Yohandy Morales Stays Hot, Emerges as a Top Hitter to Stash

Washington Nationals corner infield prospect Yohandy Morales continues to rake for Triple-A Rochester, collecting at least two hits in four of his last five contests, raising his season-long slash line to a sizzling .355/.431/.587 with 10 home runs. The Nats' 28th-ranked prospect hit well at Double-A last season, but batted just .249 with a 30.3 […]


Is Gage Jump a Priority Pickup Ahead of Tuesday's MLB Debut?

Athletics pitching prospect Gage Jump has been called up from Triple-A Las Vegas and will start on Tuesday at home against the Mariners. The start will be his major league debut after making nine starts for the Aviators this season. The Athletics' third-ranked prospect's season-long numbers don't look all that impressive (4.50 ERA, 1.47 WHIP), […]


Jack Wenninger Still a Stash Option After Rough Outing?

New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger could still be the next pitcher in line for a promotion when the team needs to fill a rotation spot despite turning in his worst outing of the season in his latest start. The Mets' fifth-ranked prospect carried a sterling 1.51 ERA into Sunday's start for Triple-A Syracuse, […]


Cole Carrigg a High-End Stash Option with Stolen Base Upside

Colorado Rockies outfield prospect Cole Carrigg has been a consistent producer all season at Triple-A Albuquerque, reaching base via hit or walk in 43 of his 47 games played. The Rockies' sixth-ranked prospect's season slash line stands at a robust .358/.424/.551 with five home runs, while his speed has helped him to five triples (second-most […]


Jett Williams Remains a Stash Target with Multi-Category Potential

Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams has hit safely in nine of his last 12 games, going 13-for-45 (.289) over that stretch with three doubles, two triples, and two home runs, upping his season-long slash line to .247/.411/.578. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect also has 11 steals for Triple-A Nashville and is boasting a 14.0 percent […]


Promotion Nearing for Charlie Condon With Open Role on MLB Roster?

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon's major-league debut could be right around the corner, as the former third overall draft pick is in the midst of a seven-game hitting streak, during which time he's gone 9-for-28 (.321), including four doubles and a home run. Not only that, but Rockies first baseman TJ Rumfield exited […]

Projecting Rest of Season Top 10 Hitters in 2026 Fantasy Baseball

We're nearly two months into the baseball season, and as usual, there are superstars off to slow starts, superstars off to terrific starts, rookies who are surprisingly productive, highly regarded prospects falling flat, post-hype players finally breaking out, and players getting injured, leaving us with a current top 10 that could look very different by […]

Hitter Fantasy Baseball Breakouts - Risers to Watch and Waiver Wire Outlooks (Week 9)

Welcome back to my Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters article for Week 9 of the 2026 MLB regular season. The focus of this column is to highlight players who could be breaking out, taking a look at current active hitting streaks along with recent leaders in batting average, isolated power (ISO), stolen bases, and more. Some […]


Pedro Ramirez Emerging as a Strong Stash Candidate

Chicago Cubs infield/outfield prospect Pedro Ramirez has methodically climbed the team's minor league ladder, finally landing at Triple-A this season and showing that the steady progress has paid off. The Cubs' second-ranked prospect is hitting .312 through 43 games so far this season, and a 10.7 percent walk rate has helped him to a strong […]


Is Aidan Miller Worth Stashing Amid Rehab Progress?

Philadelphia Phillies shortstop prospect Aidan Miller (back) is beginning to make some progress in his return from a lower back issue that has kept him out of all regular-season games so far this year. The Phils' top-ranked prospect dealt with the issue late in 2025, and it has lingered into 2026, but he's finally begun […]


Kevin Alcantara a Must-Stash for Home Run Upside

Chicago Cubs outfield prospect Kevin Alcantara continues to show intriguing power potential for the Iowa Cubs, belting his Triple-A-leading 15th home run on Wednesday. The 6-foot-6 slugger has reached base safely via hit or walk in 20 straight games, during which time he's gone 22-for-80 (.275), pushing his season average to .245 with a .909 […]


Jett Williams a Top Stash Option with Versatility, Multi-Category Potential

Milwaukee Brewers infield/outfield prospect Jett Williams is heating up again at Triple-A Nashville, going 10-for-28 (.357) over his last eight games, with three doubles, two triples, two home runs, and a stolen base, along with an 8:9 BB:K over that span. The Brewers' third-ranked prospect is now slashing .254/.380/.420, with a strong 15.1 percent walk […]


James Tibbs III Still a Top Hitter to Stash Amid Hot Stretch

Los Angeles Dodgers outfield prospect James Tibbs III has been a streaky hitter so far in 2026, and right now, he's on a hot streak. The Dodgers' 10th-ranked prospect is 10-for-21 (.476) with a pair of doubles and a triple over his last six games. The former first-rounder has also shown an incredible eye during […]


Jack Wenninger Worth Stashing Ahead of Potential MLB Debut?

New York Mets pitching prospect Jack Wenninger could be next in line the next time the team needs to fill a rotation spot. The organization went with Zach Thornton on Wednesday to fill the void left by the injury to Clay Holmes (fibula), with the southpaw lasting just 4 1/3 innings after piling up 80 […]


Thomas White Emerging as Top Pitching Prospect to Stash?

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White was scratched from his Wednesday start "for precautionary reasons," leading many to speculate that his call-up to the majors is imminent. No official promotion has happened, but starting pitcher Braxton Garrett was optioned to Triple-A on Wednesday, which could pave the way for White's debut. White was already considered […]


Luis Lara's Arrow Pointing Up, Emerging as a Top Hitter to Stash

Milwaukee Brewers outfield prospect Luis Lara stayed hot on Tuesday, going 2-for-4 with a walk and a stolen base for Triple-A Nashville. He's now produced five multi-hit efforts in his last eight games, going 13-for-29 (.448) during that time, with more walks (10) than strikeouts (six) and four steals to boot. It has raised the […]


Kade Anderson Still a Must-Stash After Rough Outing?

Seattle Mariners pitching prospect Kade Anderson was the third-overall selection in last year's MLB Draft, which comes with some high expectations, but the southpaw has exceeded even that lofty outlook early on. The LSU product has struck out 51 batters in just 34 innings pitched (13.5 K/9), walking only 4.0 percent of batters he's faced […]


Max Clark Biding His Time Until Call-Up, Remains High-End Hitter Stash

Detroit Tigers outfield prospect Max Clark has remained a steady bat at Triple-A Toledo, currently riding a seven-game hit streak, going 9-for-33 (.273) with a pair of doubles, two walks, one steal, nine runs scored, and four RBI over that stretch. During this run, he's struck out just six times, which is 17.1 percent, right […]


Edwin Arroyo an Intriguing Stash Option as MLB Debut Looms

Cincinnati Reds infield prospect Edwin Arroyo owns the seventh-highest batting average of all Triple-A players with at least 30 games played, currently sitting at .345 after a sizzling start to the season. The Reds' third-ranked prospect is doing a bit of everything this season, slugging a whopping .592, drawing walks at an 8.8 percent rate […]


Joshua Baez Closing in on Debut After Recent Home Run Barrage?

St. Louis Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez remains one of the top hitters to stash on fantasy rosters, given his proximity to the majors and his power upside. The Cards' third-ranked prospect has homered in four of his last seven contests at Triple-A Memphis, giving him 11 on the year while slugging .484. The former […]


Hagen Smith's Strikeout Potential Warrants Stash Consideration

Chicago White Sox pitching prospect Hagen Smith struck out another six batters in his latest start at Triple-A and allowed just one earned run on two hits, but his command issue reared it's head again, with the southpaw walking five batters, resulting in an exit after only 3 2/3 innings pitched (75 pitches). Chicago's fourth-ranked […]


On the Doorstep to Majors, George Lombard Jr. Enters Stash Conversation

New York Yankees shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr.'s bat has cooled since being greeted by Triple-A pitching, going just 9-for-59 (.153) without a single extra-base hit over his first 16 games at that level. On the bright side, the Yankees' top-ranked prospect has shown a supremely keen eye, drawing 17 walks (21.8 percent) compared to […]


Braden Montgomery Entering Must-Stash Territory with Performance at Triple-A

Chicago White Sox outfield prospect Braden Montgomery has appeared unfazed by his transition to Triple-A pitching, going 15-for-50 (.300) over his first 12 games, with three doubles, two home runs, and a stolen base thus far. A 26.8 percent strikeout rate is on the high side, but mostly unchanged from the 25.4 percent rate he […]


Homerless Drought Continues for Charlie Condon, Still a Stash Option?

Colorado Rockies corner infield/outfield prospect Charlie Condon continues to tread water at Triple-A Albuquerque, collecting a hit in eight of his last 10 games but going just 9-for-42 (.214) over that span with a 36.2 percent strikeout rate. The former third-overall draft pick has a superb 19.7 percent chase rate (88th percentile) that's allowed him […]


Kaelen Culpepper a Must-Stash as Debut Draws Closer

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper has heated up with the weather, now riding a 13-game on-base streak that began on May 1, during which time he's gone 16-for-55 (.291) with four doubles, four home runs, and four steals. Furthermore, the Twins' second-ranked prospect has walked (10) nearly as many times as he's struck out […]

Hitter Fantasy Baseball Breakouts - Risers to Watch and Waiver Wire Outlooks (Week 8)

Welcome back to my Fantasy Baseball Breakout Hitters article for Week 8 of the 2026 MLB regular season. The focus of this column is to highlight players who could be breaking out, taking a look at current active hitting streaks along with recent leaders in batting average, isolated power (ISO), stolen bases, and more. Some […]


Emmanuel Rodriguez Worth Stashing Amid Injured List Stint?

Minnesota Twins outfield prospect Emmanuel Rodriguez (thumb) hasn't played in a game since May 1 after suffering a muscle strain in his thumb, but could be back on the field in the coming weeks. Before hitting the injured list at Triple-A St. Paul, the Twins' fourth-ranked prospect was showing well, hitting .247 with six home […]


Thomas White Primed for Call-Up the Next Time Marlins Need an Arm?

Miami Marlins pitching prospect Thomas White could be the next man up when a rotation spot opens up after the recently promoted Robby Snelling (elbow) hit the injured list with a UCL sprain after one start, with the team recalling Braxton Garrett for Thursday's start against the Twins. White is not on the 40-man roster, […]


Colt Emerson Making a Push for Big-League Debut, Remains a Top Hitter to Stash

Seattle Mariners infield prospect Colt Emerson stayed hot on Wednesday, clubbing his seventh home run of the season and collecting four RBI in a 2-for-5 day at the plate. The Mariners' top-ranked prospect is slashing .300/.333/.520 in 11 games in May, and owns a .257/.342/.478 slash line for the season with seven home runs and […]


Kaelen Culpepper Enjoying a Hot May, Nearing a Promotion to the Majors?

Minnesota Twins infield prospect Kaelen Culpepper weathered a 3-for-27 (.111) slump at the end of April, but has since turned it around, going 13-for-43 (.302) with three doubles, three home runs, and three steals so far in May (10 games). The Twins' second-ranked prospect is now slashing a respectable .253/.345/.460 with eight home runs and […]
