Welcome back for another week of Top Dynasty Keepers for 2025. 

We’ve taken care of the pitchers and the catchers, so this week my attention turns to the infield and first baseman specifically. Overall, this is a pretty solid position, aided in part by a host of players who also play another position.

In a 12-team or 16-team league, who should be able to find a strong starting first baseman for your team. But there are still some solid players ranked in Tier 3 and there are quite a few players ranked in Tier 4 who have really good upside if you can get past their growing pains

With that said, let’s get on with the rankings.

Astros 3B Zach Dezenzo (24) debuted last night after graduating Triple-A in just 11 games. He slashed .391/.472/.739 with four home runs and three stolen bases in those 11 games, so kudos to the ‘Stros for waving him onward to the majors. Dezenzo’s a large dude at 6’4” 220 lbs and brings easy power from the right side. Heads up in the Crawford boxes.

1. OF Joey Loperfido | 24 | AAA | 2024

A seventh round pick in 2021, Loperfido produced better than average lines at each step along the way until a difficult 32-game stint in Triple-A to close out the 2023 season. In the box, he’s a 6’3” 230 lb lefty with power. In the field, he’s a right-handed thrower with enough athleticism that he’s a real option in center field. In 84 games at Double-A, he slashed .296/.392/.548 with 19 home runs and 20 stolen bases. I’m pretty bullish on his chances to carve out a role for himself in center or a corner outfield spot or at first base.

Mariners RHP Bryan Woo made his debut Saturday in Texas against one of baseball’s best teams, and it did not go well. A lot of rookie pitchers struggle in their first start, so we should avoid Tom Smykowski’s Jump to Conclusions Mat here, especially on the road against a good offense. 

SS Royce Lewis looks like a mid-lineup mainstay in Minnesota. Don’t say that five times fast. 2B Edouard Julien is the odd man out for now but appears to be settling into his skill set at the highest level, even if he’ll spend the foreseeable future a level below that.
