1 | Julio Rodriguez | A | SEA | OF | Bad in April, then terrific. Best month was September. Leadoff over last three months. Clear 30/30 if he stays healthy. | 4 | |
2 | Ronald Acuna Jr. | N | ATL | OF | Sprint speed well down, EV down, GB way up. Didn't really progress. A lot of risk in rebound assumption. | 3 | |
3 | Juan Soto | N | SDP | OF | Batted ball data was down, K% was fine. xBA was higher but still only .266. Didn't attempt SB with SD. | 3 | |
4 | Kyle Tucker | A | HOU | OF | EV down slightly, but strong contact held. Extreme EV, ran despite speed crash. Skeptical of SB but otherwise safe. | 3 | |
5 | Aaron Judge | A | NYY | OF | Indicators mostly matched 2021. | 2 | |
6 | Cedric Mullins | A | BAL | OF | Park really hurt. Showing more extreme LA, didn't hit LHP. Benefitted from hitting leadoff. | 3 | |
7 | Michael Harris | N | ATL | OF | Power could be fluke based on LA, but has elite speed and BA potential. Maintained play through season. | 3 | |
8 | Randy Arozarena | A | TBR | OF | Mostly consistent across the board, showing some speed growth. | 3 | |
9 | Yordan Alvarez | A | HOU | OF | Cut K% significantly, slowed by wrist in August. Ridiculous .329 xba. | 3 | |
10 | Mookie Betts | N | LAD | OF | K% up slightly, mostly steady. Speed down b2b years. Not bullish on him. | 3 | |
11 | Jake McCarthy | N | ARI | OF | Elite speed. Reworked swing corrected K issues, and showing new pop. Hit 3rd in September. Still has some risk. | 3 | |
12 | Steven Kwan | A | CLE | OF | 9% K, nearly on par with minors. Minimal speed or power, but BA looks legitimate. EV sucked but hit to all fields and was consistent. | 3 | |
13 | Starling Marte | N | NYM | OF | Steep decline in speed, and some decline in EV. | 3 | |
14 | Mike Trout | A | LAA | OF | Chronic back issue but looked fine after return. K% 28% in consecutive seasons. Still running well but not attempting SB. | 3 | |
15 | Corbin Carroll | N | ARI | OF | Elite speed, clear 20/20. Batting order spot wasn't great. | 3 | |
16 | Luis Robert | A | CHW | OF | Chronic wrist problem. LA was down. Sprint speed not great. 20/20 if he can ever stay healthy. | 3 | |
17 | Bryan Reynolds | N | PIT | OF | EV was up, but K rate increase hurt BA. Speed in decline. | 3 | |
18 | Seiya Suzuki | N | CHC | OF | Very good in April and September. Japanese numbers show more power potential. | 4 | |
19 | Esteury Ruiz | A | OAK | OF | Elite speed, was first time he ever hit. Has path to playing time. | 3 | DS |
20 | Oscar Gonzalez | A | CLE | OF | Consistent BA and showed much more power in 2021. More power in September. | 4 | |
21 | Alex Verdugo | A | BOS | OF | Speed has tanked. Dug out from slow start. Improved to 13% K. Elite BA but nothing else. | 3 | |
22 | George Springer | A | TOR | OF | Played throught multiple injuries. Batted ball data was fine, but LA down slightly. Worst HR% since 2018. Leadoff all year helped SB, but speed is in decline. | 2 | |
23 | Adolis Garcia | A | TEX | OF | Good EV, some K% improvement. SB looks like a fluke. | 2 | |
24 | Teoscar Hernandez | A | SEA | OF | Elite EV but K% back up. | 3 | |
25 | Christian Yelich | N | MIL | OF | EV way down since 2021. Speed also falling. | 3 | |
26 | Jose Siri | A | TBR | OF | Elite speed and defensive skill. 33% K, inconsistent BA in minors. Should continue to play. | 4 | |
27 | Ian Happ | N | CHC | OF | Huge K% improvement and big doubles increase. Don't give up on power. | 4 | |
28 | Tyler O'Neill | N | STL | OF | EV back down after 2021 breakout, K% also improved. Elite speed, chronically injured. | 3 | |
29 | Kris Bryant | N | COL | OF | Back and plantar fasciitis. HR% well down when he played. EV worst of career, K% best of career. | 3 | |
30 | Andrew Benintendi | A | CHW | OF | Reworked swing. Career-best 15% K. EV was decent, no reason to think power can't rebound. | 3 | |
31 | Kyle Schwarber | N | PHI | OF | Best HR% of career but nearly matched 2021. 123 starts at leadoff. Best batted ball data of career. Some risk given age/profile. | 3 | |
32 | Alek Thomas | N | ARI | OF | Consistent .300+ with pop and speed in minors. Not awful until September. Tons of upside for flier. | 3 | DS |
33 | Ji Hwan Bae | N | PIT | OF | Has consistently hit for BA and run. Hit near bottom of order. | 3 | |
34 | Eloy Jimenez | A | CHW | OF | Excellent batted ball stats, K% best of career. Elite in second half. Injury prone. | 4 | |
35 | Nick Castellanos | N | PHI | OF | EV well down, but hit .288 in 2nd half. Would have 19 HR in CIN. | 3 | |
36 | Matt Vierling | A | DET | OF | Hit well vs. LHP. 15/15 potential if he plays. Could get bump with Harper out. | 3 | DS |
37 | Sal Frelick | N | MIL | OF | | | |
38 | Taylor Ward | A | LAA | OF | On par with history, likely hit ceiling. | 3 | |
39 | Hunter Renfroe | A | LAA | OF | Almost no change. Solid second half. | 3 | |
40 | Juan Yepez | N | STL | OF | Extreme LA shows 30 HR potential. Freak elbow injury. Path to PT. | 4 | |
41 | Bryan De La Cruz | N | MIA | OF | Elite in September, great batted ball stats. Interesting milb track record. | 4 | DS |
42 | TJ Friedl | N | CIN | OF | Played up to potential, .888 OPS in 2nd half. Has 15/15 ability. | 3 | DS |
43 | Charlie Blackmon | N | COL | OF | EV continuing to crash, sub-.800 OPS at Coors. Horrible in the last two months. | 2 | |
44 | Lars Nootbaar | N | STL | OF | Strong EV, BA should have been slightly higher. Walk rate makes up for poor BA. Showing some power upside. | 3 | |
45 | Andrew McCutchen | N | PIT | OF | Worst power since 2010. Batted ball data looks good. No reason to give up if he gets another chance. | 4 | |
46 | Michael Brantley | A | HOU | OF | Major shoulder surgery, sub-11% K when healthy. HR still down. | 3 | |
47 | Masataka Yoshida | A | BOS | OF | | | |
48 | Oswaldo Cabrera | A | NYY | OF | Legit 20/20 upside, .803 OPS in September. | 3 | DS |

50 | Ramon Laureano | A | OAK | OF | Sprint speed in decline, terrible in second half. | 3 | |
51 | Myles Straw | A | CLE | OF | Minimal change in batted ball data. Hit .308 in September. Demotion to bottom of order is biggest issue. | 3 | |
52 | Anthony Santander | A | BAL | OF | Insane LA but batted ball data looks the same. 10 HR in September. | 2 | |
53 | Lourdes Gurriel Jr. | N | ARI | OF | Consistent improvement in K%. Had wrist and hamstring injuries. | 3 | |
54 | Randal Grichuk | N | COL | OF | Didn't hit RHP or on the road. Very risky if he's traded. | 2 | |
55 | Dylan Carlson | N | STL | OF | Strong contact improvement, but EV was awful. Only hit LHP, terrible in 2nd half with thumb. | 3 | |
56 | Austin Hays | A | BAL | OF | EV down but clearly hurt by park. Lousy second half. | 3 | |
57 | Brandon Nimmo | N | NYM | OF | Best K% of career. Hit leadoff. Healthy for first time since 2018. | 2 | |
58 | Michael Conforto | N | SFG | OF | Major shoulder surgery, has had a lot of time to recover. | 3 | |
59 | Bubba Thompson | A | TEX | OF | Insane speed. 31% K and bad EV. SB production hitting 9th, but job is shaky. | 3 | |
60 | Giancarlo Stanton | A | NYY | OF | 30% K for second time in career. Elite batted ball data like 2021. BA should bounce back a bit, and power safe if healthy. | 3 | |
61 | Joc Pederson | N | SFG | OF | Elite batted ball stats, sat more vs. LHP. Power outage in second half but OPS was better. | 3 | |
62 | Lane Thomas | N | WSN | OF | Production on par with previous but EV well down. | 3 | |
63 | Brandon Marsh | N | PHI | OF | Better with PHI but still 30% K. Has never shown big power or speed. | 3 | |
64 | Byron Buxton | A | MIN | OF | 30% K, super streaky. Elite EV, hip injury killed him. | 3 | |
65 | Cody Bellinger | N | CHC | OF | K% as bad as 2021. Ridiculous LA again. Did start to hit fastballs again. A flier. | 3 | |
66 | Akil Baddoo | A | DET | OF | Played regularly in September, power mostly disappeared. EV has been bad, 28% K. Just a flier. | 3 | |
67 | Nolan Jones | N | COL | OF | Overmatched but has pop and draws walks. Clear path to Abs. | 3 | DS |
68 | Josh Lowe | A | TBR | OF | Outstanding at AAA, .757 OPS in July. Has some post-hype appeal. | 3 | |
69 | Jesse Winker | N | MIL | OF | LA spike, EV tanked. Getting out of Cincinnati hurt. | 2 | |
70 | Drew Waters | A | KCR | OF | Very strong September. Didn't hit ball hard, but has pop and speed. | 3 | |
71 | Harrison Bader | A | NYY | OF | 5 HR in playoffs, EV and power well down in regular season. Expected HR about same at NYY as STL. | 3 | |

73 | Mark Canha | N | NYM | OF | Somewhat more aggressive, almost no upside. | 3 | |
74 | Tyrone Taylor | N | MIL | OF | Extreme LA, streaky and inconsistent. Has some slack for PT. | 3 | |
75 | Mike Yastrzemski | N | SFG | OF | All rates remain the same. Terrible in the second half, but BA could benefit from shift. | 3 | |
76 | Manuel Margot | A | TBR | OF | Speed in severe decline. Killing LHP. | 3 | |
77 | Austin Meadows | A | DET | OF | More injuries. | 3 | |
78 | Jurickson Profar | N | FA | OF | EV bounced back but nothing good. Stats inflated by 90 games in leadoff. | 2 | |
79 | Sean Bouchard | N | COL | OF | Very good home and road, breakout at AAA. Has shown legit pop. Very interesting with PT. | 4 | DS |
80 | AJ Pollock | A | SEA | OF | Only hit LHP but had good second half. Speed in steep decline. | 3 | |
81 | Kerry Carpenter | A | DET | OF | 28% K, poor defense, struggled in September. Just a stash. | 3 | |
82 | Leody Taveras | A | TEX | OF | K% improvement. Got hot in April and then regressed and was demoted to bottom of order. Only tools are speed and defense. | 2 | |
83 | Stone Garrett | N | WSN | OF | Very good EV, extreme LA. Super intriguing power but slowed down in September. | 3 | |
84 | Chris Taylor | N | LAD | OF | 35% K, knee and foot injuries. Power worst since 2016. Could be in big trouble. | 2 | |
85 | Nick Solak | N | CIN | OF | Good at AAA again, batted ball data not great. Excellent opportunity. | 3 | |
86 | Avisail Garcia | N | MIA | OF | Worst K% of career, still had strong EV. Not worth more than flier. | 3 | |
87 | Jack Suwinski | N | PIT | OF | Big power potential. 31% K and low Ba. Doesn't hit LHP at all. | 3 | |
88 | Will Brennan | A | CLE | OF | 9% K, nearly on par with minors. Minimal speed or power, but BA looks legitimate. | 4 | DS |
89 | Mitch Haniger | N | SFG | OF | Ankle and back injuries. EV was good. Buy for cheap. | 3 | |
90 | Yonathan Daza | N | COL | OF | Lousy EV but 14% K. The new Tapia with no speed. | 3 | |
91 | Jake Fraley | N | CIN | OF | Long injury history, but power looks legit. .903 OPS in 2nd half. | 4 | S |
92 | Trent Grisham | N | SDP | OF | K% spiked to 29%, LA was up. Clearly not a starter. | 2 | |
93 | Jarren Duran | A | BOS | OF | Still had good year at AAA. Chance to buy low but a doofus. | 3 | |
94 | Marcell Ozuna | N | ATL | OF | K% spike, EV way down since 2021. Barely played in second half. | 2 | |
95 | Jorge Soler | N | MIA | OF | K% up again, but still hit ball hard. Multiple time missed with back injury. Likely to bounce back. | 3 | |
96 | Oscar Colas | A | CHW | OF | | | |
97 | James Outman | N | LAD | OF | Breakout year with BA, has legit pop and speed. | 3 | |
98 | Edward Olivares | A | KCR | OF | EV way up, finally hitting but very injury prone. | 4 | |
99 | Alex Kirilloff | A | MIN | OF | EV down, more wrist problems. | 3 | |
100 | Gavin Sheets | A | CHW | OF | Horrible defense. .765 OPS in second half. Very fringy regular. | 3 | |

103 | Chas McCormick | A | HOU | OF | Showing solid pop, mostly smashes LHP. Better in second half. | 3 | |
104 | Enrique Hernandez | A | BOS | OF | EV way down, likely platoon player. | 3 | |
105 | Stuart Fairchild | N | CIN | OF | Interesting power and speed potential in CIN.. BA was a fluke. | 3 | DS |
106 | Victor Robles | N | WSN | OF | Still high LA and not hitting ball hard. Showing elite defense and good speed. Should continue playing. | 3 | |
107 | Kyle Stowers | A | BAL | OF | Very strong batted ball data. 30% K. Strong power potential, but might need time. | 3 | |
108 | Kyle Isbel | A | KCR | OF | Didn't do anything with regular playing time. Elite defense makes him a bit more interesting. | 3 | |
109 | Alex Call | N | WSN | OF | Played okay as a regular over last six weeks. Minimal upside but played well at AAA in 2022. | 3 | |
110 | Michael A. Taylor | A | KCR | OF | EV ranked for sake of contact. Could keep PT due to defense. | 2 | |
111 | Raimel Tapia | A | BOS | OF | Slight improvement in batted ball data. Speed in decline. | 2 | |
112 | Eddie Rosario | N | ATL | OF | Eye issue, K% skyrocket. Slightly better in September but still not good. Just a flier. | 2 | |
113 | Miguel Andujar | N | PIT | OF | Decent at AAA but not great. Played regularly and hit 3-5 for PIT. | 3 | DS |
114 | Jesus Sanchez | N | MIA | OF | Hit well at AAA again. Milb track record is mediocre. Very good September provides momentum. | 3 | |

119 | Kevin Kiermaier | A | TOR | OF | Still running well, but K% getting worse. | 2 | |
120 | Cal Mitchell | N | PIT | OF | Lacks plus ability, was okay as regular in September. | 3 | |

122 | Jarred Kelenic | A | SEA | OF | Still struggled in September but .713 OPS. Upside power but far too inconsistent. | 3 | |
123 | Tyler Naquin | N | FA | OF | LA was up. Bad defensively. | 3 | |

129 | Corey Dickerson | N | WAS | OF | Stats holding strong, hit well in second half. | 3 | |
