| Rank | Name | Lg | Team | Pos | Comments | Rating | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trea Turner | N | PHI | SS | Durable in four of five years. No big changes. Led league in PA. Would expect speed to decline soon. | 3 | |
| 2 | Bobby Witt | A | KCR | SS | Extreme LA and elite speed. Worst in second half. Finished year hitting second. | 3 | |
| 3 | Bo Bichette | A | TOR | SS | Streaky, hit .406-7-27 in September. EV and HH% were up. Mediocre speed makes 2021 SB a fluke. | 3 | |
| 4 | Fernando Tatis JR. | N | SDP | SS | |||
| 5 | Amed Rosario | A | CLE | SS | Cut K%, elite speed. Slow starter again. Hit 2nd, lineup spot really matters. | 3 | |
| 6 | Tim Anderson | A | CHW | SS | Cut K% sharply, but power also down. Missed time with groin and thumb. | 3 | |
| 7 | Francisco Lindor | N | NYM | SS | K% remained up and speed is in decline. | 2 | |
| 8 | Xander Bogaerts | N | SDP | SS | HR% worst since 2017, power returned late. EV down significantly but played through injury. | 3 | |
| 9 | Oneil Cruz | N | PIT | SS | Elite EV and speed. 34% K, huge September. High-risk, high-reward. | 3 | |
| 10 | Ezequiel Tovar | N | COL | SS | Breakout at AA, clear 20/20 ability. Could be favorable price. | 3 | S |
| 11 | Wander Franco | A | TBR | SS | 10% K, chronic injuries but looked great in April and September. | 3 | |
| 12 | Dansby Swanson | N | CHC | SS | Super durable in three consecutive years. HR% about the same for three years. EV was up. Price is solely for PT. | 3 | |
| 13 | Nico Hoerner | N | CHC | SS | K% down to 11%, increased LA. Struggled in second half. Has probably reached ceiling unless he's promoted in lineup. | 3 | |
| 14 | Willy Adames | N | MIL | SS | FB% from 2021 held. Showing strong growth. XBA in line with real. | 3 | |
| 15 | Corey Seager | A | TEX | SS | Second best HR% of career. .283 xBA. Slowed a bit in second half. | 3 | |
| 16 | Jeremy Pena | A | HOU | SS | Smashed LHP, hot in September and playoffs. Elite speed. | 3 | |
| 17 | Carlos Correa | A | MIN | SS | Almost no change, BA was a fluke. | 3 | |
| 18 | CJ Abrams | N | WSN | SS | Awful walk rate, didn't improve in WAS. Ended year hitting 2nd and 91 speed. | 3 | |
| 19 | Jorge Mateo | A | BAL | SS | High LA and elite speed. Defense could keep him as starter. | 3 | |
| 20 | Javier Baez | A | DET | SS | Second best K% of career. Better in second half but still not great, EV well down. Speed down. Clear decline. | 3 | |
| 21 | Elvis Andrus | A | FA | SS | Power rebound with White Sox, increased LA. Speed has tanked. | 3 | |
| 22 | Ha-Seong Kim | N | SDP | SS | High LA, made progress in second half. Still not a regular. | 3 | |
| 23 | Isiah Kiner-Falefa | A | NYY | SS | 14% K, showed some pop in September. | 3 | |
| 24 | J.P. Crawford | A | SEA | SS | 13% K but horrendous EV. Demoted in lineup late in year. | 3 | |
| 25 | Royce Lewis | A | MIN | SS | Second torn ACL, very impressive when he played. | 4 | |
| 26 | Brandon Crawford | N | SFG | SS | Fought knee problem, no sign of 2021 numbers. | 2 | |
| 27 | Adalberto Mondesi | A | KCR | SS | Torn ACL, speed already tanked. | 2 | |
| 28 | Jose Iglesias | N | FA | SS | Hit better on the road than at Coors. Still strong contact. | 3 | |
| 29 | Oswald Peraza | A | NYY | SS | Some pop and elite speed. Didn't hit the ball hard, and BA has been mediocre. | 3 | |
| 30 | Anthony Volpe | A | NYY | SS | |||
| 31 | Miguel Rojas | N | LAD | SS | Ev bad in b2b years but making contact. | 3 | |
| 32 | Brice Turang | N | MIL | SS | |||
| 33 | Dylan Moore | A | SEA | SS | SB skills better than actual speed, 29% K. | 3 | |

| 36 | Elly De La Cruz | N | CIN | SS | |||
| 37 | Mauricio Dubon | A | HOU | SS | Much improved K% but didn't hit RHP. Somewhat interesting. | 3 | |

| 39 | Alan Trejo | N | COL | SS | Some pop but nothing else. | 3 | |
| 40 | Nick Ahmed | N | ARI | SS | Shoulder surgery in June. Was terrible in 2021. | 2 | |
| 41 | Edmundo Sosa | N | PHI | SS | |||
| 42 | Jose Rodriguez | A | CHW | SS | |||
| 43 | Jose Barrero | N | CIN | SS | 44% K, fractured hamate bone. 2021 was only showing of upside, but was good enough to be worthy flier. | 3 | |
| 44 | Garrett Hampson | N | MIA | SS | Only hit LHP. | 3 | |
| 45 | Maikel Garcia | A | KCR | SS | Good speed and has hit for BA. Interesting stash. | 3 | |
