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 Rookie Report
MLB Hitters
-
-
- Season: .263/.328/.316 | 7.8 BB% / 17.2 K%| 2 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
- This Week: 6/26 | 0 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
- Notes: Wyatt Langford is making great contact, barreling the ball and hitting it in the air. The issue might be his eye is too good and he’s getting strikes called against him that are clearly balls. Maybe he needs to chase a little more to let the skills play.
-
-
- Season: N/A (first week!)
- This Week: 0/11 | 0 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
- Notes: Jackson Holliday is up and he doesn’t have a hit… it’s the end of the world! He will be fine. Have patience, my friends.
-
-
- Season: .244/.393/.422 | 17.9 BB% / 12.5 K%| 6 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
- This Week: 6/24 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 0 SB
- Notes: Evan Carter is about two weeks away from graduating prospect status. The contact rate is up, and he has only a .270 BABIP. The barrel rate is off at only 2.6% thus far.
-
-
- Season: .240/.278/.380 | 5.6 BB% / 29.6 K%| 3 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB
- This Week: 4/21 | 0 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB
- Notes: A 23.1% barrel rate is unsustainable. Despite terrible plate skills thus far, Jackson Chourio’s tools are making it work, and he’s hitting the ball in the zone with a 90.9% Z-Contact rate.
