Hey friends, welcome to my weekly fantasy baseball prospects report at FantasyPros! The goal of this column is to give you the most fantasy baseball-relevant prospect information throughout the last week all in one place. The format of this weekly fantasy baseball prospects report will be by level and we will go through players in order of their placing on my latest Top 150 prospect rankings (click here to view). I won’t be hitting every prospect every week (though I basically did this week), but will focus on the most fantasy baseball-relevant throughout the week and will follow up on other notable players post my Top 150 rankings. This article will not focus on any AAAA-type players or veterans in the minors who have outlived their prospect status.

MLB Hitters

• #15 3B Noelvi Marte (Reds):

• • • Season: N/A
    • This Week: 3/14 | 0 XBH, 0 HR, 2 SB (3 games)
    • Notes: Marte was suspended for the first half of the season due to PEDs and made his return to the majors this week already nabbing two steals.

• OF Jhonkensy Noel (Guardians)

• • • Season (AAA): .295/.359/.578 | 6.7 BB% / 21.1 K%| 35 XBH, 18 HR, 1 SB
    • This Week: 3/10 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Noel has only started two games and has one bomb in each start since getting the call up. He’s earning himself more playing time with the power he’s bringing to a squad that could use it.

MLB Pitchers

• #63 SP David Festa (Twins)

• • • Season (AAA): 59 2/3 IP | 25.4 K-BB%, 16.8 SwStr% | 3.77 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 2 Ks, 1 BBs | 9.00 ERA, 1.60 WHIP
    • Notes: Festa made his first career start and should stick in the rotation with Paddack going on the IL with shoulder soreness.

• #87 SP Hayden Birdsong (Giants):

• • • Season (AA): 48 1/3 IP | 20.6 K-BB%, 13.8 SwStr% | 2.05 ERA, 1.10 WHIP

AAA Hitters

• #3 OF James Wood (Nationals):

• • • Season: .353/.463/.595 | 17.3 BB% / 18.2 K%| 26 XBH, 10 HR, 10 SB
    • This Week: 6/14 | 3 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Wood is getting the call, with the promotion coming on Monday, but he finished with a strong final week of minor league ball.

• #8 OF Dylan Crews (Nationals):

• • • Season (AAA): .273/.304/.477 | 4.3 BB% / 10.9 K%| 5 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB

    • Notes: Crews stays hot with another over .300 batting average week and three doubles.

• #11 3B Coby Mayo (Orioles)

• • • Season (AAA): .310/.381/.638 | 9.7 BB% / 25 K%| 33 XBH, 17 HR, 3 SB
    • This Week: 9/21 | 4 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Mayo is trying to force a call up as he has been on an absolute tear since returning from the IL with 13 XBH and 7 homers since 6/13.

• #34 1B Kyle Manzardo (Guardians)

• • • Season (AAA): .294/.382/.622 | 12.9 BB% / 17.6 K%| 23 XBH, 12 HR, 0 SB
    • This Week: 6/20 | 3 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Manzardo was seemingly passed on the Guardians depth chart by Noel and he started mashing some homers to put himself back in the playing time conversation.

• #75 OF Colby Thomas (Athletics):

• • • Season (AA): .282/.340/.568 | 6.5 BB% / 18 K%| 36 XBH, 14 HR, 12 SB
    • This Week: 8/26 | 4 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Thomas was promoted to AAA last week and has smoothed right in to continue what he was doing at AA.

• #78 Jonatan Clase (Mariners):

• • • Season: .277/.382/.471 | 15 BB% / 26.4 K%| 22 XBH, 7 HR, 23 SB
    • This Week: 8/30 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
    • Notes: Clase hit for the cycle this week with a double and triple.

• #97 SS Brooks Lee (Twins)

• • • Season (AAA): .333/.400/.617 | 14.3 BB% / 14.3 K%| 11 XBH, 6 HR, 1 SB
    • This Week: 6/21 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB

• Notes: Lee stays hot with another couple of bombs and is likely not far from a call up.

• #117 SS Jacob Wilson (Athletics)

• • • Season (AAA): .429/.478/.619 | 8.7 BB% / 6.5 K%| 4 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB (10 games)
    • This Week: 9/18 | 2 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Wilson was a first rounder last year and has been a hitting machine all year, coming back from injury to mash a couple bombs as well.

• #120. 1B/3B Deyvison De Los Santos (Diamondbacks)

• • • Season (AAA): .306/.352/.612 | 5.5 BB% / 23.4 K%| 22 XBH, 9 HR, 0 SB
    • This Week: 6/24 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: De Los Santos continued mashing bombs this week and has now played seven games at 3B this season.

AAA Pitchers

• #79 SP Ty Madden (Tigers):

• • • Season: 37 IP | 11.2 K-BB%, 12.7 SwStr% | 8.51 ERA, 1.92 WHIP
    • This Week: 6 IP | 8 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.33 WHIP
    • Notes: Madden killed it at AA earlier this season, but has suffered on the struggle bus all year at AAA until this start.

• SP Chayce McDermott (Orioles)

• • • Season: 76 IP | 19.4 K-BB%, 14.1 SwStr% | 3.79 ERA, 1.45 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 8 Ks, 1 BBs | 3.18 ERA, 1.41 WHIP
    • Notes: McDermott is a high stuff, bad command guy and we are seeing it this year. He has three plus pitches and we are seeing the control finally start coming around.

• SP Michael McGreevy (Cardinals)

• • • Season (AAA): 87 IP | 13.4 K-BB%, 9.4 SwStr% | 4.55 ERA, 1.36 WHIP
    • This Week (MLB): 7 IP | 8 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.43 WHIP
    • Notes: McGreevy is a former first round pick who has shown he can pitch deep into games, but hasn’t been very effective from either a stuff or command standpoint and kind of looks like a back end innings eating type starter at this point, but this week’s start gives a little more hope to a turnaround.

AA Hitters

• #20 SS/3B Matt Shaw (Cubs):

• • • Season: .251/.361/.428 | 13.7 BB% / 20.3 K%| 21 XBH, 10 HR, 19 SB
    • This Week: 6/14 | 4 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB
    • Notes: Shaw has been much better lately and his season stats are looking significantly better after having a full-on bad month in May.

• #82 SS Sterlin Thompson (Rockies):

• • • Season: .233/.298/.368 | 7.4 BB% / 23.8 K%| 20 XBH, 6 HR, 6 SB
    • This Week: 6/20 | 3 XBH, 3 HR, 1 SB
    • Notes: Thompson has generally been a doubles machine, but with three bombs this week he seems to be figuring out AA.

• #85 OF Jacob Melton (Astros)

• • • Season: .253/.311/.470 | 7 BB% / 20.4 K%| 18 XBH, 8 HR, 13 SB
    • This Week: 6/22 | 5 XBH, 3 HR, 2 SB
    • Notes: Melton had a big week and might be ready for AAA.

• #109 2B/3B James Triantos (Cubs):

• • • Season: .318/.355/.475 | 4.6 BB% / 9.9 K%| 24 XBH, 7 HR, 29 SB
    • This Week: 10/23 | 1 XBH, 1 HR, 4 SB
    • Notes: Triantos keeps doing the same thing every week and is basically the AA Steven Kwan this year. He should be promoted to AAA soon.

• 1B C.J. Kayfus (Guardians)

• • • Season (AA): .333/.433/.667 | 12.2 BB% / 26.7 K%| 12 XBH, 6 HR, 0 SB (21 games)
    • This Week: 5/24 | 4 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: The power continues for Kayfus who is stuck in the conga line of 1B / corner OF types the Guardians have in their system.

• SS Brooks Baldwin (White Sox)

• • • Season (AA): .335/.400/.460 | 9.2 BB% / 16.1 K%| 22 XBH, 6 HR, 16 SB
    • This Week: 8/24 | 4 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: The switch hitting shortstop has been very good this season and is showing he might have a place on the big league roster next year.

AA Pitchers

• #29 SP Noah Schultz (White Sox):

• • • Season: 23 1/3 IP | 30.3 K-BB%, 10.6 SwStr% | 1.93 ERA, 0.81 WHIP
    • This Week: 3 2/3 IP | 7 Ks, 2 BBs | 2.45 ERA, 1.36 WHIP
    • Notes: Schultz is dominating in the strikeout department, but a little like Misiorowski he needs to reign in the control some to live his best life. We have some Glasnow-like skills here and he’s been only getting in shorter starts as they are likely saving bullets for next year.

• #49 SP Jacob Misiorowski (Brewers):

• • • Season: 58 IP | 14.7 K-BB%, 14.2 SwStr% | 3.10 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 8 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.88 WHIP
    • Notes: Misiorowski is going to be volatile because of his control issues, but if he can reign in the control, he’s going to be unhittable. I think he’s up after the trade deadline, because the Brewers will need him in the playoffs.

• #142 SP Ian Seymour (Rays):

• • • Season: 15 IP | 35.8 K-BB%, 16 SwStr% | 1.20 ERA, 0.53 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 6 Ks, 0 BBs | 1.80 ERA, 1.40 WHIP
    • Notes: Seymour is older for the level, but he’s destroying and is a name to watch with the Rays. Why is he still in AA? He should be up in AAA or even the majors at this point.

• SP Gunnar Hoglund (Athletics):

• • • Season: 84 2/3 IP | 15.7 K-BB%, 12.1 SwStr% | 3.08 ERA, 1.10 WHIP
    • This Week: 6 IP | 8 Ks, 0 BBs | 1.50 ERA, 0.67 WHIP
    • Notes: Hoglund is finally healthy and pitching some serious innings, I bet he’s up at some point this season. He’s been a bit up and down at AA.

• SP Miguel Ullola (Astros)

• • • Season: 71 1/3 IP | 18.6 K-BB%, 13.7% SwStr% | 4.54 ERA, 1.15 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BBs | 3.18 ERA, 0.53 WHIP
    • Notes: Ullola is the classic Astros prospect that pops up out of nowhere and turns into a very good starter.

• SP Andrew Morris (Twins):

• • • Season (AA): 32 IP | 20 K-BB%, 9.1 SwStr% | 1.41 ERA, 0.88 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 9 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.71 WHIP
    • Notes: Morris is a big time control pitcher in the Zebby Matthews mold, but without as good of stuff.

• SP Bubba Chandler (Pirates)

• • • Season: 54 IP | 20.5 K-BB%, 13.5 SwStr% | 4.17 ERA, 1.15 WHIP
    • This Week: 6 2/3 IP | 11 Ks, 1 BBs | 2.70 ERA, 0.60 WHIP
    • Notes: Big fastball and slider guy, known as a dual sport athlete who is not finally focusing on baseball rather than football. A lot of upside here.

• SP Logan Henderson (Brewers)

• • • Season: 64 2/3 IP | 22.4 K-BB%, 14 SwStr% | 4.73 ERA, 1.10 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 10 Ks, 2 BBs | 3.18 ERA, 0.88 WHIP
    • Notes: Henderson is of slight build and has jumped up a couple levels already this season after destroying at low A most of last season. He has excellent command and a nice fastball / changeup combo.

• SP Parker Messick (Guardians)

• • • Season (A+): 68 IP | 20.1 K-BB%, 14.9 SwStr% | 3.57 ERA, 1.28 WHIP
    • This Week: 4 2/3 IP | 10 Ks, 3 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.64 WHIP
    • Notes: This was only Messick’s second start at the AA level and he’s shown he was ready for the promotion. The second rounder will likely spend the rest of the season at AA, but be ready for a quick promotion to the majors in 2025.

• SP Cooper Hjerpe (Cardinals):

• • • Season (AA): 12 2/3 IP | 20.4 K-BB%, 13 SwStr% | 3.55 ERA, 0.87 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 8 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.40 WHIP
    • Notes: Hjerpe is a former first round pick with a funky delivery. He’s building up innings right now and is looking to prove he can be a major league starter. I think we see him up this year in the pen for the Cardinals if they need a high leverage reliever in September.

A+ Hitters

• #28 Lazaro Montes (Mariners)

• • • Season (A): .309/.411/.527 | 13.9 BB% / 19.1 K%| 28 XBH, 13 HR, 1 SB
    • This Week: 7/20 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB (5 games)
    • Notes: Montes had a very good first week at high A.

• #115 2B/3B Sal Stewart (Reds)

• • • Season: .280/.383/.453 | 13.5 BB% / 16 K%| 24 XBH, 8 HR, 7 SB
    • This Week: 7/16 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
    • Notes: Big dude who should develop more power, but for now has a fantastic plate approach and hit tool for his age. This is a guy I got a live look on and I think he’s going to be a dude. He might end up moving off the position, because he’s a big boy. He has a good hit tool, great plate skills and 25-30 home run power potential.

• OF Colton Ledbetter (Rays)

• • • Season: .261/.328/.460 | 9 BB% / 28.9 K%| 24 XBH, 9 HR, 19 SB
    • This Week: 11/24 | 4 XBH, 0 HR, 3 SB
    • Notes: Ledbetter was the Rays second round pick last year and has had a good year all around. He and Taylor should both be in AA right now.

• OF Jhostynxon Garcia (Red Sox)

• • • Season (A+): .307/.371/.659 | 6.2 BB% / 20.6 K%| 13 XBH, 9 HR, 0 SB
    • This Week: 5/18 | 3 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: The password or scrabble or whatever you want to call him has been mashing this year.

A+ Pitchers

• #69 SP Chase Dollander (Rockies):

• • • Season: 62 IP | 25.3 K-BB%, 18.4 SwStr% | 3.05 ERA, 1.24 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 8 Ks, 1 BBs | 5.40 ERA, 1.60 WHIP
    • Notes: Dollander has been insane this year and is ready for AA, I’m not sure why the Rockies are slow playing some of these pitchers.

• #94 SP Hunter Barco (Pirates):

• • • Season: 57 IP | 21.4 K-BB%, 13.9 SwStr% | 3.16 ERA, 1.12 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 9 Ks, 1 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.20 WHIP
    • Notes: Barco is going to move up a level pretty quick and should already be in AA based on his age.

• #118. SP George Klassen (Phillies):

• • • Season (A+): 13 IP | 25 K-BB%, 19.5 SwStr% | 3.46 ERA, 1.15 WHIP
    • This Week: 4 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BBs | 6.75 ERA, 2.00 WHIP
    • Notes: Klassen is rolling here now at high A, but was hit up despite the great ratios last start.

• #125 SP Dylan Lesko (Padres):

• • • Season: 55 2/3 IP | 8.4 K-BB%, 14 SwStr% | 5.66 ERA, 1.49 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 9 Ks, 2 BBs | 1.59 ERA, 1.06 WHIP
    • Notes: Lesko has had some rough control to date and needs to finetune that area of his game, but this week was his best start of the season.

• SP Jonah Tong (Mets):

• • • Season (A+): 42 2/3 IP | 18.6 K-BB%, 13.8 SwStr% | 3.38 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
    • This Week: 6 IP | 11 Ks, 1 BBs | 1.50 ERA, 0.67 WHIP
    • Notes: Tong had a killer start and might follow Quinn Mathews up to AA sooner rather than later with a couple more starts like this.

A Hitters

• #128 SS/3B Ricardo Cabrera (Reds)

• • • Season: .266/.331/.459 | 7.3 BB% / 22.6 K%| 28 XBH, 10 HR, 9 SB
    • This Week: 8/26 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 1 SB
    • Notes: Cabrera has been solid all season and we are seeing he can be a 20/20 type with a ton of doubles when he’s at his best.

• OF Chase Davis (Cardinals):

• • • Season: .224/.338/.393 | 13.8 BB% / 25 K%| 22 XBH, 6 HR, 5 SB
    • This Week: 6/22 | 2 XBH, 1 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Davis changed his batting stance and has been much better in June with a .317/.450/.633 slash and four bombs in June and he’s in a very tough hitting environment, so I expect to see better numbers in Peoria.

• SS Keiner Delgado (Pirates)

• • • Season (A): .252/.330/.423 | 7.1 BB% / 21.4 K%| 14 XBH, 6 HR, 10 SB
    • This Week: 5/21 | 2 XBH, 2 HR, 1 SB
    • Notes: Delgado has been a little boom or bust in A ball this year, but the power / speed is for real.

• C Blake Mitchell (Royals)

• • • Season: .250/.399/.460 | 18.4 BB% / 31.1 K%| 24 XBH, 11 HR, 18 SB
    • This Week: 5/18 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: The first rounder has shown an awesome power / speed tendency for a catcher this season.

• OF Aidan Smith (Mariners)

• • • Season: .260/.380/.443 | 14.8 BB% / 25.9 K%| 28 XBH, 8 HR, 22 SB
    • This Week: 10/25 | 5 XBH, 2 HR, 4 SB
    • Notes: There’s a new Aidan dominating A ball now that Aidan Miller is in high A and of course, it’s another killer Mariners prospect. Smith has been a doubles machine all year and has been way better this year after being drafted out of high school last year, by hitting the ball on the ground way less.

A Pitchers

• SP Mavis Graves (Phillies)

• • • Season: 58 IP | 28.5 K-BB%, 17.6 SwStr% | 2.48 ERA, 1.09 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 10 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
    • Notes: Graves is a huge lefty who has had a very strong season and at 20-years-old, should be up in high A soon coming off his best start yet.

• SP Gary Gill Hill (Rays)

• • • Season: 65 2/3 IP | 21.3 K-BB%, 13.5 SwStr% | 2.06 ERA, 0.97 WHIP
    • This Week: 6 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BBs | 1.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
    • Notes: Hill is more of a command over stuff guy and probably projects out at the back of a rotation, but what he’s done as a 19-year-old this season has been solid.

• SP Jarlin Susana (Padres)

• • • Season: 51 1/3 IP | 20.9 K-BB%, 15.3 SwStr% | 4.91 ERA, 1.42 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 9 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.60 WHIP
    • Notes: Susana is known for his big fastball / slider combo and has some command issues that hold back his killer stuff.

• SP Chen-Wei Lin (Cardinals)

• • • Season: 68 IP | 13.5 K-BB%, 12.4 SwStr% | 3.04 ERA, 1.10 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 7 Ks, 0 BBs | 1.80 ERA, 0.60 WHIP
    • Notes: Lin has killer 100 MPH stuff and even though he demonstrates control, his command outside of the zone on his stuff doesn’t generate enough O-swing%.

CPX Hitters

• #143 OF Robert Calaz (Rockies)

• • • Season: .352/.460/.648 | 14.7 BB% / 23.3 K%| 21 XBH, 6 HR, 7 SB
    • This Week: 3/9 | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 3 SB (3 games)
    • Notes: Big time power potential who has to combat swing and miss to make it. He’s ready for low A.

• #146 OF Yasser Mercedes (Twins)

• • • Season: .333/.424/.542 | 12.2 BB% / 21.6 K%| 15 XBH, 5 HR, 17 SB
    • This Week: 8/16 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
    • Notes: Big time power potential who has to combat swing and miss to make it. He’s ready for low A.

• OF Eduardo Quintero (Dodgers)

• • • Season: .353/.463/.485 | 14 BB%, 21.3 K% | 10 XBH, 3 HR, 17 SB
    • This Week: 6/19 | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 5 SB
    • Notes: A lot of speed for Quintero this week as he keeps making this list week in and week out.

• OF Braylin Morel (Rangers)

• • • Season: .286/.378/.476 | 10.8 BB% / 24.3 K%| 14 XBH, 3 HR, 9 SB
    • This Week: 5/10 | 1 XBH, 1 HR, 2 SB
    • Notes: Morel has had a solid complex and I wanted to highlight him a little here as we haven’t mentioned the top prospect very much to date in this article.
