Please see our player page for Payton Tolle to see projections for today, the next 7 days and rest of season as well as stats and gamelogs designed with the fantasy baseball player in mind.

Maybe it’s because seventeen billion rookie pitchers were called up this past August/September, but it feels like there’s more pitchers in this year’s crop of rookie fantasy outlook posts, and also I won’t be doing anymore pitchers. One more on Friday, then on Monday starts the fantasy baseball sleepers and rankings start on Patreon. That […]

1. SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027

Arias signed for $525,000 as the second highest paid player in Boston’s 2023 international class. Today, that looks like money well invested. A right-handed hitter listed at 5’11” 170 lbs, Arias wasn’t as good in 2025 as he had been the year before, but he was facing much older competition and still managed a 108 wRC+ in 87 High-A games despite slashing .265/.329/.380. The plate skills were still elite: 8.2% walk rate against an 8.9% strikeout rate, so the organization waved him along to Double-A for a ten-game stretch at season’s end. He hits the ball hard enough. Just needs to add some loft and grow into some man-strength.

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.

In exactly three weeks, we can begin to get excited about the Orioles again. Forget Gunnar’s bad season — his what season? I don’t know in three weeks. Can re-glimmerize Jackson Holliday. Can start thinking Mayo is cool and not just Michael Helman’s hot streak. Is Grayson returning at some point? Great! Dylan Beavers? Damn […]

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 […]

Colorado Rockies starting pitcher—wait, what? Seriously? Well, alright then, let’s do 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 […]

Note: Anyone promoted during the current season is ineligible for the stash list.

 

1. Cardinals SS JJ Wetherholt (22, AAA) 

St. Louis has struggled to sort its pieces for about a decade, so it’s no surprise we haven’t seen Wetherholt in the majors despite him lighting the Triple-A level on fire for a month, slashing .301/.391/.628 with nine home runs and five stolen bases in 29 games. He’s my pick for 2026 National League Rookie of the Year, and I think he’ll open the season with the big league club, but it’s always a little scary waiting on a young Cardinal to get his chance to take flight.
