Brant Hurter is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Brant Hurter, SP, Detroit Tigers
ANALYSIS: A big (6'6", 250 pounds) lefty out of Georgia Tech, Hurter was drafted by the Tigers in the seventh round in 2021. He was coming off a 2021 season that was a disappointment after an elite showing in 2019 before injury.
Hurter didn't pitch in his draft season, but he was absolutely dominant on the mound to open 2022, finishing the year in Double-A. Overall, he tossed 106 2/3 innings, with a 3.71 ERA, 1.13 WHIP, and a 136/21 K/BB.
Hurter returned to Double-A to open the 2023 season, and he's continued with his elite command of a low-90s fastball, a fringe-plus slider, and a fringe-average change. He pounds the zone with the fastball and slider and then uses his change to throw off right-handed hitters.
VERDICT: While Hurter has shown excellent results, his best attribute on the mound is his location. He's likely best suited as a backend starter or swingman type, but a guy like that from the left side can every so often take another slight step and become an inning-eater starter, so keep an eye on him.
