Today’s journey through the recaps take us to the 1st basemen. They’re better than the top 20 catchers for 2024 fantasy baseball (not clickbait at all), but by how much? How do I explain that? I have an idea! By recapping them! To recap my recap before the recap, this final ranking is from our Fantasy Baseball Player Rater […]

1. OF Justin Crawford | 21 | AA | 2025

A right-handed thrower and left-handed hitter at 6’2” 188 lbs, Justin Crawford evokes his father at a glance and on the field, prompting the Phillies to take him 17th overall in 2022. The game moved in his direction over that off-season, opening up the base paths to speedsters with the aggression to run. In 110 games across two levels this year, Crawford swiped 42 bases in 51 attempts while slashing .313/.360/.444 with nine home runs and 93 strikeouts.

Start the drum roll!  Twenty-seven weeks down and now we have twenty-five more until the start of next year’s fantasy baseball season.  It’s (almost) perfect symmetry because fantasy baseball is the perfect fantasy sport.  But, before we turn our eyes to next season we first have to recap this past season, and with that, our […]

1. OF Jett Williams | 20 | AAA | 2025

A wrist injury that required surgery cost the 5’7” 175 lb Williams most of this season, but he returned in time for six games in Triple-A and posted a .533 on base percentage. Prospect development is not linear, and Williams has lost some key development time, but he’s in the Corbin Carroll bucket as a top tier athlete with elite hands who can cheat the norms. He’s played just 36 games in the upper minors but could look like an opening day roster option next season, and even if he’s sent down for seasoning (the likeliest outcome), he could force his way into the lineup by May.

Emerging from your mother’s basement after six months, “I did it! I won my fantasy baseball league!” It begins to dawn on you that the world no longer looks as you remember it. Where there were once blossoming trees, there’s now decaying branches. Where flowers once sprouted, shriveled vines remained. A tumbleweed blows past. Minutes […]

1. C Agustin Ramirez | 23 | AAA | 2025

Even when/if he’s not hitting, Ramirez could still be useful for fantasy purposes next year as a sneaky steals asset from a spot without many steals to spare. He should also be playing every day no matter what happens, mixing in at Designated Hitter sometimes when he’s not catching. In 39 games with the Triple-A Marlins, he slashed .262/.358/.447 with five home runs and four stolen bases. He had 25 homers and 22 steals in 126 games across two levels on the season. That would look pretty good in anyone’s catcher spot.

Welcome back to the final 2024 edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players series.

With the regular season winding down, most fantasy leagues seasons are done outside of the few still determining their champion this weekend. While fantasy seasons are basically done, that does not mean you are finished with your dynasty league. In fact, now is the start of the 2025 season!

Just like real MLB teams, the offseason doesn’t mean you get to put your feet on the table and not think about your team until February or March. The offseason is the time for you to make your plans for next season.

Who should you target in free agency or draft. What prospects should you go after? Which players should I target in a trade?

And if you really want to be prepared, now is the time to start putting together your rankings. (NOTE: If that is a daunting task for you, don’t fret! After a few weeks off, I will be back with the position-by-position dynasty rankings throughout the offseason. That will then lead into my overall player rankings ahead of spring training.)

Let’s circle back to a player you should target this offseason. My final player to highlight this year is Rhett Lowder of the Cincinatti Reds. This is a player who was pitching at Wake Forest just last year. Now, after only 22 games of minor league experience, he is pitching for the Reds.

So let’s take a look at Lowder
