THE DYNASTY GURU’S 2023 TOP 20 1B PROSPECTS, #1-10

Welcome back to our top 1B prospects, with the top half of an exciting group. There was a clear tier of three players at the top of the group, with discussion moving them in a different order but deciding to stick with the results of the rankings. There is lots of positional questions to ask about this group, as 1B is towards the bottom of the defensive spectrum and many of the bat-first players tend to gravitate there. Proximity seems to have taken precedence here, as six of the ten players on this list have already made their major league debut, or have reached AAA and are projected to make their debut in 2023. We hope you like the list but let us know your thoughts on Twitter or join our discord!
