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.Corbin CarrollRF, AZ90.8

Elite production with a 88.6 pulse, still just 25 years old. Locked into an everyday role.

2.Juan SotoRF, NYM90.6

Elite production with a 90.2 pulse. Locked into an everyday role.

3.Ronald Acuña Jr.RF, ATL90.1

Elite production with a 90.1 pulse. Locked into an everyday role.

4.Bobby Witt Jr.SS, KC89.1

Elite production with a 85.2 pulse, still just 25 years old. Locked into an everyday role.

5.Nick Kurtz1B, ATH88.5

Elite production with a 86.3 pulse, and at 22 with a 95 age score, the ceiling is massive.

TIER 2: CORNERSTONES (6-15)

6.James WoodLF, WSH88.1
7.Vladimir Guerrero Jr.1B, TOR87.3
8.Fernando Tatis Jr.RF, SD86.6

13.Shohei OhtaniTWP, LAD86.0
14.Wyatt LangfordLF, TEX86.0
15.Michael Busch1B, CHC85.0

Roman Anthony at 21 is the youth play here - a 98 age score with room to grow. Aaron Judge at 33 is still producing (95.2 pulse) but the dynasty value is fading. Sell high if you're rebuilding. Paul Skenes is one of the lone arm 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.
