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.

1. RHP Nolan McLean | 24 | MLB | 2025

McLean might actually be a little closer to Lincecum than Tong in terms of stuff and approach to the game. His is more or less a “let’s see if you can hit this” style of pitching, featuring nasty stuff that moves all over the zone. He throws six different pitches at least nine percent of the time, and his sweeper is the only one that’s gotten hit this season. He’s throwing it 26 percent of the time even though batters are hitting .361 with a .528 slugging percentage against it. If he can back off on that pitch and maintain the results from the others, he’s going to be a monster for a long time. At 6’2” 212 lbs with another life as a position player, he’s got a lot of upside that the Mets are quickly unearthing. To even call it upside feels ludicrous looking at his 2.08 ERA through 48 major league innings. Reading these last few sentences back to myself made me bump McLean ahead of Tong, for what that’s worth.

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 […]

Your early […]

How are we down to the final two weeks of the regular season? It always feels like the season is slogging along, and then the end comes out of nowhere. It’s a sad reality because the everyday grind of the regular season is one of my favorite aspects of fantasy baseball. That’s why I love […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! The Fantasy Gods have blessed us with some pretty sweet and savory starts from the rookie class of 2025.  Jacob Misiorowski? All he did was cause a country-wide uproar when he was named to the All-Star team. Chase Burns? Oh, he didn’t do much. Other than fire 101 MPH heaters by […]

Nothing is normal in Seattle this year. It’s like grunge has returned but as a clean-shaven Buddy Holly Happy Days music. Coffee is now tea, and the space needle is shooting adrenaline directly into our hearts. This team is an offensive juggernaut, emphasis on jugger, deemphasize naut. They were in Atlanta yesterday, who is also […]

I want to take you guys behind the scenes before presenting you with this week’s streamers. My prep for this article is usually printing out next week’s schedule and then finding 5-10 streamers that I like. I always limit that down to a handful of extensive write-ups, but this week is different. My list this […]

Happy Monday, and welcome to September, Razzball faithful! So last weekend, when I took the kids to the Neil Young concert, we had some time to kill beforehand. As luck would have it, the concert venue was located inside the same place where the annual “Toronto Exhibition” is held. The Ex is kind of like […]
