Dax Kilby

19-Year-Old ShortstopSS
New York Yankees A
2026 Fantasy Outlook
Kilby didn't come off the board until the 39th pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, but his pro debut was impressive enough that he'll be a first rounder in dynasty FYPDs. The 6-foot-2, 190-pound Kilby has an uber-projectable frame and elite athleticism. He had a 159 wRC+, 108.9 mph max EV, 16 steals on 17 attempts and a 4.5 percent swinging-strike rate in 18 games at Single-A as an 18-year-old. Kilby hit too many balls on the ground (54.4 GB%) and didn't hit a home run, but his size and exit velocities portend plus raw power at peak. His hit tool and speed on the bases each look like potentially special fantasy traits, so he doesn't need to max out as a power hitter to be a strong use of a first-round FYPD pick. The lefty-hitting Kilby doesn't get rave reviews for his arm, which would be the one reason he might move to second base or center field down the road. Read Past Outlooks
