Another week is in the books, leading to this weeks Top 100 Dynasty Starting Pitchers for 2026.
Last week we examined the top 50 relievers, and if you missed that post, the link can be found at the bottom of this post. But let’s not look backward. Instead, let’s look toward next year and who I think the top starters are.
Here is a quick snapshot of the age breakdown of starting pitchers:
35+: 9
30-34: 28
25-29: 48
20-24: 15
As you can see, I have a wide range of ages when it comes to the rankings, but I skew heavily to pitchers young than 30 as those who are between the ages of 20-29 make up 63% of the players ranked.
While I am often conservative when it comes to the really young starters, that is reserved mostly for those under the age of 25. Yet I firmly believe in a few of those really young hurlers and they are ranked accordingly high.
So let’s get on with the Top 100 Dynasty Starting Pitchers for 2026.
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. SS Jesús Made | 18 | AA | 2027
A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.
Please, blog, may I have some more?And we’ve reached our final top 20 recap for the infield. You’ll never guess where we go next. Did you just say outfield? Okay, so you’re a good guesser. 3rd base was the shallowest position. Yes, worse than the catchers. I know, I was shocked when I went over them, and guess what? Still shocked! VinWins […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Now that we’ve recapped the top 20 catchers, top 20 1st basemen and top 20 2nd basemen, we’re starting to see clarity on depth of positions, and shortstops are robust, and they will metaphorically eat. Maikel Garcia was a top three 2nd baseman, here he’s 9th. That’s deeper, friend who is thrown by the obvious. […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. 3B Sal Stewart | 22 | MLB | 2025
The 32nd overall pick in 2022, Stewart enjoyed a breakout season in 2025, slugging more than .500 for his first time as a professional. At 6’1” 224 lbs with plus plate skills, he’s always had latent power that could make him a force in fantasy baseball. He likes to run and stole 17 bases in 20 attempts across two minor league levels, but he’s not fast: 14th percentile sprint speed according to statcast. Don’t have to be fast to steal some bags these days, and Stewart will probably find a half-dozen or so free bases even early in his career as he did in this year’s postseason. In 138 total games across three levels, he hit 25 home runs and stole 18 bases while hitting .300 with a great strikeout-to-walk rate. Should open next season as a rookie-of-the-year frontrunner.
Please, blog, may I have some more?We already went over the top 20 catchers and the top 20 1st basemen for 2025 fantasy baseball. Today, we dip our big toe into the top 20 2nd basemen pool. Make sure to go feet first here, because it’s shallow and I don’t want you cracking your medulla oblongata all over the place. The good news is […]

Please, blog, may I have some more?The 2025 baseball season is still not quite finished, but for dynasty league players, the planning for the 2026 season is, or should be, already started.
It is never too soon to start formulating your plan and compiling your lists of the top players you should target in trades or upcoming drafts or auctions. If you want to win the league title next year, the first steps to do that start now.
This is where I step into the picture? In an effort to kickstart your offseason planning, welcome to the first positional breakdown of the 2026 Top Dynasty players. For the next 10 weeks I will break down who I think are the top 50 (or 100 for the starting pitchers) players at each position, with outfielders broken down into left, center and right fielders – not one big blob.
So get your pencils sharpened and pad of paper out (does anyone actually use a pencil and pad of paper these days) to take notes on the Top 50 Dynasty Relievers for 2026.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Grey and B_Don are looking forward to 2026 and drafting their top 20 players on this week’s Razzball Fantasy Baseball Podcast. While they may agree on the top 3 draft picks, what comes after that is anyone’s guess. Do the veterans get the respect they deserve or are we chasing shiny young upside? Steals are […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?1. C Moises Ballesteros | 22 | MLB | 2025
A left-handed hitter listed at 5’8” 215 lbs, Ballesteros puts barrel to ball with the best of them, making contact just about any time he feels like it and minimizing strikeouts every step of his climb to the precipice. In 114 Triple-A games this year, he slashed .316/.385/.473 with 13 home runs and just 67 strikeouts against 49 walks. His bat has outpaced his defensive development, so even though he’s always generated positive outcomes against much older competitors, Ballesteros might have to make a leap behind the plate or wait while the Cubs sort through other options at his position.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shhh… Guess who’s back. Back again. So, I managed to sneak in the back door of Razzball HQ after the regular season finished, and before the security guard padlocked the door. I don’t want to get anyone too excited. But I have some good news. We’ve got ONE MORE Top 100 Starting Pitchers post to […]
