Prospect News: Dynasty Rankings: 2025 First-Year-Player Drafts
February 12, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 19 Commentsby: The Itch
1. Dodgers RHP Roki Sasaki
He’s alone in this year’s class. I saw the 1.1 pick get traded for Logan Gilbert in a 15-team dynasty league. Other pieces were involved, but nothing to make the previous sentence untrue. Seems like a bit much for me. I prefer Gilbert by a long way and struggle to see how Sasaki could get even close to Gilbert’s 208.2 innings from 2024, never mind his 0.89 WHIP. This kind of trade is what makes dynasty leagues go round: sex v. substance. Door number three v. a car you could drive on the autobahn right now. Shop Sasaki if you have the chance to do so, is what I’m suggesting.

1. LHP Noah Schultz | 21 | AA | 2026
At 6’9” 220 lbs with a low-three-quarters release, Schultz brings a unique look that has helped him dominate throughout his minor league career. His command feels like an overlooked part of the profile, as he spots his slider extremely well, especially for a pitch with that much movement, which gives him upside beyond his pitch-mix. Despite the dominant outcomes (0.98 WHIP in 88.1 innings across two levels), his changeup has work to do, and his fastball could use some tweaking to play better up in the zone, but I suspect, given his delivery and release, a cutter and sinker will be auditioned at some point, so his fastball could be separated into a few different pitches (4-seam, sinker, cutter) across time, at which point he’d be a nightmare matchup for just about anybody.

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, […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?With the reported promotion of Paul Skenes to the Pittsburgh Pirates on Wednesday afternoon, it’s fair to wonder who could be primed to follow the fireballer as the No. 1 overall selection in the MLB Draft this July. Last year’s college trio at the top of the draft class was a historically strong group, led by Skenes and followed by outfielders Dylan Crews and Wyatt Langford. This summer is poised to have an equally-as-lethal top three, headlined by Georgia’s Charlie Condon and Florida’s Jac Caglianone, who are primed for an all-time great Golden Spikes race down the stretch. Arkansas southpaw Hagen Smith is right there with them as this year’s top collegiate arm, but what Condon and Caglianone are doing is truly historic and both players should be positioned firmly at the top of your first-year player draft boards. But who should go first overall and who should you have at No. 1 for your FYPD?

Way Too Early Top-25 College Prospects For The 2024 MLB Draft
August 31, 2023 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects | 2 Commentsby: Hobbs
There isn’t much of a consensus opinion surrounding the 2024 MLB Draft, particularly with this year’s grouping of collegiate talent. I’ve seen North Carolina’s Vance Honeycutt, West Virginia’s JJ Weatherholt, Tennessee’s Chase Burns, and Florida’s Jac Caglianone, among other players, all ranked as the No. 1 prospect by various publications. I have to agree because there are a lot of standout tools at the top of this draft but also a lot of high-ceiling players with unrefined aspects of their game or question marks in one or more areas. The fall practice season is going to go a long way in determining the 2024 preseason draft board, with the campaign to follow undoubtedly shaking the trees clean. Who knows, a bald-headed Jonathan Mayo even might come tumbling out of the timber after all of the information we uncover in this year’s crop. Anywho, here are my way-too-early rankings for the 2024 college draft class, with thorough insight to be provided on each player throughout the months ahead.
