Prospect News: Top 100 For 2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

76. Pirates RHP Seth Hernandez | 19 | NA | 2029

I might wind up low on Seth Hernandez despite loving the player. How could you not? He throws a hundred miles an hour with an adult change-up and solid command. Comes down to timeline stuff. Pittsburgh can develop pitching, but they won’t be in any kind of hurry with Hernandez. They have Oneil Cruz and Paul Skenes today. Jared Jones is on the way back and Bubba Chandler is on the way up. Why take a player who’s five years away? It’s certainly defensible because Hernandez is awesome, but it also feels like old thinking in that a front office shouldn’t draft for short-term impact. We have all seen the opposite over the last several years. Amateur baseball has come a long way. Then I think of Jackson Jobe and Andrew Painter, who’ve both been great in the minors at times but have battled injuries throughout their careers. Can’t predict that, of course, but it’s just hard to point to a high school right-hander who has returned a ton of dynasty value. There’s Hunter Greene, but he’s been hurt, too

Los Angeles Angels Top 10 Prospects For 2026 Fantasy Baseball

Format = Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Highest Level Played | Estimated Time of Arrival

1. OF Nelson Rada | 20 | AAA | 2026

The plusses here are obvious: a legitimate center fielder with solid plate skills from the left side, Rada swiped 54 bases in 135 games across Double-A and Triple-A in 2025, slashing .292/.398/.360 and making huge plate-skills gains when he reached Triple-A. He walked 30 times against 35 strikeouts in his 42 games with Salt Lake, slashing .323/.433/.416 in the cozy hitting environment. He’s always been extremely young for the level – 7.8 years younger than average in Triple-A – and that tends to work out in the aggregate, especially if a teenager like Rada arrives to camp some spring wearing new muscle after a Rocky IV type winter. Rada actually filled out a little bit last offseason and could be quite the fantasy sleeper this year with just a touch more man-strength.

Los Angeles Angels Top 10 Prospects For 2025 Fantasy Baseball

1. 2B Christian Moore | 22 | AA | 2025

Grey wrote about Moore the other day. Here’s a link to his 2025 Fantasy Outlook.

After leading Tennessee to a national title, Moore slashed .322/.378/.533 with five home runs and two stolen bases in 23 Double-A games. We might’ve seen him in the majors if not for injury, and he might open the season in the majors.

2. RHP Caden Dana | 21 | MLB | 2025

A prototypical innings-eater type at 6’4” 215 lbs with easy velocity and three off-speed pitches, Dana repeats his delivery well and commands his arsenal with a deftness beyond his years. He dominated Double-A as a 20-year-old and forced a late-season promotion to LA of A even in a lost season. Well, that might be stretching it a bit. They could’ve just promoted him to Triple-A after he logged a 2.52 ERA in 135.2 innings in Double-A, but that wouldn’t have the same flair as sending him straight to the majors. Probably should’ve sent him to Triple-A around the hundred-inning mark.

Los Angeles Angels Top 10 Prospects For 2024 Fantasy Baseball

1. 1B Nolan Schanuel | 22 | MLB | 2023

The 11th overall pick, Schanuel dominated his competition at Florida Atlantic, especially in a preposterous junior season that saw him slash .447/.615/.868 with 19 home runs and 14 stolen bases in 59 games. The team sent him to the complex for three games then to Low-A for two games. What he showed at those levels with a smattering of singles and walks is probably what he’d shown before they drafted him. Bit of travel for puzzling reasons, is all I’m saying. Then he went to Double-A for 17 games and slashed .333/.474/.467 with twice as many walks as strikeouts. That’ll probably be that for his minor league career: 22 games across three levels. There’s just not much argument for him to spend any time in Triple-A this season after he posted a 112 wRC+ and .402 OBP in 29 major league games. Sure, he didn’t get to his extra base power, and he might benefit from some low-stakes opportunities to focus on that, but spring training should offer that. In a loaded first-year dynasty class, Schanuel is a steal in the middle of the first.

Los Angeles Angels Top 10 Prospects for 2023 Fantasy Baseball

Get it at Home Depot.

Unless “it” is a major league baseball team with a divine team theme.

The Angels are no longer for sale, as of this week.

I’m about 99.9 percent sure the non-sale is not connected to the club’s minor league system, but I can say this group was a pleasant surprise late in the process. Best system Los Angeles of Arte-time has seen in a long time, and the best part is that the best players look like high-probability major league hitters.
