Top 100 FYPD Prospects for Fantasy Baseball First-Year Player Drafts (February 2024)

Yoshinobu Yamamoto - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

The final update of the First-Year Player Draft rankings is just in time for peak FYPD draft season. This update adds in a half-dozen signees from the January 15 international class along with updating the teams for a few former Japanese players who signed this offseason with an MLB club and a player who was traded this offseason.

With most FYPD drafts taking place over the next month, this can be a useful tool for all those who are headed into their offseason draft.

That should give everyone a complete list as fantasy baseball FYPD drafts hit their peak in February/March heading into the 2024 fantasy baseball season!

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball draft tools and resources:

Breaking Down the FYPD Rankings

Since Shota Imanaga signed with the Chicago Cubs, he's received high marks from his teammates and moved up this list:

Of the six players who signed on January 15 among the international teen prospects, the Padres' Leodalis De Vries is the highest-ranked player at 32. The other top-50 international signee, the Braves' Jose Perdomo, probably has the highest floor among those players, as much of a floor as any teenage international signee can truly have.
