It is hard to believe we are pushing the halfway point of the season. There have been a ton of prospects making major impacts that likely would not have been the case in previous seasons. But with more incentives for teams to call up their top prospects, we have had plenty of young talents debut. This is creating chaos in leagues that have FAAB. Do you still have any left? Who is next to get the call? Let’s dive in on some names.

Top Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash

Graduates from the last list: Gavin Williams, Jordan Westburg, Bo Naylor

1. Colton Cowser (OF – BAL) 

Colton Cowser has been one of the hottest hitters in the Minors. Even a quad injury couldn’t keep him down long. Cowser’s days are numbered in Triple-A, and he will join the red-hot Orioles soon.

2. Christian Encarnacion-Strand (1B – CIN)

Christian Encarnacion-Strand has a hyper-aggressive approach but big power. He has never hit below .296 at any MILB stop despite being aggressive. Encarnacion-Strand is slashing .323/.395/.628 with 17 home runs in 54 Triple-A games. The Reds have been aggressive with their prospects, and CES should be next.

3. Ronny Mauricio (SS – NYM) 

The Mets moving Ronny Mauricio to second base and even left field shows they are serious about him being part of the team soon. Mauricio has big power and speed and has shown an improved feel to hit this year.

4. Grayson Rodriguez (SP – BAL)

After a pretty disastrous debut for Rodriguez, he has settled in nicely in Triple-A. He has thrown at least six innings in three of his last four starts with solid strikeouts(10,11,8). Rodriguez will be back pitching in Baltimore soon.

5. Oscar Colas (OF – CWS)

Oscar Colas made the White Sox out of Spring Training and struggled, but since his demotion has been raking. He has significantly cut his chase and strikeout rates and is slashing .297/.368/.483 with six home runs in 193 Triple-A plate appearances.

6. Colt Keith (3B – DET)

After dominating Double-A, Keith earned a promotion to Triple-A, in which he homered and had three hits. Keith has big power and strong contact and has ascended up the rankings quickly. Keith may surprise people, but data suggests this is a top-10 fantasy prospect.

7. Kyle Manzardo (1B – TB)

Kyle Manzardo is hitting the ball harder than ever and still making high-end contact. He has set a new max exit velocity this season by nearly four mph. Manzardo has a unique blend of contact and power.

8. Dominic Canzone (OF – ARI)

Canzone has been dominating Triple-A for the second straight year but is showing improved contact and more power. He could be a sneaky add for redraft leagues.

9. Justyn-Henry Malloy (OF – DET)

Justyn-Henry Malloy may be the spark the Tigers’ offense needs. He is slashing .267/.388/.437 with 11 home runs in Triple-A. Malloy has nothing left to prove in the Minors. We will see him in Detroit soon.

10. Quinn Priester (SP – PIT)

Priester has had an up-and-down season but is coming off his best start yet, in which he struck out 11 over six scoreless innings. When he is on, he’s on, and Priester shows a good arsenal of pitches. Don’t be surprised when he is in Pittsburgh soon.
