Baseball America is continuing dynasty ranking season with positional breakdowns of the top fantasy baseball players heading into the 2026 season.
Shohei Ohtani, a four-time MVP and one of the most talented players to ever play the game, heads up our ranking of the top 130 outfielders and utility players available for next season.
It’s important to note the rankings below do not measure past 2025 value or projected 2026 value. Instead, our rankings look at a three-year window in an attempt to balance a variety of scoring types, with MLB proximity and performance peaks highly weighted in our analysis.
For the rest of our positional rankings, be sure to check out BA’s 2026 dynasty home page.
Top 130 Outfielder Dynasty Rankings
— Tier 1 —
1. Shohei Ohtani, UT/P, Dodgers
After hitting 54 home runs and stealing 59 bases, Ohtani slipped in 2025 to only 20 stolen bases, obviously selling out for power to reach 55 bombs. Of course, we kid. There’s really nothing to say—there’s no downside to his game except maybe that he is UT-only. Oh, wait, he’s also a pitcher. You know, the position where he has a 119 Stuff+ and a career 31% strikeout rate. If you have Ohtani on your dynasty team, just be grateful and enjoy the ride.
2. Juan Soto, OF, Mets
Soto started 2025 off slowly but finished the year as the fourth-overall hitter with 43 home runs and 38 stolen bases. The steals are the career anomaly, joining Josh Naylor as an unexpected steal source despite sprint speed in the 13th percentile. With his incredible .417 career on-base percentage, he’s essentially a cheat code in OBP formats. If he continues to steal 20-plus bases annually, the outfielder entering his age-27 season separates himself from the younger players just below him by combining five-category production with elite durability—having logged at least 654 plate appearances in each of the last five seasons—while also outperforming them in both batting average and on-base percentage.
3. Corbin Carroll, OF, Diamondbacks
Carroll had his first 30-30 season in 2025, and surprisingly has more bat speed and a higher barrel rate than Soto. Playing center field with some of the best defensive range in the league, Carroll will be a fantasy contributor for the better part of a decade and should routinely put up 30-30 seasons as he heads into his age-25 season.
4. Julio Rodriguez, OF, Mariners
Rodriguez is a virtual doppelganger of Carroll, even sharing the same age. He’s another perennial 30-30 bat with excellent center field defense. The only difference is that Rodriguez has about 20 fewer points in OBP than the Diamondbacks star.
5. Aaron Judge, OF, Yankees
If you wanted to rank Judge just behind Ohtani, we would understand. Because he is 7-9 years older than the outfielders ahead of him in the rankings, we put him here. Of course, were he to exceed their fantasy output over the next three years, we wouldn’t be surprised, as his lowest category output in the last two years was 53 home runs, 10 stolen bases, a .322 batting average, a .457 on-base percentage and a .688 slugging percentage. Those are video game numbers for the future Hall of Famer heading into his age-34 season, and he should once again put up 40-plus home runs.
6. Jackson Chourio, OF, Brewers
While Chourio is more of a 25-25 threat, he’s three years younger than Carroll and Rodriguez. In three years, however, he will likely be where the other center fielders are: poised for routine 30-30 seasons while playing rangy center field at age 25. Although a bit more aggressive at the plate, bringing his OBPs closer to .300 than we would like, that number should rise as he ages, likely peaking in the .350s.
7. Fernando Tatis Jr., OF, Padres
It’s fairly safe to count on Tatis for a 25-25 season with comfortable 30-30 upside, a batting average around .275 and an OBP in the .350s. In other words, he’s kind of what Chourio’s peak will be. Because he is five years Chourio’s senior, however, we have Tatis slightly behind him.
8. Ronald Acuña Jr., OF, Braves
After a 2023 season in which he hit .337/.416/.596 with 41 home runs and a ludicrous 73 stolen bases, there was talk in high-stakes fantasy leagues about somehow trying to make drafts less luck-based for getting the No. 1 pick because Acuña’s projections outpaced everyone by such a significant amount. As is usually the case, the feared outcomes didn’t come to pass. Unfortunately, we likely won’t get a chance to see it with Acuña again, as his knee injuries have profoundly attenuated his running game. Yes, he’s still a 30-20 threat with excellent batting average and OBP, but the injuries that led to him only accruing 634 combined plate appearances the last two years naturally lower him a bit despite still being only a 28-year-old with the kind of potential upside we drool about.
9. Kyle Tucker, OF, Free Agent
Despite a career 138 wRC+, Tucker doesn’t light up the home run and stolen base fantasy categories much with only 30 home runs and 30 stolen bases as his high marks in a season. Still in his 20s, Tucker has never been the toolsiest hitter, with bat speed and sprint speed in the bottom half of the league in each of the last four years. Still, he is one of the most sought-after free agents who hasn’t put up a sub-4 WAR season in any of the last five.
10. Wyatt Langford, OF, Rangers
In just under 600 plate appearances, Langford went 22-22 with a .241 batting average and .344 OBP as a 23-year-old. That kind of performance essentially represents his floor with continued improvement and health over the next four years. He should hit 28-30 home runs with around 20 stolen bases and a batting average that should be closer to the .270s than the .240s. That’s an excellent cornerstone for any dynasty team.
11. James Wood, OF, Nationals
In the first half of 2025, Wood had 24 home runs and 12 stolen bases with a .278/.381/.534 line and a reasonable 28% strikeout rate. That kind of performance as a 22-year-old immediately catapults you into the upper echelons. Unfortunately, the wheels fell off in the second half, as Wood only hit seven more home runs and stole three bases while putting up a putrid 39% strikeout rate to nearly set the major league mark for most strikeouts in a season. That being said, his season line was 31 home runs with 15 stolen bases, and he is heading into his age-23 season when he should be something like a 30-20 bat. One caveat is that he is a poor left fielder and may become a full-time DH sooner than we’d like, which will put a cap on his value.
12. Roman Anthony, OF, Red Sox
In 2025, the 21-year-old Anthony had a .292/.396/.463 line, scoring 48 runs in 303 plate appearances. With top-of-the-scale bat speed, barrel rates and exit velocities over that time, it must mean that, extrapolating his output to 600 plate appearances, his home run and stolen base totals should be something like 30 home runs and 10 stolen bases, right? Wrong. He hit only eight home runs somehow. The good news is that in 13 of 30 ballparks, that eight home runs would be 13 or more. So, he’s a pretty safe bet for at least 25 home runs, and probably more like 30 with natural improvement. Don’t be surprised to see Baseball America’s former No. 1 prospect in the top 10 of this list by midseason.
13. Yordan Alvarez, OF, Astros
From 2022 through 2024, Alvarez had a .303/.401/.587 triple slash line, averaging 34 home runs. Last year, however, was a bit of a nightmare for the slugger as he battled a hand injury that had him out of the lineup from May 3 through Aug. 26. Three weeks later, he stepped on home plate funny, spraining his ankle, essentially ending his season at 199 plate appearances and only six home runs. Already plagued with chronic knee injuries, the Astros have already indicated that he will play most of the time at DH, which should help his longevity but caps his value positionally. As long as he’s healthy, he’s as solid a .300/.400 30-home-run bet as there is but, heading into his age-29 season, he is now reaching his plateau phase before beginning his decline.
14. Pete Crow-Armstrong, OF, Cubs
Heading into 2025, the scouting report was that the 23-year-old played elite center field defense, should steal upward of 25 bases and not hurt you too much in the batting average or power department. Well, the scouting reports were wrong—in a good way. At the halfway point of the season, Crow-Armstrong had already hit 25 home runs with a .265 batting average. Ultimately, he finished the season with 31 home runs, 35 stolen bases and 5.4 fWAR for an incredible season. There were some warts, and that’s why he is lower than you might think a 24-year-old who plays excellent defense and hit 30-30 last year should be. His batting average was .247 and his OBP was a terrible .287, as he has one of the worst chase rates—and hence walk rates—in the major leagues. Still, he’s young and should produce at a similar mark this year with improvement in the rate stats.
15. Jackson Merrill, OF, Padres
In 2024 as a 21-year-old rookie, Merrill was an excellent center fielder en route to 5 fWAR, 130 wRC+, .292 batting average, 24 home runs and 16 stolen bases. That led to a nine-year, $135 million extension at the beginning of 2025. Unfortunately, he then missed a month with a hamstring injury and got a concussion on his first day back, missing another six weeks. All in all, Merrill finished his season with a disappointing .264/.317/.457 line with 16 home runs and only one stolen base. Like Crow-Armstrong, the OBP may never be plus or better—though it should reach .360 at peak, on account of his young age. Merrill has a great hit tool, plays great center field defense and should reach 25-30 home runs annually with the potential at least for 20 stolen bases.
16. Kyle Schwarber, UT, Phillies
Schwarber re-signed with the Phillies after hitting 56 home runs in a ridiculous 2025 season. We talked on our latest fantasy podcast about how being a full-time DH might help maintain longevity and slow his age curve. You don’t often want someone you roster to be a full-time non-position player, but when they’re elite bats like Shohei Ohtani, Schwarber and Yordan Alvarez—or even Christian Yelich—that actually is helpful for sustaining their fantasy production and protecting their full-time at-bats.
17. Riley Greene, OF, Tigers
Greene had a divisive season in which he hit 36 home runs and knocked in 111 RBIs with 92nd percentile bat speed and a 95th percentile barrel rate. But he also struck out at a 31% rate. Additionally, his chase rate skyrocketed from 23% in 2024 to 31% in 2025, leading to an OBP of .313—a big drop from his career OBP of .340 up until that point—in a career year. Only 25 years old, he should split the difference in 2026 with 30 home runs and a batting average and OBP of around .260/.330.
18. Oneil Cruz, OF, Pirates
Cruz hit 20 home runs and stole 38 bases in 2025 after hitting 21 and swiping 22 in 2024. From a tools point of view, Cruz has literal 100th percentile bat speed, exit velocities and arm strength, with 93rd percentile sprint speed. Unfortunately, from a real-life point of view, Cruz is playing out of position in center field, leading to only 1.6 fWAR despite playing a premium position and is knocking on the door of being a strong-side platoon bat after putting up an anemic .102/.224/.176 slash line with only one home run in 125 plate appearances against southpaws. The production from the 27-year-old should be there for the next three years with tremendous upside as long as he’s given the leash he deserves to keep playing.
19. Cody Bellinger, OF, Free Agent
Bellinger had a .272 batting average with 29 home runs, 98 RBIs and 13 stolen bases—good for the ninth-best outfielder in fantasy in 2025. As a free agent heading into his age-30 season, he should be a .270/.330 bat with 25 home runs and 10 stolen bases while hitting in the middle of whatever lineup he ends up signing with.
20. Edward Florentino, OF, Pirates
One of the biggest prospect breakouts of 2025, the 18-year-old Florentino showed power and speed—nabbing the top spot in RoboScout’s Low-A hitter rankings. Under the hood, Florentino shows plus contact and in-zone contact rates, a 104 mph 90th-percentile exit velocity and good swing decisions. At peak, he could be a .270/.350 hitter with 25-30 home run power and 25 stolen bases.
21. Randy Arozarena, OF, Mariners
In every year since 2022, Arozarena’s sprint speed has declined, now sitting around league average at 30 years old. That didn’t stop him from stealing 31 bases last year. Being at minimum a 20-20 player in every year since 2021, Arozarena has been a fantastically productive hitter and continues to roll on. Now, however, his batting average has been under .240 for the second-straight year and it’s probably not going to get better. From 2021 through 2023, when he had a .264 batting average, his xBA was .229. This is literally who he has been. A consistent power-speed source, he’s now in his 30s and managers should plan accordingly.
22. Brent Rooker, OF, Athletics
Everyone’s favorite baseball social media personality hit 30 home runs for the third-consecutive year while ensuring he was outfield-eligible for 2026 in most formats. Although he is now heading into his age-31 season, he is a near lock for 30-35 home runs with upside in an excellent Athletics lineup in a great park. He’s also lowered his strikeout rate in three-straight years from 32% in 2023 to 22% last year—a sign that the decline phase has some runway ahead of it.
23. Tyler Soderstrom, 1B/OF, Athletics
Achieving 600 plate appearances for the first time in his career, the 23-year-old hit 25 home runs with 93 RBIs and accrued more than 3 fWAR. More impressively, his batting average was .276 with an xBA of .272. Expect some regression in the batting average, as his projected strikeout rate corresponds to more of a .260 to .265 area. But with OF/1B eligibility and 25-30 home run power in a good lineup and offensive park, Soderstrom is likely considered a very valuable asset in your dynasty leagues.
24. Max Clark, OF, Tigers
The 20-year-old Clark had a 148 wRC+ across two levels in 2025 with 14 home runs and 19 stolen bases, ending up in Double-A. With excellent swing decisions, bat-to-ball skills and the ability to play solid outfield defense, Clark should be a 20-20 threat with above-average rates on a regular basis. He should get some time in Detroit as soon as the first half of 2026.
25. Jose Altuve, 2B/OF, Astros
For the fourth time in the last five seasons, Altuve reached the 600-plate appearance threshold. He did so while playing 47 games in the outfield—his first time playing on the grass in the major leagues. A model of consistent production, the 35-year-old also had a wRC+ of 113 or higher with a batting average of at least .265 for the fifth-straight season. Unfortunately, both of those minimums were achieved last year, suggesting he is firmly in the decline phase of production. The good news is that he was still the fifth-most productive second baseman in fantasy even in one of his “down years”. The fact that he has dual eligibility—and likely will again for 2027—gives him a boost to soften his slide.
26. Jarren Duran, OF, Red Sox
After a 21-home run and 34-stolen base 2024 campaign in which he accrued an astounding 7 fWAR and had a .285 batting average, Duran was a popular early-round redraft pick in 2025. Although he regressed to 16-24, he still earned 4 fWAR and had a 111 wRC+. Perplexingly, he is chronically cited in trade rumors. Even if Duran is traded, he will likely move to a contender and hit at the top of a lineup there, meaning power-speed production with counting stats for at least two more years. Now 29, projections see Duran’s true talent as closer to his 2025 performance than his 2024. Still, that’s productive on any roster.
27. Andy Pages, OF, Dodgers
In one of the quietest 4 fWAR seasons in recent memory, Pages hit 27 home runs, stole 14 bases and had a .272 batting average while playing excellent outfield defense, primarily in center. The bad news is that although he is only heading into his age-25 season, his expected stats—batting average, slugging percentage and wOBA—were all lower than his surface stats, portending regression that essentially cancels out the age-curve improvement that we would expect. An aggressive hitter who barely takes a walk, Pages is dinged in OBP leagues but should be a solid contributor for a championship-caliber team for several years.
28. Lawrence Butler, OF, Athletics
After hitting 22 home runs and stealing 18 bases in only 451 plate appearances in 2024, Butler was a popular target in redraft leagues in 2025. The Athletics also showed their confidence in the 24-year-old, signing him to a seven-year extension before the season started, believing in the 130 wRC+ and 3.1 fWAR that he produced. Unfortunately, Butler was good, not great, in 2025 with 21 home runs and 22 stolen bases but with a .234 batting average and a 96 wRC+. After the season, however, it was revealed that Butler would need knee surgery, potentially explaining away the regression. We believe he deserves a mulligan, and, as such, we are taking the position that he will outperform his current 23-20 projection in each of his next three years.
29. Christian Yelich, OF, Brewers
Yelich’s 29 home runs and 16 stolen bases last year made for his best fantasy performance since his MVP season of 2019. A career .285 batting average and .374 on-base percentage hitter, the 34-year-old’s true talent now is more of a .260/.350 profile who should be a 20-25 homerun bat with 10-15 stolen bases. His bat speed and sprint speed are still in the top half of the league, and if he is primarily a DH, his decline should be softened over the next few years. Although still ranked highly for 2026, if he has a down year, he may drop precipitously.
30. Michael Harris II, OF, Braves
At the completion of the 2022 season, the then 22-year-old Harris had 37 home runs, 40 stolen bases, a .295 batting average and 8.7 fWAR in only 980 career major league plate appearances. If you’re averaging 25-25 with 5 fWAR per 600 plate appearances before your 23rd birthday on one of the best teams in the major leagues, you are one of the most valuable dynasty assets. Unfortunately, over his next two seasons, including last year, his wRC+ was only 90 with 3.4 cumulative fWAR in 1,111 plate appearances. The good news is that Harris ended the season hot with 14 home runs and a .299 batting average in the second half to turn around the previous 1.5 years of poor production. Harris in 2026 will be only 25 years old and should be a 20-20 bat with better-than-average batting average. It will be a crossroads season for Harris.
31. Walker Jenkins, OF, Twins
The 20-year-old ended the year in Triple-A after putting up a 135 wRC+ across three levels in 2025. Although he has solid exit velocities, especially for his age, Jenkins has never exceeded 10 home runs in a season. Still, based on age-to-level translations, Jenkins should be a 20-25 home run bat and provide value across all of the roto categories. He should debut in 2026, and if he comes out of the gate like his teammate Luke Keaschall did, he will skyrocket up these rankings.
32. Seiya Suzuki, OF, Cubs
Across four major league seasons, Suzuki has a career .269/.346/.472 slash line with a 127 wRC+. Last year, although his batting average was only .245 after surpassing .283 in the previous two years, he notched career highs with 32 home runs and 103 RBIs. Now primarily a designated hitter, Suzuki is surprisingly in the top 25 percent of the league in sprint speed but likely won’t reach double-digit stolen bases. Suzuki should hit 25-30 home runs with .260/.340 rate stats in 2026 as a 31-year-old before hitting free agency at the end of the season.
33. Carson Benge, OF, Mets
After the Mets traded Brandon Nimmo for Marcus Semien, the 2024 first-round draft pick out of Oklahoma State has been a popular target in redraft leagues. Public projections have him as a near-average bat who should put up 15 home runs and 15 stolen bases over 600 plate appearances.
34. Byron Buxton, OF, Twins
For the first time since 2017, Buxton exceeded 388 plate appearances in a season, accumulating 542 plate appearances in 2025. And, as we’ve been waiting to see for eight years, he was extremely productive with 35 home runs and 24 stolen bases to accrue 5 fWAR. The fact that, even in his 30s, his sprint speed is in the top percentile of the league and his bat speed is in the top 12 percent, means that he has a huge head start on the decline of his raw tools. The bad news, of course, is that the specter of injury chronically looms over Buxton. Assuming health, he should be a 25-30 home run bat with 15-20 stolen bases, but the fact that he may only play half a season means that you need to adjust value accordingly.
35. Josue De Paula, OF, Dodgers
A 60-hit, 60-power bat, De Paula should be a middle-of-the-lineup masher for the Dodgers. In 2025, De Paula had excellent swing decisions, rarely offering at pitches out of the zone while exceeding 105 mph as his 90th-percentile exit velocity for the second year in a row, this time as a 20-year-old ending the year in Double-A. Although his defense could use some work, he should be an on-base machine with 25 home-run power and 15-plus steals once he cracks the lineup.
36. Cam Smith, OF, Astros
In the first half of 2025, Smith had a .277/.347/.418 slash line with seven home runs and four stolen bases while playing an unfamiliar position as a 22-year-old rookie. The wheels fell off in the second half and, although he finished the year with only nine home runs and eight stolen bases—and may not be a lock for the starting right-field job in spring training—we still believe in the combination of hit, power and speed. Still only a 23-year-old, Smith should be an above-average hitter at peak with 20-home run power and 15-20 steals.
37. Eduardo Quintero, OF, Dodgers
The Dodgers’ top prospect for 2026, Quintero should be an everyday center fielder who has above-average grades across all his tools. Based on his 2025 alone, RoboScout projects him at peak to be a .270/.370 bat with 25-home-run power and 20-stolen-base potential. In any other organization, he would be ranked higher—but with a championship lineup in Los Angeles, barring a trade, it’s difficult to see a clear path for him.
38. Dylan Crews, OF, Nationals
In 454 career major league plate appearances, Crews has an uninspiring .211/.282/.352 slash line, though with 13 home runs and 29 stolen bases. The tools are there with outfield range, sprint speed and bat speed all in the top 25 percent of the league. And only a 24-year-old in 2026, Crews should be able to reach the 20-20 club based on standard aging curves. If that is indeed the case, you would think that he should probably be ranked higher. But because he hasn’t been able to have a single month with a batting average higher than .225, there is still some hesitation from fantasy managers. Trust the pedigree.
39. Jo Adell, OF, Angels
Heading into the 2025 season, Adell had a .211/.268/.381 career slash line over 1,070 MLB plate appearances for a career -1.2 fWAR. Although he always had bat speed, he was unable to put it all together. In 2025, the 26-year-old broke out with 37 home runs and a 112 wRC+. The defense remains a liability, the batting average is still below .240 and the OBP is below .300 but, heading into his age-27 season, Adell seems poised for 35-40 home runs.
40. Steven Kwan, OF, Guardians
In none of his four full seasons in the major leagues has Kwan ever exceeded a 2.6% barrel rate. Considering he’s been in the bottom 1% in bat speed each year since it’s been publicly tracked, this shouldn’t come as a surprise. However, in the mold of Luis Arraez, although he is generally eschewed by the fantasy community, his batting average and speed are still valuable, coming in as the 28th-ranked outfielder in 2025 after putting up a .272/.330/.374 slash line with 11 home runs and 21 stolen bases. It might surprise you that that grades out as an OF2 in standard 15-team roto formats, but the batting average, runs and stolen bases were all positive contributors. What you see is what you get with Kwan and with excellent defense, he should be hitting at the top of a lineup for a few more years as he heads into his age-28 season in 2026.
41. Addison Barger, 3B/OF, Blue Jays
Barger had a career year in 2025 with 21 home runs and a 107 wRC+ over 502 plate appearances, but it was his World Series performance that has essentially guaranteed that he’ll be a full-time regular on a championship-contending club. With solid red Baseball Savant sliders for bat speed, exit velocity and hard-hit percentage, Barger does have platoon splits but should be a 20-plus home run bat with an average batting average for the next couple years (while likely retaining dual eligibility). With the confidence he gained as the postseason rolled on, it’s possible he is being under-projected and could have a ceiling of 30-plus bombs yearly.
42. Luis Robert Jr., OF, White Sox
In 2023 as a 25-year-old, Robert hit 38 home runs, stole 20 bases and had a 129 wRC+. In two injury-plagued seasons since, the batting average has not exceeded .225, and he’s averaged 14 home runs and 28 stolen bases. The power-speed combination and potential upside—not only because he’s done it before, but also as his bat speed remains in the 92nd percentile—has Robert ranked where he is. If he gets moved to a contender as the rumors continue to insist, his value should rise. 2026 feels like a year that will go a long way in determining his future value.
43. Teoscar Hernández, OF, Dodgers
For the fifth year in a row, Hernández hit 25 home runs or more. Unfortunately, his batting average, runs and stolen base total were the lowest of that half-decade run. Now 33, he should still be a 25-plus-home-run bat with a solid batting average, likely hitting in the middle of a championship-caliber lineup, but the decline phase has begun.
44. Mike Trout, OF, Angels
For the first time since 2020, Trout exceeded 500 plate appearances in a season (556). It was a far cry from his per-plate-appearance production of his prime, as Trout “only” managed a 120 wRC+ with 26 home runs. The Hall of Famer still has 25-30 home run power and should have an above-average OBP but, heading into his age-34 season, depending on whether he manages to get through a full season intact, he might not stay in the top 50 rankings by 2026.
45. Jac Caglianone, OF, Royals
After posting a 170 wRC+ in the minors in 2025 with 20 home runs in only 304 plate appearances, Caglianone’s MLB debut was more of a whimper, resulting in a .157/.237/.295 slash line across 232 plate appearances. The bat speed is literally top of the scale, and considering his strikeout rate was only 22% despite a 38% chase rate, he should be able to reach 20-plus home runs in the major leagues as soon as 2026. This ranking may look ridiculously low—or way too high—come the All-Star break.
46. George Springer, OF, Blue Jays
At age 35, Springer had the best season of his career in terms of wRC+ with a 166, taking the Blue Jays to the World Series along the way. With 32 home runs, .309 batting average and .399 on-base percentage, regression is inevitable. But Springer should still be a 25-home run bat with 15 stolen bases and above-average OBP. The question, though, is for how much longer.
47. Kyle Stowers, OF, Marlins
The 27-year-old Stowers broke out in 2025 with 25 home runs and .288/.368/.544 slash line in only 457 plate appearances before an oblique injury ended his season. With the short track record, he is likely to regress to .250/.330 with 25 home runs, but if his 2025 was indicative of his true talent level, that might be his floor. With a career strikeout rate of 30%, we’re hedging a bit on fully committing.
48. Ian Happ, OF, Cubs
For the third year in a row, the 30-year-old Happ hit around 23 home runs with around 10 stolen bases and around a .245 batting average and .345 OBP while accruing 3 fWAR. A consistently solid outfielder, the decline phase will begin and by 2028, he might just be a 15-18 home run bat. Still, until then, book the production.
49. Brandon Nimmo, OF, Rangers
For the fourth-consecutive year, Nimmo exceeded 650 plate appearances and 80 runs. Now heading into his age-33 season with the Rangers, expect OBPs in the .330s with 20-plus home runs and about 10 stolen bases. He should hit at the top of the lineup for at least three more years.
50. Joshua Baez, OF, Cardinals
The athletic Baez has 65 power and 60 speed, but in 2025 he broke out with average contact rates for the first time. If the bat-to-ball improvements are indeed real, Baez could be a 30-30 threat. That upside alone has him ranked this high.
