3 Impact Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash - Robby Snelling, Andrew Painter, Samuel Basallo

While Painter's last start was quite uninspiring, fantasy managers should not be overly concerned with his rest of the season outlook. In this outing, the right-hander allowed five hits and five earned runs across four innings of work against Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. He walked four hitters and only struck out four.

Despite the poor results on the stat sheet, seeing Painter continue to work out his struggles is what fantasy managers need to see. There is no doubt about his talent. The only concern we have with Painter is his ability to take on a larger workload, especially after he underwent Tommy John and was shut down for two full seasons.

Before this rough showing, Painter logged at least five innings in each of his first five starts, and even went six innings deep in each of them. During these two outings, where he logged at least six innings, Painter held a strong 2.19 ERA with a stellar 1.05 WHIP.

Overall, through his first 72 innings at the top level of the Philadelphia system, the former first-round pick has posted a 4.88 ERA with a 1.42 WHIP. During this stretch, he has struck out 71 hitters. Before moving up to Triple-A, Painter was sent on a brief rehab assignment at Low-A, where he struck out 12 hitters across 11 1/3 innings of work.

With the Phillies in the heat of the playoff race, Painter should be in the mix in the coming weeks to strengthen their organization. Despite his inconsistency at Triple-A, he will be a must-start pitcher when he gets the call due to his strikeout upside alone. Fantasy managers in 12-team formats should continue to view Painter as the top pitching prospect to stash.

I haven't discussed him in this article in a few weeks, so I figured it was time to check in on Basallo, and to the surprise of no one, Basallo is still mashing for Triple-A Norfolk. Over his last 16 games, Basallo has racked up nine doubles, seven home runs, and a whopping 28 RBI while slashing .353/.421/.794. For the season, Basallo is now up to 17 doubles and 23 home runs in 73 games with a .279/.384/.612 slash line.

The power that Basallo possesses is truly elite, and he's shown that all season with a 94.4 mph AVG EV, 57.2% hard-hit rate, and a 21.4% barrel rate. The 69.7% contact rate is a tad low, but not terrible given Basallo's level of impact. With Mountcastle back from the IL and Coby Mayo showing signs of life, there's still no open spot for Basallo right now, though.

That duo, plus Adley Rutschman, are currently occupying the first base, catcher, and designated hitter spots in Baltimore.

The Baltimore prospect who I actually believe has a higher percent chance of getting called up is Dylan Beavers, who is slashing .305/.422/.526 with 14 doubles, 18 home runs, 22 steals, and nearly as many walks (66) as strikeouts (69) in 399 plate appearances. It shouldn't be overly difficult for Beavers to break into the uninspiring outfield trio of Greg Allen, Jeremiah Jackson, and Dylan Carlson.
