Tanner Bibee is a fantasy baseball SP prospect pitcher sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Tanner Bibee, SP, Cleveland Guardians
ANALYSIS: Bibee fits the profile of the type of guy that Cleveland does very well working with – a fifth-round selection from Cal State-Fullerton who left college with okay stuff but a penchant for throwing plenty of strikes.
This past week was by far Bibee's worst start of the season, as he walked five and allowed three hits over 4 1/3 innings, seeing three runs score. Over the season, though, Bibee has recorded a 1.76 ERA and 0.63 WHIP over 15 1/3 innings with a 19/8 K/BB ratio.
Sitting 90-92 coming out of college, Bibee's fastball now averages 95 and touches 99. He also works in a plus slider and change-up as well with a mid-70s curve that generates plenty of groundball contact as well as looking strikes.
The Guardians have had some health issues and performance issues among the starting staff to open the season, and while Bibee was behind Logan Allen and Peyton Battenfield in the pecking order, they've both been called up, putting Bibee next in line.
VERDICT: Bibee is the rare type of prospect that will get the recommendation to roster in redraft leagues as well as all levels of dynasty.

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.

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.
