It’s prospect time. How many do you want to hear about? 15? 50? 250?

Fantasy Baseball: Prime 100 prospects for 2025, led by Roki Sasaki, Roman Anthony and Matt Shaw

It is prospect time.

What number of do you need to hear about? 15? 50? 250? Actually, any minor-leaguer who would nonetheless qualify as a major-league rookie meets the definition of “prospect,” so that you may say the perfect method is to discover a pure cutoff that leaves little room to dispute who’s in and who’s out. However as a substitute, I am sticking to the business commonplace. I am holding it 100.

So how do I’m going about choosing these 100? As you’ve got most likely surmised from the headline, this explicit rank record is geared towards Fantasy Baseball, that means protection solely issues to the extent it may affect taking part in time and pitchers and catchers are of much less curiosity general. I additionally have a tendency to offer precedence to these nearer to contributing, notably towards the top of the record when there are nonetheless a number of dozen names to slim down. Name me loopy, however I might relatively hear a few man competing for a beginning second base job than some 17-year-old lottery ticket who could also be lengthy forgotten a 12 months from now.

However after all, expertise trumps all different issues in these situations the place the expertise is obvious. Dynasty Leagues are all the craze lately, and this rank record is primarily a Dynasty (relatively than redraft) useful resource.

Although I might argue that anybody with an curiosity in baseball ought to at the least have a passing curiosity.

1. Roki Sasaki, SP, Dodgers

Age (on opening day): 23
The place he performed in 2024: Japan
NPB stats: 10-5, 2.35 ERA, 1.04 WHIP, 111 IP, 32 BB, 129 Okay
Sasaki is not arriving because the completed product Yoshinobu Yamamoto was, however at 23, that is to be anticipated. He was regarded as a prodigy in Japan, reaching triple digits along with his fastball whereas dominating with what will be the world’s greatest splitter, a real 80 grade providing that simply vanishes as it crosses the plate. Whereas it is attainable to overrate him in redraft leagues, that is much less the case in Dynasty.

Anthony’s massive power display on the first annual Futures Abilities Showcase final summer season was a coronation of kinds, bringing to fruition all of the optimism generated by his exit velocity readings, and he adopted by by hitting .353 with eight homers and a 1.022 OPS in 52 video games thereafter. A discount in strikeout charge coincided with this breakthrough, solely additional bolstering his declare as the highest hitting prospect in baseball.

The place he performed in 2024: Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: .284 BA (443 AB), 21 HR, 31 SB, .867 OPS, 62 BB, 95 Okay
After overcoming a gradual begin final 12 months to hit .318 with 18 homers, 21 steals and a .959 OPS in his last 80 video games, Shaw is now set to take over because the Cubs’ third baseman, a transfer precipitated by the inclusion of Isaac Paredes within the Kyle Tucker deal.

Minor-league stats: .330 BA (430 AB), 20 HR, 24 SB, .997 OPS, 74 BB, 103 Okay
Campbell confirmed some hitterish qualities at Georgia Tech, convincing the Pink Sox to take him with a fourth-round choose in 2023, nevertheless it’s the work they’ve put in since then — including bat pace and, with it, energy — that is turned him into an absolute masher. His fast ascent final 12 months has him respiratory down the neck of different younger infield/outfield choices like Vaughn Grissom, Ceddanne Rafaela and Wilyer Abreu, and he figures to blow previous all of them before later.

5. Dylan Crews, OF, Nationals

Age (on opening day): 23
The place he performed in 2024: Double-A, Triple-A, majors
Minor-league stats: .270 BA (397 AB), 13 HR, 25 SB, .792 OPS, 36 BB, 92 Okay
Main-league stats: .219 BA (119 AB), 3 HR, 12 SB, .641 OPS, 11 BB, 26 Okay
The second choose within the 2023 draft was presumed to be on the quick monitor, and the Nationals determined they did not want to attend for his manufacturing to catch as much as his favorable exit velocities and plate self-discipline readings, introducing him as their proper fielder in late August. If nothing else, that late-season stint confirmed us Crews is not shy about stealing bases, which ought to hold him usable at the same time as he works to optimize the angles the ball takes off his bat.

6. Jasson Dominguez, OF, Yankees

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Low-A, Double-A, Triple-A, majors
Minor-league stats: .314 BA (226 AB), 11 HR, 16 SB, .880 OPS, 22 BB, 50 Okay
Main-league stats: .179 BA (56 AB), 2 HR, 5 SB, .617 OPS, 11 BB, 19 Okay
Dominguez’s return to the majors late final season was a far cry from his 2023 debut, which can come as a priority on condition that he had Tommy John surgical procedure in between, however his time within the minors confirmed he is no worse for put on. He nonetheless shined in each respect there, delivering his standard energy and pace, and seeing because the Yankees have freed up left discipline for him, they need to belief him to make the remaining changes within the majors.

7. Walker Jenkins, OF, Twins

Age (on opening day): 20
The place he performed in 2024: Rookie, Low-A, Excessive-A, Double-A
Minor-league stats: .282 BA (305 AB), 6 HR, 17 SB, .833 OPS, 56 BB, 47 Okay
The facility manufacturing for Jenkins hasn’t measured as much as the hype but, however the truth he made it to Double-A at 19 — throughout an injury-plagued season, no much less — tells you simply how superior his method is. Projectability is an enormous a part of the equation right here, with Jenkins’ picture-perfect left-handed swing and athletic 6-foot-3 body pointing to appreciable injury in his future, which, mixed with beforehand acknowledged method, would make for a celebrity end result.

8. Andrew Painter, SP, Phillies

Age (on opening day): 21
The place he performed in 2024: didn’t play — Tommy John surgical procedure
2022 stats (minors): 6-2, 1.56 ERA, 0.89 WHIP, 103 2/3 IP, 25 BB, 155 Okay
Painter had one of many all-time nice minor-league pitching seasons in 2022, positioning himself to win a spot within the Phillies rotation as a 19-year-old earlier than Tommy John got here to name. His return got here this offseason within the Arizona Fall League, which he dominated to the tune of a 2.30 ERA, 0.89 WHIP and 10.3 Okay/9 throughout six begins, providing hope that he can choose up the place he left off as soon as the Phillies fireplace him up in June (as is their reported plan).

9. Jackson Jobe, SP, Tigers

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A, Double-A, Triple-A, majors
Minor-league stats: 5-3, 2.36 ERA, 1.12 WHIP, 91 2/3 IP, 45 BB, 96 Okay
Main-league stats: 4 IP, 1 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 2 Okay
By the sum of his elements, Jobe is the mannequin pitching prospect, standing out most for the the unbelievable spin charges on his pitches — 4 of which grade as 60 or higher, in accordance with Baseball America. However he is struggled to remain wholesome for the reason that Tigers picked him third general in 2021, having but to throw even 100 innings in a season, and likewise underwhelmed along with his strikeout and stroll numbers previous to his promotion final 12 months.

10. Jordan Lawlar, SS, Diamondbacks

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Rookie, Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: .318 BA (85 AB), 2 HR, 6 SB, .900 OPS, 14 BB, 23 Okay 
The prospect fatigue has begun to set in for Lawlar, who seemed to be on the verge of changing into the Diamondbacks shortstop two years in the past and absolutely could be by now if thumb surgical procedure hadn’t value him most of 2024. He confirmed his standard plate self-discipline and base-stealing prowess upon returning, however there’s nonetheless a query as to how a lot batting common he’ll present on condition that his energy is dependent upon him elevating constantly to his pull facet.

11. Coby Mayo, 3B, Orioles

Age (on opening day): 23
The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A, Triple-A majors
Minor-league stats: .293 BA (358 AB), 25 HR, .964 OPS, 42 BB, 102 Okay
Main-league stats: .098 BA (41 AB), 0 HR, 4 BB, 22 Okay
Like teammate Jackson Holliday, who’s now not eligible for prospect rank lists, Mayo’s major-league debut was so depressing that it may’t assist however raises considerations about his future, so the actual fact he nonetheless ranks this excessive ought to inform you how particular his energy is. Pete Alonso looks as if a sensible comp, proper all the way down to forecasting Mayo’s eventual transfer to first base. I will word, although, {that a} right-handed hitter with such restricted defensive utility has a brief leash offensively.

12. Marcelo Mayer, SS, Pink Sox

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Double-A
Minor-league stats: .307 BA (300 AB), 8 HR, 13 SB, .850 OPS, 30 BB, 66 Okay
Between a shoulder impingement in 2023 and a lumbar pressure in 2024, Mayer’s numbers the previous couple years have left Dynasty leaguers wanting. However throughout that point, he is added exit velocity whereas decreasing strikeouts, persevering with to earn excessive marks from evaluators. He is shaping as much as have a hit-over-power profile, which lends itself to Bo Bichette and Xander Bogaerts comps (as an instance the pre-2024 model of each).

13. Travis Bazzana, 2B, Guardians

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A
Minor-league stats: .238 BA (101 AB), 3 HR, 5 SB, .765 OPS, 17 BB, 31 Okay
Bazzana’s skilled debut wasn’t a flawless one, however the profile stays near-flawless for the highest choose within the 2024 draft, highlighted by sturdy swing selections, plus exit velocities and opportunistic baserunning. The choice to maneuver on from Andres Gimenez this offseason would appear to counsel that the Guardians count on Bazzana to take flight this 12 months, and it would not be the shock of all shocks if he made a push in spring coaching.

14. JJ Wetherholt, SS, Cardinals

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Low-A
Minor-league stats: .295 BA (105 AB), 2 HR, 2 SB, .805 OPS, 16 BB, 15 Okay
A few hamstring accidents allowed Wetherholt to slide to the Cardinals at Choose 7 final 12 months, however it is a No. 1 general sort of profile with a very excessive ground attributable to his skill to work the rely and ship on all pitch varieties. He is a little bit reverse field-minded and confirmed hesitance as a base-stealer following his hamstring accidents, calling into query his eventual residence run and stolen base output, however he is tooled up sufficient to ship plus quantities of each.

15. Samuel Basallo, C, Orioles

Age (on opening day): 20
The place he performed in 2024: Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: .278 BA (479 AB), 19 HR, 10 SB, .790 OPS, 46 BB, 112 Okay
Basallo’s 2024 was a step again from his large 2023 that noticed him slash .313/.402/.551 throughout three ranges, however the contact high quality was nonetheless exemplary for a 19-year-old, permitting him to ascend to Triple-A by season’s finish. His bat is forward of his glove, which can be for the perfect since he is not displacing Adley Rutschman behind the plate. Catcher isn’t any place to place a Yordan Alvarez-caliber masher anyway.

16. Emmanuel Rodriguez, OF, Twins

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Rookie, Low-A, Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: .280 BA (157 AB), 9 HR, 9 SB, 1.026 OPS, 51 BB, 62 Okay
Rodriguez’s strikeout charge has at all times been dangerously excessive, nevertheless it’s much less a results of him chasing than by no means chasing, unwilling to swing at something he cannot throttle. Happily, he throttles the ball usually sufficient that his manufacturing has held regular as he is moved up the ladder, relieving considerations that his method will falter in opposition to extra superior pitching. The on-base abilities (a .422 mark for his complete profession) give him a better margin for error as effectively.

17. Colt Emerson, SS, Mariners

Age (on opening day): 19
The place he performed in 2024: Rookie, Low-A, Excessive-A
Minor-league stats: .263 BA (274 AB), 4 HR, 15 SB, .769 OPS, 50 BB, 58 Okay
At this stage of growth, Emerson stands out most for his secondary traits (i.e., pitch choice, contact high quality and general baseball instincts), that are the toughest to show, and that is why evaluators stay so excessive on him regardless of the ho-hum manufacturing. It is a profile much like the one Corey Seager offered as a youngster, and the hope is that Emerson has an analogous breakthrough within the excessive minors.

18. Noah Schultz, SP, White Sox

Age (on opening day): 21
The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A, Double-A
Minor-league stats: 0-4, 2.24 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, 88 1/3 IP, 24 BB, 115 Okay
Anytime a tall (on this case, 6-foot-9) and lanky left-hander makes his manner by the White Sox system, he is certain to ask Chris Sale comparisons, however that comparability could also be notably apt on this occasion since Schultz throws from a low three-quarters supply and has management that is nearly too good to consider. If the misleading arm angle wasn’t devastating sufficient, he added a pair miles per hour to each his fastball and slider in 2024.

19. Leo De Vries, SS, Padres

Age (on opening day): 18
The place he performed in 2024: Low-A
Minor-league stats: .238 BA (299 AB), 11 HR, 13 SB, .803 OPS, 50 BB, 84 Okay
No group promotes their high prospects extra aggressively than the Padres, they usually did not make an exception for the highest worldwide signee of 2024, having De Vries spend a full 12 months at full-season ball on the ripe previous age of 17. And whereas it was a wrestle at first, he went on to slash .285/.407/.599 with 10 homers and 7 steals in his last 34 video games at Low-A, confirming his five-category potential and beyond-his-years method.

The place he performed in 2024: Low-A, Double-A
Minor-league stats: .368 BA (38 AB), 4 HR, 1.283 OPS, 12 BB, 10 Okay
Along with his imposing 6-foot-5 presence within the left-handed batter’s field, Kurtz invitations comparisons to a primary baseman from the Athletics’ not-so-distant previous, present Courageous Matt Olson. It isn’t simply in stature, thoughts you. His energy comes naturally, taking part in to all fields relatively than relying on him lofting the ball to his pull facet, which ought to permit for an enormous residence run complete with out compromising his batting common potential. He’ll attain base lots by means of walks a effectively.

The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A
Minor-league stats: .180 BA (100 AB), 1 HR, 4 SB, .518 OPS, 4 BB, 34 Okay
Condon and Travis Bazzana had been thought of close to equals for Fantasy popping out of the 2024 draft, however you possibly can see that Condon is now fourth amongst draftees following a disastrous debut that noticed him strike out 9 occasions as usually as he walked. He was apparently coping with a hand harm, although, and deserves the good thing about the doubt anyway on condition that he was a slugger of historic proportions in school. His knack for hitting straight stuff ought to play notably effectively at a venue infamous for flattening breaking balls.

Minor-league stats: 268 BA (385 AB), 10 HR, 27 SB, .809 OPS, 84 BB, 95 Okay
Some evaluators will ding De Paula for his flat swing and suboptimal spray angle, however what he is achieved as a youngster is unbelievable. He did not simply take to Excessive-A final 12 months however did so with 50 walks vs. 38 strikeouts, demonstrating each superlative plate self-discipline and likewise particular exit velocities for a participant his age. He may “miss” in the best way Jason Heyward did, I suppose, however the upside is gigantic.

A bodily specimen who managed to carry his personal in opposition to a lot older competitors final season, Walcott has an uphill battle with regard to pitch recognition that will come to a head as he enters the higher minors this 12 months. However I’ve underrated prospects like Elly De La Cruz and Jazz Chisholm for a similar causes and am loath to repeat the error for a participant who the true expertise evaluators appear to agree is a stud-in-waiting.

The place he performed in 2024: Dominican Summer season League
Minor-league stats: .331 BA (175 AB), 6 HR, 28 SB, 1.013 OPS, 39 BB, 28 Okay
If Leo De Vries was the crown jewel of the 2024 worldwide class, Made was the hidden gem, inviting comparisons to current Brewers grad Jackson Chourio after simply 51 video games within the lowest ranges of the minors. He frequently hits the ball tougher than 100 mph, with a peak of 109, and likewise does not chase pitches such as you’d count on for somebody along with his inexperience, two traits that might put him on a best-prospect-in-baseball trajectory.

Minor-league stats: 10-7, 3.08 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, 119 2/3 IP, 41 BB, 148 Okay
The molding of Chandler right into a frontline starter has been yeoman’s work for the Pirates, who drafted him as a two-way participant in 2021, nevertheless it’s on the cusp of paying off after a 12 months wherein he improved as a strike-thrower and fleshed out his arsenal with a ready-for-prime-time changeup and slider. Chandler figures to observe within the footsteps of Paul Skenes and Jared Jones this 12 months, and my guess is he lands someplace between the 2 when it comes to effectiveness.

Minor-league stats: 8-5, 2.76 ERA, 0.98 WHIP, 143 1/3 IP, 49 BB, 202 Okay
Billed as a control-and-command lefty popping out of school, Mathews added 3-4 mph to his already analytically-friendly fastball previous to his 2024 debut, and it was sufficient to vault him into the elite tier of pitching prospects. He breezed by three ranges earlier than lastly stumbling on the fourth, ending with 28 extra strikeouts than another minor-leaguer whereas frequently working deep into video games.

The place he performed in 2024: Low-A, Excessive-A
Minor-league stats: .309 BA (272 AB), 5 HR, 22 SB, .853 OPS, 46 BB, 28 Okay
That 10 spots separates McGonigle from Colt Emerson in these rankings says extra about flimsiness of rankings than the daylight between the 2 gamers. Each stand out most for his or her hit device (although McGonigle maybe a little bit extra on condition that he had 46 walks to only 28 strikeouts) however have but to stay as much as their energy projections, which is not truly an issue at their present stage of growth. Emerson is a 12 months youthful and, thus, has extra time, however McGonigle figures to be the higher base-stealer, maybe considerably so.

Minor-league stats: .292 BA (446 AB), 23 HR, .890 OPS, 59 BB, 132 Okay
Aaron Judge ushered in an period of 6-foot-7 mashers, and whereas any prospect of that top is inevitably in comparison with the OG, Eldridge has a greater likelihood than most of delivering league-leading residence run totals, reaching the kind of exit velocities that propelled him to Triple-A at age 19. He additionally strikes out at a manageable charge and usually retains the ball off the bottom, avoiding probably the most remark pitfalls for prospects of his ilk.

The place he performed in 2024: didn’t play — workload administration
The second general choose in final 12 months’s draft is kind of the mannequin energy pitcher, cranking his fastball as much as 100 mph and ending off hitters with a biting slider. Some may say the previous performs down attributable to its suboptimal form, however comparable claims for Paul Skenes final 12 months proved to be a pink herring. Baseball America awards each the fastball and slider a 70 grade, and Burns has different choices to go together with them, probably placing him on the quick monitor.

There’s little doubting Montes’ skill to affect a baseball, however connecting has been extra of a problem and have become a renewed concern along with his midseason transfer as much as Excessive-A, the place he struck out 30 p.c of the time. Comparisons to Yordan Alvarez, a fellow Cuban expatriate of comparable construct who labored with the identical hitting teacher within the Dominican Republic, are too handy and doubtless too beneficiant, however Montes suits the mould of a traditional slugger.

There may be no speeding Dashing, not with Will Smith entrenched behind the plate for the Dodgers, and notably, the crew started experimenting with the previous second-rounder in left discipline late final season. A hybrid position, very similar to Daulton Varsho needed to start his profession, could also be within the offing except Dashing is traded first, which could be the best state of affairs for Fantasy given Dashing’s obvious readiness and the Dodgers’ growing reliance on veteran expertise.

Clark’s prospect stature exceeds his utility considerably, bolstered by his social media presence, high-effort type of play, and the inconvenient proven fact that the Tigers drafted him forward of each Wyatt Langford and Walker Jenkins. His real-life ground is excessive attributable to his sturdy method on the plate and plus protection in heart discipline, however he could grow to be a speedier Andrew Benintendi for Fantasy if he does not be taught to leverage his swing for extra energy.

The fifth choose in final 12 months’s draft provides the White Sox kind of a Mini-Me of Noah Schultz, standing “solely” 6-foot-3 but additionally overwhelming hitters along with his fastball and slider from an nearly sidearm left-handed supply. Low launch factors are all the craze because of the optimum method angle they create on the fastball, which, in Smith’s case, approaches triple digits. He is not as standard as fellow 2025 first-rounder Chase Burns however could grow to be higher.

Main-league stats: 0-2, 3.86 ERA, 1.54 WHIP, 11 2/3 IP, 6 BB, 14 Okay
Rocker returned from Tommy John surgical procedure final season with a 71 p.c strike charge and 23 p.c swinging-strike charge throughout 10 minor-league appearances — cartoonish numbers backed up by a equally cartoonish slider. The pitch is a real motion marvel assured to embarrass hitters who supply at it, however as we noticed throughout his late-season trial final 12 months, major-leaguers shortly realized to not supply.

DeLauter almost pressured his manner onto the opening day roster final spring however then wound up lacking two-thirds of the season after breaking the identical foot that is already been operated on twice — a saga that is begun to rival the one regarding Alex Kirilloff’s wrist (which did not finish effectively).

Hope’s title first popped up on the Fantasy prospect radar when the Dodgers nabbed him within the Michael Busch deal, however for all of their developmental successes, no one imagined they might unlock a lot upside so quickly. Hope all of a sudden turned extra decisive along with his swing, revealing large energy upside in a manner that did not compromise his pure plate self-discipline.

The helium from Williams’ spectacular 2023 season is out of the balloon following an injury-marred 2024 wherein he hardly produced when wholesome, however the general bundle stays enticing in a novel kind of manner. Williams squeezes all the ability he can out of his 5-foot-6 body with optimum pull and carry tendencies, an method he could must reasonable for the sake of his batting common, however wherever that tradeoff settles, he’ll get on base a ton and run wild as soon as there.

Should you’re questioning why so low for Williams, it is as a result of protection drives a lot of his real-life worth however does little for Fantasy apart from be sure that he’ll play. He has just one pace as a hitter — swing exhausting and hope to attach — which places final 12 months’s .256 batting common towards the higher finish of projected outcomes.

Sproat received a impolite awakening at Triple-A, however previous to it, he had a 2.05 ERA, 0.94 WHIP and 11.3 Okay/9 in 17 appearances, making him one of many breakout pitching prospects of 2024. Whereas he can attain triple digits along with his fastball, it exists largely to arrange a deep secondary arsenal highlighted by a changeup and sweeper.

Keaschall’s domination throughout two ranges final 12 months is all of the extra spectacular when you take into account he was taking part in by an elbow harm that finally resulted in Tommy John surgical procedure. It is of little long-term consequence, although, and will solely serve to constrain the prospect standing of a participant who grades out as a few B in every little thing, his middling uncooked energy bolstered by his knack for elevating to his pull facet.

For the sort of exit velocities Caglianone generates — and we’re speaking on the extent of Oneil Cruz — he is surprisingly good at making contact, maybe too good since he is usually fishing for pitches that may solely result in poor batted-ball outcomes, specifically on the bottom. The trail to greatness, then, is clear (cease chasing!) however simpler stated than carried out and much from a certainty for a participant who’s already up to now alongside developmentally.

Miller’s triumphs in 2024 had been that he made it to Double-A only a few months after turning 20 and that he proved he may maintain his personal at shortstop. His so-so manufacturing owes partially to an unfriendly venue for the reason that underlying numbers (specifically the exit velocities and pull tendencies) nonetheless trace of plus energy.

Amador was batting .194 on June 9, and but the Rockies known as him up anyway, condemning him to a depressing debut that is solely served to tarnish his prospect shine. Seems the bat-to-ball standout simply wanted a while to regulate to upper-level pitching, although, as a result of he went on to hit .293 (43 for 147) with seven homers, 10 steals and a .872 OPS in his last 37 video games at Double-A

Teel could not strike you as a Fantasy darling as a result of he is missing a standout device, however the bar is so low at catcher that chasing the celebrity end result is commonly a waste of time and assets. Teel is so stable in each respect, together with protection and bat management, that I may see him changing into a Fantasy standout attributable to sheer competence, mainly following the J.T.

A giant riser in his last 12 months of school, Smith continued to soar in his professional debut, outperforming each different 2024 draft choose to grow to be the important thing piece within the Kyle Tucker deal. A quieter setup helped him reduce down on strikeouts, giving him the look of a batting common standout who makes loud contact to all fields.

Isaac misplaced some momentum as a prospect final season, his strikeout charge spiking to harmful ranges (30.1 p.c) at Excessive-A and laughable ones (40.6 p.c) throughout a 31-game keep at Double-A.

White’s stuff alone would make him a top quality pitching prospect, his sweeping slider and bettering changeup meshing effectively along with his good-enough fastball, however the arsenal performs up additional due to an unorthodox delivery that is harking back to Rich Hill. His season took off after his transfer as much as Excessive-A, the place he had a 2.61 ERA, 1.16 WHIP and 11.0 Okay/9 in 13 begins.

Prospect fans will word that I’ve enormously downgraded Dollander, a top-five pitching expertise by most accounts, due to the place he figures to play his residence video games — and it will not be sufficient on condition that Rockies pitchers by no means quantity to something for Fantasy. The important thing to Dollander’s success, although, is that his fastball’s low launch top and distinctive carry make it an elite swing-and-miss providing.

As a result of the Pirates elected to not give Griffin a fast cameo within the minors after drafting him ninth general, we will solely draw from his highschool accomplishments, which isn’t an advisable strategy to consider prospects. However hey, he stole 85 bases in his senior 12 months and definitely seems to be imposing at 6-feet-4, lending credence (nonetheless flimsily) to Baseball America’s declare that he is a “device shed” with “a freakish mixture of dimension, pace and explosiveness.”

Few minor-leaguers hit the ball tougher than Caissie, which has made for some lofty energy projections which have but to materialize because of the angle the ball takes off the bat. He is reverse field-minded and line drive-oriented, that are correctable points, however after a full season at Triple-A, he is nearer to fully-baked than not.

After an encouraging 2023, Ramirez solidified his prospect standing final 12 months with massive manufacturing within the higher ranges and good course of stats to again them up. The quantity of contact he makes is spectacular for a way exhausting he impacts the ball, and he additionally is aware of the way to work the rely and even steal a base regardless of his underwhelming pace.

Along with his broad shoulders and easy energy to all fields, Moore evokes Yasiel Puig on the plate, and in his first eight video games as an expert, mere weeks after the Angels drafted him eighth general, he seemed to be simply as meteoric, going 18 for 32 (.563) with six residence runs.

A excessive ceiling is to be presumed, then, but additionally a level of variance that will not come into focus till we get some actual information. Superficially, he is not the multi-dimensional expertise Griffin is however could possibly be one of many high power-hitting shortstops if he makes sufficient contact.

So a lot of the keenness for Salas is constructed on him being outrageously younger for his degree of play, and if nothing else, it is a testomony to his proficiency on the most demanding defensive place. However up to now, protection is all I can confidently say he’ll present. The exit velocities are promising for his age and the contact charge greater than respectable, however whether or not he can truly leverage these instruments is anybody’s guess, notably with him being so clearly overmatched at his present degree of play.

Too usually prospect rank lists — notably these geared for Fantasy — emphasize teenage thriller containers with theoretical upside that they’ve little likelihood of assembly, however Calaz stands out from that group in that he is already realized his energy potential, satisfying the primary and most vital barrier to entry. His .327/.386/.571 slash line in a 13-game trial at Low-A additionally exhibits that he will not simply lay down and die when he sees one thing apart from fastballs.

The batting eye has been as marketed, with him reaching base at a .390 clip for his profession, however except he learns to tone down his swing, he figures to be extra of a legal responsibility than an asset for batting common.

Minor-league stats: .278 BA (421 AB), 14 HR, 14 SB, .781 OPS, 47 BB, 123 Okay
Main-league stats: 1 for 10, 1 Okay
Alcantara’s imposing dimension and flashy device set have wowed scouts since he was a 16-year-old within the Yankees system, however all these years later, he nonetheless has but to leverage these instruments for all they’re value. His numbers are OK, however he nonetheless does not run a lot, nonetheless does not elevate effectively and nonetheless cannot hit a breaking ball. Now that he is on the precipice of the majors, having truly debuted late final 12 months, we have to see actual progress.

The place he performed in 2024: Low-A
Minor-league stats: .270 BA (334 AB), 5 HR, 44 SB, .813 OPS, 86 BB, 69 Okay
Whereas Jackson Chourio at all times projected to be a middle-of-the-order masher, his brother Jaison profiles as extra of a prototypical leadoff hitter, strolling greater than he strikes out with distinctive contact abilities and pace to spare. It isn’t as stark because the distinction between Ronald Acuna and Luisangel Acuna, notably since Jaison Chourio’s exit velocities trace of extra energy to come back, nevertheless it’s of an analogous vein.

The place he performed in 2024: Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: .300 BA (443 AB), 7 HR, 47 SB, .773 OPS, 27 BB, 54 Okay
One motive Nico Hoerner is a topic of commerce hypothesis is as a result of the Cubs have mainly cloned him in Triantos, whose exit velocities give him just about no likelihood of being an influence hitter however whose skill to control the barrel on all pitch varieties and velocity bands, all whereas avoiding strikeouts, provides him an excellent likelihood of hitting for common. Add a penchant for stealing bases, and also you mainly get … Hoerner.

The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A, Double-A
Minor-league stats: .313 BA (457 AB), 9 HR, 42 SB, .805 OPS, 32 BB, 93 Okay
Up to now, Justin Crawford has been a convincing facsimile of his father, former Rays outfielder Carl Crawford, who turned a Fantasy standout along with his elite batting averages, elite stolen base totals and not-insignificant variety of residence runs. It is that third respect that is much more essential in immediately’s recreation and the best way the youthful Crawford presently falls quick, providing excessive sufficient exit velocities however placing the ball on the bottom greater than 60 p.c of the time.

Age (on opening day): 20
The place he performed in 2024: Low-A
Minor-league stats: .278 BA (151 AB), 2 HR, .758 OPS, 22 BB, 26 Okay 
Briceno’s 2024 season seemed to be a misplaced trigger as he struggled to achieve a foothold at Low-A due to a knee harm, however the Tigers had the great sense to ship him to the Arizona Fall League, the place he mashed 10 homers in 25 video games to grow to be the circuit’s first ever triple crown recipient. It got here in opposition to way more skilled competitors, by the best way, which has despatched his prospect inventory into orbit at the same time as he transitions to first base.

78. Rhett Lowder, SP, Reds

Age (on opening day): 23
The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A, Double-A, Triple-A, majors
Minor-league stats: 6-4, 3.64 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 108 2/3 IP, 24 BB, 113 Okay
Main-league stats: 2-2, 1.17 ERA, 1.27 WHIP, 30 2/3 IP, 14 BB, 22 Okay
This rating displays my skepticism of Lowder, who was drafted seventh general in 2023, hurried to the majors in his first skilled season, after which preceded to to ship a 1.16 ERA in six begins. So why the skepticism? He merely has no technique of lacking bats at current. With a excessive ground-ball charge and immaculate management, it may work, however there’s little margin for error.

79. Jacob Misiorowski, SP, Brewers

Age (on opening day): 22
The place he performed in 2024: Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: 3-5, 3.33 ERA, 1.20 WHIP, 97 1/3 IP, 60 BB, 127 Okay
Whereas Lowder is all about command and weak contact, Misiorowski is trying to blow hitters away, which is a friendlier profile for Fantasy so long as a sure command threshold is met. Misiorowski’s progress on that entrance has been just about nonexistent, which led to the Brewers attempting him out as a reliever late final 12 months. Along with his 6-foot-7 attain, Misiorowski’s upside stays alongside the strains of a Tyler Glasnow, however he is operating out of leash to make good on it.

Minor-league stats: .285 BA (485 AB), 23 HR, 18 SB, .910 OPS, 73 BB, 136 Okay
Arroyo was already identified to have a robust grasp of the strike zone and good hitter instincts general, however his 5-foot-8 body seemingly restricted him to being not more than a utility infielder and Fantasy light-weight. That he was in a position to generate a lot energy in 2024 — as a 19-year-old taking part in in opposition to extra superior competitors, for probably the most half — opens up a brand new world of potentialities, notably with him reaching base at a .400 clip.

The place he performed in 2024: Rookie
Minor-league stats (2023): .352 BA (125 AB), 3 HR, 5 SB, .999 OPS, 18 BB, 28 Okay
Superlative performances from 18-year-olds in Rookie ball are the supply of numerous prospect fakeouts, however Celesten stands out from the gang in two respects: He has a eager understanding of the strike zone, and he already produces main league-caliber exit velocities, hitting a ball as exhausting as 110 mph. All of the athleticism you possibly can need is there, too, projecting him to stay at shortstop and have an effect on the bottom paths.

Minor-league stats: .433 BA (208 AB), 7 HR, 28 2B, 1.142 OPS, 14 BB, 15 Okay
Main-league stats: .250 BA (92 AB), 2 3B, 2 2B, 8 BB, 10 Okay
Batting common standouts who lack over-the-fence energy usually do not make for good prospects anymore, however Wilson was such a standout, batting 40 factors larger than another minor-leaguer and connecting on 99 p.c of the strikes he swung at for Triple-A Sacramento, that we have now to take him critically. The Athletics actually do, drafting him sixth general in 2023 and giving him a transparent path to the shortstop job this spring.

The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A
Minor-league stats: .244 BA (353 AB), 12 HR, .786 OPS, 75 BB, 102 Okay
A uncommon instance of a prospect who hit his stride after leaving the Dodgers, Liranzo went on to .315 with 5 residence runs and extra walks (26) than strikeouts (20) in 26 video games for his new group. The prize of the Jack Flaherty deal continued with the improved plate self-discipline within the Arizona Fall League (11 walks to 9 strikeouts), which is especially noteworthy given how forcefully he swings the bat. Might he be a Will Smith sort?

The place he performed in 2024: Double-A, Triple-A
Minor-league stats: .241 BA (498 AB), 19 HR, .699 OPS, 31 BB, 143 Okay
As the Nationals proceed to graduate high-end prospects to the majors, one spot they’ve left open is third base, presumably hoping that their first choose within the 2021 draft will fill it. Home nonetheless profiles for giant energy, however he’ll must elevate his recreation shortly after struggling to adapt to the upper velocities and refined breaking balls discovered within the higher ranges.

The place he performed in 2024: Excessive-A, Double-A
Minor-league stats: .272 BA (404 AB), 4 HR, 74 SB, .729 OPS, 50 BB, 72 Okay
Bradfield’s 80-grade protection ensures he’ll have a job within the majors sometime, and his 80-grade pace provides him some hope of being a major Fantasy asset as effectively. The actual query is whether or not he’ll hit sufficient to matter given that there is just about no energy to talk of, however he makes contact at a pleasant charge and already excels at hitting the ball to all fields. There’s solely a lot upside to be discovered right here, however he most likely will not be a complete miss.

Minor-league stats: 6-5, 3.10 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 93 IP, 46 BB, 135 Okay
Klassen’s bloated stroll charge in school appeared to eradicate any likelihood of him changing into a starter, however the Phillies cleaned up his supply and outfitted him with a full array of energy pitches — i.e., a four-seamer, two-seamer, exhausting slider and even tougher slider (let’s name it a cutter) which may be the perfect of the bunch. The outcomes had been nothing wanting whifftastic, nevertheless it’s now as much as the Angels to maintain these positive factors.

Minor-league stats: 6-4, 3.03 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 113 IP, 47 BB, 160 Okay
Usually, the “rising” fastball so coveted in immediately’s recreation comes from a decrease launch level, however Tong is ready to obtain it with an over-the-top supply, making for a one-of-a-kind look that, judging from the strikeout numbers, triggered minor-league hitters’ heads to blow up. Although there have been some management glitches alongside the best way, the whiffs continued as much as Double-A (the place he debuted with six no-hit innings), providing hope that it is not only a gimmick.

88. Caden Dana, SP, Angels

Minor-league stats: 9-7, 2.52 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 135 2/3 IP, 39 BB, 147 Okay
Main-league stats: 1-2, 9.58 ERA, 2.03 WHIP, 10 1/3 IP, 7 BB, 8 Okay
Do not let Dana’s ugly major-league stint — the most recent in an extended line of overzealous promotions by the Angels — overshadow what he achieved as a 20-year-old at Double-A, embracing a workhorse mentality with one high quality outing after one other. The traits of his pitches are nothing particular, however he has a full allotment of them and good command in addition, giving him a reasonably secure No. 3 starter projection, maybe within the mould of Jose Berrios.

Minor-league stats: 5-7, 3.20 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 126 2/3 IP, 57 BB, 145 Okay
Ferris’ helium in prospect circles is bigger than this, however I might be underwhelmed if his 62 p.c strike charge and 11 p.c swinging-strike charge in the event that they got here in opposition to major-league hitters. And so they got here largely at A-ball. Even so, the slider is regarded as a particular pitch that can play up additional if can throw strikes extra constantly. Within the fingers of the Dodgers, that is a robust guess.

The place he performed in 2024: Double-A
Minor-league stats: .271 BA (469 AB), 9 HR, 23 SB, .759 OPS, 67 BB, 87 Okay
The keenness for Younger appears to be pushed by an outdated mannequin that weighs all instruments equally, however an excellent hit device does not quantity to a lot if there is not any thump behind it, as evidenced by him batting .271 in opposition to Double-A pitchers. His inclusion right here is compulsory, a nod to the truth that I do not know every little thing, and I will admit that he is prone to be one thing within the majors. However that one thing could possibly be nearer to Jake Cronenworth than Steven Kwan and even Bryson Stott.

Main-league stats: .313 BA (80 AB), 4 HR, 5 2B, .893 OPS, 7 BB, 28 Okay
Whether or not it is as a result of he is already 25, as a result of he most likely will not stick behind the plate, or as a result of it occurred at hitter-friendly Triple-A, Del Castillo’s monstrous 2024 hasn’t garnered a lot enthusiasm — and that is even with him doing an admirable job filling in for Gabriel Moreno down the stretch. Perhaps he up and vanishes like previous Reno standouts Kevin Cron and Seth Beer, or perhaps he is within the DH combine this 12 months with Joc Pederson out of the image.

Main-league stats: .308 BA (39 AB), 3 HR, 1 3B, 2 2B, 1 BB, 6 Okay
Ronald Acuna’s youthful brother had just about eradicated himself from top-100 consideration with a pitiful displaying at Triple-A Syracuse, however then he was tasked with filling in for MVP candidate Francisco Lindor through the stretch run and so rose to the event that he is grow to be a cult determine for Mets followers. He modified his method to faucet into extra exit velocity, including some energy to go together with his pace, and is now considered one of three competing for the Mets’ third base job.

The place he performed in 2024: Korea
KBO stats: .326 BA (509 AB), 11 HR, 30 SB, .841 OPS, 47 BB, 62 Okay
Kim earns a spot right here as a result of he is in line to play day by day for the Dodgers, and if he hits effectively sufficient to stay in that position, he’ll be helpful in a Nico Hoerner kind of manner, offering ample stolen bases and a not-unhelpful variety of runs scored. However that is an enormous “if.” As promising as his KBO stats are, Ha-seong Kim and Jung Hoo Lee had even higher numbers there and have struggled to make an affect with the bat up to now.

Coming over with Nestor Cortes within the Devin Williams commerce, Durbin is an choice to begin at second base for the Brewers if Brice Turang slides over to shortstop. He is coming off a bonkers Arizona Fall League efficiency in which he had 5 residence runs, 29 stolen bases and 17 walks to only six strikeouts in 24 video games, and whereas the ability output was most likely Arizona-fueled, the plate self-discipline and base-stealing prowess had been solely barely exaggerated from what we have seen in earlier stops.

Every time the Rays goal a participant, as they did Smith within the Randy Arozarena commerce, it is sensible to take discover, and what stands out instantly are the 41 steals and the .401 on-base proportion. The facility is much less exemplary, nevertheless it’s not nothing both for a slight-of-build fellow who figures so as to add muscle as he enters his 20s. The bundle is harking back to Evan Carter besides that Smith’s swing is already optimized for energy with excessive fly-ball and pull charges.

Main-league stats: .216 BA (37 AB), 2 HR, 2 SB, 4 BB, 12 Okay
A massive riser from 2021 who then received misplaced within the prospect wilderness for a couple years, Yorke lastly reached Triple-A in 2024, making his exit velocity readings publicly accessible. And lo, they had been good, a lot higher than anticipated for a prospect billed as a contact hitter. He nonetheless has the line-drive charges and all-fields method that ought to yield a excessive batting common, however there’s as soon as once more hope for extra if he can settle in at second base.

You will not discover Davidson on many prospect rank lists on condition that no crew noticed match to draft him in 2023, however each single one is kicking itself now after watching him lay waste to the California League, closing out his time there with a .440/.564/.868 slash line and 7 residence runs in 26 video games. You may argue, pretty, that he was too previous for the extent, however the instruments stand out once you watch him play.

Might he be any extra any extra of a throwback? Gamers with Simpson’s ability set have not been en vogue since concerning the time The Simpsons first aired and have not been even viable since Michael Bourn or Juan Pierre. Simpson’s tiny fly-ball and pull charges present simply how dedicated he’s to not hitting homers. He is aware of who he’s, and it will both work or it will not. Xavier Edwards‘ preliminary success gives some hope.

Veen immediately is a far cry from the consensus top-25 prospect he was in 2022, however if you happen to look previous the numbers and on the circumstances surrounding them, you possibly can see how accidents are largely responsible. He got here out of the gate final 12 months slashing .326/.418/.568 in 28 video games, having lastly overcome the wrist problems with the earlier two years, however then was derailed by again and thumb accidents. The ability set stays intriguing sufficient, notably with Colorado in his sights, to offer him one final go of it.

Roden beats out an extended record of candidates for this last spot as a result of I feel the percentages of him being an out-and-out failure are subsequent to nothing. His contact, line-drive and on-base abilities are just too good. Whether or not he can put sufficient balls within the bleachers to make him Fantasy viable is tougher to say, however his pull charge (50.5) and max exit velocity (112.2 mph) at Triple-A this previous 12 months would counsel so.
