Welcome into the Prospect List. Two months in, and we have seen a ton of prospect promotions, dealt with injuries, and have witnessed breakouts nobody saw coming. Prospect value continues to change, making the updates to this list even more critical. Keep reading for the updated nine-tier ranking of the top 150 prospects for dynasty baseball.
If you do not care about the write-ups and tiers and are only focused on the list, a special feature is coming soon for PL Pro Members. An exclusive Google Sheet compiling all dynasty-related rankings will be found in the PL Tools section!
Rules
Before we start, here are a few rules/regulations that guide this list. For starters, this list is made up entirely of prospects who have yet to make their major league debut. Once they debut, they are removed from the list. Secondly, only two primary positions are selected for those prospects who play multiple positions. These are, in my opinion, the two most likely long-term positions for each prospect.
Call Ups
This section is reserved for those prospects who would rank in the top 150 but were promoted to the major leagues within the past month. The first month has had a lot of call-ups, and there have somehow been even more this month. The following prospects made their Major League debut in the past month: Colt Emerson, Robby Senlling, Ryan Waldschmidt, Elmer Rodriguez, Spencer Jones, Joe Mack, JR Ritchie, Travis Bazzana, AJ Ewing, and Henry Bolte. All would rank inside the top-150 if still eligible.
2026 Prospect List
Tier 1
- Jesus Made continues to show more game power in 2026. After hitting only six home runs last year, Made is already up to five in 2026. The development of his power is mostly in his raw power up to this point. At 19 years old, continued growth in this area should be expected. The part of his game that is still a work in progress is his game power. Made is still running a fly ball rate below 30% with a swing designed to make contact to all fields. The next step will be getting Made to pull the ball in the air with more consistency. If he can do this, the sky is the limit.
- Leo De Vries is adding third base to his repertoire. Similar to Made, De Vries continues to play extremely well as a 19-year-old in Double-A. Now, he has the added task of learning a new position. The A’s are wisely exploring new positions for De Vries, who is on the fast track to the Major Leagues. If he adapts to third base, he could debut later on in 2026. For those wondering, De Vries ranks above Made due to more polish in his swing. De Vries is already adept at getting the ball in the air and pulling the baseball. As he continues to grow, his game power is safer than Made’s projection. Picking between the two is really splitting hairs, though.
Tier 2
- Edward Florentino has shown no signs of rust since returning to game action. Injury delayed Florentino’s 2026 season, but in just 20 games, he has already hit seven home runs. Florentino’s raw power is perhaps the best in all of Minor League baseball. Now in High-A, his contact skills have taken a step back, but his understanding of the strike zone continues to create a stable floor in his projection. The one notable change early this season is Florentino’s lack of success on the bases. He is just 3/6 this season, and his FanGraphs speed grades out at a 40. His 35 stolen base last season may be a mirage of what dynasty managers can expect moving forward. Even with a lower steal projection, Florentino is still turning into one of the best prospects in dynasty.
- Kade Anderson continues to dominate Double-A. Much was made about Anderson’s fastball shape during Spring Training. Well, that has translated to a 41.1% strikeout rate, 4.0% walk rate, and a 1.85 ERA through his first seven starts. Remember, there were also concerns over Paul Skenes’ fastball shape. Anderson’s fastball may not be an elite offering, but he combines strong control, a deceptive delivery, and plus-plus breaking pitches to form a lethal arsenal. The Mariners have an excellent track record of developing pitching prospects. Anderson started this season ranked far too low and appropriately moves up into the second tier this month.
Tier 3
- Franklin Arias has moved his way up to Tier 3. The dynasty community was skeptical about fully buying into Arias’ potential. That is no longer the case. The approach and polish Arias approaches each plate appearance with continues to be the most impressive part of his game. The hit tool is excellent. Pitchers have yet to find a flaw, even as a 20-year-old in Double-A. He is getting the ball in the air more than ever before while continuing to show off an excellent feel for his pull side. Arias has 20-homer, 15-steal, and .390-OBP potential. He jumps from 35 to 19 in this month’s update.
- Ethan Holliday has settled in after a slow start. Last month, this article discussed how Holliday’s hit tool was struggling to adjust to professional pitching. This was a primary concern of dynasty managers leaving the draft. Well, after a slow start, Holliday has crushed eight home runs over his last 84 plate appearances. He is batting .318 over that period with a .470 ISO. Power, power, power. Holliday’s raw pop and ability to get to it in games are among the best in Minor League baseball. There are still some flaws in his hit tool, but at 19 years old, there is plenty of time for that to develop. His upside deserves more attention in the dynasty community, even if his eventual defensive home is at third base.
Tier 4
- Mike Sirota is another Dodger outfield prospect moving up tiers. Dodgers prospects always seem to outperform expectations. Expectations were high for Sirota entering 2026, but his performance up to this point has been outstanding. In 35 games at High-A, Sirota hit .325 with seven homers and eight steals before being promoted to Double-A. Considering his age (22), Double-A feels like a more appropriate level to project Sirota’s future value at. However, what dynasty managers saw at High-A should pique interest. He has great plate discipline, speed, a smooth swing path, and plenty of raw power. Sirota has considerable upside and moves into tier four.
- Everything in Elian Pena’s profile screams star. Twitchy athletes tend to rise quickly. Pena fits that mold and has looked fantastic early on in his professional career. At just 18 years old, Pena is showing off a polished and mature approach at the plate. He controls the zone and his barrel well. He is more than willing to take his walks and make contact at a high rate. Unlike most high-potential prospects, Pena does not have a ground ball issue. He gets balls in the air consistently and has a natural feel for pulling the ball. He is a bit undersized, which has kept his prospect value suppressed, but he should garner far more attention as he progresses through the Mets system.
Tier 5
- Josh Adamczewski has earned a big jump up the list in this month’s update. Adamczewski’s breakout is in full swing. At High-A, he has hit seven homers, stolen five bases, and is batting .333 on the year. Defensively, Adamczewski has already shifted almost entirely to left field, which puts more pressure on his bat to play. The encouraging thing is that the bat looks legit. He has a great understanding of the strike zone, and his contact skills and barrel control are excellent. He uses the whole field, but also has a natural feel for getting to his pull side enough to reach the 20 home run threshold. Adamczewski should find himself in Double-A before long.
- Lazaro Montes’ power continues to shine while his hit tool grows more concerning. Montes is up to 10 home runs with a .287 ISO. His power is undeniable. Up to this point, his suspect hit tool has not impacted his overall season numbers. However, the concern is growing louder. Montes is striking out over 30% of the time, with a contact rate down at 63.5%. Yes, Montes can punish mistakes, but as the competition improves, the number of mistakes will decrease. Montes still ranks in Tier-5 because we have seen this work before. Right now, it is working for Colson Montgomery, who is providing plenty of fantasy value with a high strikeout rate. However, Montes’ profile is far from safe, and he will have to provide enough value defensively to make up for any adjustment period his bat will eventually need.
Tier 6
- Ethan Salas is back on prospect radars. Salas never fell out of the top 100 on this prospect list, but he had slid down a bit after the beginning of his career, which was filled with injuries and offensive struggles. Salas is now healthy and showing why there was so much hype back when he signed in 2023. Over his last 88 plate appearances, Salas is slashing .329/.409/.616. His powerful swing is shining as he has six home runs, and his athleticism is on full display with nine stolen bases. Everything in Salas’ profile looks spectacular. The Padres have been aggressive with Salas in the past, and dynasty managers cannot rule out a 2026 debut. He moves up to 55th overall in this month’s update.
- Wehiwa Aloy is gaining more attention, as he should have had all along. After ranking 73rd last month, Aloy moves up to 63rd in this month’s update. The 31st overall pick from last year has settled in after a slow start. Since April 21, Aloy is slashing .384/.421/.756 with nine home runs. Power is the tool that carries Aloy into dynasty relevance. Standing at 6’2″, Aloy has a powerful swing that can drive the ball out to all fields. The impressive part is that Aloy is doing all of this with a pull rate below 30%. If the Orioles can help Aloy tap into his pull-side more, he has 35+ home run potential. Coming out of the SEC, strong production in High-A is expected. The Orioles will likely promote Aloy to Double-A soon, which will give dynasty managers better insight into how his hit tool projects.
Tier 7
- Devin Taylor is another rising name from the 2025 draft class. Three years at Indiana University landed Taylor at 48th overall in last year’s draft. Taylor proceeded to hit six home runs in 28 games last year and is once again finding success in 2026. In High-A, Taylor is batting over .300 with four homers and six stolen bases. In a bit of an Emmanuel Rodriguez mold, Taylor has a swing rate under 40%, with nearly as many walks as strikeouts. In terms of future projection, Taylor has the power and speed to be a 20/20 player. His swing can get long at times, which could be an issue against higher velocity, but for now, Taylor is a prospect dynasty managers should be excited about. He moves into the top 100 and Tier 7 in this month’s update.
- Cooper Flemming is rising up other prospect lists, and moves up even further on this list. Hopefully, you paid attention to the earlier versions of this list, which aggressively ranked Flemming inside of the top 120. Now, Flemming moves inside the top 100. The Rays seem to have struck gold with the 53rd overall pick in last year’s draft. Flemming has the projectability to hit 30 homers, the athleticism to steal 15-20 bases, and is showing off fantastic plate discipline for a prep shortstop. Flemming’s tools are loud, and the floor is there to turn him into an elite dynasty prospect. Get in on Flemming now before it is too late.
Tier 8
- The sample size is small, but Luis Hernandez is turning heads at the Complex League. The Giants’ big signing from this past January is already making a name for himself. At 17 years old, Hernandez is handling the Complex League with ease. A bit of a smaller frame, Hernandez makes up for this with great bat speed and barrel control. His hands explode through the zone, helping him to get to his pull side. This is the biggest reason for his four homers in only 13 games. His profile is more than just power, though. Hernandez is also a plus runner with good hands in the field. He could move quickly through San Francisco’s system, which is quietly building a plethora of exciting young infield prospects.
- John Gil has the tools to become a significant dynasty asset. Gil’s breakout started at the end of last season and has rolled right into 2026. Although the hit tool is still raw, Gil’s tools are shining. He is on pace to shatter his career-high of seven home runs, having already hit six this season. He has a great feel for pulling the ball in the air and should produce 18-22 home runs at his peak. His speed and athleticism are also shining early on. Gil has stolen 23 bases this year and stole 54 last season. He should not be in High-A much longer. Gil moves up to 111 on this month’s update.
Tier 9
- Ramon Ramirez is the Royals’ catching prospect to roster. The attention goes to former first-round pick Blake Mitchell, but Ramirez is the name dynasty managers should be paying attention to. Since signing out of Venezuela back in 2023, Ramirez has done nothing but hit. That has not changed in High-A, as Ramirez is slashing .316/.374/.519 through his first 34 games. None of Ramirez’s tools in particular stand out, but they combine to form an exciting profile. Ramirez makes consistently hard contact, driving balls into the gaps. His all-fields approach helps him maintain strong BABIPs and should provide a stable floor. He has 15-20 home run upside as well and has posted strong HR/FB rates throughout his professional career. A strong start to the season moves Ramirez up to 136 on this month’s prospect list.
- Robert Arias has yet to generate much hype despite continued offensive success. The 19-year-old left-handed hitting outfielder signed with Cleveland out of the DR in January of 2024. Although the end-of-season slash lines have not always been there, Arias’ profile has shown steady improvement. The one thing that has always stood out has been his hit tool and approach. In each of his first two seasons, Arias has walked more than he has struck out, and is on pace to do so again in 2026. He can be selectively aggressive, but also has great contact skills, which help to provide a stable base. His speed is also a plus tool. Arias has already stolen 20 bases in 36 games this season. The biggest improvements have been in Arias’ power. His power each season has risen from zero homers to two homers, and now up to four home runs this year. As Arias has matured and filled out his 6’1″ frame, more raw power has started to develop. He is also getting to his pull side more than ever before, fueling this power surge. Arias is an intriguing dynasty prospect and one who deserves more attention.
