Fresh off a complete overhaul of both my personal Top 400 prospects and my Top 600 dynasty rankings, we have a very different-looking Dynasty 400 than we had in May. There has been a ton of movement this season as new stars emerge and some of our old favorites start their downturn. The rankings reflect all of that, offering a nice balance of young and old, breakouts and fallers, and so much more. Here is the June edition of the Dynasty 400:
NOTABLE RISERS
Jac Caglianone, OF, KCR
In a 62-game debut last season, we saw a glimpse of Cags, but it was the same profile we had known all along. Entering the pro ranks, the book on Caglianone was elite power and athleticism, but also a tendency to chase outside the zone with plenty of swing-and-miss along the way. His in-zone contact rates at Florida and in the Minors showed a very solid hit tool, but the chase rates were guaranteed to drag the hit tool down. Those things have been on full display since day one, and this is what he is.
But what the 23-year-old will be in fantasy is an excellent source of power with a high probability of above-average counting skills, with an inconsistent average. The BA will truly fluctuate with the groundball rate. Caglianone was over 50% on the ground in 2025 and had a BABIP of .172. In 2026, he’s down to 40%, and the BABIP has spiked to .362, pushing that average up to the .270s. The power is here to stay! In his age-23 season, he’s already got twelve homers and ranks in the Top 10 percent in nearly every batted-ball metric, including a 57.3% hard hit rate and one of the fastest swing speeds in baseball. Perhaps the most important thing is that Caglianone is batting .257 versus LHP with a .714 OPS and 94 wRC+. Even as a league-average hitter against same-side pitching, he will be an everyday player and is worthy of a big rise in the rankings, coming in solidly inside the Top 125 overall.

Kyle Harrison, SP, MIL
When you look at Kyle Harrison amid a breakout season in his age-24 season, you would likely assume he’s spent his whole career in the Milwaukee organization and is finally getting to his peak. Instead, this is his third team in two seasons after an early 2025 trade to Boston, only to get traded to the Brewers this offseason. Plus, Harrison debuted as a 21-year-old with the Giants back in 2023, so he’s been around a while. What Harrison has done to alter the narrative around his career has been highly impressive and adds to the list of pitchers saved by the voodoo magic in Milwaukee.
Entering 2026, Kyle Harrison had a career ERA of around 4.50 with 15% K-BB rate and was quietly considered a bust after struggling over the past two seasons. Following his start on Saturday afternoon in Atlanta, the talented left-hander owns an 8-1 record with a 2.50 ERA and has tallied 87 strikeouts versus 18 walks in 72 innings. His eight wins are already a career high and rank second among starting pitchers, while also falling inside the Top 10 in strikeout rate and K-BB%. Harrison is completely dominating with his four-seam fastball, posting a swinging strike rate of 16.8% with a 33.6% CSW. While the fastball lacks outlier velocity, it averages over 13 inches of arm-side run with over 19 inches of total movement. PL has given it a 5.38 rating on the PLV, making it one of the best four-seamers in baseball. Given his age, team context, production, etc. Harrison is an easy choice to push up the ranks.
Max Meyer, SP, MIA
All offseason, I kept looking deeper and deeper into Meyer and thinking about what could be if only he could stay healthy. Meyer has dealt with so many injuries since he was drafted as the third overall pick in the 2020 draft. In his second MLB start, Meyer tore his UCL and missed the rest of 2022 and all of 2023. He logged 57 innings in 2024 but had a shoulder injury end his season early. 2025 started very well, but his performance dipped in May and June, only to have a hip injury end his season after only 64 2/3 innings. Remember what could be? What could be is now here, and it’s glorious.
Meyer is dealing this season, posting a 2.75 ERA with a career-high 26.9% strikeout rate in 85 innings, also a career best. His arsenal is now fully developed and ready to navigate hitters at the MLB level, especially with his changeup serving as a viable third putaway pitch. He’s able to throw it to all hitters, regardless of side, and miss bats with consistency, posting a 16.9% swinging strike rate on the season. His four-seamer is also much improved, pushing his iVB up to nearly 17 inches on average while still maintaining elite spin. Meyer is very close to earning the highly coveted AGA label and has established himself as a very reliable SP2 in fantasy.

Franklin Arias, SS, BOS
We’ve got a huge prospect riser, and of course, it’s a Red Sox farmhand. In my defense, Franklin Arias has been one of the best bat-to-ball hitters in the Minors since his debut. The difference now is that he’s found the power stroke, making him a legitimate four-category contributor and a non-zero on the bases, with the potential to swipe 5-8 bags even as he adds size. Playing exclusively at Double-A Portland, Arias is slashing .315/.395/.579 with 14 homers, 13 doubles, and five steals in 57 games. The plate skills remain elite, walking at a 10.1% clip with just a 14% K-rate. Did I mention that Arias doesn’t even turn 21 until November?
NOTABLE FALLERS
Bo Bichette, 3B, NYM
In 2021 and 2022, we got the best version(s) of Bichette as he hit for average and power, put up above-average counting stats, and totaled 38 steals over two seasons. At that time, Bo looked to be one of the next great shortstops and a true fantasy star. In the four years since, he’s been anything but. Bichette was solid again in 2023 but stopped running before an injury-plagued 2024 season. Last year, we had a pretty good version of Bo in his contract year, batting over .300 with double-digit homers and good counting stats, but he ran just seven times.
This offseason, he signed with the Mets and joined a crowded infield at a new position. With Bo now playing 3B, there is even more pressure on his bat to be an above-average source of power, something he’s just not ever going to be. For the most part, Bichette looks fine this season. Through 77 games, he’s batting .248 with eight homers and 81 combined runs and RBI. The batting average doesn’t look great, but he hit just .091 in March and then .207 in May, forcing him to catch up a bit. Looking at the batted ball numbers, his quality of contact is similar to previous seasons, while his contact rates are up slightly. The reason I have to lower Bo is that the bat, which was serviceable at SS, lacks the upside and thump that you need from a 3B in fantasy. The one caveat is if he ever started to run again, which we can all say isn’t happening. Barring another positional shift, Bo is a guy who will settle just outside my Top 175.
Luke Keaschall, 2B, MIN
A hot start to his rookie season had me all in my feelings about Luke Keaschall and what he would become in fantasy. A broken forearm put that on hold as he missed four months, only to return in August and perform well. As the season was winding down, Keaschall was injured again, tearing a UCL in his thumb, which ended his season. With a full offseason to recover, the 23-year-old was one of my favorite picks as a sleeper coming into 2026. Instead, he’s putting me to sleep.
2026 hasn’t been a lost season by any means, as Keaschall owns a .255/.336/.332 slash line with two homers and 11 steals in 73 games. His plate skills are outstanding, posting an overall contact rate of 85.6%, which ticks up to 93% in-zone. Keaschall doesn’t chase or strikeout much, but does enough with his walk rate and average to get his OBP to a very good level. For me, the disappointment is the power. There isn’t any. His 84.7mph average EV is in the 3rd percentile among qualified hitters, with a 3.2% barrel rate and a 29% hard-hit rate. When you look at the entire package of quality of contact and bat speed together, he’s one of the worst power hitters in baseball. There’s still value in his profile if he’s going to hit for a good average and steal 20+ bases, but he was ranked too high for me in my last update and is a guy I’m struggling to justify inside the Top 200 overall.
Lawrence Butler, OF, ATH
The LawDog isn’t even allowed off the porch anymore in wherever it is that the A’s call home, seeing sporadic playing time over the last month plus. Butler seemed to have it all together during his first two seasons, putting up consecutive seasons with 20+ homers and 18+ steals. His batting average was a bit inconsistent, largely due to contact skills, which were around league average. Despite all of it, Butler had a clear path to a Top 150 player, or higher, if he sustained that level of production. Unfortunately, that hasn’t happened.
The toolsy outfield had a brutal start to the season, batting .091 in March, .193 in April, and then .135 in May. His season-long totals are .195/.275/.305 with five homers and five steals across 70 games. With Henry Bolte and Carlos Cortes both performing well and Brent Rooker locked into the other OF spot, Butler is merely a platoon player at this point. That’s not a favorable role for a guy who experiences so much volatility in his offensive profile. As a result of all of these things, Butler is a guy trending way down and could soon exit the list.
Justin Crawford, OF, PHI
Crawford was so dynamic as a prospect, showing a 70-grade hit tool with near-80-grade speed, giving him what felt like a very safe floor if he could hit for a good average and run at will. The 22-year-old hasn’t been bad in his pro debut, but right now, he’s not hitting for average and isn’t getting on base enough to run much either. Crawford has a .244 average in 2026, adding two homers and nine steals, while hitting ninth in the Phillies’ lineup. He was never known as a high OBP guy in the sense of elite walk rates, but more as someone who used his contact and speed to run very high BABIPs in the Minors. With his average down below .250 and a sub-7% walk rate, Crawford has an OBP of .300. That’s not great. Especially given his place in the lineup. In a world where he’s the ninth-place hitter, just in front of either Trea Turner or Kyle Schwarber, Crawford has managed just 21 runs scored in 71 MLB games. 21? For context, fellow rookie Colt Emerson already has 13 in his first 29 games and that’s in a Seattle offense who struggles to score runs. For now, Crawford is just a guy who doesn’t hold much fantasy juice.
