Top Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects: #151-175

175. Jose Salas, SS: The Marlins have intriguing eye-infield depth and Salas is one to watch. He hit very well in his first taste of pro ball in 2021, although he saw his success dip a scrap when he moved upwards to A-ball every bit an 18-twelvemonth-onetime. He should be an above-average hitter with solid speed. He has the potential to develop 20+ habitation run pop equally he matures.

173. James Triantos, 3B/SS: Triantos is currently flying nether the radar just I have a good feeling about him. Selected in the second round of the 2021 apprentice draft out of high school, he shows an advanced bat for a teenager and also showed skilful pop (six homers, vii doubles in 25 games) in rookie ball. He reportedly has good makeup, which should assistance his tools play upwardly.

170. Joey Wiemer, OF: Wiemer is a boom-or-bust blazon player that could end upwardly existence coveted in fantasy baseball because of his plus raw ability and to a higher place-average speed. The risk comes from his swing-and-miss tendencies, which could be exposed one time he hits Double-A. On the plus side, he'due south shown a willingness (and athleticism) to make adjustments.

169. Luis Medina, SP: Anybody loves pitchers that tin bring the heat and few hurlers do it ameliorate or more than consistently than Medina. Unfortunately, his control and control are both hit-or-miss which could very well push him into a futurity (multi-inning) bullpen role.

166. Seth Beer, 1B/DH: Beer gets dinged a lot on "real world" prospect lists because he has zero (or possibly negative) defensive value and will very likely end upwards every bit a designated hitter. In fantasy, we don't have to worry virtually that quite as much and so nosotros can focus our appreciation on his power to mash. A move to the DH in the National League in 2022 would see his value fasten farther.

164. Kevin Smith, 3B/SS: Smith didn't perform well in his first taste of big league action in 2021 but he was rushed a piffling fleck due to injuries at the MLB level and was put in a stressful state of affairs with the Jays pushing difficult for a playoff spot. He volition likely open the year in Triple-A but, as it stands, the Jays don't have any roadblocks at third base of operations.

163. James Forest, OF: Wood is often compared to Aaron Approximate because of the size similarities (The Padres prospect is six-7, 240 lbs). And while he has mammoth raw power, he's also a lot less avant-garde inbound pro phone call as a teenager (whereas Judge was a college product). Forest had an excellent debut only also has a lot of swing-and-miss to his game which isn't uncommon for larger players with long levers.

160. Freddy Tarnok, SP: Atlanta has a number of intriguing players in its system and Tarnok's long-awaited breakout began in 2021. The hard-throwing right-hander produced a 109-28 One thousand-BB in just 73.ane innings in 2021. He'll likely open up 2022 back in Double-A although the aggressive Braves could push him to Triple-A. Tarnok tin can hit the upper-90s with his heater and shows an above-average breaking ball.

159. Eddys Leonard, IF: It took Leonard three years to get to A-brawl thanks to the pandemic only he made up for the lost time in 2021 past splitting the year betwixt both A-ball levels. He showed practiced patience, slugged 22 home runs, and most hit .300. Leonard probably needs some other month or 2 in A-ball before moving up to Double-A to focus on improving his contact rate but this 21-year-old is really merely scratching the surface on his potential.

152. A.J. Vukovich, 3B: A 2020 amateur draft choice out of high school, Vukovich didn't make his pro debut until 2021 due to the pandemic and flashed the skills that fabricated him an intriguing apprentice prospect (Who I had ranked higher than a 4th-round talent). Unfortunately, the Diamondbacks — an organization that I practice not ranked highly for their actor development — rushed him concluding year and had him move upward from Depression-A to Loftier-A when he wasn't ready.

Pinnacle Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects: #126-150

150. Jhonkensy Noel, 3B/1B: Noel is another sleeper to keep an eye on — although he's starting to receive more attention afterwards an eye-opening 2021 season that saw him slug 19 homers in 64 A-brawl games. Forth with the plus raw power, he shows better-than-boilerplate contact skills at times. However, he was rushed a scrap and the 20-twelvemonth-one-time was pushed up to High-A ball towards the finish of final season where he struggled once again ameliorate pitching.

149. Ezequiel Duran, 2B/SS: Duran isn't a huge role player but he generates above-average ability due to his quick bat and strong arms. He slugged 19 home runs last twelvemonth but saw his production skid after moving from the Yankees to the Rangers organization. The Rangers system seems to perpetuate swing-and-miss problems with its prospects so I'one thousand a picayune worried about Duran's future.

148. Zack Gelof, 3B: Gelof had a nifty debut later being a second-circular option out of college in 2021. He has shown flashes of being able to hit for boilerplate, power, and also produce proficient on-base rates. One big caveat with Gelof, though, is that he's shown an inconsistent nature and could be prone to lengthy slumps once he'south playing 100+ games a twelvemonth.

145. Elly De La Cruz, 3B: De La Cruz is enjoying some real helium as he enters the 2022 season. He could end upwardly every bit a fantasy stud if he hits well plenty because he has plus speed and plus raw power. The risk with De La Cruz comes from his aggressive nature at the plate (14 walks in 61 games) which could be exposed against better pitching.

142. Lonnie White Jr., OF: I had White Jr. ranked as the 12th-best prospect in the 2021 draft — which was far higher than whatsoever other publication had him ranked. A multi-sport prep athlete, he possesses explosive bat speed, raw ability, and blazing speed. His striking tool is the biggest question mark just the overall packet is exciting.

141. Coby Mayo, 3B: Mayo opened the 2021 season in rookie ball simply he dominated the competition over a 26-game span and earned a promotion up to A-ball. He showed a little more swing-and-miss to his game at that point just nonetheless produced above-average power and produced a 159 wRC+.

140. Blake Jordan, 1B: Known for his prodigious raw power as an apprentice, Jordan entered pro ball in 2021 and showed a footling more than skill with the bat than expected. He'll probably cease up at commencement base of operations but he'll spend fourth dimension at third base for now and could be playable there on a part-time footing as a large leaguer. Jordan has the potential to striking 30+ homers.

139. Cole Henry, SP: I'm more bullish on Henry than some and meet a pitcher with mid-to-upper 90s rut with the potential for three above-average offerings. There are some health concerns with this hurler despite his big, strong frame but he produced a 39% strikeout charge per unit in nine appearances (eight starts) in High-A ball.

133. Owen Caissie, OF: Canadian-built-in prospects tend to take longer to develop due to the weather condition-shortened baseball flavor just Caissie may exist an bibelot. Considered a fringe first-circular talent in 2020, he was snatched up in the 2nd round past the Padres and traded a curt fourth dimension later to the Cubs and he flourished in 2021 while dominating rookie ball and holding his ain in Low-A. He has plus raw power and a proficient heart.

126. Taj Bradley, SP: Simply 17 when he was drafted in 2018 — and primarily an outfielder every bit an amateur — Bradley has been a long-term project for the Rays. He get-go caught my eye in 2019 due to his athleticism on the mound and he fully broke out in 2021 after the lost 2020 season. Concluding year, Bradley pitched at two A-ball levels and posted a 1.83 ERA with a 123-31 K-BB ratio in 103.1 innings. The four-pitch hurler has two above-average offerings with a 94-97 mph fastball and slider.

Pinnacle Fantasy Baseball Dynasty Prospects: #101-125

125. Miguel Vargas, 3B: Vargas looked poised for a breakout after the 2019 campaign but he was delayed until the 2021 season when his above-average ability finally showed upwards consistently in games. He slugged 23 homers while splitting the year between A-ball and Double-A. He is an above-average hitter with excellent contact rates and is striking more than .300 as a pro.

120. Jordan Westburg, SS/3B: An intriguing athlete with the potential to hitting at least xv-20 homers and steal an equal number of bases, Westburg played at three levels in 2021 and ended in Double-A. There is some swing-and-miss to his game but the offensive skills combined with defensive versatility could brand him an attractive fantasy thespian in time.

119. Jared Jones, SP: I had Jones ranked every bit one of the height prep arms in the 2020 amateur draft and the Pirates got excellent value when the organization snagged him in the early 2d round. He has ability stuff and struck out A-ball batters at a 34% charge per unit in 2021. His command and control are works in progress merely he's ultra-able-bodied so I'm not worried.

117. Matthew Allan, SP: Allan's evolution has been delayed by Tommy John surgery — he has only 10.1 innings of pro feel — but I had him ranked as the sixth overall talent in the 2019 draft and the acme prep arm. Allan came out of high schoolhouse with iii pitches that had the potential to grade out as above-average. He won't get back on the mound competitively until mid-2022 only he has the advanced skills to quickly make up for lost time.

115. Carlos Colmenarez, SS: Colmenarez was 1 of the top talents that came out of the 2020-21 international costless agent class but his pro debut was uneven in the Dominican Summer League. The teenager gets a mulligan considering he was also recovering from hamate surgery, which can take months to fully recover from and likely sapped some of his pop.

113. Kyren Paris, SS: Paris was selected 55th overall in the 2019 amateur draft but I had him ranked as the 17th-best talent due to his athleticism, bat speed, and room for growth. He lost evolution time in 2020 because of the pandemic and played fewer than l games in 2021 due to injury but he's shown flashes of potential. I'm expecting a breakout year in 2022.

111. Bobby Miller, SP: I ranked Miller very aggressively every bit the 17th-all-time talent in the 2020 apprentice draft simply he wasn't seen by most as a sure-fire get-go-round talent. The Dodgers grabbed him 29th overall and he'southward shown flashes of iii above-average offerings and higher up-boilerplate command. Miller is ranked lower on this listing than you might expect for 2 reasons: Health/Immovability and Reliever Risk due to his delivery. He'due south never thrown more than 80 innings between college and pro ball.

110. Everson Pereira, OF: While Jasson Dominguez was the Yankees outfield prospect that got all the attending in 2021, Pereira quietly had an intriguing season and appears to be on the verge of a breakout. While he'southward shown some flashy batting averages in the low minors, Pereira has been aided by significant BABIPs and his truthful carrying tool is his raw ability. He slugged 20 homers in simply 49 games. If he tin keep the swing-and-miss in line so he has a massive ceiling.

108. Kevin Alcantara, OF: The Yankees opened 2021 with some enviable outfield depth in the minors and Alcantara was somewhen used to assistance land Anthony Rizzo from the Cubs. He has a huge ceiling. Alcantara stands 6-6 and has lots of room to add musculus to his frame just he already generates above-average power due to his size and bat speed.

103. Hedbert Perez, OF: Perez has the tools and makeup to zoom up this ranking simply there is a caveat. He showed very well in rookie ball in 2021 with a .333 batting boilerplate in 32 games just he completely fell apart in A-ball due to an (extremely) over-aggressive approach that saw him overmatched. He posted a 1-25 BB-K ratio in 16 games. Every bit he moves upwardly, pitchers volition make fewer mistakes and information technology volition be of import for him to wait for hitter'south pitches. Nevertheless just xviii, time is on his size but the Brewers need to slow his development downwards a chip.
