Kyle Stowers: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Welcome back, friends.

This week I am going to dazzle you with why you should consider Kyle Stowers as an Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

The Marlins outfielder is off to a great start this season as he has 10 homers and 29 RBI entering Friday’s games. The start of his MLB career started slowly with the Baltimore Orioles. But since joining the Marlins at the trade deadline last season, he has been a steady performer, hitting 12 homers with 44 RBI in 90 games.

Let’s dive in and take a look at Kyle Stowers.

James Wood: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

May 9, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, fantasy baseball keepers, Keeper Leagues | 10 Comments

The goal in dynasty baseball leagues is not to just collect the best talent, but the best YOUNG talent.

Sometimes that goal is easy to achieve as a player comes from seemingly out of nowhere. If you are keen enough to spot these players before others notice them, it is a cheap add and years of production will follow.

Other times adding that talent is not so easy. That is the case with outfielder James Wood of the Nationals. The 22-year-old is not sitting on the waiver wire waiting for you to add him. But that is why we make trades. The price won’t be low to acquire a player like Wood, but if you can swing a deal, you should.

Let’s examine why.

Pete Crow-Armstrong: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

If you have been a regular reader of this series, then you know how I love to try to find the hidden up-and-coming dynasty gems during the season. But sometimes you have to go for the low hanging fruit and highlight a player who is showing the skills that many expected of him since becoming a professional.

Pete Crow-Armstrong is a former Top 100 prospect, entering the 2024 season ranked as the 18th best prospect by Baseball America, 16th by MLB and 20th by Baseball Prospectus.

After a cup of coffee with the Cubs in 2023, Crow-Armstrong appeared in 123 games last season, but he had an up-and-down season. During the first half of the season, Crow-Armstrong slashed .203/.253/.329 with three homers, 17 RBI and 17 steals in 60 games (46 starts). Over the second half, however, Crow-Armstrong started to figure things out, slashing .262/.310/.425 with seven home runs, 30 RBI and 10 steals in 63 games, all starts.

Through the first month of this season, it appears Crow-Armstrong is carrying over what he did during the second half of last season, making him a solid Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

Let’s dive in and take a look at Crow-Armstrong.

Kameron Misner: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Welcome back everyone. Yet another week has passed as the first month of the season has nearly concluded.

At this point of the season, what have we learned?

Well, we’ve learned that pitchers are still dropping like flies and that having position depth on your team is as valuable as ever. Your task is now finding the right replacements for struggling players or those who will be living on the IL for a while.

One of those “right” replacements is Kameron Misner of Tampa Bay. The left-handed hitting center fielder is not my typical dynasty target as he is already 27 and started his professional career in 2019 – AFTER playing in the SEC at Missouri for three years. But sometimes the diamonds in the rough are players who are a little older.

So, let’s jump in and talk a look at Misner, an up-and-coming dynasty player.

Hello, everyone, hope the weekend is off to a great start for you. For you regular readers, welcome back to another edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players, and if you are new, welcome and enjoy.

This week I finally feature a pitcher as I highlight Heyden Wesneski of the Houston Astros. A right-hander, Wesneski is off to a solid start this season and should, I believe, have a breakout season in 2025.

So let’s not waste any more time and let’s get to talking about Wesneski.

Jacob Wilson: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

It is somewhat amazing the number of former major league players who have sons who not only reach the majors themselves but also seem to excel on the field.

Jake Wilson is the latest former player to have a son playing the majors. I’m not saying that Jacob Wilson is going to excel during his entire career as he has played in only 41 major league games entering Friday. But Wilson, who played for his dad at Thousand Oaks High School in California, is certainly a player who may play at a high level for years to come.

So let’s take a look at Wilson.

Otto Lopez: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

When looking for dynasty players to go after, it is easy to cast your gaze toward the young stars who are or were on all of the top prospect lists. You know, someone like Kristian Campbell.

Going after someone like Campbell makes tons of sense as he will be an anchor player for years. But unless you are somehow able to corner the market on snagging every top 100 prospect, you will need to find players who fly under the radar and fill voids – because all teams have voids.

That is why I am turning my attention to Otto Lopez of the Miami Marlins, a player who has taken advantage of being on a team that is rebuilding to establish himself as a solid major league player.

Let’s look at Mr. Lopez.

At this time last year, Cam Smith was playing college baseball for the Florida State Seminoles. Fast forward one year and Smith is now playing in the majors, starting in right field for the Houston Astros on Opening Day.

The road to The Show has been quick for Smith, who was not drafted out of high school. Only 22 years old, Smith has played in only 32 minor league games. But after an impressive spring training, he forced his way into the Astros lineup.

Let’s dive in and take a look at Cam Smith.

It’s Here! Baseball season is finally here!

For a lot of young players, now is their chance to establish themselves as major league players. Some just hope to have a solid career. Others have the talent to be core players for years to come. I am here to help identify those types of players.

That brings us to Matt Shaw, the rookie third baseman for the Chicago Cubs. Just two years Shaw was playing college baseball for Maryland. Now he is wearing a Cubs uniform as he has shot through the Chicago farm system.

So let’s take a look at Mr. Matt Shaw, an up-and-coming dynasty player.

The Major League baseball season is just around the corner, but the fantasy baseball season is in full swing as drafts and auctions are happening every day and twice on Sunday.

With the fantasy season now here, so too is the constant search for the hidden gems, those players who will actually be the difference between winning and losing. With that in mind, I present New York Yankees catcher Austin Wells as this week’s Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player.

Wells started the 2024 season splitting time behind the plate but took over the role as the primary catcher midway through the season. When you look at his stats, you may wonder why I like him. So let’s find out why.

Brenton Doyle: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player

Shepherd University, which is located in Shepherdstown, West Virginia, has produced four draft picks during its history. Three of those players are people who none of us have ever heard of.

But one of them is Brenton Doyle, the center fielder for the Colorado Rockies. Doyle was selected in the fourth round of the 2019 draft, and Doyle has proven to be a great selection by the Rockies.

After the draft he signed with the club and was assigned to Grand Junction, the team’s Rookie ball team. All he did there was slash .383/.477/.611 with eight homers, 33 RBI and 17 steals in 51 games. And all he has done since then is to continue to hit and show improvement at each level of ball he has played on.

So let’s take a dive in the Brenton Doyle, and Up-and-Coming Dynasty Player

Top 400 Dynasty Players For 2025: 50-26

February 22, 2025 | 2025 Fantasy Baseball, Fantasy Baseball Keepers, Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Keeper Leagues | 20 Comments

by: Jakkers

Spring Training has started, which means many fantasy leagues are gearing up for the season to start. Yes, some leagues have already had their drafts, but many haven’t.

As fantasy owners prepare for their upcoming league drafts or auctions or whatever process you use to add players, this week the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025 features the players ranked 50th-26th. We are in the backstretch as next week we conclude the series.

When you look at the position and age breakdowns for this group, it should not be shocking to see 19 of the 25 players are under the age of 29 with five players under the age of 24. And you really shouldn’t be shocked to see so many pitchers. After the first two rounds of a draft, I will hunt for the top pitchers on the board, especially as more and more leagues adjust their categories to make starting pitching more meaningful other than collecting strikeouts or posting a 4.50 ERA yet get credited with a quality start.
