Michael Busch is a fantasy baseball 2B prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Michael Busch, 2B, Los Angeles Dodgers
ANALYSIS: Is the third time going to be the charm with Michael Busch? The former first-round pick has already had two separate stints with the Dodgers this season, but couldn't secure regular playing time in either of them. With the Dodgers recently sending Miguel Vargas down to Triple-A after struggling basically all season, it wouldn't be surprising to see Busch get recalled to take over at second base coming out of the All-Star break.
Busch has been hitting well all season in Triple-A, especially since the beginning of June. In his eight June games before his promotion to the Dodgers, Busch racked up 16 hits including 10 extra-base hits and four home runs. In 10 games since he was sent back down in late June, Busch is hitting .290 with a .711 SLG, four home runs, and more walks (11) than strikeouts (6).
VERDICT: His blend of power and OBP would be enticing for fantasy purposes if he's given a shot to start regularly for the Dodgers.
