Welcome back to another exciting season of baseball! Our Dynasty team has been killing it all offseason by providing high-quality content about prospects, Dynasty, and more! For me personally, nothing signals the start of another season quite like the Dynasty 350. There has been incredible player movement this offseason, and this edition is likely to look significantly different from the final edition last September. Here is a reminder about the process and how you can utilize these rankings in your own way.
1) Rankings are based on fantasy value only, and several factors go into them. Some of those factors include current and future value, age, team context, injury risk, playing time, skill regression (positive or negative), and prospect proximity.
2) When reviewing these, remember that tiers exist within the rankings. A 30-spot gap between two players is relatively insignificant and could be a matter of personal preference or proximity for prospects. At the same time, all the possible factors should be considered when assessing those two players.
3) My rankings should serve as a baseline for your own. Everyone has their process of player evaluation and value assessment while also working on configuring their rankings toward league settings.
June is over halfway over, and teams have eclipsed the 70-game mark and are chugging along toward the All-Star Break. There has already been one blockbuster trade, with several more sure to come over the next 45 days. As usual, the Dynasty world never sleeps, as regardless of your position in the standings, you are ready to push toward the finish line this season or look ahead to 2026. Several notable players have taken significant steps forward and back this month, altering their values in your Dynasty leagues. Here is a look at the Dynasty Top 350 for June!
RISERS
Hunter Goodman, 1B/OF, COL
Never did I ever expect to write up Hunter Goodman as a riser in Dynasty. The skills are a mixed bag, featuring solid batted-ball data alongside a lot of swing-and-miss and plate discipline that makes you cringe. But Goodman is doing things this season and is quietly becoming a guy you want to roster in fantasy. Entering 2025, Goodman was a career .192 hitter with 84 strikeouts in 301 PAs (27.9% K rate) as a Rockie. Although his track record was much better in the Minors, Goodman never could put it all together at the highest level. 2025 has been a different story. In 69 games with the Rockies, Goodman is slashing .284/.326/.494 with 11 homers, 16 doubles, and a 114 wRC+, nearly double his previous career high. There is an inflated BABIP (.356), but then again, everyone who plays in Coors gets a little extra boost. His batted-ball data has taken a significant upturn in 2025, as he has raised his hard-hit rate by over 10%, his average exit velocity by almost four mph, and he’s getting the ball into the air more, which bodes well in Colorado. There are still significant red flags, however, in the form of a sub-70% overall contact rate and a chase rate approaching 37%. That said, Goodman ranks inside the Top 20 at his position and has crept up into the Top 275 overall in Dynasty. The volatility in his profile could easily flip his ranking on its head by the end of 2025, but for now, Goodman is a nice piece in Dynasty.
Jacob Wilson, SS, ATH
From one end of the spectrum to the polar opposite as A’s SS, Jacob Wilson is a rising star. Wilson is the anti-Goodman, having ELITE bat-to-ball skills but middling power. If you think back to the FYPD piece that I wrote about his Draft class, Wilson was described as this:
Wilson is a better real-life player than a fantasy player. Oakland’s team context is unfavorable, and the park is even worse. Since he is not a power bat, Wilson has mild fantasy appeal in OBP/batting average leagues or AL-only leagues. However, as an elite defender, Wilson is a lock for regular playing time with consistent at-bats.
Things have obviously changed since November 2023, as the A’s offense is now exciting, the park is now positive, and Wilson is proving to be viable in all formats. His .367 batting average ranks second in the AL, while his 6% strikeout rate is the best in the game. Wilson is making contact at a 92.6% overall clip and just over 94% in-zone and has flashed a little pop en route to eight home runs. I’m still not convinced by the power output, as his batted-ball data is relatively poor, and he ranks last in swing speed. With all of that in mind, Wilson provides the safest batting average floor in the league, and if he can run into 8-10 homers with 10-ish steals, his value in Dynasty is inside the Top 25 at his position and firmly inside the Top 350 overall.
Andy Pages, OF, LAD
It felt like it took forever for the Dodgers to fully embrace Pages as a regular player, but now that he’s playing regularly, his skills are starting to shine through. The 24-year-old is having a post-hype breakout in 2025 with a .281/.320/.480 slash line with 13 homers and six steals. Despite a relatively high chase rate (35%), Pages makes above-average league contact with a manageable 18.2% strikeout rate. Ideally, I’d like to see more walks (13 in 256 ABs), but we’ll take the good with the bad. Although he’s getting favorable results, his batted-ball data is pretty meh, but I anticipate positive regression in the future based on his track record in the Minors. Pages is also an excellent defender, which has solidified his place in a loaded Dodgers’ outfield, and that’s a skill that you can’t take away. Pages has climbed inside the Top 180 overall, and at just 24 years old, this could be the first in a long string of productive MLB seasons.

PROSPECT RISER
Luis Pena, SS, MIL
I’ve written extensively about my love for Luis Pena, including our monthly series on the NL Central. Pena gets overlooked due to the meteoric rise of his organizational mate, Jesus Made, but the 18-year-old is an excellent prospect who has surpassed Made in the hierarchy. Pena has completely dominated Class-A this season, slashing .315/.370/.506 with 16 extra-base hits (6 HR) and 27 steals. He’s walking at an 8% clip but, more impressively, has just a 13% strikeout rate. Even though he’s almost two and a half years younger than the average player at his level, Pena is making excellent contact (82%) and has routinely impressed with high EVs and barrel rates. At his current pace, Pena should get the bump to High-A by mid-summer and could sniff Double-A by the end of 2025. He’s easily a Top 10 overall prospect and has the skills to reach #1 before his Minor League career ends.
FALLERS
Michael Harris II, OF, ATL
The perception of Michael Harris versus the reality of Michael Harris is among the most significant gaps in all of fantasy. After a dynamic rookie season in 2023 (.293-18-20), Harris vaulted inside the Top 50 overall and became a borderline second-rounder in redraft. Since the breakout, the 24-year-old has honestly been quite average. In 2024, Harris hit .264 with 16 homers and 10 steals, a decent fantasy season supported by his expected stats. Under the surface, Harris was showing signs of issues with his plate discipline and contact rates. Those red flags have carried over to 2025, where his chase rate has climbed to over 41%, and his batted-ball data has dipped. In most instances, fantasy owners wouldn’t care, but the production has not been there. In 267 at-bats, Harris is hitting just .236 with six homers and a .618 OPS. He’s walking at a 3.5% clip, one of the lowest rates in Major League Baseball. Despite that, he has already achieved 41 RBIs and 10 steals, which matches his total from 2024. Unfortunately, that’s about it for his fantasy value. Harris has scored just 17 runs in a Braves lineup that has been inconsistent but still better than most in baseball. I’ve dropped Harris down to #75 overall, but even that feels dirty, given his level of production. In reality, he’s probably a borderline Top 125 player, but I’m giving him a pass for now.
Matt McLain, 2B/SS, CIN
2024 was a complete wash for Matt McLain, as he injured his left shoulder before the start of the season and never returned. McLain did play in the AFL in the Fall, appearing in 13 games for Glendale and staying healthy throughout. It was particularly encouraging that he hit four homers during the AFL, giving fantasy owners a bit of confidence about his surgically repaired shoulder. Not much has gone right for McLain this season. He’s hitting .191 with a near-30% strikeout rate and a 67 wRC+. McLain does have eight homers and 11 steals, but his batting average is so poor that he’s killing you in that category, which nullifies the HR/SB. If not for a favorable home-hitting environment (.785 OPS in CIN), McLain would be unrosterable in redraft. Much like Harris, I’ve got McLain higher than I’d like, but I’m optimistic for a turnaround in the second half.
Trevor Story, SS, BOS
One bat I can no longer give a pass to is Red Sox shortstop Trevor Story. My Red Sox bias likely influenced his inclusion in the Top 150 overall in last month’s edition, but the reality is that Story hasn’t been good since his final season in Colorado in 2021. Since joining the Red Sox, Story has a .696 OPS with 295 strikeouts in 232 games. Most of that span has been injury-plagued, but now healthy, he’s still not good. Thanks to a recent hot streak, Story is batting .234 on the year with nine homers and 11 steals. All of his metrics are well below average, with a 47.6% hard-hit rate being the lone outlier. In addition, the elevated strikeout rates that we previously overlooked during his productive days in Colorado can no longer be ignored. Story has also become a poor fielder, which will likely make him a utility player once his six-year, $140 million contract expires in 2027. Things have been headed in the wrong direction for quite some time, and now his ranking is finally reflective of that.
PROSPECT FALLER
Carson Williams, SS, TBR
Williams has eerily similar measurables and skills to a young Trevor Story. Standing 6’2 and 180 lbs, Williams has shown flashes of being an above-average power bat with a near-elite defense that keeps him in the lineup. Unfortunately, he’s also got a ton of swing-and-miss in his profile, and those woes have manifested in a big way this season. Through 63 games, Williams has 10 homers and 13 steals but a 35% strikeout rate and sub-.700 OPS in his first season at Triple-A. I’d love to blame his strikeouts on adjusting to a new level, but over the past two seasons, Williams has strikeout rates of 31.4% and 28.5%, so this is not a new issue. Again, it’s easy to overlook the flaws when he’s averaging 20+ HR and 20+ steals with elite defense. Williams can still become a viable Major Leaguer, but our expectations of a mid-2025 arrival should tempered.
