1. Jackson Chourio (OF, Mil) – The raw tools are special. All he needs is time to develop, and once he does, he has superstar upside.
2. Jackson Holliday (SS, Bal) – He’s showing all the tools to be a star.
3. Wyatt Langford (OF, Tex) – He has 20-30 upside with high OBP skills, and it won’t take him long to make his Major League debut.
4. Junior Caminero (3B, TB) – He produces some of the best exit velos in the Rays system, which should translate into 30+ home runs at the highest level. He’s overly aggressive at the plate, which might pressure his OBP.
5. Jordan Lawlar (SS, AZ) – He has all the tools to be a star.
6. Dylan Crews (OF, Was) – He has an advanced approach at the plate with high-end exit velocities.
7. Paul Skenes (RHP, Pit) – He has the size and arsenal to be a #1 starter. Given how hard he throws, there is risk of early arm troubles, as seen with Hunter Greene.
8. Jasson Dominguez (OF, NYY) – Plus bat and foot speed with a feel to hit. He looked great in his MLB Debut and then blew out his elbow.
9. Evan Carter (OF, Tex) – A plus hit tool with speed and power.
10. Yoshinobu Yamamoto (RHP, LAD) – The stat line says he’s a CY Young pitcher. His physicality gives me pause.
11. Pete Crow-Armstrong (OF, CHC) – He has a well-rounded game with plus speed, solid power potential, and a feel to hit.
12. Marcelo Mayer (SS, Bos) – He had a poor season because of a shoulder injury. When healthy, his ceiling is a 20-home-run bat who hits with high on-base skills with modest stolen bases.
13. Walker Jenkins (OF, Min) – Athletic with a lefty swing built for 30+ home run future pop.
14. Ricky Tiedemann (LHP, Tor) – Spent a chunk of the season on the IL with bicep tendonitis. When healthy, it is a power arsenal with a fastball-sweeper-heavy arsenal.
15. James Wood (OF, Was) – He’s athletic with significant power and speed potential. There is significant swing-and-miss in his game.
16. Kyle Manzardo (1B, Cle) – He can really hit, and with some more launch, he could develop into a 20+ home run hitter.
17. Kyle Harrison (LHP, SF) – He has a solid arsenal that was able to get big-league hitters out. His control in Triple-A backed up, but in the Majors, he was fine.
18. Colt Keith (3B, Det) – A feel to hit with 20+ home run power. A move to second or first base my be in the cards long-term.
19. Noelvi Marte (3B, Cin) – He growing into double-plus power, but as he fills out, speed will become less part of his game. I think he hits with a chance to be a full-time regular with impact potential.
20. Sam Basallo (1B, Bal) – An athletic catcher with a feel to hit and potential future plus power.
21. Cole Young (SS, Sea) – He’s demonstrating a plus hit tool with speed and solid power potential.
22. Jackson Jobe (RHP, Det) – He started the season on the IL with a back issue, but when he returned, he showed the kind of stuff that made him the number three overall player selected in the 2021 Draft.
23. Harry Ford (C, Sea) – Speed and power with a feel to hit. If he can stay behind the plate, he could be one of the top fantasy catchers in the league.
24. Ethan Salas (C, SD) – He might have a special blend of a feel to hit and power.
25. Spencer Jones (OF, NYY) – There is speed, and power, but also the potential for significant swing-and-miss in his game.
26. Masyn Winn (SS, Stl) – He showed more power in Triple-A, but the data upon his promotion to the Majors showed below-average exit velos and launch angles.
27. Jackson Merrill (SS, SD) – He’s showing solid power and speed with an excellent feel to hit.
28. Max Clark (OF, Det) – Extremely athletic with plus speed and plenty of bat speed to project future power.
29. Emmanuel Rodriguez (OF, Min) – Huge raw power with a feel to hit. His game could have some swing-and-miss, but the whole package could make him a star.
30. Kevin Alcantara (OF, CHC) – He’s tooled-up, but at 6-foot-6, there will likely be some swing-and-miss in his game. Regardless, there is a setup for an impact player at the highest level.
31. Chase DeLauter (OF, Cle) – He’s a big guy who meaningfully cut down his strikeout rate in 2023. Usually, hitters of his length will have swing-and-miss in his game, but he’s not showing that for now.
32. Tyler Black (3B, Mil) – He’s always been able to hit and is starting to show more pop as he fills out. He has the ceiling of a full-time regular who can play multiple positions.
33. Jett Williams (OF, NYM) – He’s a toolsy player who is walking as much as he’s striking out.
34. Brooks Lee (SS, Min) – He has a plus hit tool with average power and below-average speed. It’s the definition of a high-floor player.
35. Edwin Arroyo (SS, Cin) – He’s held his own as one of the youngest players in High-A showing power and speed.
36. Termarr Johnson (SS, Pit) – He has a natural feel to hit with high walk rates. I think there will be enough physicality to hit 15 to 20 home runs annually.
37. Zac Veen (OF, Col) – He had hand surgery in June that hopefully addresses his power issues. If it does, he’s a 20-20 player, maybe more.
38. Andrew Painter (RHP, Phi) – He had TJS in July and will likely miss the entire 2024. Prior to the injury, the ceiling was a #1 starter.
39. Adael Amador (SS, Col) – He could develop into one of the better hitters in the league with solid stolen base potential. He needs to add loft to his swing project power.
40. Jacob Misiorowski (RHP, Mil) – Tall and thin with two 70-grade pitches in his fastball and slider. He needs to develop a third pitch and work on repeating his delivery.
41. Tink Hence (RHP, Stl) – Extremely athletic with an impressive four-pitch mix.
42. Drew Gilbert (OF, NYM) – He has a high floor as a solid Major League regular but lacks the tools to be a stat-stuffing fantasy player.
43. Curtis Mead (3B, TB) – Plus hit tool with enough hard contact could give him 18 to 20 future home run pop with a high batting average and OBP.
44. Matt Shaw (SS, CHC) – Plus power with a feel to hit and speed early in his career.
45. Brayan Rocchio (SS, Cle) – Despite a ho-hum MLB Debut, he still controls the strike zone with plus speed. The power will be below average.
46. Carson Williams (SS, TB) – He has exciting tools with some concern about how much contact he will make.
47. Colson Montgomery (SS, CHW) – He has a feel to hit with solid power potential. There will not be a ton of stolen bases.
48. Druw Jones (OF, AZ) – It was another challenging season, mostly due to injuries. I know fantasy managers are anxious, but you need patience, as the tools are still there.
49. Colton Cowser (OF, Bal) – High on-base player with emerging power and some speed early in his career.
50. Sebastian Walcott (SS, Tex) – Athletic with elite bat speed that produces hard contact.
51. Dalton Rushing (C, LAD) – He has above-average power with high on-base skills. There is some swing-and-miss in his game.
52. Luisangel Acuna (2B, NYM) – He’s a plus runner with a feel to hit. It’s unlikely he’ll for a ton of power, but there is enough bat speed to project some.
53. Mick Abel (RHP, Phi) – He has size and the big fastball but still needs time to develop his command and control.
54. Marco Luciano (SS, SF) – The bat has significant power potential, but the swing and miss increased as he faced better pitching.
55. Ronny Mauricio (SS, NYM) – There is 20-20 potential, but it will come with a .300ish OBP.
56. Yanquiel Fernandez (OF, Col) – His carrying tool is his 70-grade raw power. He expands the strike zone, causing him to strike out too much. There is little to no speed.
57. Colt Emerson (2B, Sea) – High-floor player who should hit with 15+ home run pop.
58. River Ryan (RHP, LAD) – Athletic pitcher with a plus fastball-cutter and a workable change-up. He needs to focus on throwing strikes, and with his athleticism, odds are he will.
59. Kyle Teel (C, Bos) – He has a plus hit tool with average power.
60. Bubba Chandler (RHP, Pit) – He’s athletic with a huge fastball. While he has a long way to go, the upside is significant.
61. Roman Anthony (OF, Bos) – He’s athletic with better strike zone control than his draft book indicated.
62. Gabriel Gonzalez (OF, Sea) – Showing an ability to make contact with a solid approach. There is plus, if not double-plus, power lurking in the bat.
63. Heston Kjerstad (OF, Bal) – If the improved contact skills are real, we might be looking at a full-time power-hitting corner outfielder.
64. Everson Pereira (OF, NYY) – There is 20+ home run pop with speed early in his career. There continue to be questions about how much contact he will make.
65. Justin Crawford (OF, Phi) – He has the athleticism to make him an impact player. He does need to get stronger, and given his age, there’s a strong possibility that he will.
66. Coby Mayo (3B, Bal) – The swing suggests 25+ home run power potential, but it will likely come with pressure on his batting average.
67. Drew Thorpe (RHP, SD) – One of the breakout pitchers in 2023 who showed swing-and-miss stuff while pounding the strike zone.
68. Gavin Cross (OF, KC) – He has the talent to be a 20-20 player with enough contact to post a .260+ batting average. There is more chase in his swing than was anticipated.
69. Noah Schultz (RHP, CHW) – He’s tall and lanky with a chance to grow into velocity. The delivery is a lower three-quarter with effort.
70. Alex Ramirez (OF, NYM) – He repeated High-A, and while he controlled the strike zone better, it wasn’t quality contact.
71. Sammy Zavala (OF, SD) – He has plus bat speed and is expected to grow into a 20+ home run hitter. Early in his career, he could steal 15+ bases.
72. Owen White (RHP, Tex) – His strikeout rate is down, but the stuff is plenty good enough to get guys out.
73. Ceddanne Rafaela (OF, Bos) – He has top-of-the-chart speed, but the approach is overly aggressive, and that could limit his ceiling.
74. Brady House (SS, Was) – After a difficult 2022, he played better but fell into the same poor habits that led to problems in 2022. There is still significant future power potential.
75. Jace Jung (2B, Det) – He has developed a highly leveraged swing that produces more over-the-fence power but at the expense of some swing-and-miss.
76. Diego Cartaya (C, LAD) – He came into camp out of shape and never got it going. No other way to say it. It was a bad season, and his prospect status has fallen.
77. Jeferson Quero (C, Mil) – A smallish catcher with a feel to hit with pop.
78. Jared Jones (RHP, Pit) – He has a plus arsenal with a fastball that can touch triple-digits, an above-average change-up, and a slider and curveball that show promise. He’s still very raw and needs time to develop.
79. George Valera (OF, Cle) – There’s still plenty of bat speed, although he might have become too passive at the plate.
80. AJ Smith-Shawver (RHP, Atl) – He had a great season and made his way all the way to Atlanta.
81. Miguel Bleis (OF, Bos) – He missed most of the season with shoulder surgery. There are significant tools, but the hit tool has a long way to go.
82. Dylan Lesko (RHP, SD) – He’s back from TJS, and while the control is not there, the stuff looks back to pre-surgery form.
83. Carson Whisenhunt (LHP, SF) – His double-plus change-up is his money pitch. He throws strikes with a 92 to 94 MPH fastball and a decent curve.
84. Robby Snelling (LHP, SD) – He has a plus curveball and enough velocity on his fastball to suggest a future mid-rotation starter, if not more.
85. Ryan Bliss (OF, Sea) – After a challenging season in 2022, has made a nice bounce back by showing better contact.
86. Xavier Isaac (1B, TB) – The early returns show a potential plus hit tool but with above-average power. Conditioning will likely always be an issue.
87. Noble Meyer (RHP, Mia) – He has all the building blocks to pitch at the top of the rotation.
88. Orelvis Martinez (3B, Tor) – There continues to be significant power potential, but with continued concern about how much contact he will make.
89. Anthony Solometo (LHP, Pit) – The arsenal looks extremely promising, and his control improved as he got deeper into the season.
90. Dyan Jorge (SS, Col) – A potential impact player with a feel to hit. He needs to get stronger and likely will.
91. Jonatan Clase (OF, Sea) – His carrying tool is his speed and aggressiveness on the basepaths. He needs to cut down on his strikeouts.
92. Dustin Harris (OF, Tex) – He has more speed and less power than I initially thought. He does post a high on-base percentage.
93. Rhett Lowder (RHP, Cin) – 70-grade change-up with a chance for at least a 60 slider. Plus, he throws strikes. If the Reds can get him to throw harder, he has the ceiling of a number two starter.
94. Justin Foscue (2B, Tex) – He has the potential for a plus hit-tool with 15 to 20 home run pop.
95. Ricardo Cabrera (SS, Cin) – Power and speed potential with a feel to hit.
96. Gavin Stone (RHP, LAD) – His velocity and movement were off early in the season but seemed to return to form over the summer.
97. Cam Collier (3B, Cin) – He’s a high-floor player that projects as a plus hitter with 20+ home run pop.
98. Mason Miller (RHP, Oak) – I have no idea where to put him. Stuff is crazy, but I don’t think he stays healthy. But he should be included as he qualifies.
99. Jacob Melton (OF, Hou) – Toolsy outfielder with contact concerns. If he can shorten up his swing, there could be something there.
100. Cristhian Vaquero (OF, Was) – An exciting package of tools with 70-grade speed and a feel to hit. He needs to get stronger and likely will.
