Welcome back, prospectors. We already have some solid wins from the last article as Jackson Holliday and Jack Leiter have both received their call to the majors. Below I’ve got the top-10 fantasy baseball prospects to prioritize on your stash list. There is a combination of talent versus proximity in these ranks. Christian Scott over Ricky Tidemann is an example of this. I do believe Tiedemann long term is the better pitcher, but Christian Scott has been pitching so well, and his timeline looks to hit before Tiedemann. Take a look at your roster and league to decide when to start stashing, but they are the top-10 guys I’d trigger finger for. Here is the full top-10 list of fantasy baseball prospects to stash for this week. Below we dive into a few notable names.

Fantasy Baseball Prospects
Ricky Tiedemann (SP – TOR )
We’ve seen some early-season struggles in the minors from Ricky. He’s struck out 10 over eight innings with an over-five ERA. Walks have been a bit of an issue, as his ability to reach upper nineties with command. He almost made the team out of camp, and they may just be waiting for a good start or two before he’s up. Command at the majors is the red flag here, but he will be a heavy strikeout option when he’s up.
Kyle Manzardo (1B – CLE )
His stats aren’t lighting up the scoreboard, but he’s quietly doing the right things. He’s walking as much as he’s striking out (10/10). He’s got a hundred-point higher OBP than his .250 batting average, and the power will be coming soon. He’s 1B only, so the team will have to be comfortable putting one of him or Josh Naylor as DH before the move can be done. An Injury or an offensive boost will most likely facilitate the move.
Jordan Beck (OF – COL )
Beck is a carry over from the previous report. He’s hitting just under .300 with an almost .400 OBP, four home runs one stolen base. The Rockies have been dreadful to start the year, and with Beck performing and playing in triple-a, he should get the call when they finally decide to mix things up. You may be able to wait until May before putting him higher on your watch list, or actually stashing him.
