Justin Lange is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Justin Lange, SP, New York Yankees
ANALYSIS: Lange was a fireballing pitcher taken in the 2020 draft by the Padres before being traded to the Yankees last spring. Like most pitchers who hit peak velocity while in high school, his control was severely lacking, leading to many Yankees' top 30 lists excluding the 21-year-old.
The Yankees worked with the 6’4” righty, and he’s come out showing those improvements in droves. This past week, he generated 25 swings and misses in his second start of the season, leading all of minor league baseball for the week in the stat.
Lange featured his sinker and 4-seam fastball, throwing a fastball 62% of the time, but he’s pounding the zone with his entire arsenal of pitches, resulting in a 17/2 K/BB over 10 innings to open the season.
VERDICT: Lange will likely be widely-available in all dynasty formats, so if you have the roster room in a deep dynasty, grab him now. In a shallow dynasty, it’d be wise to see if the control holds for another start or two, but if it does, add him quickly.
