July is a busy month for dynasty baseball managers. First, you have the MLB Draft as a whole new crop of prospects enter the picture. On top of that, you have the Futures Game and the MLB Trade Deadline in which prospects move teams and situations impacting their dynasty outlook. That does not even mention prospects being promoted to the Major Leagues. Keep reading to check out the latest top 150 prospects for dynasty baseball updated for the month of July.
Make sure to head over to the Pitcher List dynasty page for the latest news and notes on all things dynasty.
Prospect List Rules:

Prospect List Graduates & Preface
This section of the prospect list is reserved for players who have recently been promoted to the major leagues. In the past month, we have seen plenty of prospects with dynasty relevance earn a promotion. I thought there were a lot of promotions prior to the May edition. This month had even more! The prospects who would be featured on this list, but have made their Major League debut are: Colby Thomas, Brice Matthews, Brady House, Colson Montgomery, Didier Fuentes, Chase Burns, and Troy Melton. These prospects are no longer included on this list.
After much debate, it was decided to keep the 2025 Draftees out of this month’s ranking. The reasoning is two-fold. First, getting these rankings right and accurate is important to me, and I hope to those reading. Getting another month to adequately scout this recent draft class is necessary. Secondly, it was brought up in the Pitcher List discord that many dynasty managers are still focused on 2025. They do not have their FYPDs until next year and need to know as much about the current crop of prospects as possible. Instead, I added ranking ranges for where I think the top ten picks from this year’s draft class will land next month:
- Eli Willits, WAS: 43-52
- Tyler Bremmer, LAA: 103-110
- Kade Anderson, SEA: 38-46
- Ethan Holliday, COL: 18-27
- Liam Doyle, STL: 71-79
- Seth Hernandez, PIT: 30-37
- Aiva Arquette, MIA: 60-67
- JoJo Parker, TOR: 29-37
- Steele Hall, CIN: 137-150
Prospects Rising Quickly Up Dynasty Ranks
Carson Benge, #23 – New York Mets
The Mets started Benge in High-A in 2025. That was simply too easy for him. In 60 games, he hit .302 with four homers and 15 stolen bases. So, the Mets moved Benge to Double-A, where success is coming just as easily. In 16 games, Benge is batting .345 with two homers and three steals. Benge’s approach at the plate is as polished as they come. He is walking 16.2% of the time on the season while keeping his strikeout rate at just 17%. Benge combines elite patience and power with plus speed and the raw power to grab the attention of dynasty managers. Benge’s prioritization of contact limits his game power, but there is 20-homer upside in his profile. At his floor, Benge appears to be a high OBP guy with 25+ stolen base potential. The possibility of power developing is just the icing on the cake to one of the safest profiles in the Minor Leagues.
Jefferson Rojas, #28 – Chicago Cubs
The shine may have worn off of Jefferson Rojas in dynasty circles, but his performance this season is worthy of attention. Rojas’ raw athleticism has been apparent since signing with the Cubs out of the Dominican Republic back in 2022. Despite the raw talent, Rojas hit just .245 with six homers last season. This year, he looks like a different hitter. The biggest chance is Rojas’ patience at the plate. He is being more selective, getting better pitches to hit, and doing damage once he gets his pitch. He has already set a new career-high in home runs with 11 and is up to 14 stolen bases. His contact rate has remained over 80% as well. Rojas was recently promoted to Double-A and will be 20 for the entirety of the 2025 season. There is significant fantasy upside in Rojas’ profile. This is reflected in his leap up to 28th in this month’s update.
New Inclusions to the Top 100
Tyson Lewis, #62 – Cincinnati Reds
From a power and speed perspective, few prospects in baseball match the upside in Tyson Lewis’ profile. The team’s second-round pick from last year has gotten off to a blazing hot start at the Complex League this season. He has six home runs in 43 games while adding 18 stolen bases. Sometimes, left-handed swings are just pretty. That is exactly what we have here. Lewis has quick hands that fly through the zone. He uses the whole field well and can drive the ball out to any part of the park. Lewis’ raw tools move him up to 62, but the key word there is raw. Lewis is far from polished. At just 19, he is extremely aggressive and has some swing and miss in his profile. There is risk here, but Lewis has the kind of upside that could turn him into a top ten dynasty prospect by this time next season.
Brody Hopkins, #97 – Tampa Bay Rays
Get Brody Hopkins added to your roster now. Hopkins’ stuff certainly popped in a nine-pitch outing in the 2025 Futures Game. His four-seamer sits in the upper 90s, comfortable with a smooth and easily repeated delivery. He goes to his cutter frequently, but also has a plus slider that helps to generate strikeouts. Over his last six starts, Hopkins owns a 1.50 ERA. He is striking out 30.1% of the batters he has faced during that time frame. Control is the biggest issue, but dynasty managers need to remember that Hopkins is still learning how to pitch. He pitched just 57 innings in college after focusing primarily on hitting. His quick development and pure stuff on the mound gives him an extremely high ceiling. If Hopkins can harness his stuff, he can be a front-of-the-rotation guy for Tampa.
Prospects Moving Down
Noah Schultz, #45 – Chicago White Sox
The dynasty stock on Noah Schultz sank even lower after surrendering a three-run home run to Josue De Paula in the 2025 Futures Game. Schultz was considered one of the game’s top pitching prospects entering 2025. After dominating batters with excellent control and an elite slider, Schultz’s success has disappeared this season. A lot of his struggles can be attributed to a lack of command. His walk rate has suddenly spiked this season, causing him issues. While his slider still represents a true strikeout pitch, his sinker grades out as an underwhelming offering for a pitcher rated as highly as he was. Schultz has also struggled a lot against right-handed hitters this season. Righties are slashing an absurd .327/.442/.481 off of him. There is more relief risk here than originally believed and he moves down to 45th on this list as a result.
Colton Ledbetter, #88 – Tampa Bay Rays
The power and speed combination present in Ledbetter’s profile led to an aggressive ranking to start the season. Ledbetter has by no means been bad in Double-A this season. He is batting .277 with a 126 wRC+ on the season. The speed has continued to shine as Ledbetter has already stolen 25 bases. So, why is Ledbetter moving down? For starters, the home run totals have been disappointing. With only five home runs, the hit tool risk becomes a larger issue. In particular, Ledbetter struggles to produce against lefties. He is slashing .253/.337/.341 against lefties this year. He could be destined to be a platoon outfielder in his future.
Prospect List: Top-100
Prospects Inching Closer to the Top 100
Jonah Tong, #101 – New York Mets
Jonah Tong’s dominance on the mound has just kept on rolling. After an inconsistent start, Tong has been one of the best pitchers in Minor League baseball for the past two months. In his last eight starts, Tong owns a 1.17 ERA supported by a 1.80 FIP. He is striking out 39% of the batters he has faced during that time while lowering his walk rate to 9.9%. The only concern left here is consistency. Yes, Tong’s walk rate has been better as of late. However, Tong has struggled with walks throughout his professional career. The stuff is excellent, but against hitters in Triple-A and the MLB, the worry is that his control issues will be more apparent. Also, how often to fastball/curveball pitchers find success at the Major League level? There is an argument that 102 is too low. However, I am yet to push my chips in on Tong being a can’t-miss pitching prospect. He slides up in this month’s ranking yet again.
Druw Jones, #117 – Arizona Diamondbacks
Druw Jones has changed his swing. Gone is the closed stance that looks off balance and awkward. Now, Jones looks like a slugger at the plate. His balance has improved dramatically as he uses a smooth leg kick to tap into his power starting from an even stance. His hands are more relaxed and in a loaded position helping improve his overall timing. The results have been drastic. Jones has hit three home runs since June 28 with a slash of .317/.380/.540. Still only 21 years old, the former second-overall pick has plenty of potential for dynasty managers. Getting to more game power was the biggest obstacle in Jones’ projection. If this success continues, dynasty managers are looking at a potential 20/20 threat. He is a great buy-low option.
The Next 50
Newcomers to the Top 150 Prospects
JD Dix, #116 – Arizona Diamondbacks
JD Dix has the feel of that one prospect we look back on at the end of the season and say “man, we should have seen his dominance coming”. Dix was selected by Arizona 35th overall in last year’s draft. Arizona delayed his debut until 2025 as Dix was still shaking off the rust from a torn labrum that required surgery just before his senior season. The decision to wait seems like a good one as Dix looks like a future star. The 6’2″ second baseman is batting .329 with two homers and 12 stolen bases in 55 games so far this season. Dix’s swing is pretty from both sides, but the sound off the bat is different coming from the left. He combines significant power upside with speed to form an intriguing dynasty profile. The only thing keeping Dix down at 116 is a small sample size. The sky is the limit here.
Devin Fitz-Gerald, #139 – Texas Rangers
A fifth-round prep bat in last year’s draft, Fitz-Gerald has done nothing but hit this season. He did not make his professional debut until this year, but was batting .318 with six homers and five stolen bases at the Complex League prior to his promotion to Low-A. Fitz-Gerald lacks much in terms of physical projection, but there is a lot to like in his profile as it is. He has great feel for getting to his pull side pop. His power is especially apparent from the left side of the plate. Fitz-Gerald also has a natural feel for hitting with great zone and barrel control. His natural baseball instincts allow his raw tools to play up. The sample size is still incredibly small, but his success this season is enough to move him into the top 150.
Deep Prospects to Note
Bo Davidson, San Francisco Giants
Slowly but surely, Bo Davidson has been making a name for himself in the dynasty community since signing with the Giants as an undrafted free agent back in 2023. Davidson has found success in each of his first three professional seasons so far. In just 75 games this season, Davidson has already tied his career-high in home runs with 11 and has set a new career-high in stolen bases with 13. He has good raw tools and an excellent walk rate. The only question left to answer is how well his hit tool will translate to more advanced competition. At 23, Davidson was just promoted to Double-A. He was batting .309 in High-A, but there are holes in his swing and the potential for a high strikeout rate. For now, he is just a prospect to watch, but certainly a name worth knowing.
Griff O’Ferrall, Baltimore Orioles
The 32nd overall pick in last year’s draft has yet to find his groove at the professional level. After hitting .324 in his final collegiate season at Virginia, O’Ferrall is batting just .210 in High-A this season. The lack of success is keeping his name off of dynasty radars, but there is quietly a lot to like. O’Ferrall has true plus speed. He has already stolen 23 bases this season and projects as a 25-stolen-base threat in the future. His contact skills have also been excellent so far. His contact rate sits at 85.4% on the season with plus plate discipline. He has a smooth swing designed to drive the ball into the gaps and use the whole field. With a profile designed to make contact, the power projection is limited. Hoewever, his 6’2″ frame gives him 10-15 homer upside if everything clicks. This season, a .245 BABIP is suppressing his numbers and making things look worse than they have been. O’Ferrall is an elite defender up the middle with great contact skills and plus speed. He does not crack the top 150 but deserves more attention.
