1. SS Eli Willits | 19 | AA | 2029

A sparkplug on the diamond and a hard-worker off of it, Willits checks every box for getting the most out of his tools, and as the son of former major leaguer Reggie Willits, he’s always had a pretty big edge in terms of learning and honing his game. He’s also a switch hitter at 6’1” 180 pounds, so he’ll be an everyday lineup mainstay if he can actualize at the highest level. So far so good in that regard. Willits reached Double-A the other day at the age of 18. He’s played just three games there but already has a four-hit night, a home run, two stolen bases, three walks and five RBI. This kid is not messing around.

1. Guardians 1B Ralphy Velazquez (21, AAA)

This one, I don’t get. Not that I grok the concept behind all these other non promotions. “Grok” by the way, used to exist exclusively in the world of Stranger In A Strange Land by Robert Heinlein; It referred to something like a deep, complete understanding. Super cool of Elon to kill that word. Velazquez has 21 home runs in 73 Triple-A games, and he’s hit 17 of those home runs in his last 25 games, including another one during a three-hit game on Friday. He’s the hottest hitter on the planet right now, and Cleveland is 1.5 games ahead of Texas for the final wild card spot. Seems like they could use a hot hitter.

Graduated from Stash List #8: Pick Culpepper or Kade In The Shade: George Lombard Jr, Joshua Baez, Kaelen Culpepper, 

1. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson (22, AA) 

I have no idea what’s happening here. Raise your hand if you have no idea what’s happening here? Okay, so I’m kidding; I have an inkling of an idea. Seattle wanted to save Anderson’s first major league innings for when they’d matter most, but the major league team hasn’t cooperated with the plan. Nonetheless, they remain in the playoff chase because their division is the baseball’s weakest all at the moment, while Anderson has allowed zero runs in his last four starts covering 20.2 innings.

1. Dodgers RHP Roki Sasaki 

He’s alone in this year’s class. I saw the 1.1 pick get traded for Logan Gilbert in a 15-team dynasty league. Other pieces were involved, but nothing to make the previous sentence untrue. Seems like a bit much for me. I prefer Gilbert by a long way and struggle to see how Sasaki could get even close to Gilbert’s 208.2 innings from 2024, never mind his 0.89 WHIP. This kind of trade is what makes dynasty leagues go round: sex v. substance. Door number three v. a car you could drive on the autobahn right now. Shop Sasaki if you have the chance to do so, is what I’m suggesting.

1. OF Dylan Crews | 23 | MLB | 2024

Here’s what I wrote about Crews in Prospect News: The Future Is Not A Game or Collier Daddy:

“It’s hard to say somebody lost any dynasty value during a seven-inning exhibition, but Nationals OF Dylan Crews took some some strays during the broadcast, who agreed he was something of a ho-hum, 25-homer, gets-his-numbers-by-season’s-end type of compiler who doesn’t have great speed but knows how to swipe a base. That’s been pretty much my read all along, but it was kind of odd to hear it during what’s meant to be a two-hour hype fest.”

Nothing’s really changed since then. Crews made his debut. Slashed .218/.288/.353 over 31 games. He’s ranked first here because it’s unreasonable to rank him after the super young pitchers. I’m kinda out on him until/unless something changes.

1. Guardians 2B Travis Bazzana | 21  With Bazzana, the Guardians get their most polished draft prospect in a long time, but he’s not a floor play by any means. At six foot even out of Australia, Bazzana has gotten stronger throughout his career in college ball and added significant impact to his plus-contact profile, […]

There are 300 NCAA Division I baseball programs. Assume an average of 35 players per roster and you’ve got 10,500 collegiate baseball players. Now, many of those are not on the MLB Draft radar, but it still speaks to the sheer volume of prospects to cover — many of which are far more polished than the extensive crop of prepsters. With those numbers, there will always be talented players who fall through the cracks. But here at Razzball, we do our very best to cover every fantasy-relevant college star. We already went over 20 players in the fall, but that left a lot to be desired. There are far more than 20 college prospects to have on your first-year player draft radar ALREADY. And things have already shifted since August with the coming and going of fall practice schedules as well as the unveiling of MLB Pipeline’s top-100 draft prospects. So who did we miss in the fall that you need to know NOW, before the upcoming college campaign kicks off on February 16? Here are six collegiate names to plug into your dynasty strategy and FYPD prep.
