Dynasty: too close to call. Redraft: Ronald Acuna Jr. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has them nearly level, Acuna #25 and Burns #26, and the expert consensus agrees (#24 and #23). The community leans Acuna, FRV 87.3 to 70.3. For 2026 redraft, the consensus has Acuna ahead, #26 to #61.
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 Ronald Acuna Jr. (May 27, 2026): I'm not sure what to think of Acuna. We know that there's a 40-70 season potential in there but I think those days are past him with his knee injuries. The weirdest thing about that season was the insane batted ball profile and K-rate he was able to maintain that's seemingly anomalous at this point. I think there are people out here who will treat him like a top 10 player and if you happen to have him and there's someone out here willing to make a trade for him like he's a top 10 player, then I would be willing to move on from him. I think those days are behind him and can't bank on him in the future for anything other than solid contributions across the board and topping at maaaaaybe 30 home runs a year.
