Please see our player page for Sal Stewart 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.

Excuse the exposition and this clunky intro into the aforementioned exposition, but here’s the catchers to target, 1st basemen to target, 2nd basemen to target, and shortstops to target. These 3rd basemen to target are being drafted after 200 overall. Hopefully, you drafted Jose Ramirez or Maikel Garcia or Manny Machado already, because, otherwise, you’re […]

Angels SS Zach Neto 39.9

Neto might be paying a price for being on the Angels, and that’s not totally unwarranted given that runs and RBI might be hard to find. Still, he hit 26 homers and stole 26 bases while batting .257 in his age 24 season on a team with little lineup protection. He’s going after a trio of first basemen in Matt Olson, Rafael Devers, and Bryce Harper, and I totally understand that impulse to take the safest bats you can find. I just prefer the five-category contributions of a guy like Neto, who’s going almost ten spots higher than this in the NFBC: 30.37 since March 1 (121 drafts).

Jordan Westburg is dealing with a partially torn UCL. “Don’t worry,” a fantasy baseball ‘pert once said, “There’s a few mid-level 2nd basemen and 3rd basemen to draft.” Another fantasy baseball ‘pert said, “There’s no fretting but fretting itself,” he said misquoting FDR like he was a 1950’s Southern woman. Now, that guy who is […]

Welcome back, everyone. I hope everyone is finally thawing out from the winter weather. If not, all I can say is stay warm and I am glad that I do not live in the northern states! If it hits the 20s here the world ends!

While we deal with whatever the weather wants to throw our way, the 2026 Dynasty Rankings continues with its countdown. This week I highlight the players ranked from No. 150 to No. 126.

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

SP: 2
C: 3 | 1B: 1 | 2B: 3 | 3B: 1 | SS: 4 | IF: 1
LF: 5 | CF: 1 | RF: 2 | OF: 1
IF/OF: 1
Ages 20-24: 6

Are the top 20 1st basemen for 2026 fantasy baseball good? How do you define good? Is good definable? Are you Plato? What is a Plato? Any hoo! This post goes on for about 1.8 million words, so let’s dive in. Here’s Steamer’s 2026 Fantasy Baseball Projections for Hitters and 2026 Fantasy Baseball Projections for Pitchers. The […]

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.

1. 3B Sal Stewart | 22 | MLB | 2025

The 32nd overall pick in 2022, Stewart enjoyed a breakout season in 2025, slugging more than .500 for his first time as a professional. At 6’1” 224 lbs with plus plate skills, he’s always had latent power that could make him a force in fantasy baseball. He likes to run and stole 17 bases in 20 attempts across two minor league levels, but he’s not fast: 14th percentile sprint speed according to statcast. Don’t have to be fast to steal some bags these days, and Stewart will probably find a half-dozen or so free bases even early in his career as he did in this year’s postseason. In 138 total games across three levels, he hit 25 home runs and stole 18 bases while hitting .300 with a great strikeout-to-walk rate. Should open next season as a rookie-of-the-year frontrunner.

Well, we did it, Razzballers. We’ve reached the end of another season together (my third around these parts!) and weathered the ups and downs of six months of the greatest sport known to man. We laughed. We cried. We celebrated when the offense-focused youth movement at catcher led to a new option to cover often […]
