Three top fantasy baseball prospects - Charlie Condon, Thomas White, Hagen Smith - that can make big impacts. These MLB prospects are waiver wire pickups or stashes.
Stashing high-upside prospects ahead of their MLB debuts and providing you with a potential league-winning player. Last season, those who showed stahsed Nick Kurtz ahead of his MLB debut acquired a top-10 hitter at a very low FAAB cost.
Below, we will look at three high-upside prospects to stash, including potentially the No. 1 hitter and No. 1 pitcher prospect in all of baseball.
Should fantasy managers stash these high-end prospects? Let's dive in!

The Rockies are a rebuilding team that seems to be finally on the right track, with new management showing they can get more value out of their players. Chase Dollander and Antonio Senzatela are two good examples of that.
With that in mind, it's only a matter of time before they call up Condon, who is their top hitting prospect. Condon is currently slashing .248/.396/.390 with four home runs in 134 plate appearances at Triple-A.
That's an underwhelming slash line, but there are some encouraging metrics worth noting, namely with Condon's plate discipline. The Rockies' first base prospect has a 17.2% walk rate and 20.1% strikeout rate. You're likely going to see him mashing soon.
While TJ Rumfield has been a pleasant surprise for the Rockies, Condon doesn't need to supplant him to get called up. He can take over at DH for Edouard Julien, who can then move to second base. Make no mistake, the Rockies will find room for Condon if he starts to heat up in the minors.
While it's likely that we'll have to wait until after the All-Star break for this call-up, Condon should be able to make an impact by providing power while not hurting you in batting average.

Thomas White, SP, Miami Marlins
Current Level: AAA
Availability: 5% rostered
2026 AAA Stats: 14 2/3 IP, 3.07 ERA, 1.23 WHIP, 22 SO, 7 BB
While his teammate Snelling remains the prospect to stash in this system, White is quickly approaching his MLB debut as well and is a fine fallback option if Snelling is already rostered. White was given an opportunity to win a job in the starting rotation out of spring training, but suffered an oblique injury early in camp, which deprived him of any of these chances.
After a rehab stint in the lower levels, the team's top prospect returned to action at Triple-A Jacksonville and is looking like his typical dominant self. Through his first three games of the campaign with Triple-A Jacksonville, White has logged 12 2/3 innings to the tune of a 2.13 ERA and a 0.87 WHIP. During this stint, the southpaw has struck out 19 hitters while walking only four hitters.
While White's workload is still being gradually increased, his upside is unmatched and potentially the highest among any name on this list. Managers should continue to monitor his usage with Jacksonville, as he could be cleared to pitch deeper into games in the coming weeks.
Last summer, White opened the season at High-A but was able to conclude the season at Triple-A. At High-A and Double-A (80 1/3 innings), the former 35th overall pick posted a strong 2.13 ERA with a 1.16 WHIP. He tallied an eye-catching 128 punchouts, but his hefty 41 free passes limited his fantasy ceiling.
During his brief late-season cup of coffee with Triple-A, White posted 17:10 K:BB over 9 1/3 innings with Triple-A. Seeing him not only find more success with Triple-A but also drastically improve his command is a great sign.
While he remains on track for a season-long debut, his upside is worth noting. Those in deeper leagues with NA spots should look to stash White before he enters Snelling territory.
