Tyler Black is a fantasy baseball 3B prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Tyler Black, 3B, Milwaukee Brewers
ANALYSIS: Black was drafted out of Wright State in 2021 by the Brewers, and he was showing his elite plate discipline in High-A last year while trying new defensive positions when he fractured his scapula diving for a baseball.
He played well in the Arizona Fall League, setting him up to move to Double-A Biloxi to open 2023. Black has worked on his swing from the left side, adding to his leg kick and altering his swing path to generate more impact on the ball. Thus far, the results have been impressive, with a .208 ISO, far outpacing his .143 mark in 2022.
Black is still showing elite plate discipline, walking more than he's struck out on the season, but he has encountered a notable reduction in his BABIP with the swing alteration, leading to a .243 average.
VERDICT: Black seems to have found a defensive home at third base with quick hands and an adequate arm. His added power to go with his elite plate discipline could lead to him being a much more interesting fantasy player as well. While he's not a definite add in dynasty at the moment, he's made big strides that should be watched.
