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.

Top 100 Prospects For 2025 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

76. Mariners SS Colt Emerson | 19 | A+ | 2026

After the success of Cole Young, the Mariners went for a similar prospect at the 22 spot in the 2023 draft: Colt Emerson, a left-handed hitting middle infielder at 6’1” 195 lbs with excellent hands in the batter’s box. He came roaring out of the gate in his draft season but battled injury in 2024, missing two stretches and playing 70 games total, the final 29 coming at High-A, where Emerson was overmatched for the first time as a pro, slashing .225/.331/.317 with two home runs and nine stolen bases. If you’re looking at this ranking and thinking he’s way better than most guys you find in the sixth spot, you’re right. The Mariners have a handful of 50’s here; you could toggle them three-through-six to your specifications.

Detroit Tigers Top 10 Prospects For 2025 Fantasy Baseball

1. RHP Jackson Jobe | 22 | MLB | 2024

At his best, Jobe pairs impeccable command with incredible spin rates. His four-pitch mix is headlined by a hungry four-seamer that eats all over the strike zone, where he might need to live a little more going forward, even as he managed a 1.95 ERA and 1.04 WHIP despite a 4.64 BB/9 rate across 73.2 Double-A innings. He allowed just two home runs over that stretch. He’ll almost certainly look like one of the team’s five best starters in spring training, but he’s thrown just 13 innings above Double-A, so there’s at least a chance he opens the season in Triple-A. The name itself portends at least a little suffering before reaching the promised land.

1. Guardians 2B Travis Bazzana | 21 With Bazzana, the Guardians get their most polished draft prospect in a long time, but he’s not a floor play by any means. At six foot even out of Australia, Bazzana has gotten stronger throughout his career in college ball and added significant impact to his plus-contact profile, […]
