MLB Dynasty Prospect Rankings

Eric Cross' fantasy baseball prospect rankings updates - top 100 dynasty prospects for February 2025. His dynasty prospect ranking updates for fantasy baseball.

Do you smell that? That sweet smell in the air is the smell of baseball being back in our lives and spring training games underway. It's a glorious time of year, isn't it? That was a rhetorical question because, of course, the answer is a resounding yes. I'm always making updates to my fantasy baseball prospects rankings to make sure they're always up to date, and it's now time for my February update here on RotoBaller.

These MLB prospect rankings are geared toward standard 5x5 fantasy baseball leagues (AVG) and consider many factors, including performance to date, scouting grades, future projection, and video and data analysis. Or, as I like to call it... "PPP," which stands for profile, performance, and projection.

While these dynasty fantasy baseball prospect rankings are more slanted towards long-term fantasy value -- proximity, and short-term value do play a part in where a prospect lands in my rankings. If you want to see the full Top 500, then head on over to my Patreon!

Fantasy Baseball Prospect Rankings Notes

Kristian Campbell, Boston Red Sox

Kristian Campbell has now bumped up to the second spot in this month's Top 100 fantasy baseball prospect rankings, moving ahead of Jasson Dominguez and giving the Red Sox both of the top two spots. In 517 plate appearances in 2024, Campbell slashed a stellar .330/.439/.558 with 20 home runs and 24 steals across three levels.

Offensively, Campbell brings an exciting and well-rounded skill set to the table, along with plenty of defensive versatility.

Campbell played second base, shortstop, and outfield last season while posting a 79.2% contact and 89% zone contact rate. He also recorded a 46% hard-hit rate in Triple-A and showed a near-elite approach with a 14.3% walk rate, 19.9% strikeout rate, and an 8.8% SwStr rate.

The long-term upside is an annual 20/20 threat, with the upside for more to pair with a high AVG and OBP. He's likely going to be up with Boston very early this season, maybe even on opening day.

Max Clark, Detroit Tigers

Following a solid showing in 2024, Max Clark moves into my Top-10 overall this month for my updated dynasty prospect rankings. He's not in this spot solely due to his 2024 season, though. This ranking is a combination of present skills and the projection for future skill growth, specifically in the power department.

In 107 games last season between Low-A and High-A, Clark slashed .279/.372/.421 with nine home runs, 29 steals, a 12.4% walk rate, and a 19.2% strikeout rate.

Given his blend of approach and contact skills (79% in 2024), Clark's hit tool can be considered plus, and he's a phenomenal athlete with plus to double-plus speed. If Clark can start tapping into his power more, he has the potential to become a high-impact outfielder for fantasy.

Konnor Griffin, Pittsburgh Pirates

While the top of the 2024 draft class was filled with premium talent, especially on the collegiate side, you could make an argument for Konnor Griffin having the highest upside in the entire class. He's yet to make his professional debut, but there's already a high level of excitement and buzz surrounding Griffin entering this season.

To start, Griffin is an elite athlete with double-plus speed who gave high school catchers nightmares last season with a ridiculous 85 steals.

Projecting Griffin for 30-40 steals (or more) down the road is easy to do, but what makes him even more enticing is the combination of strength and speed he possesses. The power is still developing, but Griffin has a strong 6'4 frame with projection remaining to add more bulk.

It wouldn't shock me if he wound up as a 30-homer bat down the road. I'm trying not to push him too high in my rankings as the hit tool still needs to be refined, and Griffin hasn't even debuted in the minors yet, but the long-term upside is drool-inducing.

Cam Smith, Houston Astros

After being selected with the 14th pick last July by the Chicago Cubs, Cam Smith now finds himself in the Houston Astros organization as their third baseman of the future. In 32 games following the draft last year, Smith cranked seven home runs with an 11.2% walk rate, 17.9% strikeout rate, and a .313/.396/.609 slash line.

Smith showed improved contact and approach metrics in his final season at Florida State, which helped vault him into the first round. Those improvements stuck after the draft, too, as Smith had a 78.5% contact rate to pair with the solid walk and strikeout rates I mentioned above.

With an above-average hit tool and plus power as a right-handed bat with the Crawford Boxes awaiting him, Smith's value is certainly trending up as we enter 2025.

Jacob Melton, Houston Astros

Another Houston prospect I gave a bump to in this update was outfielder Jacob Melton. In 105 games last season, Melton racked up 15 home runs and 30 steals with a respectable .253/.310/.426 slash line.

While that slash line doesn't necessarily stand out, Melton had an 87% zone and 80% overall contact rate last season, with a hard-hit rate of around 40%. The problem was that he hit the ball into the ground too frequently, especially in Triple-A.

Given his blend of contact, raw power, and speed, Melton has a fantasy-friendly profile and could flirt with or exceed 20/20 down the road with a decent AVG as well. And with Houston's outfield in flux right now, I'd expect to see plenty of Melton with the Astros this season.
