Jordyn Adams is a fantasy baseball OF prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Jordyn Adams, OF, Los Angeles Angels
ANALYSIS: Adams has been one of the more impressive players to watch on the field since the Angels selected him 17th overall in the 2018 draft out of high school. The raw athleticism is absolutely tantalizing, but he’s yet to hit above .250 at a full-season stop or tap into his impressive raw power.
This season, the batting average is low to open the season, but it may be hiding improvements that Adams has made, as he’s walking at a 10% rate, has lowered his strikeout rate notably, and he’s finally tapping into his power, with eight extra-base hits over his first 14 games.
VERDICT: Adams has some of the most impressive speed in the game and is a remarkable athlete. If he can get some hits to fall (.219 BABIP thus far), he may force his way to either being traded or pushing his way into the crowded Angels outfield. Hold off for now, but the arrow is up to open the year.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]
Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A.
