THE MODEL

Every player is scored on three pillars:

  • Pulse (50%) - Recent performance from Statcast metrics (xwOBA, barrel rate, exit velo, sprint speed for hitters; stuff+, K%, FIP for pitchers)
  • Age (25%) - Youth premium with position-specific aging curves
  • Opportunity (25%) - Playing time, depth chart position, and 40-man roster status

The result: a single dynasty score that balances what a player is doing now with how long they'll keep doing it.

TIER 1: THE UNTOUCHABLES (1-5)

1.James WoodLF, WSH91.2

Elite production with a 86.3 pulse, and at 23 with a 92 age score, the ceiling is massive. Locked into an everyday role.

2.Corbin CarrollRF, AZ91.1

Elite production with a 89.2 pulse, still just 25 years old. Locked into an everyday role.

3.Bryan WooP, SEA86.6

Dominant stuff right now with a 88.3 pulse. Locked into an everyday role, . The 8% pitcher discount barely dents him.

4.Andrew PainterP, PHI86.5

Dominant stuff right now with a 99.2 pulse, and at 22 with a 95 age score, the ceiling is massive. The 8% pitcher discount barely dents him.

5.Shohei OhtaniTWP, LAD85.9

Strong pulse at 77.6, though 31 means the age score (65) is working against him. Locked into an everyday role.

TIER 2: CORNERSTONES (6-15)

6.Jackson MerrillCF, SD85.8
7.Cristopher SánchezP, PHI85.5
8.Jonathan Aranda1B, TB85.1

14.Corey SeagerSS, TEX83.7
15.Tarik SkubalP, DET83.2

Jackson Merrill at 22 is the youth play here - a 95 age score with room to grow. Aaron Judge at 33 is still producing (91.0 pulse) but the dynasty value is fading. Sell high if you're rebuilding. Cristopher Sánchez is one of only 3 arms in this tier - pitchers who rank this high despite the 8% discount are special.

METHODOLOGY NOTE

These rankings update daily during the season using live Statcast and performance data. In the offseason, they reflect end-of-season numbers plus roster moves and depth chart changes. The model does not use subjective tiers, expert consensus, or ADP - it's purely data-driven.

Disagree with a ranking? Good. That's where edges are found.
