Where All Traded Prospects Rank for Dynasty Fantasy Baseball

A lot of prospects were moved this trade deadline season. Thirty-six of those prospects landed inside my top 500 for fantasy purposes. See where they landed with brief breakdowns of each player.

Top Fantasy Prospects Traded At The Deadline

1. Agustin Ramirez, C/1B, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 46

Ramirez can contribue very soon in Miami with plus power and above-average contact. He makes good swing decisions and could be a 25 HR threat with OBP numbers.

2. Aidan Smith, OF, TB

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 101

Smith is a well-rounded profile whose power plays up beyond the EVs due to his ability to lift and pull the ball. Contact is the biggest question, especially in-zone, but Smith does not chase often and has put up big numbers in his first full season.

3. George Klassen, RHP, LAA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 113

Described to me as the best athlete in the Phillies system, Klassen has an upper-90s fastball with pretty generic shape and release. The slider is a bullet pitch that misses bats at an elite rate and he pairs it with a curve with nice vertical drop and sweep. Questions remain if the command can stick.

4. Joey Loperfido, OF, TOR

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 117

Loperfido started the season hotter than any prospects and saw inconsistent playing time in Houston with the big league team. Has 13 home runs and nine stolen bases in Triple-A, with above-average contact rates and elite barrel rates. Loperfido does not expand the zone often.

5. Deyvison De Los Santos, 1B, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 126

De Los Santos has performed better than probably any prospect in baseball and has not stopped hitting home runs since joining Miami. It is big-time exit velocities with absurdly high swing and chase rates. It remains to be seen if the approach can work in the majors, but De Los Santos has a .328 average on the year, with 30 home runs in 90 games.

6. Robby Snelling, LHP, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 131

Snelling is one of the youngest pitchers in Double-A, but took a step back with his command this year and is allowing a ton of home runs in a hitter friendly league. The fastball has serious questions if it can work and the secondaries are average at best. We know Snelling can pitch better and has the talent, but the fastball does need to tick up.

7. Adam Mazur, RHP, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 136

Mazur jumped to the Majors from Double-A but was susceptible to being hit around due to his fastball. The slider is a solid offering, having nice depth to it. Will mix a curve and change and has shown solid strike throwing ability in the Minors.

8. Thayron Liranzo, C, DET

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 151

On the surface, Liranzo has not performed great this year, but he still has immense power and impact with the bat. His contact rates have improved this year, and he does not expand the zone often. Probably not a catcher long-term, but the bat will play. Might be a good dynasty buy right now.

9. Connor Norby, 2B, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 156

Norby has over 1,000 plate appearances in Triple-A to this point and has performed well. He should get a consistent opportunity in Miami to play with the big league club. The exit velo data is slightly below average, with an average feel to hit, but he has consistently outperformed the underlying data.

10. Jake Bloss, RHP, TOR

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 158

Bloss made his MLB debut less than a year after being drafted by Houston in the third round last summer. He has not missed a ton of bats, but limited hard contact. Will utilize five pitches and has a high foor to be a starter long term.

11. Charles McAdoo, 3B, TOR

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 161

I am probably higher on McAdoo than most, but he has been the Pirates best hitter in the Minors this year with respectable contact and big time power numbers. The contact has taken a step back in Double-A which is something to watch.

12. Jeral Perez, INF, CHW

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 221

Perez made a major leap this year and added muscle and power to his profile. Contact rates have been good this year, but he has shown some whiff against better fastballs, which will be something to watch as he moves up.

13. Alex Clemmey, LHP, WSH

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 248

Clemmey was a buzzy name is last years draft but has not put up great numbers this year. Aside from that, the fastball sits in the mid-90s with a really solid mid-80s slider. The changeup gets nice fade in the upper-80s, but Clemmey will need to throw more strikes.

14. Dylan Lesko, RHP, TB

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 250

Lesko has struggled to throw strikes since coming back from Tommy John Surgery, which he has in high school. The stuff is still really good with a high-riding low-to-mid 90s fastball, but he has no feel for the location of it. The changeup is a plus offering, and he added a new curveball this year to add to his slider. If he locates better, this ranking looks silly.

15. Mac Horvath, INF, TB

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 253

After a slow start to the season, Horvath has seen his contact rates trend in the right direction. He has not found a true defensive home but has some power and speed, but his ability to lift and pull the ball is notable.

16. Brody Hopkins, RHP, SEA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 258

Hopkins is a big riser this year as a 6’4” arm with a sub-five foot release height. Two fastball variations in a four-seam with a sinker that has a ton of armside. The sweeper misses a ton of bats, and his curveball has a nice two-plane break. Will mix in a cutter and a changeup. Massive up arrow here.

17. Samuel Aldegheri, LHP, LAA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 261

Aldegheri has probably outperformed the underlying this year with solid surface numbers. Fastball sits in the lower-90s with high IVB numbers, but from a higher release point. The slider plays well off of it, but has not found the zone often. The changeup has a nice fading action. Good results, but it might be a dynasty sell depending on how your league-mates value surface numbers.

18. Jacob Bresnahan, LHP, SF

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 262

Covered Bresnahan’s first full-season start last week. Big fan of what he brings to the table.

19. Graham Pauley, INF/OF, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 271

Pauley broke camp with the Padres but was likely rushed to the Majors. It is average stuff across the board, with no impact on the stolen bases.

20. Jackson Baumeister, RHP, TB

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 291

Baumeister is a fun arm I saw live several weeks ago. His low-90s fastball plays up thanks to seven feet of extension with a good movement profile. He throws a curve and slider, which both miss bats, and a mid-80s changeup. Big frame, starters profile if he can throw more strikes.

21. Trey Sweeney, SS, DET

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 299

Sweeney hits the ball hard, but often into the ground. Average contact rates and good instincts on the base paths. Could be a 15 home run/15 stolen base type with good OBP skills.

22. Jared Serna, 2B, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 303

Serna is undersized at 5’7” but can get to power with above-average exit velocities and good bat speed. He can play all over the diamond and has been a big up arrow guy this year. This ranking might be low, but Serna comps pretty similar to Sweeney in terms of offensive output.

23. Cayden Wallace, 3B, WSH

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 304

Wallace is aggressive but has made enough contact to make the profile work. He is a line drive-heavy approach with good gap-to-gap power and can pull enough balls to get into double-digit home runs.

24. Jonatan Clase, OF, TOR

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 312

Clase has seen his power metrics improve each year and, in 2024, has taken a step forward when it comes to contact. Elite runner who will steal plenty of bags. Has struggled with better fastballs that he has seen.

25. Will Wagner, 2B, TOR

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 330

Wagner has great plate discipline and contact skills, with respectable exit velocity data. He goes oppo often and hits the ball on the ground, which limits his home run output.

26. Nick Yorke, 2B, PIT

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 344

Major jump in exit velocities this year and hits a ton of line drives. Tinkerer who has made a ton of swing changes over the last several years. Average contact skills, but should make his MLB debut later this year.

27. Patrick Reilly, RHP, BAL

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 383

Reilly is an interesting arm that I saw live this year. 92-95 mph fastball from an over-the-top release paired with a solid mid-80s slider. Changeup lives in a similar velocity band to the slider but will drop in a 78-81 mph curve. Big starters frame.

28. Joseph Montalvo, RHP, DET

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 423

Montalvo is another arm I have seen this year. Heavy strike thrower with good command. Low-to-mid 90s fastball gets good armside run. Low-80s slider shows good sweep and his mid-80s changeup has late drop. Great numbers at every level.

29. Alexander Albertus, SS, CHW

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 428

Major sleeper prospect with upside who is currently on the IL with a leg fracture. Albertus makes a ton of contact with good barrel control. Very good athlete who takes big swings. Has shown good discipline and can get on base while showing great instincts to steal bases.

30. Tyler Stuart, RHP, WSH

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 438

The Nationals have a knack for big pitching prospects, and Suart fits the mold, standing at 6’9”. Has really improved his command this year and locates his fastball very well. He does not walk batters and keeps the ball on the ground. Could end up an RP or a backend/depth starter.

31. Yohendrick Pinango, OF, TOR

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 439

Pinango is a data darling who has not turned it into performance. After tearing up High-A early this year, Pinando struggled upon his promotion to Double-A. Makes plenty of contact, and hits the ball hard, just often into the ground.

32. Abrahan Ramirez, 2B, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 448

I covered Ramirez on my trip to the Florida Complex League, check it out:

33. Jun-Seok Shim, RHP, MIA

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 470

Shim has big stuff and a sturdy starter frame. He has struggled with injuries his entire career, but if healthy can make some noise. A nice upside flier for the Marlins and dynasty managers alike.

34. Moises Chace, RHP, PHI

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 473

Chace has a unique fastball and is an analytic darling. He has mostly pitched in piggyback roles this year. While he has missed a ton of bats, Chace has also struggled to find the zone and has had plenty of issues with walks.

35. Ovis Portes, RHP, CIN

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 474

Portes has a 6’4” starter frame with a big fastball that has sat between 95 and 99 all year, which is pretty impressive for a 19-year-old. He release heavily on the fastball but mixes in a changeup and slider. Risky reliever profile, but has plenty of upside to dream on.

36. Seth Johnson, RHP, BAL

Dynasty Prospect Rank: 491

Johnson missed most of 2022 and nearly all of 2023 due to Tommy John. The stuff is quite good, but Johnson has struggled to harness his command of his offerings this year since returning. Still, the results have been solid. The fastball sits 93-97, depending on the start, and he mixes in four pitches. Johnson might be a reliever, but the stuff intrigues me.
