Three top fantasy baseball prospects - Charlie Condon, Seaver King, Luis Lara - that can make big impacts. These MLB prospects are waiver wire pickups or stashes.
In the first half, managers have seen firsthand the importance of stashing prospects as players like Gage Jump, Henry Bolte, and Sam Antonacci have provided high-end upside since earning the call.
Below, we will spotlight three of the hottest-hitting prospects at the Triple-A level and determine if managers should stash them ahead of Week 15.

Charlie Condon, OF, Colorado Rockies
Current Level: AAA
Availability: 5% rostered
2026 AAA Stats: 72 G, .293/.418/.612, 152B, 20 HR, 5 SB
There aren't many hotter hitters in the minor leagues than Charlie Condon right now. Over his last 19 games, Condon has blasted 19 extra-base hits and 12 home runs with a .411/.506/1.068 slash line.
Charlie Condon showed off his patented power with his second two-homer game in 16 days for the @ABQTopes.
It's been a hot month for the @Rockies' No. 2 prospect (MLB No. 70), who leads Triple-A with 30 RBIs in June: https://t.co/PhC75oBlQr pic.twitter.com/13yOCzBG2m

For the season, Condon is now up to 41 extra-base hits and 20 home runs in 72 Triple-A games with a .293/.418/.612 slash line. Condon has been hitting the ball hard all season, but especially in June, when he has a 91.5 mph AVG EV, 51.7% hard-hit rate, and a 13.3% barrel rate, while making contact at a 76.7% clip. At this point, it wouldn't surprise me if Condon mashed his way into the Colorado lineup within the next few weeks.

Seaver King, SS, Washington Nationals
Current Level: AAA
Availability: 5% rostered
2026 AAA Stats: 32 G, .277/.340/.446, 5 2B, 5 HR, 4 SB
Speaking of fantasy-friendly profiles, Seaver King certainly fits into that bucket. King dominated in Double-A over 35 games, earning a promotion in late May to Triple-A. Overall, King has racked up 15 doubles, four triples, 10 home runs, and nine steals in 313 plate appearances with a .310/.390/.528 slash line. He's also walking at a 9.9% clip while striking out in just 19.7% of his plate appearances.
Outside of a higher 39.2% chase rate, King's metrics have looked impressive during his time in Triple-A. He's currently running an 87% zone contact rate and 76.4% overall contact rate with a 47% hard-hit rate, 10.2% barrel rate, and a 103.6 mph 90th percentile EV.
King could wind up as a 15-20 homer bat who exceeds 20 steals annually while hitting for a decent average as well. Given his ability to play multiple infield positions, I'd expect him to be up with Washington within the next month or so if he keeps hitting well.

Luis Lara, OF, Milwaukee Brewers
Current Level: AAA
Availability: 5% rostered
2026 AAA Stats: 75 G, .326/.435/.460, 10 2B, 7 HR, 22 SB
Luis Lara made headlines a couple of weeks ago with his $31 million, 7-year contract extension with the Brewers. That clearly shows Milwaukee believes in him, and it further opened the door to a possible imminent promotion. They followed a similar path with fellow prospect Cooper Pratt, who signed an extension in April and finally made his debut over the past couple of weeks.
The extension was certainly deserved for Lara, who holds a .326/.435/.460 across 75 Triple-A contests. He's been especially good as of late, including a five-hit effort on June 23rd and another three-hit game on June 26th.

He doesn't hit the ball extremely hard but manages to put it in play often, with an excellent 13.7% strikeout rate and 15.4% whiff rate. He's also great at drawing walks, with a 15.2% walk rate that is higher than his strikeout rate. That's extremely impressive to do, especially for a 21-year-old at the highest level of the minor leagues.
The Brewers currently have Garrett Mitchell manning center field with Sal Frelick in a platoon in right field, and it's not too crazy to think that Lara would give them a better chance at winning if he replaced either of them in the outfield. Frelick, especially, who has an abysmal .628 OPS on the season, may be running out of time to deserve regular at-bats in that lineup.
While the lack of power wouldn't make the youngster a must-add in shallow three-outfielder points leagues, his speed and plate discipline would make him an asset in Roto or five-outfielder leagues. While it wouldn't come with a completely game-changing upside that's worth stashing way ahead of time, be ready to add him as soon as a promotion seems imminent.
