Welcome to the Rotowire Prospect Podcast. I'm your host, James Anderson, and the top 400

prospect rankings were updated Friday. So as always, this prospect podcast will feature your

questions about the update. I just want to say first, thank you to everyone who subscribes to

Rotowire for the prospect rankings. And thank you to everyone who asked a question.

I'm usually really impressed at how smart your questions are and how civil everyone is, even if it's something you disagree with me about.

So thanks for that. And whether you asked a question on Discord, Twitter, or Blue Sky, thanks again

for those great questions this week. Use the code YouTube 15. If you want 15% off a

rotor subscription, if you want to check out that updated top 400 prospect rankings, the team

top 20s got a huge facelift as well obviously those are updated to reflect the top 400

but I've also backfilled you know a lot of those top 20s with players who have increased their

their stock or recent 2025 draftees who didn't make the top 400 so check those out and make

sure you're using the the great for the top 400, sync your leagues

so you can easily see the best prospects available. And then my new favorite tool,

especially this time of year, you can isolate the first year player draft players if you

just want to see first year player draft players from the 2025 draft. But more likely, I'm guessing a lot of you guys are going to want to exclude the 2025

first year player draft players when you're looking to add prospects in season.

So that new tool is available up on the top left of the top 400 prospect rankings.

But let's just get right to your questions now.

First one from TN, he asks, are these rankings based more off the potential for real life

impact or fantasy impact? These are obviously intended for dynasty leagues. The biggest

difference between these fantasy rankings and real-life rankings is that you'll see

catchers and starting pitchers typically pushed higher on real-life lists.
