JD on Jacob Misiorowski (Oct 2, 2026): Miz is very clearly the best pitcher available in dynasty leagues. He led baseball in ERA, WHIP, strikeouts, and WAR, and he led in FIP, xFIP, and SIERA behind them, so there is no "wait for the regression" argument here. He is the only starter in the game averaging over 100 on the fastball. He struck out 38 percent of the hitters he faced, three points clear of anyone else, and he did it while cutting his walk rate in half from 2025. Schlittler had a great year and still trails him in every rate stat. So the question to me isn't where he ranks among pitchers. It's whether you take him in the first round of a dynasty league at all, and what a pitcher is worth compared to a hitter. A couple of thoughts. Pitchers are far more volatile year to year than hitters, not so much from performance as from injury. With the velocity in the league now, every pitcher is one pitch away from a 12 to 18 month shutdown for major surgery. That threat just doesn't hang over hitters the same way. It makes me wonder what the number one pitcher is really worth next to the number one hitter. In this case there are 12 to 14 bats I'd take before pitching needs to come off the board. In a 12-team dynasty league, I think every first-round pick should be a hitter, and I think that's true no matter who the top pitcher is in a given year. A guy like Miz returns insane value while he's healthy. The second he gets hurt, all the capital you tied up in one player evaporates. A hitter is much less likely to get hurt, and when one does, the value doesn't erode the same way. As for Miz himself, he has clearly separated from everyone else. Schlittler is the only arm who compares on value, but Miz is younger, has better stuff, and doesn't drift into stretches of mediocrity the way Schlittler does when his mechanics get out of sync. If you have Miz, congratulations. Ride him while you can. Just be careful with pitching in general when it comes to dynasty leagues.
JD on Juan Soto (Sep 24, 2026): Juan Soto is a generational talent and while I don't want to say he has been underestimated when it comes to how valuable he has been, I think it's worth just putting some of his performance into context through his age-27 season. Some of my favorite stats: -.945 career OPS His lowest season in wRC+ was 143, meaning in his worst season he has 43% better than league average. Among hitters with 7+ full seasons through age 27, Soto's worst is .389 (2026), which ranks 4th all-time. Only Joe Kelley (.398), Pujols (.394) and Mantle (.390) had a higher floor. -9th all time in HR's through age 27 (270) He has never had a BB% below 15.9% in the big leagues for a full season. He has never had a K% greater than 20% in the big leagues. He has walked more than he has struck out in his career. He has never had a month in his career where his xwOBA was lower than .350 (I didn't believe this one either you have to check this out). Soto is clearly a generational talent and his ranking here reflects more his position on the aging curve rather than his talent. If he was 24 or 25 years old, he would be in consideration for number 1 for me. Unfortunately, I don't think he will age that gracefully, as he's starting to get a little thick and I don't think he can stay this elite forever. I still think there will be a very great 3- to 4-year period where you can ride his generational talent until it becomes clear he is not the same player he once was. In OBP leagues he's still a top-five asset for me.
