Eric Cross' Top 100 Dynasty Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (July 2025)

Jacob Misiorowski - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers, Waiver Wire

Eric Cross' updated fantasy baseball prospect dynasty rankings - his top 100 hitters and pitchers for July 2025. Check out his dynasty prospect risers and fallers.

We've reached the All-Star break and all the excitement that comes with it. In addition to the All-Star Game, Futures game, and Home Run Derby, we also have the Major League Baseball 2025 draft kicking off today (July 13), which will bring a whole new batch of prospects added to my August prospect rankings. But for now, here are my Top 100 prospect rankings from my July update.

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

Josue Briceño, Detroit Tigers

Josue Briceño has become one of my favorite prospects in baseball. Briceño was limited to just 40 games in Low-A last season but beasted out in the Arizona Fall League, slashing .433/.509/.867 with 10 home runs in 25 games. Not only did Briceño win the league's most valuable player award, but he also won the league's triple crown.

That dominance has carried over into 2025 as well. In his first 254 plate appearances this season, Briceño is slashing .296/.417/.592 with 14 doubles, 15 home runs, and nearly as many walks (41) as strikeouts (42). Briceño has split time between catcher and first base this season, but I believe he'll wind up at first long-term. Sure, losing that catcher eligibility will be a tough pill to swallow, but Briceño's bat could stand out at any position, even at the offensive-heavy first base position.

Briceño combines an above-average 76% contact rate with an elite approach and plus to double-plus raw power. His long-term upside is a middle-of-the-order force capable of hitting in the .270-.280 range with more than 30 home runs annually. After getting the bump to Double-A recently, I should be able to get some live looks at Briceño (and Max Clark/Kevin McGonigle) when Erie plays back-to-back series in New Hampshire and Portland, ME, later this season.

Michael Arroyo, Seattle Mariners

Another prospect who recently got the bump to Double-A is Michael Arroyo, who has slashed .320/.444/.500 with 18 runs scored in his first 14 games at the level. Overall, Arroyo is slashing .277/.425/.510 in 369 plate appearances this season, along with 18 doubles, 16 home runs, and six steals.

Arroyo has been especially potent at the plate over the last two and a half months following a rough April where he slashed .195/.367/.351. In 58 games since the calendar flipped to May, Arroyo has slashed a robust .311/.451/.575 with 12 doubles, 14 home runs, and nearly as many walks (38) as strikeouts (44). Arroyo is one of just four prospects to have an ISO above .200 and an OBP above .400 while having at least 300 plate appearances this season.

Arroyo has always demonstrated elite on-base abilities with a walk rate over 12% in each of his four professional seasons. He's also had a contact rate above 75% in each of the last three seasons. But where Arroyo has been underrated is in the power department. Is he a masher? No, but there's above-average power in the profile, and Arroyo has taken a step forward in the power department this season. An offensive-minded second base prospect is always going to be highly intriguing for fantasy purposes.

Jonah Tong, New York Mets

When I saw Jonah Tong live late in 2024, I was impressed with the stuff, but never imagined he would ascend to being one of the 10 best pitching prospects in the game by the All-Star break this season. Tong has been a one-man wrecking ball down in Double-A this season, posting a stellar 1.83 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, and a 40.8% strikeout rate across 15 starts and 78.2 innings pitched. That 40.8% strikeout rate ranks second in the minors, trailing only Trey Yesavage's 41.1% mark.

Tong is slightly undersized, but his fastball is electric in the mid-90s with elite riding life. He'll also torment opposing hitters with one of the best curveballs in the minors, a mid-70s offering that falls off the table. Those two pitches are Tong's bread and butter, but he'll also mix in a serviceable slider and changeup. The one concern here is the higher 11.4% walk rate, but as long as he can keep that rate close to 10%, Tong has the stuff to be an impact arm at the highest level.

Jared Thomas, Colorado Rockies

One of the biggest prospect risers for me this month was Jared Thomas of the Rockies, who I believe is one of the most underrated prospects in baseball. In 356 plate appearances between High-A and Double-A, Thomas has slashed .322/.419/.484 with 14 doubles, 11 home runs, and 23 steals.

Thomas has shown a solid blend of contact and approach with a 73% contact rate and a 12.9% walk rate while keeping the strikeout rate in check at 24.2%. There's also above-average to plus power in Thomas' profile, and he's around an average runner as well. If Thomas winds up as a 50-hit, 55/60-power, 50-speed player who plays half of his games in Coors Field, that could be a fun player for fantasy.

Payton Tolle, Boston Red Sox

The Red Sox have had several breakout pitching prospects this season, but the biggest breakout so far has been left-hander Payton Tolle. The 2024 second-round selection has recorded a 3.25 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 6.6% walk rate, and a 39.5% strikeout rate across 63.2 combined innings in High-A and Double-A. For pitching prospects with at least 60 innings, Tolle ranks third in strikeout rate, first in K-BB rate, and third in xFIP.

Tolle sits in the mid-90s, touching the upper-90s with his 4-seamer, and will mix in an upper-80s slider, mid-80s sweeper, and a changeup around 90 mph. He can miss bats with all four of his offerings and has shown above-average command and control of his arsenal as well. He's absolutely deserving of being a Top-100 overall prospect right now and is in the Top-10 pitching prospect discussion.
