Gavin Stone 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: Gavin Stone, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers
ANALYSIS: In three starts since being optioned back down to Triple-A, Gavin Stone has pitched to the tune of a 3.18 ERA, 1.00 WHIP, 2.9% walk rate, and a 26.5% strikeout rate. Walks had started becoming an issue for Stone during May and early-June with a 17.3% walk rate over a five-start stretch from May 9th to June 3rd, so it's nice to see him get that back under control.
Stone looked especially good during his last outing, recording a 38% whiff rate and 34% CSW. With neither Emmet Sheehan or Michael Grove pitching well in the Major League rotation, I'm expecting the Dodgers to bring Stone back up sooner rather than later.
VERDICT: Stone isn't a high-priority stash right now, and I would only consider doing so in deeper leagues. However, I still believe that Stone can carve out some fantasy value once he's back up. Don't be surprised if we see Landon Knack soon either who has allowed just two runs combined in his last three starts (15 innings) in Triple-A.
