I was very strict with the definition of “prospect” in this update. Any player currently in the majors is not included and other borderline cases were also excluded (Pearson, Howard, Lynch, Houck). They will be ranked in the next overall dynasty rankings update. Some blurbs were written yesterday so they do not include stats from last night’s games. Here is the Updated 2021 Top 100 Dynasty Baseball Prospects Rankings: 1-105:
1) Wander Franco TB, SS, 20.3 – Career high 50% flyball percentage and is still putting up silly contact numbers (9.6% K%). Tampa is doing the baseball world a major disservice by delaying his MLB debut.
2) Julio Rodriguez SEA, OF, 20.4 – He’s too good for High-A with a 218 wRC+
3) CJ Abrams SD, SS, 20.7 – Stepped up to the challenge of an aggressive Double-A assignment, slashing .306/.382/.510 with 2 homers, 3 steals and a 23.6%/10.9% K%/BB%
4) Bobby Witt Jr. KC, SS, 20.11 – Hasn’t stepped up to the challenge of an aggressive Double-A assignment (.519 OPS). It’s too early to panic, especially after he destroyed spring.
5) Vidal Brujan TB, 2B, 23.3 – Plus hit tool (16.1%/16.1% K%/BB%) with double plus speed (3 steals), and now his power is breaking out with 5 dingers in 12 games at Triple-A.
6) Luis Matos SF, OF, 19.3 – 17.6% K% with a 51.3% FB% is a killer combo. Full season ball hasn’t slowed Matos down at all.
