Travis Bazzana: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Hello everyone, welcome back to another entry of the featured Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

Another week is in the books, and after highlighting one top prospect last week who I consider will be an outstanding player for years to come, I figured I would continue the trend and highlight a player who was the top overall selection in the 2024 draft.

Travis Bazzana is not a player who has been sneaking up on people. He was the first player to hear his named called the night of the 2024 draft and he has been producing on the field ever since and he entered the 2026 season ranked as the #22 prospect by Baseball America, #20 by MLB and #24 by Baseball Prospectus.

So like we do every week, let’s dive in and learn a little more about Bazzana.

Hello everyone, I hope the day is going well for you.

Last week I teased writing about Braden Montgomery when I was writing about Sam Antonacci. I know he is not the most exciting player to read about, but every winning dynasty team needs players like Antonacci. But I get it – he’s not a household name and doesn’t make any get upset that you snagged him.

Montgomery, on the other hand, is an exciting player that everyone is talking about. He has power, he can hit and he can run. There is a lot to like about the newest White Sox rookie.

So let’s dive in and take a look at Braden Montgomery, an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Welcome back, everyone.

The Chicago White Sox recently recalled one of their top prospects to The Show, so this week I figured it would be a good time to talk about him and the impact he will have in fantasy baseball. Let’s say hello to Sam Antonacci!

(Wait, did you think I was talking about Braden Montgomery? Silly you. Let’s wait a little before talking about him.)

Antonacci is making a name for himself with the White Sox, but if you didn’t know who he was before this season, no one can blame you.

Time to dive in and take a deeper look at Antonacci.

Sal Stewart: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Welcome back, everyone.

Last week I looked at Chase Burns of the Cincinnati Reds as an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player. This week I figured since I already discussed one Reds player, lets discuss a second Reds player.

Sal Stewart burst onto the MLB scene last year when he hit five homers in 18 games and slugged .545. Not a bad way to introduce yourself to Reds fans. With that performance, fantasy owners were excited to see what Stewart would do this year, and so far he has been solid, hitting 12 homers and driving in 37 in 61 games. That is a pretty solid pace of 32 homers and 98 RBI for the season with 26 steals.

So let’s dive in and take a deeper look at Stewart.

Good day, everyone.

I’m kind of taking the easy way out this week when it comes to highlighting and up-and-coming dynasty player. That is because Chase Burns is not up-and-coming. He fits the parameters in that he is young (23) and barely established as a major league pitcher.

But he has arrived and is showing why he was one of the top pitching prospects in baseball ahead of the 2025 season and needed less than one full season in the minors before reaching the majors with the Cincinnati Reds.

So let’s take a look at why Burns is an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Good day, everyone. I’m back from vacation and the first order of business is to get back to letting you know who I think is an up-and-coming dynasty player.

As the season progresses, a host of players are starting to come to the forefront as players who should be added to your team. One of those players is Spencer Arrighetti of the Houston Astros.

When it comes to the Astros, not a lot has gone right for the team this year. One of the few bright spots has been Arrighetti, a right-handed pitcher now in his third season with the club.

So let’s take a look at why Arrighetti is an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Brice Matthews: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Whether you are an experienced dynasty baseball player or new to the whole thing, it is pretty easy to spot the future stars, such as a Kevin McGonigle or Konnor Griffin, to build your team around. Plenty of lists exist that rank the top prospects and then simply watching young players will give you all the information you need to know about which young studs to target.

If you are able to land these young players, your team will be looking good for many years to come. But what if you don’t land them for whatever reason? Don’t fret, because there are always hidden gems to be found – a player who may not help you immediately but could be a key player in a year or two.

I believe Brice Matthews is one of those hidden gems. Now 24, he has not set the world on fire during his brief major league career. But the tools are there for him to break out.

Let’s take a look at Mr. Matthews

Looking for a young Up-and-Coming Dynasty pitcher? Well, I have a player in mind.

Say hello to JR Ritchie, the rookie pitcher for the Atlanta Braves. The right-hander has made two starts in the majors so far, but he entered the season ranked as a top 100 prospect and has look more than ready to help fantasy owners this season.

Let’s take a look at Ritchie.

Landen Roupp: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

The goal in fantasy baseball is to collect as many of the best players as possible in order to dominate your league and win the title.

But guess what? That is the goal of probably every other player in your league, making it pretty much impossible to attain your goal. So the next best thing is to be quick on the draw and grab as many of the overlooked players that you can as they are often the key to winning.

One such overlooked player is Landen Roupp of the San Francisco Giants. Roupp is 27 years old, so he is not some fresh-faced rookie suddenly making a name for himself. Instead he is in his third season with the Giants and suddenly making a name for himself.

Let’s dive in and examine the pride of Rocky Mount, North Carolina.

Jack Leiter: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

If you read my posts regularly, you know by now that I have an aversion to young pitchers. Some of them are outstanding from the start, but the majority need time to learn their craft.

Well, it looks like Jack Leiter has finally learned his craft, turning himself into a pitcher and not just a thrower off the mound. His first taste of the majors in 2024 did not go well. Last season he had his ups and downs, especially during the first half of the season.

But the Rangers stuck with him and the more experience he got, the better he became. The success he had in the second half of the 2025 season has carried over into 2026, making Leiter an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Jordan Walker: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Good day, everyone, and welcome back to another Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player post.

The player I am featuring this week has actually been around for a while as he made his debut in 2023. Say hello, again, to Jordan Walker.

The slugging Cardinal burst onto the scene with a very nice rookie season in 2023, only to fall out of favor with most fantasy owners due to back-to-back horrific seasons in 2024 and 2025.

But Walker is off to a great start and I don’t think this is just a lucky streak. I think it is a case of Walker finally figuring things out.

So let’s take a look at Jordan Walker.

Carson Benge: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

With the baseball season started and drafts and auctions completed, we now enter the season of “finding the hidden gem” or “next great young player.”

Some players are not hidden gems and are already the next great young player. Players in that category or players like Kevin McGonigle or JJ Wetherholt, but if you don’t know about them by now, then you aren’t paying any attention to players when it comes to dynasty baseball. I’ll go out on a limb here – they are studs. If you have one or both of these players, keep them unless an offer is made to you that is simply too good to pass up.

If you don’t have one of those two players, good luck getting them.

Then there are some players who are highly rated prospects but may not getting as much buzz as they should. One of those players, I feel, is Carson Benge of the New York Mets.

So let’s talk about the team’s rookie right fielder.
