Happy New Year, everyone. We are one day closer to the start of the baseball season, which is really all we care about.

Today I tackle the second large group of player rankings in the Top 400 Dynasty Players for 2025. This is the 300-201 player grouping. After today, the final 200 players will be broken down into groups of 25.

In case you are new to my rankings, here is a simple breakdown of how I put these together…

Welcome back to the Top 50 Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. Today is the end of the road for this series as the focus falls on the right fielders as well as the few designated hitters worth talking about.

Before focusing on the right fielders, I want to give a quick rundown of the top 10 designated hitters. A few of the players may be able to get eligibility in the field in 2025, but most will likely remain tethered to the UTL slot in 2025. But thanks to their ability to hit, they are still solid to great players to have on your team.

As for the right field position, it ranks as one of the best positions as far as depth and talent. Lots of sluggers live in right field while there are also a host of players who can provide steals as well as a solid slash line.

But enough chatter. Let’s get on with the rankings, first the top 10 designated hitters followed by the top 50 right fielders.

At this point in the fantasy baseball season, only the last trade deadlines remain. For everyone else, the waiver wire is the only hope for those teams still battling for glory. This week, we set our sights on what can be done for those teams that have packed it up and are looking ahead. Setting up for the 2025 season, we’re dredging the depths of the unwanted and forgotten for keeper value that could pay off handsomely. Whether due to an injury-shortened season, terrible luck, or simply underappreciation, there is still work to be done. Welcome to this edition of hitter profiles—we’re browsing the bargain bins, hoping to stumble upon a Picasso tucked between the dusty old castoffs.

Welcome back to the second installment of the Fantasy Baseball Dynasty rankings. This week we cover players ranked 200-176.

A quick overview of the group produces these stats:

6 players are 30- or 31-years-old, but no one is older than 31
3 players are 24 or younger
3 players are infielders
10 players are outfielders
12 players are pitchers – five starters and seven relievers

The number of pitchers should not be surprising. I don’t have any relievers ranked in any future groupings because I can get closers and setup men pretty easily throughout the season. As for the starting pitchers, there is always the need for depth to cover for injuries or ineffective starts throughout the week.

And a reminder – if a top prospect hasn’t reached the majors yet, they won’t be in these rankings. Itch has been running down the top prospects per team and will continue his great work. No need for me to repeat what he says.

Now on to the Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Rankings: 200-176…

This is it – the final installment of the Top 2024 Keepers. We started with relief pitchers back in the beginning of October and today we wrap things up with the right fielders.

Keeper Catchers
Keeper First Basemen
Keeper Second Basemen
Keeper Shortstops
Keeper Third Basemen
Keeper Left Fielders
Keeper Center Fielders

The top players in this position group are some of the top players in all of baseball. I would be more than happy to build my team around the players I ranked in Tier 1. And the depth of this position is pretty strong. I have no qualms having any of the players in Tiers 2 and 3 on my team while players in the lower tiers still can offer value to a fantasy team.

So let’s get to the rankings.

The last few weeks our hitter profiles have focused on some deep sleepers to add to your late round draft board.  This week we are going to buck that trend and take a peak at some big names that come with an even bigger price tag.  Too often factors like youth, upside, discovery bias and more come together and deceive our draft capital.  Yes, this is the article where we say Lars Nootbar is going to bust, Michael Harris II is too expensive and Bobby Witt Jr. will see the sophomore slump.  Some may say this is blasphemy, but it might just be the perspective you need.

Happy New Year! As the calendar gets set to flip to 2023, it means we are that much closer to the start of the baseball season once again. Thank goodness for fantasy baseball, otherwise the winter months would really drag on.

This week we are doing one final look at the 2023 Top Keepers by position as we wrap up with right fielders.

The Power Position

Of the three outfield spots, right field produced the most power in 2022 as the average was 21 homers and 75 RBI with 10 steals to go with a .241/.309/.405 slash line. And Aaron Judge didn’t inflate those numbers. Judge actually started more games in center (74) than right (54) this past season and hit 32 homers while playing in center compared to 19 as a right fielder.

Eleven of the Top 30 ranked players below hit 25 or more homers. But the position also has players who can steal bases as 11 players reached double digits in that category in 2022.

Overall, it is a pretty deep position and one of the more experienced positions in my rankings. Of the 30 ranked players, 12 are 30 years old or older. But there is still a lot of great, young talent – players who are going to be great keepers for years.

So let’s get past the small talk and take dive into the 2023 Top Keepers – Right Fielders.
