There’s a caveat on my Jasson Dominguez fantasy, where I said he was the top 2025 fantasy baseball rookie for redraft leagues. There’s a huge caveat, ACKSUALLY. Roman Anthony breaks camp and he might be 1A or 1B to Jasson Dominguez, who becomes 1B or 1A or maybe they’re both 1D, and there is no […]

So, I hinted at this in my Jasson Dominguez fantasy when I called him my top rookie for 2025 fantasy baseball. I said Itch gave me two rookies to choose from for the top 2025 fantasy baseball prospect and it was between a hitter and pitcher for him. He sided with Jackson Jobe. I went […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS JJ Wetherholt | 22 | A | 2026
The seventh overall pick out of West Virginia, Wetherholt was in the running to be the number one pick but lost time to a hamstring injury and may have slipped a little due to the relative weakness of the Big 12 Conference. A left-handed hitter at 5’10” 190 lbs, he features double-plus contact skills along with plus power and speed. The Cubs fan in me was disappointed to see Wetherholt land in St. Louis because I think he was a steal at the seven spot. Sure, the conference creates a question or two, but Wetherholt has been good in other settings: Team USA, the Cape Cod League and pro ball now after slashing .295/.405/.400 in 29 Low-A games.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Starting about dozen years ago, I’d highlight the top rookie in all of baseball coming into the year and it was super obvious for about a decade. From Mike Trout through Corbin Carroll, I nailed each one, but everyone sorta did, if I’m being humble. Last year, I said, “There’s no top rookie for fantasy […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?We are three weeks into the Dynasty Keepers for 2025 and today we turn our attention to catchers. This is a position that is mind-numbingly weak as there is not a lot of quality depth.
Few catchers will help you across the board. You may get a catcher who has power but kills your average and on-base percentage. Or you may get a catcher who hits well and gets on base but has no power at all. The average major league hitter this season posted a slash line of .240/.309/.394. Of the 53 catchers I looked at, their average slash line was .238/.300/.381. Basically, this is a position that is below the average player across the board.
Only six catchers hit 20 or more homers and only one reached 30. Only three catchers drove in more than 90 runs. The ones who can do it all are worth their weight in gold as they will give you a huge advantage at that position against opponents if you are lucky enough to land one of these unicorns.
Anyway, let’s get to the rankings.

RHP Bubba Chandler | 22 | AAA | 2025 Here’s what I wrote about Chandler on last year’s list: “His 1.50 WHIP across 24 High-A starts isn’t particularly impressive, but his game log tells a different story.

Please, blog, may I have some more?We’ve gone over the final 2024 fantasy baseball rankings for hitters and the top 20 starters. This is different than Final Fantasy rankings where you rank Final Fantasy 1 thru Final Fantasy 15. That’s hardcore nerd shizz! This is simply fantasy baseball — we’re softcore nerds like Emmanuelle is to porn. So, there’s no more of these […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?All the final 2024 fantasy baseball rankings for hitters are done. For those that skipped today’s title, this starts the top 20 starters for 2024 fantasy baseball. This is NOT for next year (caps for those who can’t read titles; supposedly it’s easier to read caps, I have my doubts). This is a recap. Will […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS Jesus Made | 17 | DSL | 2028
Here’s what I wrote in July for Prospect News: Angel The Guardian or Jesus Made Me Do It:
“Brewers SS Jesus Made (17, DSL) is looking at a long career of awkward puns if he can keep playing like he has so far as a professional, slashing .395/.490/.716 with five home runs, three stolen bases and a 14.6-to-13.5 percent walk-to-strikeout rate. Made was a highly ranked, highly paid signing, but I’m fascinated by Milwaukee’s process as they’re getting results like this while much of the incoming international class is struggling to make contact or has yet to debut. Made is a switch-hitter at 6’1” 187 lbs who is more physically developed than a lot of his peers, so that’s probably a factor.”
He finished the season .331/.458/.554 with six home runs, six triples, nine doubles, and 28 steals in 32 attempts across 51 games. His plate rates were 18.1-to-13, so he walked more and struck out less the rest of the way. Stateside debut could still send things sideways, but this is a stock on a rocket in the prospecting game.
