Welcome to the initial unveiling of our top 100 hitters for the 2023 fantasy baseball season.  As spring training kicks off, we will learn more about the young prospects that might make an impact like Jordan Walker or an injury to an everyday regular like Gavin Lux that toss our rankings out the door.  However, that is the reality of our fantasy baseball drafts as values will inevitably change.  As with any rankings, I always recommend balancing the rankings you like with your own league settings to make adjustments.  At the end of the day, I hope these give you some insight and stoke a great conversation.  With that preamble complete, welcome to the first edition of 2023’s Top 100 Hitter rankings starting with the top 25!

Atlanta 

RHP Kyle Wright is dealing with arm soreness, which might open a window for Bryce Elder, Jared Shuster, Kolby Allard and Mike Soroka. Have to imagine Soroka will get pushed to the front of the line if he ever gets 100 percent healthy and finds his rhythm, but for now, Allard is pitching well in spring to at least keep himself in the conversation. For anyone seeking upside from this opportunity, Shuster makes for an interesting play. A first-round pick in 2020, he’s the club’s number one prospect by a long ways and finished up last year with 48.2 innings in Triple-A.

After seven weeks of highlighting the top 175 dynasty players, we are finally at the finish line of the 2023 Dynasty Rankings. Today is Christmas and Opening Day merged into one fantastical moment as the final 25 players – the Tier 1 group – are unveiled.

What You Won’t See

When selecting from the top dynasty players, I lean heavily towards hitters. So, in this tier, there are only three pitchers, four if you count an athlete who is out of this world.

You also are going to see a lot of players aged 30 or younger. Of the 25 players in this tier, only two players are older than 30. It’s pretty obvious why, but in case you need it explained – you want the top players for as long as possible, so youth is the obvious choice when building a dynasty team.

What You Will See

While Tier 2 features nine middle infielders, this tier is heavy on outfielders – 10 to be exact. These players don’t just hit homers or for average or just steal bases. These are the five- and four-tool players that lead dynasty teams to championships.

And if you have been asking yourself where the top corner infielders have been during the countdown, well they are here as nine corner infielders grace this tier.

With that said, let’s get on with the 2023 Dynasty Rankings: Players 25-1.

Happy March, friends! Spring training is finally in full swing, which is glorious, but with it comes the usual flurry of fantasy team-altering injuries, which are not so glorious. Hope you are enjoying the preseason and dodging the injury bullets as we all put our pretend teams together for 2023. Last week we chatted about […]

This is a story as old as time. You enter the draft with the fervor of a hormone-raged teenager while donning a cap with YOLO embroidered on the front. Outfield? It’s super deep. Let me handle my business with the rest of the squad. So, you’ve got one hand on the steering wheel while the other is trying to find some good tunes on the radio as you cruise down the fantasy draft highway. The windows are down and the wind blows the hair into Picasso art. Round marker after round marker whizz by, then a dread encompasses the cabin of the car like a nasty fart; I need outfielders. With leagues requiring five outfielders, the once vast player pool dissipates quickly like a Sahara watering hole during the summer. One name that is often dredged up is Mike Yastrzemski. He is far from sexy and there’s a reason he’s in the dredges in the first place, but is he trash or a diamond in the rough?

Freshmen mashing. Big-hype college arms answering the call and overlooked hurlers raising eyebrows. Star transfers being cleared to compete. And then there’s me, sitting in a ballpark seat taking it all in, chomping on some Trolli sour gummy worms, and trying to digest college baseball as it stands in the year 2023. Things look a little differently with the enforcement of the pitch clock and rules regulating pitchers’ abilities to throw to bases (or in some cases, forcing them to throw to bases). But the talent pool is still elite and so is the product. If you haven’t tuned in yet, I highly recommend that you do. There’s a whole other world of baseball out there waiting to be consumed, with a seemingly endless group of tomorrow’s MLB stars waiting in the wings. We’ll go over a handful of those players in this week’s Collegiate Corner.
