Welcome back to the Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025 series. Last week I listed my 50 Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025, so we move forward to starting pitchers this week.

This is one of the tougher groups to rank. Thanks to the nature of pitching, it seems half of all starting pitchers are recovering from Tommy John or some other shoulder/elbow injury every season, dwindling the number of quality starters down to a handful.

There is also the subjectivity of ranking starting pitchers. Everyone attacks building a starting staff differently in dynasty leagues…

1. RHP Chase Burns | 22 | NCAA | 2025

Burns set a new single-season NCAA record with 191 strikeouts in 100 innings for Wake Forest. That’s the kind of math I can get behind. Seems like he’s striking out about two guys per innings, which seems like a good plan. His slider just isn’t something college hitters are used to seeing. Isn’t something any hitter is used to seeing, really. Plays like an 80 when he’s commanding it, which he usually is. Usually commands his 100 mph fastball well, too, and while he’s got a little Kirby in him in the sense that people hit his fastball more than makes obvious sense, he’s not doomed to that fate, given his incredible athleticism and clear growth arc across time.

Emerging from your mother’s basement after six months, “I did it! I won my fantasy baseball league!” It begins to dawn on you that the world no longer looks as you remember it. Where there were once blossoming trees, there’s now decaying branches. Where flowers once sprouted, shriveled vines remained. A tumbleweed blows past. Minutes […]

Welcome back to the final 2024 edition of Up-and-Coming Dynasty Players series.

With the regular season winding down, most fantasy leagues seasons are done outside of the few still determining their champion this weekend. While fantasy seasons are basically done, that does not mean you are finished with your dynasty league. In fact, now is the start of the 2025 season!

Just like real MLB teams, the offseason doesn’t mean you get to put your feet on the table and not think about your team until February or March. The offseason is the time for you to make your plans for next season.

Who should you target in free agency or draft. What prospects should you go after? Which players should I target in a trade?

And if you really want to be prepared, now is the time to start putting together your rankings. (NOTE: If that is a daunting task for you, don’t fret! After a few weeks off, I will be back with the position-by-position dynasty rankings throughout the offseason. That will then lead into my overall player rankings ahead of spring training.)

Let’s circle back to a player you should target this offseason. My final player to highlight this year is Rhett Lowder of the Cincinatti Reds. This is a player who was pitching at Wake Forest just last year. Now, after only 22 games of minor league experience, he is pitching for the Reds.

So let’s take a look at Lowder

Happy Monday, Razzball faithful! Welcome to the final week of games for the regular season. It’s wild that we’re already here. I’ll save the cheesy, “It feels like just yesterday we were anxiously awaiting that 30/30 season from Wyatt Langford” series of foot-in-the-stomach reflections, and focus on the real reason you’re here. Who the heck […]

“‘Yo, we’ll see you in the playoffs, baby bro!’ Right?! Hahahaha, that’s what Ronald Acuña Jr. said to Luisangel Acuña, right? Because Ronald is playing too, right?” Um, Comatose Braves Fan, how long have you been out? “Roughly six months, I miss anything?” So, Luisangel Acuña was called up this weekend with Lindor tweaking his […]

For those who play in head-to-head leagues, it’s playoff time! The time when you’re looking for every edge you can get against your opponents. So, naturally, MLB teams are doing nothing to help you this week. I blame Rob Manfred. (I blame him for most things.) For one thing, this week’s slate of two start […]

We’ve all been there. The hunger pangs flood over one, but the motivation to cook or even punch in a few selections on today’s private equity-backed delivery app never materializes. Time to crack open the fridge and examine the options. Monday’s spaghetti and Tuesday’s taco meat stare right back. It’s time for leftovers. It’s hard […]
