Top-10 Dynasty Baseball Outfielders for 2025: Juan Soto, Jackson Chourio, Ronald Acuna Jr., Yordan Alvarez, Aaron Judge and More

It’s time for another dynasty baseball top-10 list! After going over starting pitchers to kick off the series, we’ll move on to outfielders here.

Here are my top-10 rankings for redraft leagues: third basemen, first basemen, closers, designated hitters, second basemen, shortstops, outfielders, catchers and starting pitchers.

1. Juan Soto

Soto is the oldest player (just 26 years old) near the top of my list, but he’s simply that much better than the other options that he lands the No. 1 spot.

He’s delivered big numbers for the three teams he’s played with in his career, and should continue delivering with the Mets. I personally think the move from the Yankees to the Mets hurts Soto’s fantasy value a bit, but over time, the Mets will be able to build around him and maybe surround him with even more talent.

He signed a 15-year deal with New York, and while I don’t think he’ll remain an elite fantasy player for that entire contract, Soto is going to remain a good hitter for a long time, and that’s exactly what a dynasty owner is looking for.

2. Corbin Carroll

Carroll struggled a bit in his third MLB season (second full one) in 2024. He still got on base at a .322 clip, homered 22 times and drove in 74 runs, along with stealing 35 bases and scoring 121 runs. 

Fantasy owners would take that just about every year, and that’s what I see Carroll’s fantasy floor as going forward. He’s just 24 years old and has plenty of room to grow yet.

I think Carroll will use last season as a learning experience and be better in the long haul for it. Most people are down on Carroll, but I am not. He’s a player to build a dynasty team around, and it won’t cost you nearly as much as it would have before last season started - take advantage of things while his dynasty value is a bit down.

3. Julio Rodriguez

Rodriguez had a bit of a falloff in his third season, although he had nearly two full seasons of experience already. He had a .273 average, .325 OBP and 24 stolen bases, but had career lows in runs (76), home runs (20) and RBIs (68).

That’s still a pretty productive season, especially when you take into account Rodriguez is just 24 years old. I see him, and the rest of the Mariners’ lineup, bouncing back a bit starting in 2025, and then Seattle building around Rodriguez for years to come.

Like Carroll, Rodriguez should come a bit cheaper than he would have been at this time last year. Use that to your advantage and get one of the more promising young bats in the game on your dynasty squad.

4. Jackson Chourio

It was really hard to not rank Chourio any higher, but with just one season under his belt, that’s my justification of putting him fourth. He could be the No. 1 guy by the time the 2025 season wraps up.

Chourio started pretty slow in his rookie season before catching fire in early June. He ended up posting a .275 average, .327 OBP, 21 home runs, 79 RBIs, 22 stolen bases and scoring 80 runs.

He’s a player the Brewers are going to build around for years to come, and his well-rounded numbers are going to make him one of the top fantasy players in the game every season. As long as there isn’t a major dropoff in his numbers this coming season, Chourio will likely go into 2026 as the top fantasy outfielder (and maybe top player overall if he really takes off this season).

5. Fernando Tatis Jr.

Tatis really deserves to go higher, but after some injuries and shortened seasons, I can’t list him higher than this.

In 102 games last season, Tatis had a .276 average, .340 OBP, 21 homers, 49 RBIs, 11 stolen bases and 64 runs scored. He’s never played more than 141 games in a season, and that’s my biggest knock on him.

When on the field, Tatis is one of the best fantasy hitters in the game. I think a lot of dynasty owners are torn on Tatis’ value, so it’s worth checking in on him to see what his asking price might be.

6. Ronald Acuna Jr.

Acuna went into last season as the top dynasty player, but another knee injury has changed his long-term outlook in a lot of people’s eyes, including mine.

He played 156 games in 2019 and 159 in 2023, but hasn’t gone over 120 games in any other season. He’s actually only reached 100 games in two of the other four seasons (I’m not counting the COVID season in 2020).

I’m hoping Acuna can get back on track at some point. We’d love to see him get back to his 2023 self, but now after two major knee injuries, I wonder if we’ve already seen his best seasons. He’s another buy-low dynasty player, but there’s also a fair amount of risk with taking him on.

7. Jackson Merrill

Merrill was fantastic in his rookie season in 2024, and I think he was still underappreciated. He was a top-end prospect coming up through the minors, and at just 21 years old, the sky’s the limit for Merrill.

In 156 games last season, Merrill had a .292 average, .326 OBP, 24 homers, 90 RBI, 16 stolen bases and 77 runs scored. You might be wondering why he ranks below Chourio when he had better numbers - that’s because Chourio accomplished most of his numbers in the second half of the season, so I see his ceiling being higher.

It’s also possible that Merrill’s rookie season was just the start of things, and he’s able to not only build on it, but soar way past those totals for years to come. Merrill could move way up my list by the end of 2025.

8. Yordan Alvarez

Alvarez has been a very steady contributor over the past four seasons, and if he can keep putting in close to full seasons, those big numbers should continue for a while.

He’s been between 31-37 home runs and 86-104 RBIs over the past four seasons, despite only reaching 145 games once in that span. Alvarez has a good average, great OBP and doesn’t strike out all that much.

Somehow, he’s only 27 years old too, so he’s got a few more elite seasons in him before a dropoff comes probably. I only rank him a bit lower because of his missed games over the years.

9. Kyle Tucker

Tucker, Alvarez’s old teammate, comes in ninth on my list. He moved to the Cubs this offseason, which is a bit of a negative for his fantasy outlook, but Tucker is a good enough hitter to deliver wherever he is playing.

He only got in 78 games last season, but was at 140 or more in the previous three seasons. Tucker still had 23 homers last season, so it’s a shame his season was cut short.

I docked him a bit because of some inconsistencies in his average over the years, along with some guesses that his production will dip a bit now that he left Houston. He’s still a great fantasy player, and a great outfielder to build a dynasty team around.

10. Aaron Judge

It feels wrong to have Judge at No. 10, but he is 32 years old after all, so his career isn’t likely to outlast many of the players we’ve covered.

He’s dealt with some injuries over the years, but has played in 148 or more games in three of the past four campaigns. Judge has 196 home runs, 448 RBIs, 423 runs scored along with a .300 average and .418 OBP in that span.

I think he’s got a couple more big seasons in his bat before we think about a potential dropoff. I think as he ages, the average might dip, but I expect big homer and RBI numbers. That makes Judge a very good dynasty player despite being 32 years old.

Honorable Mentions

There’s so many great dynasty outfielders that it made coming up with a top-10 list extremely hard. So many good players missed out and I wanted to mention a few of them.

The guys closest to the top 10 for me are James Wood, Jarren Duran and Wyatt Langford.

Some other names who are either intriguing, or maybe could work their ways into the top 10 soon are: Roman Anthony, Walker Jenkins, Dylan Crews, Jasson Dominguez, Michael Harris II and Max Clark.
