Top 10 Outfield Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball (2025)

Jasson Dominguez - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, MLB Prospects, Draft Sleepers

Eric Cross' top outfield fantasy baseball prospects. Read his latest 2025 fantasy baseball OF prospect rankings, including which players to target in dynasty.

If the shortstop position isn't the most appealing for fantasy baseball purposes, the outfield would take that title. In my January 2025 dynasty rankings, 14 of the top 25 were outfield eligible, as this position has seen a consistent influx of exciting, young talent over the last several years. That's not going to change this year, either.

Out of my top-10 outfield fantasy baseball prospects below, at least four will spend notable time in the majors this season, and we might see one or two more later in the season as well.

For my entire top 150 and additional write-ups, check out my Patreon, where you can also find other positional prospect rankings. And make sure to continue checking RotoBaller, as I will go through all positions in the coming weeks!

Outfield Prospect Rankings for Fantasy Baseball

Age and highest level in parenthesis

1. Roman Anthony, BOS (21/AA)

There's no clear-cut No. 1 prospect in baseball right now, but I believe Roman Anthony would receive the most votes if we took a poll.

I saw plenty of Anthony live this season in Double-A, and he's the real deal. There were some concerns about his swing decisions earlier in the season, but those improved as the season wore on, finishing with a contact rate of around 75%, a 14.6% walk rate, and a .291/.396/.498 slash line.

Anthony is the complete package with an above-average hit tool, speed, a rock-solid approach, and plus or better raw power. Boston has made him untouchable in trade talks, so expect to see him in Fenway Park's outfield very early in the 2025 season and perhaps as the front-runner for 2025 AL Rookie of the Year honors.

2. Jasson Dominguez, NYY (21/MLB)

Recovering from Tommy John surgery and a subsequent oblique injury limited Jasson Dominguez to 317 total plate appearances in 2024, with 250 of those coming in Triple-A.

We've seen the upside with Dominguez, just not more than a quick glimpse at the major league level. Dominguez posted back-to-back seasons with at least 15 home runs and 35 steals in the minors before cranking four home runs (HRs) in eight games with the Yankees in 2023. He then added 11 HRs and 16 stolen bases (SBs) in just 58 minor league games in 2024.

While he's a switch hitter, Dominguez is more potent from the left side, which plays well at Yankee Stadium, and he continues to show a willingness to run often. We're looking at a player with the skills to flirt with a 30/30 season while also providing a solid AVG and OBP.

Dominguez's full-time role has finally opened up, too, as Juan Soto and Alex Verdugo are off the roster.

3. Walker Jenkins, MIN (19/AA)

In the "Who is the new No. 1 prospect in baseball" discussion, Walker Jenkins is the youngest currently in the mix. Well, at least from a fantasy perspective.

Jenkins ran an 85% contact rate in Low-A and was just under 80% in High-A before a cup of coffee in Double-A to close out the season. This came with an elite approach that led to more walks (56) than strikeouts (47), and Jenkins used his solid speed and athleticism to swipe 17 bags in 82 games.

But the real X factor with Jenkins is his power development. There's been hope that he would develop into a plus or better power bat, but we haven't seen a ton of progression in the power department. If that happens in 2025, Jenkins could be the new top dog in the prospect world.

But if not, he'll likely slide a bit down the rankings.

4. Dylan Crews, WAS (22/MLB)

While his overall numbers didn't jump off the page, it was still a solid season for Dylan Crews.

In 100 games between Double-A and Triple-A, Crews racked up 21 doubles, 13 HRs, and 25 SBs with a .270/.342/.451 slash line before adding three HRs and 12 SBs in 31 games with the Nationals to close out the season.

Crews posted an impressive 86.3% zone and 77.2% overall contact rate with above-average quality of contact metrics and a 93rd-percentile sprint speed. While I don't project him to be an early round stud, Crews has the upside at the plate to be a top-50 overall player who pushes or exceeds 20/20 annually with a respectable AVG and OBP.

He and James Wood are going to form a fun middle-of-the-order for Washington.

5. Chase DeLauter, CLE (23/AAA)

Anyone who follows my works knows that I've always been a big supporter of Chase DeLauter.

When healthy, DeLauter is a top-10-caliber prospect for fantasy, and I don't think there's much of an argument against that. DeLauter brings the entire package to the table offensively with an above-average to plus hit tool, plus power, and above-average speed as well.

It was a small sample size, but he made contact nearly 86% of the time in Double-A last season and 92% of the time in Triple-A, but only with 21 BBE. Given DeLauter's blend of contact, approach, power, and speed, he has the all-around skill set to be an impact fantasy outfielder if he can stay healthy.

That's been the major red flag in his profile and the reason why he's not several spots higher in my overall rankings.

6. Emmanuel Rodriguez, MIN (21/AAA)

I've struggled with my Emmanuel Rodriguez ranking over the last year or two.

The positives are his immense raw power, above-average speed, and ability to get on base at a high clip, thanks to his massive walk rate. But at the same time, Rodriguez only made contact at a 66% clip in 2024, and you have to wonder if he's too patient.

It's good to draw walks, but Rodriguez walked at a 24.4% clip in 2024. His passivity limits his ability to do damage and puts him in plenty of two-strike counts. The upside is here for Rodriguez to be a high-impact fantasy outfielder and a potential stud in OBP formats. But I'd like to see him be a bit more aggressive and hit out pitches to do damage more frequently in 2025 and beyond.

7. Max Clark, DET (20/A+)

As the third overall pick in the 2023 draft, expectations have been high for Max Clark, and he didn't disappoint during his first full professional season.

In 107 games between Low-A and High-A, Clark slashed .279/.372/.421 with 21 doubles, nine HRs, 29 SBs (only four CS), and a 12.4% walk rate.

Clark is a phenomenal athlete with double-plus speed and above-average contact skills, but the X factor for him long-term is how much game power he ultimately provides. We saw Clark post an 87.3 mph AVG EV and 35.6% hard-hit rate in Low-A last season, but the hope is that he adds more bulk and becomes an annual 20-homer threat.

If not, he can still rely on his elite speed, contact skills, and higher OBP.

8. Zyhir Hope, LAD (20/A)

Outside of Kristian Campbell, you could make a case that no prospect had a bigger rise in rankings in 2024 than Zyhir Hope.

After coming over in the Michael Busch trade last offseason, Hope exploded during his first season in the Dodgers organization, slashing .290/.419/.484 with 16 doubles, nine HRs, nine SBs, and a 15.1% walk rate in 61 games, 54 of which coming with Low-A Rancho Cucamonga.

There was nothing fluky about Hope's ascension, either. He made contact at a 76% clip while showcasing an advanced eye for his age and plus raw power already. He demolishes fastballs, but Hope can get himself into trouble with breaking pitches. That's something he has time to work on, though.

If he takes another step forward in 2025, we could see Hope inside my top 10 overall.

9. Robert Calaz, COL (19/A)

Robert Calaz is turning into a prospect crush of mine.

First and foremost, Calaz is an elite power bat already, having had a 109.5 mph 90th percentile EV in 2024 as a 19-year-old. That's a level of power you don't see too often from someone Calaz's age.

Calaz tapped into that power early and often in 2024, smashing 14 doubles and 12 HRs in 62 games with a .634 SLG and .290 ISO. He's also shown a solid approach at the plate but doesn't project to stand out in the AVG or OBP departments. But even as a .260 type of hitter or even .270, given his future home ballpark, Calaz could still wind up as a high-impact fantasy bat and a prolific source of power.

10. Lazaro Montes, SEA (20/A+)

Lazaro Montes is a prime example of minor league stats sometimes being misleading on the surface.

Montes has never hit lower than .284 in his three minor league seasons and hit .288 in 116 games last season. Going off his yearly averages, you'd think he makes plenty of contact. Well, that's not the case, as Montes made contact at a 69% clip in 2024 and only 65% in High-A.

If he can stick around 70% with his power level, that's still a satisfactory outcome and one that should have him settling in as an impact power hitter. But given that he's not going to provide much in the bag-swiping department, Montes will need to hit for at least a respectable AVG going forward.
