2027 Fantasy Baseball Top 300: Elly De La Cruz, Pete Crow-Armstrong and Shohei Ohtani lead the way

Yahoo Sports has released its inaugural 2027 Fantasy Baseball Top 300 rankings, offering a preliminary snapshot of the league’s projected stars ahead of next season. The list is anchored by three elite talents: Elly De La Cruz (Cincinnati Reds, shortstop) and Pete Crow-Armstrong (Chicago Cubs, outfielder) top the overall rankings, while Shohei Ohtani (Los Angeles Dodgers, designated hitter) remains a dominant force in third place.

The rankings also spotlight emerging Japanese prospects Teruaki Sato (third baseman/outfielder) and Kaima Taira (starting pitcher), both expected to be posted this winter and poised to climb the list once they officially join MLB teams. Free agents and players with contract options are included without team assignments, reflecting the fluidity of the offseason landscape.

Notable climbers from the All-Star break rankings include Bobby Witt Jr. (Kansas City Royals) and Aaron Judge (New York Yankees), while established stars like Ronald Acuña Jr.

(Atlanta Braves) and Fernando Tatis Jr. (San Diego Padres) maintain their elite status.

The list also highlights rising pitchers like Tarik Skubal and Cristopher Sánchez, whose ascent underscores the depth of talent across both offense and pitching.
