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…

Kansas City Royals Top 10 Prospects For 2025 Fantasy Baseball

December 29, 2024 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 14 Comments

1. 1B Jac Caglianone | 22 | A+ | 2026

Announced as a two-way player, Caglianone was deployed first in the pros as a full-time hitter after slashing .419/.544/.875 with 35 home runs in 66 games for Florida. The well-developed, left-handed college bat made a nice fit at sixth overall for a Royals team on the rise. With Vinnie P at the slow corner, Caglianone could perhaps fake left field until he figured it out if necessary. The arm would even play in right once he’s accustomed to the angles, but at 6’5” 250 lbs, he may not have the mobility to learn on the fly out there. He didn’t blow the doors off the leagues he’s played as a pro but did pop five homers in 21 games in the Arizona Fall League.

Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025: 400-301

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.

Prospect News: The Trade Winds Of Winter

A portion of the pitching market is waiting to see where Roki Sasaki goes, but that didn’t stop Washington from taking a flier on Mike Soroka, who salvaged his 2024 season by becoming a dominant reliever. You might’ve seen the stats already, but his full-season strikeout rate of 24.8 percent and WHIP of 1.38 doesn’t tell the tale of his final few months, during which he recorded a 43.3 percent strikeout rate and 0.90 WHIP over 23.1 innings. Baseball folks have long suspected that Soroka’s command could lead to an increased strikeout rate across time; just didn’t expect the leap to happen all at once out of the bullpen. That’s life though. Development is not linear, and it’s no real surprise that Soroka’s evolution happened after the career near-death experience of failing out of the White Sox starting rotation. He’s an excellent sleeper candidate for 2025 even as his price will no doubt rise while the dreamers gather around the glow of Soroka’s small-sample peripherals.
