Hello everyone, welcome back to another edition of my positional dynasty rankings.

This week the spotlight shines on the top 50 dynasty shortstops for 2027 fantasy baseball. I have tackled a number of positions already, and if you missed a post, please look at the list at the bottom and catch up.

The top 16 or so shortstops are worth targeting early because they are young (well, most of them), hit for power, drive in runs and steal bases – in other words they offer something across the board. As we get deeper into the position, a lot of that balance disappears and most of the players offer one tool, though speed is pretty good from top to bottom.

As a group, the strength of this position, especially those ranked in Tier 1 and 2, is the stolen bases, runs scored and overall youth. Compared to second basemen, the shortstop position supplies more runs, power and steals, especially if CJ Abrams and Fernando Tatis are removed from the second base category. But when it comes to power, the corner infield and outfield positions are the place to go compared to this position outside the top 10 to 15 players.

Now, let’s get on with the rankings.

Hello everyone, welcome back to another edition of my positional dynasty rankings.

This week the spotlight shines on the top 50 dynasty second basemen for 2027 fantasy baseball. I have tackled a number of positions already, and if you missed a post, please look at the list at the bottom and catch up.

As a group, second base is a balanced but light hitting position as it ranks near the bottom in home runs hit, beating only the catcher position. The position does offer some strengths. When it comes to batting average, the top 10 players had a .273 average, better than the Tier 1 players at first base, third base, catcher and DH. The position also offers a lot of speed and versatility as many of the players qualify at two or three positions. Additionally, the top players are also relatively young, especially the top-ranked players.

Pittsburgh Pirates pitching prospect powered past six pristine innings putting on a powerful performance as he piled up nine punchouts! Is that too long for a headline? I really went full stop into the alliteration there, I’m so sorry, let me try again. Bucs heartthrob Jared Jones allowed just four base runners Friday to pick […]

When I began this series of rankings with the top 10 college baseball prospects, it was explained that I would be detailing “the top 10 college baseball prospects to target mid-season (and beyond).” As we embark on this incredible journey (which is a wholesome, classic film chronicling the beautiful friendship of dog, cat and dog again), I must forewarn you that we have officially crossed the threshold into the “beyond.” Yes, that is correct – I am indeed your tour guide, Michael Newman (as played by Adam Sandler), who will now use his universal remote control to reveal to you with 100% projection accuracy college prospects No. 11-25 as it relates to future fantasy output.

Before getting into the thick of things, I need to make two very brief and entirely unrelated remarks that will in no way provide any meat to the bones of this article. First, I apologize for the excess of film references I have made already, but don’t expect them to be curtailed any time soon. Second, if you truly have not seen The Incredible Journey, drop what you’re doing right now and buy it on Amazon Prime for $2.99. Best three dollars you’ll ever spend. Even better than the authentic George Springer banging stick I snagged off ebay for three measly bills.

As we dive into the latter stages of these rankings, one thing needs to be made seriously clear: with the exception of a few names on this list, the vast majority to follow likely fall under the category of finds for deeper leagues only. If you’re in a serious dynasty league in which the draft is primarily prospects and upcoming college guys on an annual basis, I would consider all of these players. Use the information given below and then draw your own conclusions about who to target based on the specificity of your league.
