Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! If you’re a fan of numbers, I have some good news for you. They’re real. And they’re fantastic. In the words of the famous American poet, Carlton Ridenhour… “Here it is. Bam! And you say, ‘God Damn’. This is the dope jam.” Maybe it’s not as dope as you expected, but […]

Prospect News: Top 25 For 2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball
January 21, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 24 Commentsby: The Itch
1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2026
A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.

Please, blog, may I have some more? Prospect News: Never Met A Pricier Maybe or Bichette, Please
January 18, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 18 Commentsby: The Itch
I couldn’t stop circling the same thought Friday in the aftershock of Kyle Tucker to Los Angeles then Bo Bichette to New York: these Mets look like the worst team you could put together while spending $336 million. Their ace is Nolan McLean: a prospect I really like but also an inexperienced rookie. All rookies lack experience, but McLean was a two-way player until just a few years ago. Again, no shade, it’s just weird to spend $336 million on a baseball team and have mostly question marks on the pitching staff.

2026 Dynasty Fantasy Baseball Rankings: 200-176
January 14, 2026 | Fantasy Baseball Rankings | 24 Commentsby: Jakkers
Another week is in the books, meaning I welcome you back for another installment of the 2026 Dynasty Rankings. After two weeks of looking at huge chunks of players, we finally get down to the smaller groupings of 25 players each week.
There are a few players in the below rankings that could be much better than where they are currently ranked. If I am building a team from scratch and doing these rankings, I’d bump them up. But not everyone is building from scratch – they are trying to fill holes and thus care more about the present than the upside some players may have. So my balancing act means the players landed in this group.

In the top 10 Mets prospects list, Nolan McLean was ranked first, there Itch said, “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 […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?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.
Please, blog, may I have some more?Shhh… Guess who’s back. Back again. So, I managed to sneak in the back door of Razzball HQ after the regular season finished, and before the security guard padlocked the door. I don’t want to get anyone too excited. But I have some good news. We’ve got ONE MORE Top 100 Starting Pitchers post to […]
Please, blog, may I have some more? New York Mets Top 10 Prospects For 2026 Fantasy Baseball
September 28, 2025 | Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Featured | 2 Commentsby: The Itch
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.
