Dynasty: Shota Imanaga. The FanRanked staff dynasty board has Imanaga ahead, Imanaga #156 and Sloan #161, but the expert consensus has Sloan ahead (#112 to #203). The community rates them even, FRV 55.7 and 55.3.
JD on Ryan Sloan (Jul 3, 2026): For Sloan, his ranking has less to do with his skill set and more to do with how I value pitching prospects in dynasty leagues. My motto is “there is no such thing as a pitching prospect”, which is an exaggerated way to say that I would rather invest my prospect capital in a hitter because pitchers are so susceptible to injuries and their value evaporating before they have a chance to hit the big league level. Sloan is the #4 non-debuted SP (behind Hernandez, Anderson, and White) on my list, I would look at them that way rather than his ranking compared to all of the hitters and debuted pitchers overall. I’m very bullish on him long-term, but from a dynasty prospect perspective, pictures are hard to rank incredibly high.
