Drew Gilbert - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Drew Gilbert, OF, Houston Astros ANALYSIS: When the Astros selected Drew Gilbert in the first round last summer out of the University of Tennessee, many thought it was a perfect organizational fit. Gilbert was the team leader for the Vols, on the field and emotionally. Gilbert hit very well in his pro debut, working […]

Yanquiel Fernandez - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Yanquiel Fernandez, OF, Colorado Rockies ANALYSIS: The Rockies signed Yanquiel Fernandez out of the Dominican Republic in 2019. Because of the pandemic, he didn't debut until 2021. He's done nothing but hit ever since. The 6'2" lefty-swinging outfielder can generate impressive raw power and has hammered 49 career minor league home runs over 240 […]

Jonatan Clase - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jonatan Clase, OF, Seattle Mariners ANALYSIS: The Mariners signed Jonatan Clase out of the Dominican Republic in 2018. The diminutive switch-hitting outfielder (5'9", 150 pounds listed) had a strong debut in the DSL in 2019, slashing .300/.434/.444 with 31 steals. After the pandemic season, Clase struggled to make the same consistent contact, posting a […]

Lawrence Butler - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Lawrence Butler, OF, Oakland Athletics ANALYSIS: The A's drafted Butler out of high school in Georgia in the sixth round of the 2018 draft. One of the youngest players in the 2018 draft, Butler struggled in his full-season debut in 2019 before losing the pandemic season. He came out of the pandemic with adjustments […]


Padres Draft Dillon Head With The 25th Pick

The San Diego Padres selected an elite athlete with the 25th pick in the first round out of high school in Illinois by taking outfielder Dillon Head. Head has elite raw speed and will need development on the rest of his tools, but he fits the profile of what the Padres have selected of late. […]


Braves Nab Hurston Waldrep At Pick No. 24

The Atlanta Braves ended the slide for University of Florida starting pitcher Hurston Waldrep, picking him with the 24th pick of the first round of the MLB Draft. Waldrep transferred to Florida this season after a pair of years at Southern Miss. His split-finger pitch is considered by many as the best secondary pitch in […]


Guardians Pick Ralphy Velazquez No. 23 Overall

The Cleveland Guardians selected one of the strongest high-school hitters in the entire draft class, picking California prep Ralphy Velazquez with the 23rd overall pick in the MLB draft Sunday. Velasquez was nominally a catcher, but the defense is a concern. He has a fringe plus arm that could work if moved to an outfield […]


Mariners Select Colt Emerson With The No. 22 Overall Pick

With the draft held in Seattle during All-Star weekend, the Seattle Mariners drew the biggest cheer as they made the 22nd overall selection, their first of five on the first night. With the pick, they selected Ohio high school shortstop Colt Emerson. Emerson becomes the first Ohio high school position player drafted in the first […]


Cardinals Pick Outfielder Chase Davis In MLB Draft

The St. Louis Cardinals picked University of Arizona outfielder Chase Davis with the 21st overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft. The Wildcat struggled with strikeouts in 2022, but in 2023, he put together his impressive tool package, slashing .362/.489/.742 with 21 home runs, and he walked more than he struck out. Davis is a […]


Jacob Gonzalez Picked 15th By White Sox

The Chicago White Sox selected University of Mississippi shortstop Jacob Gonzalez with the 15th pick of the 2023 MLB Draft. Gonzalez was the national freshman of the year in 2021 and then led Ole Miss to a College World Series title in 2022. Mississippi fell off big this year, but Gonzalez improved his overall game, […]


Red Sox Pick Catcher Kyle Teel In MLB Draft

The Boston Red Sox drafted catcher Kyle Teel from the University of Virginia with the 14th pick of the first round of the 2023 MLB draft. Teel withdrew from the 2020 draft as a high school player as he was dedicated to his commitment to Virginia. Teel is widely considered the top available college catcher […]


Matt Shaw Selected By Cubs With 13th Pick

The Chicago Cubs drafted University of Maryland shortstop Matt Shaw with the 13th selection in the 2023 MLB draft. Shaw draws a lot of comparisons to former Maryland infielder Brandon Lowe, now with the Rays. Shaw was the Cape Cod MVP last summer before hitting .341/.445/.697 for the Terrapins with 24 home runs and 18 […]


Diamondbacks Draft Tommy Troy With 12th Pick

The Arizona Diamondbacks selected Stanford infielder Tommy Troy with the 12th selection in the 2023 MLB draft. Troy becomes the first Stanford player drafted in the first round since Nico Hoerner and Kris Bubic were both selected in the 2018 first round. Troy posted a balanced line in 2023, with a .394/.478/.699 slash line. He […]


Angels Draft Nolan Schanuel With 11th Pick In MLB Draft

The Los Angeles Angels picked Florida Atlantic's Nolan Schanuel with the 11th overall pick in the 2023 MLB draft. Schanuel becomes the highest draft pick from Florida Atlantic in its history, besting C.J. Chatham, who was selected 51st overall in 2016. Schanuel is an elite hitter that profiles best at first base, but he could […]


Noble Meyer Picked 10th Overall By Marlins

The Miami Marlins selected right-handed pitcher Noble Meyer with the 10th selection in the 2023 MLB draft. Meyer is an Oregon high school player who was committed to the University of Oregon. Meyer has topped 100 MPH multiple times in his high school career, and he has a slider that is among the best in […]


Rockies Pick Chase Dollander Ninth Overall

The Colorado Rockies drafted University of Tennessee starting pitcher Chase Dollander with the ninth selection in the 2023 MLB draft. Dollander transferred to Tennessee from Georgia Southern before the 2022 season and had a tremendous year, earning the SEC pitcher of the year. His location was not as strong this season, and he finished with […]


Royals Pick Blake Mitchell Eighth Overall In MLB Draft

The Kansas City Royals selected Texas high school catcher Blake Mitchell with the eighth pick in the first round of the 2023 MLB draft. Mitchell was committed to national champion Louisiana State, but is most likely headed into the Royals system, where he could be the eventual player to take over behind the plate for […]


Reds Draft Wake Forest Pitcher Rhett Lowder

The Cincinnati Reds drafted right-handed Wake Forest starting pitcher Rhett Lowder with the seventh selection in the first round of the 2023 MLB draft. Lowder had an elite season with Wake Forest, going 15-0 with a 1.87 ERA and 0.94 in 2023 with 143 strikeouts over 120 1/3 innings, capped by a head-to-head matchup with […]


Jacob Wilson Taken Sixth Overall By A's In 2023 Draft

Grand Canyon University shortstop Jacob Wilson was selected by the Oakland Athletics with the sixth pick in the 2023 MLB draft. Wilson is the son of former MLB shortstop Jack Wilson. He is widely considered to have the best eye and contact skills at the draft, and like his father, he's an elite defender at […]


Twins Pick Walker Jenkins With Fifth Pick In 2023 Draft

The Minnesota Twins moved into the top five in the 2023 MLB draft due to the draft lottery moving them up, and they benefitted and selected North Carolina high school outfielder Walker Jenkins. Jenkins was the North Carolina Gatorade player of the year the past two seasons and was committed to the University of North […]


Wyatt Langford Selected Fourth Overall In MLB Draft

The Texas Rangers selected University of Florida outfielder Wyatt Langford with the fourth selection in the 2023 MLB draft. Langford was a 2-time All-American with the Gators, producing a .373/.498/.784 line with 21 home runs this season and a career line of .363/.471/.746 with 47 home runs among 90 career extra-base hits. Langford profiles as […]


Tigers Select Max Clark Third Overall In MLB Draft

The Detroit Tigers selected the Gatorade National Player of the Year in Indiana high school outfielder Max Clark. Clark has elite raw talent, with plus grades on his speed and defense, and he has impressive raw hitting ability as well. Clark was a Vanderbilt commit. Clark showed out in the biggest moments during his high […]


Nationals Select Dylan Crews With Second Pick In MLB Draft

The Washington Nationals selected the top-ranked player on nearly every MLB draft board, selecting Louisiana State outfielder Dylan Crews. Crews originally withdrew from the 2020 draft to go to college and won a College World Series title with the Tigers this year as he won the Golden Spikes Award and was a 3-time All-American in […]


Pirates Select Paul Skenes First Overall In 2023 MLB Draft

The Pittsburgh Pirates won the first-ever draft lottery in order to get the top overall selection in the 2023 draft. With the top pick, they picked Paul Skenes, a 6'6" right-handed pitcher that transferred into Louisiana State and led the Tigers to the 2023 College World Series title. Skenes dominated college this year, winning the […]

Kyle Manzardo - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Kyle Manzardo, 1B, Tampa Bay Rays ANALYSIS: When the Rays selected Kyle Manzardo with their second-round pick in 2021 out of Washington State, his ability to make contact was not in question. But many were not sure if he would have enough power to work as a first baseman. In his first full season […]


fantasy baseball prospects MLB prospects rookies call-ups

Heston Kjerstad - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Heston Kjerstad, OF, Baltimore Orioles ANALYSIS: Many thought the Orioles jumped the gun by selecting Heston Kjerstad second overall in 2020 out of Arkansas, but his power potential was arguably the best of any hitter in the draft. Unfortunately, Kjerstad was diagnosed with myocarditis and missed the entire 2021 season. Kjerstad missed the start […]


fantasy baseball prospects MLB prospects rookies call-ups

Brady House - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Brady House, 3B, Washington Nationals ANALYSIS: The 2021 draft was known for elite high school shortstops in the class. Nine prep shortstops were selected in the first round, including three in the top 11, with Brady House coming in as the 11th selection to the Nationals. House came out and exploded on the scene […]

Harry Ford - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Harry Ford, C, Seattle Mariners ANALYSIS: Known for his exceptional athleticism coming out of high school in Georgia, Harry Ford was a big-time riser in the 2021 draft, going to the Mariners with the 12th overall selection. While he's played well in the minors thus far, he got plenty of notice for his play […]

Justin Crawford - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Justin Crawford, OF, Philadelphia Phillies ANALYSIS: Justin Crawford was drafted in the first round last season by the Phillies with some significant marks in his favor in his background. First, he was a "legacy" player, as his father is former four-time All-Star Carl Crawford. He also attended Bishop Gorman High School, which has produced former […]

Jackson Chourio - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

PROSPECT: Jackson Chourio, OF, Milwaukee Brewers ANALYSIS: Jackson Chourio will take part in his second Futures Game after getting the nod last season during a monster breakout campaign that saw him accelerate through both A-ball levels and to Double-A by the end of the season. He finished the season with a .288/.342/.538 slash line across […]
