Fantasy Baseball Rookies: Colton Cowser, Ceddanne Rafaela, Victor Scott II, Ronny Mauricio

Welcome back to my weekly prospect report at FantasyPros! The goal of this column is to give you the most fantasy-relevant prospect information throughout the last week, all in one place.

The format of this weekly prospect report will be by level and we will go through players in order of their placing on my latest Top 150 Prospect Rankings. I won’t be hitting every prospect every week, but I will focus on the most relevant throughout the week and follow up on other notable players post my top 150. This article will not focus on any AAAA-type players or veterans in the Minors who have outlived their prospect status. Below we dive into a few notable names.

NOTE: Rookie status is determined by 130 ABs, or 50 IPs at the Major League level | All stats are as of Sunday, April 14.

Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report

MLB Hitters

#49 Colton Cowser (OF – BAL)

- - Season: .452/.471/.935 | 5.9 BB% / 23.5 K%| 9 XBH, 3 HR, 2 SB
  - This Week: 9/20 | 7 XBH, 3 HR, 2 SB
  - Notes: Colton Cowser should probably win AL Hitter of the Week. He was absolute fire and should be starting every day at the top of the lineup as long as he hits like this.

#50 Ceddanne Rafaela (SS, OF – BOS)

- - Season: .186/.245/.302 | 6.1 BB% / 28.6 K%| 3 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB
  - This Week: 3/16 | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
  - Notes: The fScores saved me from making the mistake of drafting Ceddanne Rafaela. The fDiscipline for him was absolutely atrocious, and we can see how that’s translating this year.

#54 Ronny Mauricio (2B, SS – NYM)

- - Season: N/A
  - This Week: N/A
  - Notes: Ronny Mauricio tore his ACL in the Dominican Winter League and won’t be back until August at the soonest.

#61 Victor Scott II (OF – STL)

- - Season: .098/.158/.157 | 3.5 BB% / 21.1 K%| 3 XBH, 0 HR, 2 SB
  - This Week: 2/18 | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB
  - Notes: How does someone this fast have such a poor BABIP? Victor Scott II has a .122 BABIP on the season, even though his average EV is 88.4 (which is fine for a speed player). Scott II should be running a .350 BABIP.
