Maybe it’s because seventeen billion rookie pitchers were called up this past August/September, but it feels like there’s more pitchers in this year’s crop of rookie fantasy outlook posts, and also I won’t be doing anymore pitchers. One more on Friday, then on Monday starts the fantasy baseball sleepers and rankings start on Patreon. That […]

1. SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027
Arias signed for $525,000 as the second highest paid player in Boston’s 2023 international class. Today, that looks like money well invested. A right-handed hitter listed at 5’11” 170 lbs, Arias wasn’t as good in 2025 as he had been the year before, but he was facing much older competition and still managed a 108 wRC+ in 87 High-A games despite slashing .265/.329/.380. The plate skills were still elite: 8.2% walk rate against an 8.9% strikeout rate, so the organization waved him along to Double-A for a ten-game stretch at season’s end. He hits the ball hard enough. Just needs to add some loft and grow into some man-strength.
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?Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Last week, I wrote about how this time of the year is a tough one to navigate when you’re deciding on which starting pitchers to activate from week to week. Many teams are managing their pitchers’ workloads, skipping rotation pieces, and calling up young arms for spot starts. Other teams that […]

I’m writing this as Blake Treinen blows the game. I don’t watch the Dodgers that much because it’s blacked out. Clearly, I don’t watch them as much as the Dodgers’ coaching staff watches them, I’d imagine. So, you’d think they’d know what was going to happen. They had to expect Treinen to suck, no? No […]

You ever hear the song Cake By The Ocean and, before ever chorus break, you shout out to the people around you, “This is about Cal Raleigh?” No? Guess we’re not the same. Yesterday, Cal Raleigh went 3-for-5, 3 runs, 3 RBIs with his 55th and 56th homer. I said the other day, I’d bet […]

It feels like it’s been ages, but we’ve actually got a pretty decent batch on offer this week! It’s not the best we’ve had by any means, but it’s more appealing than the last few weeks have produced. And just in time, too, as I know many head-to-head leagues will be using this week to […]

Hello once again, Razzballers! Since we met last week, the IRL MLB races finally shaped into something of interest (well, thanks to the advent of the third Wild Card) with it looking like the AL East, AL West, NL West, and Wild Card races are about to come down to the wire. It’s a reminder […]

Red Sox LHP Connelly Early recorded a 2.60 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 100.1 innings pitched across two levels of minor league play this year to earn his Tuesday night debut. His 31.9 percent strikeout rate and 22.2 strikeout-minus-walk rates were right in line with career norms for the 2023 fifth round pick out of Virginia. His debut was a thing of beauty: five shutout innings with 11 strikeouts. He’s probably not that good, but Boston has been on fire for a while now when it comes to player development, and I’m in no hurry to bet against them.

Connelly Early (5 IP, 0 ER, 6 baserunners, 11 Ks) was called up by the Red Sox. He sounds like a character in The Banshees of Inisherin who you can’t understand a word they’re saying, so you put on subtitles but the subtitles are phonetic and also impossible to understand so you just nod along […]
