Andrew Cossetti is a fantasy baseball Catcher prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Andrew Cossetti, Catcher, Minnesota Twins
ANALYSIS: Cossetti is a talented catcher whose offensive ability has been on full display. After posting incredible numbers at the plate in college (St. Joseph's), the backstop has wasted no time transitioning his offensive skills to pro ball. Most notably, his 43 homers over four NCAA seasons set a program record.
While his bat is his calling card, the Twins are also optimistic about Cossetti's ability to develop defensively, and as of now, it looks like he should remain behind the dish long-term (rather than projecting as a first baseman or designated hitter).
This past week, Cossetti showed off the same offensive firepower that has wowed scouts for a while now. Through six games, he went 10-for-18 with three homers, 14 RBI, five walks, and three strikeouts. This is a phenomenal line in multiple regards, from his BB/K ratio above 1.0 to his ability to smash homers and drive in runs.
VERDICT: Cossetti's MLB debut may still be several years away, but it's not hard to imagine the ways in which he could eventually provide key value in fantasy baseball.

Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
