Thanks for noticing Should be all set now. Horton has already had Tommy John and worked his way back this season. There is some power here so hes not a Dee Strange-Gordon type, but the power wont blow anyone away, think in that 12-15 homer range. He is a high-floor type arm with a good chance to stick as a starter. Instead of a 25-20 upside that I think Jones has, Cermak is in the 20 homers and 10-12 stolen-base bucket of players. The upside is top 5 closer in baseball with that stuff, and he could be up relatively soon. Read millions of eBooks and audiobooks on the web, iPad, iPhone and Android.

In addition to his power, you could make an argument that Davis is an easy plus hit tool. B_Don loves him some Michael Harris II, but Grey isn't completely sold. I just question if he will make enough contact, but if he does he will make this spot look foolish. Hell provide solid ks and shouldnt hurt your ratios. Holliday doesnt really stand out in any one area but has the potential to be above-average to plus across the board with a quick and smooth left-handed swing and a frame that has added strength with more projection left.

Hopefully he does touch home in a game 163, because his dad may or may not have. After spurning the Red Sox last draft, Jud Fabian is now with their division rival. Those two are safer, but Jobe has the highest upside of any pitcher in this draft class in my eyes. . One of the 2022 Fantasy baseball sleepers the model is all over: Dodgers closer Craig Kimbrel.

Top-100 2021/22 FYPD Rankings for Fantasy Baseball By Eric Cross Last updated Feb 6, 2022 Another great MLB draft is in the books, and what a marvelous draft it was. Arguably the best pure hitter in the draft, Termarr has all the makings of a fantasy stud. Hes my 2nd favorite arm in this class behind Lesko. Much like 2020 UCLA draftee Garrett Mitchell, I do not think McLain is getting the respect he deserves. (Eric), From: James Madison HS (VA) | Drafted By: Chicago Cubs, Without question, the prospect that has done the most to raise his stock since the draft has been James Triantos of the Cubs. Think of Cermak like a less tooled up Brock Jones, and thats why he is down here. Jacob Misiorowski, P Milwaukee Brewers. The 2022 fantasy baseball season might be near its conclusion, but the 2023 season will be here before you know it! Campbell has the makings of being a starter long term. Brown is almost too patient at the plate and his contact is often ground balls. (Cross), Overall, Jud Fabian is a talented player on both sides of the ball. Cross does not have any standout tools but has a good blend of hit, power, and speed. A new year, a new board and new ranks. He finished the year with a .374/.490/.680 slash line over 253 plate appearances. Its not likely to be anything more than 15-18 homer pop but he can steal a bag, shows a mature feel for hitting, and should hit atop a lineup. Davis bat is legit and I do not think playing catcher hurts his fantasy stock. The upside is limitless for Horton. That should not matter to you if you have watched him pitch. If hes available around pick 30 in your FYPD, Id be tempted. He did have some strikeout issues this spring and his swing can get a tad long at times, but when he does connect, the sound off the bat is astonishing and his slight uppercut swing path creates plenty of natural loft and backspin. He did have a sparkling debut when he became a professional, hitting .370/.514/.630 in his 35 plate appearances at the complex level. (Clegg), Cade Horton earned a huge pay day over his final five stars for Oklahoma.

The bat has a chance to be special. The track record of prep catchers has not been great in the past, but that could change with the recent crop of prep catching talent. Addison Barger TOR, 3B/SS, 23.5 - Barger has one of the most beautiful and beastly lefty swings in the minors, and he used it to go deep off a 95.5 MPH David Bednar fastball. Hes massive at 64 and weighs in at 240, but what he does do is hit the ball hard and far. The range of outcomes with Green are pretty massive. Hes not going back to Vandy next year, and if he plays in the independent league why cant I take him? Justin Campbell, P Cleveland Guardians. There's .290/15+/20+ upside in his profile as a top-of-the-order caliber hitter. Middle of the order masher type, who could help in the HR and RBI department. I am not sure about how his speed will age as he gets older and more physically mature. Hes not a five-category contributor but he should post an elite average, and pitch in everywhere else while hitting lead-off for the Red Sox. It's quite possible that Manzardo was a bit overlooked in this year's draft for two reasons: 1) he's a first-base only prospect who needs to continue to develop into a better defender and 2) he played for an average Washington State team. 2023 Preseason; 2022 Season to Date; 2023 Rest of Season; 2017-2022 Hitters; 2017-2022 Pitchers; Historical (since 1903) Prospects.

He is a solid lefty who reached 95 on the fastball regularly. He does hit the ball hard, which means there is some intrigue if he gets more aggressive and begins to lift the ball more. With some of the best bat-to-ball skills in last year's draft Jackson, impressed in his senior year, slashing .685/.749/1.392 in 41 games. He has repeatable delivery and throws plenty of strikes.

Early 2022 Fantasy Baseball Rankings: How the first two rounds of your draft might look How high will Bryce Harper and Marcus Semien go?

Whisenhunt missed all of his college season after testing positive for a banned substance and ended up falling to the second round. If Milwaukee can get his command to passable, then we are talking about their next success story.

However 12-15 homers with 30+ stolen-bases and solid rate stats atop an order makes a very attractive fantasy asset. I think his catching days are numbered but a potential 30 homer bat that walks nearly 10% of the time at first-base is an attractive option. It gets late movement that deceives hitters. (Cross), Dylan Beavers has an intriguing power and speed blend but unfortunately has concerning contact rates. It won't be long before we see him on the MLB level. Not one tool stands out here, but Elliott could develop into a 50-hit, 50-power, 55-speed type. Hell need to continue refining his command and strike-throwing, but the upside here is enticing for sure. If you are a rebuilding team I can understand bumping him down your draft board, but I am fairly confident this guy is going to be a low-end OF2, high-end OF3 for someone. Dynasty fantasy baseball leagues are heating up, which means many of us are prepping for First Year Player Drafts (FYPDs) to replenish our farm system and build our next championship winning squad. I question if he will ever hit enough to tap into that power and speed but at this price hes worth the gamble. Bednar features a plus fastball that sits in the mid 90s. He has a smooth swing from the left side of the plate and has great mechanics with his swing. Leskos upside is immense, and it comes with a fastball that already sits mid-90s, an incredible changeup, and a dominant curveball.

I am not saying hes the next Aaron Judge, but he does have all the ingredients to be the next Aaron Judge for the Yankees. Whether he remains a starter or a reliever is very much in the air. He hit a 468 foot home run with a 112 mph exit velocity and his one 485 feet with an aluminum bat. Regardless, there is plenty to like in Cusicks profile. Baez swings for the fences regularly, and if he shortens the swing some and gets less erratic, the hit tool will certainly improve. (Chris), From: East Catholic HS (CT)| Drafted By: Kansas City Royals, As Chris mentioned above, we were able to get live looks at both Frank Mozzicato and Ben Kudrna at Fall Instructs while out in Arizona back in October. I dont go out of my way too much, but I am fairly confident Termarr will be very good for a long time. Hjerpe is going to get some of that Cardinals devil magic dusted on him and hes going to become a fantasy stud. Cusick is capable of holding his velocity late into starts. 2022 FYPD Dynasty Baseball Fantasy Baseball Featured First-Year Player Draft FYPD MiLB MLB Jason is based in Chicago. Mule has a bit more power than Winn did as an amateur. I think Baltimore gets him to cut down on his in-zone whiffs and that could be enough to kickstart the hype train.

The 62 New Jersey prep right-hander is one of the most electric arms in the 2021 class, sitting in the upper-90s with good run and sink.
