Top 10 Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Draft
As the 2024 fantasy baseball season approaches, identifying top prospects is crucial for a winning strategy. Based on the insights from the FantasyPros podcast episode, here’s a rundown of the top 10 prospects you should consider drafting.
1. Wyatt Langford (Texas Rangers) Langford stands out with his remarkable hitting ability and is expected to be a significant contributor to the Rangers’ lineup. His potential for both power and average makes him a top pick.
2. Jackson Chourio (Milwaukee Brewers) Chourio, a young infielder, has shown exceptional talent and is expected to break into the majors while still a teenager. His contract extension signals the Brewers’ confidence in him.
3. Evan Carter (Texas Rangers) Carter’s spot on the Rangers’ roster seems secure, and he’s known for his speed and ability to get on base. However, there are questions about his power projection.
4. Junior Caminero (Tampa Bay Rays) Camero’s opportunity to play regularly in Tampa makes him an attractive prospect. His potential for immediate productivity is high, though there’s some uncertainty about his role.
5. Jackson Holliday (Baltimore Orioles) Holiday’s exceptional on-base skills and pitch recognition make him a top prospect. If he secures a starting role, he could be a significant fantasy contributor.
6. Noelvi Marte (Cincinnati Reds) Marte’s potential for power and speed is high, though his exact role in the Reds’ lineup is unclear. He’s a valuable pick if he secures regular playing time.
7. Kyle Manzardo (Cleveland Guardians) Manzardo’s powerful swing and potential for home runs make him an intriguing prospect, especially if he earns a spot in Cleveland’s lineup early in the season.
8. Mason Miller (Oakland A’s) Miller’s transition to a bullpen role, potentially as a closer, offers fantasy value in terms of saves and strikeouts.
9. Kyle Harrison (San Francisco Giants) Harrison’s strikeout potential makes him a worthwhile pick for fantasy teams needing pitching depth.
10. Pete Crow-Armstrong (Chicago Cubs) Crow-Armstrong’s combination of power and speed, along with his youth and energy, make him a prospect to watch in the Cubs’ lineup.
