Chase Hampton 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: Chase Hampton, SP, New York Yankees
ANALYSIS: Hampton finished his collegiate career at Texas Tech with a big 12-strikeout game against Notre Dame before the Yankees picked him in the sixth round last summer. The Yankees had the 6'2" righty work with coaches on his delivery rather than heading out to make his pro debut last season.
The work allowed Hampton to unlock a couple of additional ticks in his velocity, now sitting 94-97 with four offspeed offerings – a slider, curve, change, and cutter – all of which are average to above average. As he improves his control with his adjusted delivery and better feel with his pitches, his stuff becomes even more difficult to hit.
After dominating High-A Hudson Valley (77 strikeouts in 47 innings), Hampton is becoming a better overall pitcher since his bump up to Double-A, with better control and command while still striking out just shy of 30% of hitters.
VERDICT: Hampton has taken a similar path to Will Warren, but he may have actually passed by Warren in starter-quality stuff. He's on the cusp of a must-own in deep dynasties, but right now he's a wait in more shallow dynasty leagues until he's had longer success at Double-A.
