Chris Clegg’s Top Prospects for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

Rankings Process

I often get asked what goes into my prospect rankings. My process begins with evaluating prospects on a team-by-team basis. I want to get my eyes on every player possible. It is a long process, but it is essential when ranking prospects. Live looks give you a different perspective than just watching games on MILB.TV, but you can gather plenty from watching film. I spend ample time watching every prospect I rank.

I rank each player based on how I would draft them in a prospect-only draft in a dynasty startup league. Essentially, I am looking for which prospects project to provide the most to my dynasty teams once they are in the Majors. I am not looking at a “what have you done for me lately” kind of deal.

Having access to MILB statcast and advanced metrics for every player is huge. It has undoubtedly helped solidify what the eye test shows in many circumstances.

Over the years, I have continued to refine my prospect evaluations and see what traits may cause a prospect to bust. Or what are underrated traits or undervalued prospects? All of that is incorporated into my process as well.

Talking to scouts across different organizations and gathering opinions from those inside baseball drives a ton of knowledge and has an influence on how I rank players as well.
