Too close to call in dynasty or redraft. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Witt #2 and Caminero #3, and the expert consensus agrees (#3 and #4). The community leans Witt, FRV 100.3 to 84.4. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has them close, Witt #3 and Caminero #5, and the rest-of-season engine agrees ($47 and $41).
JD on Bobby Witt Jr. (Sep 24, 2026): If Bobby Witt Jr. was PCA's age, I think he'd be the #1 player for me. It's really that 2-year age gap (26 vs 24) that makes the 5th, 6th, and 7th years of this analysis lean in favor of PCA because he will still be in his prime while BWJ will be on his way out. It's hard to truly have a 7-year mindset when it comes to dynasty leagues, but that is the lens that I'm viewing these rankings through. I want to make sure that I start out these rankings as faithful to the rules as possible. As for BWJ's actual performance this year, he largely underwhelmed. Right? Or did he actually put together a pretty strong season all things considered? In a season, I think we'd all agree was the down season for him, he still had an OPS hovering around .800, stole 43 bases, and hit 18 home runs while only striking out 17% of the time (as of this writing on September 21st, would love to see him get to 20/40). Runs and RBIs are more of a function of the team rather than him, but he wasn't a negative in that department and was among the league leaders in runs at 87. The underlying savant metrics still back up his abilities at the plate, with a higher max EV than Junior Caminero and an average EV eclipsing mashers like J-Rod and Ben Rice. If this is what a down season looks like for BWJ, then you're establishing an incredibly high floor and should be able to rely on him for stats at least this good, with a ton of upside in 2027. He may not have as high a ceiling as PCA, but the floor is among the highest of anyone in baseball and I'm happy taking this profile with my second pick.
JD on Junior Caminero (Sep 24, 2026): I had to fight myself putting Junior Caminero first overall, but you can't put a guy who doesn't contribute in stolen bases first overall unfortunately. He is far and away my favorite bat in baseball and at only 23 years old I think he still has room for growth here. Something that doesn't necessarily concern me but that I wasn't really aware of is that his launch angle was only 9.9 for 2026. I feel like this means that there is, incredibly, actually more upside in the homerun department if he learns to lift some of these balls he's mashing into the ground or hitting for 115 mph singles. If I had to pick one player in the major leagues next year to bet on hitting 50 home runs, Junior Caminero is the easiest call out there. If he continues hitting the ball this hard, maintains a sub-20% K rate, and finds a little bit of a greater launch angle, stolen bases be damned it's going to be hard to not make him the #1 overall player in dynasty leagues when he's knocking on the door of 60 HRs.
