Please see our player page for Pete Alonso 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.

We’ve officially reached the part of the preseason where optimism runs wild, spreadsheets get obsessive, and every batting practice video looks like a breakout waiting to happen. It’s time to roll out my Top 100 Hitters for the 2026 fantasy baseball season. Over the next four weeks, we’ll move through the list in tiers of 25 at a time. But this isn’t just a name dump or a recycled ranking sheet. This is an assessment of skill trends, underlying indicators, lineup context, park factors, and category scarcity all merged into one beautiful set of rankings. The goal will be to focus on a solid base of hitters while highlighting some of my favorite deviations from draft cost. This Top 100 is built with that lens. Not just who is good. Not just who projects well. But who helps you win based on where they’re being drafted. Let’s build the board — 25 hitters at a time.

Hello everyone and welcome back to another entry of the 2026 Dynasty Baseball Rankings. Baseball is back and all is right with the world, except for where it isn’t but let’s not dwell on that.

Instead, lets dwell on the 25 players I have ranked this year between No. 75 and 51. There is a solid group of starting pitchers ranked below as well as infielders overall, with most of those players being first baseman.

Here is a quick breakdown of the positions and ages of the players:

SP: 9
1B: 5 | 2B: 1 | 3B: 1 | SS: 2 | IF: 1
LF: 2 | OF: 3
Ages 20-24: 2
Ages 25-29: 11
Ages 30-34: 9
Ages 35+: 3

Hello, all you brave, courageous, adventure-seekers, you’ve found the wrong website. This is fantasy baseball, not fantasy role playing, unless it’s fantasy roll-playing and this is Stratomatic, but that’s still not right. Still, fantasy baseball. Good, now that we got rid of all those people wearing fedoras and shopping from the Indiana Jones collection at […]

Another week is in the books, meaning it is time for the weekly dynasty rankings for 2026. This week is the Top 50 Dynasty First Basemen for 2026.

The good news when it comes to this position is it is by far the strongest when it comes to fantasy baseball. Among the eight positions, as a group first basemen ranked second in batting average and first in OBP, SLG, OPS and wRC+. If you are in need of power, this is the position to target as well as tap into to fill out a corner infield slot.

The bad new when it comes to this position is that a lot of the top players in this group are in their 30s. Here is the age breakdown of this position:

35+: 3
30-34: 14
25-29: 27
20-24: 6

Thirty-four percent of the players ranked are 30 or older. Of those 17 players, seven are in the top 20. There are some good, young first basemen, but they are still behind a host of veterans.

From a dynasty standpoint, if you have one of the young guns, be extremely happy. Otherwise you may want to use this position to fill a hole on the short term and and hope the youngsters you target or currently have actually develop.

So let’s get on with the Top 50 Dynasty First Basemen for 2026.
