Gavin Williams 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: Gavin Williams, SP, Cleveland Guardians
ANALYSIS: Williams, 23, is a big-bodied right-hander whom the Guardians selected with the 23rd overall pick back in 2021. He has wasted no time showing off his skills in the minors, headlined by a fantastic fastball that touches triple-digits.
He supports his high-velocity heater with a trio of effective complementary offerings: a slider and curveball, which can both be lethal options that break enough to miss opponents' bats, as well as a changeup with a solid fade. These offerings offer a fantastic change of pace from his fastball and can be incredibly effective late in counts.
The East Carolina product delivered big results in the minors this past week. During his outing on Thursday, he surrendered zero runs, zero hits, and just one walk over five innings of work, all while striking out eight batters. He was incredibly effective in the outing, building on an already strong start to the year.
VERDICT: Williams should have no trouble advancing through the minors and projects as a reliable fantasy weapon in the next year or two.

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.

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.
