Joshua Baez (OF - STL)
8/21/26 10:01 AM - Joshua Baez: Up-And-Coming Dynasty Player. Every dynasty league has it's own rules and roster system, so many of the top prospects in baseball are already snatched and rostered when they reach the majors. But that doesn't take the fun out of seeing some of the top young players in the game make it to The Show, because for dynasty players, it means a past investment in a player could finally be paying off. One of those top young players we have all been following is Joshua Baez of the St. Louis Cardinals. Perhaps no prospect has raised their stock more than Baez this season. An athletic player who has shown great power potential, Baez put everything together this season and forced the Cardinals to promote him last week and insert him into the lineup. Let's take a look at Baez and why he is an up-and-coming dynasty player.
