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.
