Top 100 fantasy baseball prospects for 2027
Kade Anderson (SEA, P, 22) tops our 2027 prospect list, ahead of Brandon Compton and Christian Zazueta. Every prospect here is still a rookie for 2027 by MLB's at-bat and innings limits and is 25 or younger next July. The order is what they did in 2026: a hitter's OPS and a pitcher's strikeout rate minus walk rate against the average at his level, plus credit for being young for it. Scouting grades are not part of it. The St. Louis Cardinals have the most on the list, 11.

How the list is built
The vs level column is production against the level's average, where 100 is average: OPS for hitters, strikeout rate minus walk rate for pitchers. Each prospect is scored on that, plus four points for every year younger than the level's average age, plus five for doing it at Triple-A. Hitters need 150 plate appearances and pitchers 40 innings at their highest level. Lines come from MLB's Stats API. For the players already in the majors, see the dynasty rankings.
