Here’s a link to the Top 50 Update For Mid-September 2025
51. Twins SS Kaelen Culpepper | 23 | AA | 2026
52. Red Sox LHP Connelly Early | 23 | MLB | 2025
Early looks great in the nascent stages of his Boston tenure, and Culpepper looks like the six of the near future in Minneapolis. Proximity matters a lot to me in dynasty leagues.
53. Cardinals LHP Liam Doyle | 21 | AA | 2026
54. Tigers SS Bryce Rainer | 20 | A | 2029
55. Mets SS Jett Williams | 21 | AAA | 2026
56. Rockies SS Ethan Holliday | 19 | A | 2029
57. White Sox OF Braden Montgomery | 22 | AA | 2027
58. Nationals RHP Jarlin Susana | 22 | AA | 2026
59. Reds SS Steele Hall | 18 | NA | 2029
Volatile tier. Some injury woes in this group. Susana would be much higher if not for a lat injury that required surgery and could slow him down at the start of next season.
Could say something similar about Rainer, who was playing pretty well in Low-A when he went down for the season with a dislocated shoulder.
The Cardinals’ aggression with Doyle makes me a little more eager to snag him before the bats come off the board in some FYPD contexts. If he can command the ball like he was at the end of his college career, he’s going to dominate the minor leagues.
60. Mariners C Harry Ford | 22 | MLB | 2025
61. Diamondbacks OF Ryan Waldschmidt | 23 | AA | 2026
62. Marlins C Joe Mack | AAA | 2026
63. Dodgers OF Mike Sirota | 22 | A+ | 2027
64. Cubs RHP Jaxon Wiggins | 24 | AAA | 2026
65. Yankees RHP Elmer Rodriguez-Cruz | 22 | AA | 2026
I like Ford and Mark, but they don’t have especially clean paths to playing time. Could say something similar about Sirota, although he’s got time for that to clear up, and the Dodgers might be on the precipice of a youth infusion in the outfield. I’m starting to think ER-C is just going to be good right away. Wouldn’t be the first Yankee to make it work from the jump.
66. Angels 2B Christian Moore | 22 | MLB | 2025
67. Giants OF Drew Gilbert | 24 | MLB | 2025
68. Rays SS Carson Williams | 22 | MLB | 2025
69. Mariners SS Michael Arroyo | 21 | AA | 2026
Not really confident in this tier, but they all have name/trade value in the right dynasty context.
70. Rays 1B Xavier Isaac | 21 | AA | 2026
71. Marlins SS Aiva Arquette | 22 | A+ | 2026
72. Mariners OF Jonny Farmelo | 21 | A+ | 2027
73. Blue Jays OF Jojo Parker | 18 | NA | 2029
74. Red Sox OF Jhostnyxon Garcia | 23 | MLB | 2025
Hey look, it’s a fun tier! Maybe I should move these guys up . . .
75. Braves LHP Cam Caminiti | 18 | A | 2028
76. Mariners RHP Ryan Sloan | 20 | A+ | 2027
77. Red Sox RHP Kyson Witherspoon | 21 | NCAA | 2027
Grouped these three together because they’re going to fly through the minors and climb the lists next season, I think.
78. Rockies OF Zac Veen | 23 | MLB | 2025
79. Guardians SS Angel Genao | 21 | AA | 2027
80. Nationals RHP Travis Sykora | 21 | AA | 2027
81. Cardinals OF Joshua Baez | 21 | AA | 2026
82. Marlins OF Kemp Alderman | 23 | AA | 2026
If you know what to do with Zac Veen for dynasty purposes, let us know. It’s odd to see him next to Sykora because they feel kind of similar in that the upside remains but the near-term is discouraging. To the dynasty player in me, Rockies’ prospects currently look similar to pitching prospects who just had elbow surgery. Weird.
83. Athletics LHP Gage Jump | 22 | AA | 2026
84. Reds RHP Rhett Lowder | 23 | MLB | 2024
85. Twins OF Emmanuel Rodriguez | 22 | AAA | 2026
86. Reds SS Tyson Lewis | 20 | A | 2028
87. Twins C Eduardo Tait | 19 | A+ | 2027
88. Nationals SS Eli Willits | 17 | A | 2029
89. Rays RHP Ty Johnson | 24 | AA | 2026
90. Cubs 1B Jonathan Long | 23 | AAA | 2025
Lowder and Rodriguez wear the injury tag a lot. Here’s hoping that’s not the case in 2026. I feel bad for Jump having to pitch in Sacramento, but he’ll be fun to watch anyway.
91. Yankees SS George Lombard Jr. | 20 | AA | 2027
92. Rockies 3B Charlie Condon | 22 | AA | 2026
93. Rays OF Theo Gillen | 20 | A | 2029
94. Cardinals C Leonardo Bernal | 22 | AA | 2026
95. Yankees RHP Carlos Lagrange | 22 | AA | 2026
96. Brewers SS Cooper Pratt | 21 | AA | 2027
97. Cardinals LHP Quinn Mathews | 24 | AAA | 2025
98. Rangers OF Abimelec Ortiz | 23 | AA | 2026
99. Guardians OF Juneiker Caceres | 18 | A | 2029
100. White Sox LHP Noah Schultz | 22 | AAA | 2025
Schultz has tendonitis in his knee that won’t require surgery but might explain some of his issues this season. At 6’10” 240 lbs, he might have this issue more than once throughout his career.
Thanks for reading!
Thanks for the great list…I hold yours as the most accurate in the industry! Thoughts on Cam Smith for next year?
Good stuff as always Itch
