Dynasty: Cristopher Sanchez. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Sanchez ahead, Sanchez #21 and Burns #26, but the expert consensus has Burns ahead (#24 to #25). The community agrees too, FRV 75.6 to 70.3.
JD on Chase Burns (May 27, 2026): This is an example of someone who I haven't fully bought into this stuff yet even though his metrics are obviously off the charts. As a side note think about how crazy it is that Chase Burns averages 98 mph on his fastball and that's still two full ticks below Misiorowski's fastball average. The stuff is obviously incredible but when there's another young pitcher out there eclipsing him by two full miles per hour, he's going to have to take a backseat to him for the time being. The command is average but the stuff is exceptional and you can bet on exceptional stuff all day. The only other knock on him is that pitching at Cincinnati might lead to a little bit tougher of an offensive environment than you typically see for a player's home ballpark but not something I'm willing to adjust the rankings for.
JD on Cristopher Sanchez (Jul 15, 2026): Alright, as hot as Cris Sanchez was during the 50+ scoreless inning streak is as cold as he seems to be now. During the ASG you could clearly tell what was wrong, he would get ahead of guys quickly with great stuff and then he would start trying to get cute with his CH and kept missing armside because he wasn't finishing off the pitch. When Sanchez is dominating he is just letting his stuff play and K's come naturally, rather than trying to force the issue and leading to mechanical breakdowns. All this being said, I think it's time I back off of my #1 overall SP call and turn over the throne to it's rightful owner, the Mis.
