1. OF Jasson Dominguez | 22 | MLB | 2023

The 5’9” 190 lb switch-hitting Martian will be a “big part” of the 2025 team according to manager Aaron Boone. If he’s 190 lbs, I’m Miles Davis. Not that I’m in any kind of shape to be sniping. Time is a mfr. As is snacking. On the other hand, time plus snacking equals The Itch, so here we are and here we go. If I had to bet right now, I suspect the Yankees will wind up without Juan Soto, paving the way for Dominguez to get a full season of big league at bats. He hit just .179 in 18 games last year, but it’s way different to get dropped into a pennant race fighting for playing time than it would be to open the season with a starting gig. Feels kind of foolish to say this given the hype Dominguez brought into his professional career, especially because I’ve never been as high as consensus on him, but I think we underestimate this dude at our peril.

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.

1. OF Roman Anthony | 20 | AAA | 2025

A left-handed hitter at 6’2” 200 lbs, Anthony slashed .291/.396/.498 with 18 home runs and 21 stolen bases in 119 games across the top two minor league levels in 2024, setting himself up to fight for a spot in spring training. He got just 35 games at Triple-A but slashed .344/.463/.519 there and doesn’t have anything left to prove in the minor leagues. Here’s a bit of what I wrote when I ranked him atop this list last season: 

“I’m just trying to say he’s a player in flux and reminds me a little of Ronald Acuña at this stage in the sense that he’s got more than one path ahead of him as a hitter and could become a total-package type who slashes .300/.400/.500 on the regular.”

So far so good on this one.

1. C Samuel Basallo | 20 | AAA | 2025 

Basallo has virtually zero chance of unseating Adley Rutschman while Adley is in town, which isn’t the end of the world because he could still sub there while mixing in at first base and DH. Nonetheless, the Inn is pretty crowded in Baltimore, and they love their reclamation projects, so who knows how long Basallo will have to wait for some extended playing time. I’m trying not to let that detract too much from a guy who I think will really hit. He even swiped ten bags last year as a 6’4” 190 lb catcher, an interesting development for an average runner playing against guys who are much older than him. He’s a good throwing catcher, so perhaps he pays a little more attention to who else might be full of openings.

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.

1. 1B Bryce Eldridge | 20 | AAA | 2026

Here’s what I said on August 28 in Prospect News: Bryce Eldridge Brings The Horror:

“Giants 1B Bryce Eldridge (19, A+) is making a push for consensus Top 25 prospect status heading into the off-season. In 42 High-A games, he’s slashing .307/.421/.503 with seven home runs and three steals. His 16.3 percent walk rate and 24.7 percent strikeout rate are incredibly exciting numbers for a 6’7” high-school draftee with 80-grade power.”

The big lefty then spent September split between Double and Triple-A, spending nine games with Richmond and then the final eight with Sacramento. Tough to say where he’ll open 2025, but he could wind up in the majors by season’s end.
