Matt Wilkinson 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: Matt Wilkinson, SP, Cleveland Guardians
CURRENT LEVEL: Single-A
2024 STATS: 4 G, 4 GS, 2-0, 20.2 IP, 0.44 ERA, 0.80 FIP, 17.85 K/9, 2.61 BB/9, 0.00 HR/9, 36.0% GB%, .240 BABIP
ANALYSIS: You can count all of Wilkinson's minor league appearances on one hand, but that doesn't detract from his excellence ever since the Guardians selected him in the 10th round of last year's draft. He gets plenty of spin on his fastball, which he commands quite well. He can also locate his slider and changeup, both of which are effective secondary offerings.

Wilkinson's big run in the minors technically started with a scoreless relief appearance last season when he struck out all three batters he faced. However, he's already seen much more action in 2024, remaining nearly unhittable through four phenomenal starts.
In his latest outing last week, Wilkinson tossed six hitless innings, surrendering just one walk while striking out 15 batters. The 270-pound southpaw nicknamed "Tugboat" might ride the wave to High-A sooner rather than later.
