Welcome back, friends. Time for another installment of Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025.

This week the countdown hits the players ranked 100th to 75th. In doing my breakdown of the players in this group, I learned a little more about my habits when either building a dynasty team or maintaining the one’s I have. And that habit is this – I do not put all of my eggs in the “go with the youngsters” basket.

I do this because unless you have an amazing ability to hit on every young up-and-coming player, you are going to have some big holes to fill. That, to me, is what the prospect drafts/auctions are for. In all of my dynasty leagues, we have prospect rosters. That is when I go for the upside player over the one closer to the majors or even has some MLB experience. But when filling out my actual roster or looking for to fill some holes, I like to make sure I have some known commodities on my team.

With that thought in mind, it makes sense why I have 12 players who are 30 or over in this group. These players all provide stability. There may not be a lot of upside in them, but there is also very little risk. If you are going to take risks early in your draft or auction, then it is wise to come back and add some veterans. Anyway, you can see the age and position breakdown of the players in this group and then move on to the rankings.

Another week has come and gone, but back again this week is the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025.

This week I highlight the players I have ranked between 125 and 101.

As provided before, here is a quick breakdown of the 25 players in the rankings this week:

Let’s provide a quick breakdown of the 25 players in the rankings this week before diving into the rankings:

Age 20-24 – 4
Age 25-29 – 16
Age 30-34 – 5

Position Breakdown

SP – 5
1B – 3 | 2B – 6 | SS – 1
OF – 7
IF – 2
C – 1

The age range makes sense as anyone should start going for the younger players at this point outside of the top players who are older than 30. So seeing 16 players listed who are between the ages of 25-29 is not a surprise.

When it comes to the position breakdown, you see a lot of second basemen – six in fact – in this grouping. While there are some differences in the second basemen you will read about, these six players will basically provide the same production – though some of it coming in homers, some in steals or a combination. But overall, they are very similar to each other. Losing out on one of them shouldn’t be horrible if there are three more on the board waiting for you.

Now on to the rankings.

Welcome back, friends, to another week of the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025. The countdown to No. 1 continues as this week I look at the players ranked between 175 to 151. You will see that this grouping of players falls mostly into one age bracket while the positions vary.

The fact that many of the players are in the same age range is not surprising. A lot of the older players were previously ranked and many of the younger players are ranked higher. This group is a collection of players who are mostly proven commodities. Some still have room to improve, some are a question mark, but many are the players who are ranked below are the reason you win titles – they aren’t superstars, but they will provide solid stats that lead to titles.

Let’s provide a quick breakdown of the 25 players in the rankings this week before diving into the rankings…

After two weeks of rankings where I lumped players ranked 400-301 into one group and then players 300-201 into a second group, this is the week in which I break out the rankings into groups of 25. For this week, that means players ranked 200-176.

The overall breakdown of this group tends to be a little older compared to those ranked higher. Eleven players are between the ages of 30-34, 11 are in the 25-29 age range and three players are 24 or younger.

As for the position breakdown, there are two relievers, two starting pitchers, one catcher, two third basemen, one shortstop and one DH. Nine players are outfielders, either at one outfield position or multiple, while another five are “utility” players, which for this purpose means they can play at least one infield and one outfield position.

Happy New Year, everyone. We are one day closer to the start of the baseball season, which is really all we care about.

Today I tackle the second large group of player rankings in the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025. This is the 300-201 player grouping. After today, the final 200 players will be broken down into groups of 25.

In case you are new to my rankings, here is a simple breakdown of how I put these together…

Happy New Year and Happy Holidays. I hope the holiday season has been one of joy and happiness for you.

That said, welcome to the first installment of the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025. This week and next I will take two giant bites out of the countdown as I rank the players from 400-301 this week and then 300-201 the following week. After that will come bite sized looks of the final 200 players.

I know for a fact that some of you will not like my rankings. But I have my biases and certain ways I evaluate fantasy players and have done so for decades. So take these rankings as a starting point and adjust as you see fit. No matter what, I hope these rankings will be a useful tool for you.

Secondly, you will not see any prospects in my rankings unless they have debuted in the majors. So you will not see Anthony Quinn ranked, nor Owen Cassie or a host of other top prospects. I also did not rank Kumar Rocker as 11.2 innings of work on the MLB level barely counts. But if you are wondering, I really like him as I traded for him in two leagues earlier this offseason.

With that said, let’s get started.

Welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. Today is the end of the road for this series as the focus falls on the right fielders as well as the few designated hitters worth talking about.

Before focusing on the right fielders, I want to give a quick rundown of the top 10 designated hitters. A few of the players may be able to get eligibility in the field in 2025, but most will likely remain tethered to the UTL slot in 2025. But thanks to their ability to hit, they are still solid to great players to have on your team.

As for the right field position, it ranks as one of the best positions as far as depth and talent. Lots of sluggers live in right field while there are also a host of players who can provide steals as well as a solid slash line.

But enough chatter. Let’s get on with the rankings, first the top 10 designated hitters followed by the top 50 right fielders.

Thanksgiving is behind us, which means two things – the Holiday season is in full swing, and the 2025 Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series is in the home stretch.

This week we focus on center fielders, leaving only right fielders and true designated hitters remaining.

For me, the center field position ranks only behind the shortstops when it comes to talent and depth. If you are starting a team from scratch, my first pick is coming from either the shortstop or center field position. This is a position where I am counting on young players to build my team around.

Of the 50 players ranked below, only six of them are 30 or older and a total of 18 ranked players are 25-year-old or younger.

So this is a position that give you a key player for the next half decade or longer.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone and welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. If this the first time for you to read one of these series entries, then welcome aboard.

Ranking outfielders can be tricky because a host of left fielders can also play right field, or center field, or heck, somewhere in the infield. Thus, some of the players you see in the rankings here you will see again over the next two weeks or have already seen, but they just may be ranked higher or lower compared to these rankings.

This position is heavy on players under the age of 30. Out of the 50 players I ranked, only 14 of them are 30 years old or older. Despite the youth, the position still has a lot of depth. You can get a pretty solid player from Tier 3 and even Tier 4 if a few of the players ranked there can rebound after poor seasons.

Overall, this is a position where I am counting on some very young players with high upside to actual reach that upside.

That said, let’s get on with the rankings.

Welcome back to another installment of Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025. We have made our trip around the infield as we highlight the third basemen this week.

This is an interesting position. There is some solid depth as you can land a good starter from the Tier 2 group or even Tier 3 if one of those players has a breakout year. But the top talent skews toward the older side as six of my top 20 players are 31 years old or older.

There are some solid players who are in their 20s, but there is no Bobby Witt Jr. or Gunnar Henderson in this group.

Overall, it is a position with one great player, a lot of above average players and then a gaggle of players who have the potential to be above average but are not there yet.

Welcome back to another week of Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025. The spotlight turns to shortstops this week.

Unlike second base, which has a pretty steep drop off in talent outside the top 15 or so players, the shortstop position is loaded with talent, the type of talent that is ranked among the best in baseball, not just this position. The players ranked in Tier 2 will still provide solid production and that continues into the players ranked in Tier 3.

And this talent is young. Of the 30 players ranked in Tiers 1 through 3, 23 of them are under the age of 30. Missing out on a Tier 1 player is not going to cripple your team.

Now, let’s get to the rankings.
