, he was the Gatorade National High School Player of the Year after winning his third straight title for Jackson Prep in Mississippi. It’s no exaggeration to say he might steal 100 bases in a minor league season considering he stole 87 in 88 attempts in his final high school season. Somewhat shockingly for a player his size and age, he’s a promising defensive shortstop already and has the arm and speed to become an elite defender if his hands keep coming along. On talent alone, I think he’s the best prospect in baseball. In the context of his organization and ballpark, I have concerns: concerns that can look pretty silly in the light of his real-world outcomes: a slash line of .333/.415/.527 with 21 home runs and 65 stolen bases in 122 games across three levels in his pro debut season.
