Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Deep leaguers, rejoice! We’ve arrived at your favorite stop on the Preseason Starting Pitching whirlwind that is the Top 100 Starting Pitchers list tour! Last year, I titled this one “The Next Next 100 Or No Dessert Until You Finish Your Brandon Sproats.” This was where we peeked in on the […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! It’s an updated version of the Top 100 Starting Pitchers for 2026 Fantasy Baseball this week, with fresh ADP adjustments since last week’s grouping of names and numbers. And, because it can’t all be sunshine and rainbows, there is a bit of Goldilocks at play here. It’s nearly impossible to find […]

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 […]

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! I’m BACK for another session of Preseason Starting Pitchers that will eventually turn into the Top 100 Starting Pitchers List (I promise!). For this week, I was unsure as to whether or not I’d be able to roll out my Top 10 for 2026. As I said before, I don’t want […]

51. Astros RHP Tatsuya Imai | 27 | NPB | 2026

Imai has been dominant in Japan since 2022 when he was 24 years old with a 2.04 ERA and 1.11 WHIP. 2025 was his best season yet. He recorded a 1.92 ERA and 0.89 WHIP, representing a big leap forward in command. His walk rate of 2.5 per nine innings was a full walk better than his previous career-best mark of 3.6. Imai generates these results on the back of a fastball-slider combination against righties with a splitter against lefties. Houston’s still having a lot of success with pitchers, and I’m betting that continues with Imai. You can move him up this list in deeper leagues or win-now windows.

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.

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! We’re almost done! And if you’re anything like me at this point, you’re wondering, “What are the two most important things that warrant attention as we round out the fantasy season?” Well, I’ve got some good news for you in the form of a couple of fancy bulleted sentences. Your early […]

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 […]
