Nick Frasso 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: Nick Frasso, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers
ANALYSIS: The Blue Jays selected Frasso in the fourth round out of Loyola Marymount. He ended up requiring Tommy John Surgery and returned to the mound in May of 2022, quickly working his way up to High-A before he was traded to the Dodgers in a deal to bring Mitch White to Toronto.
Frasso blossomed in the short time with the Dodgers' instruction, with his velocity bumping up to mid-90s, touching 98. He uses an above-average slider and a plus change to complete his offerings.
Those pitches from Frasso's cross-body delivery and big extension play up even further. This season, Frasso has posted a 1.01 ERA and 0.90 WHIP over 26 2/3 innings, with a sterling 36/5 K/BB ratio.
VERDICT: Frasso's raw stuff is incredibly impressive, but he's also in a system with a lot of pitching depth, including multiple young arms that are already on the 40-man. He should be rostered in deep dynasties, but you can likely still hold off until he hits Triple-A in shallow leagues.

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: The Nationals went viral on social media this week for making a fun call-up. They called up their bat dog from Triple-A. While this was very cute and should improve the vibes a little bit in Washington, I don't think Bruce the Bat Dog will help […]

BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Samuel Basallo might be the best hitter in the minors right now, and he has catcher eligibility. What more do you need to know (I know catcher is super deep this year, but still)? Basallo has been an age-to-level monster for the majority of his pro […]
Andrew Painter - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12-team leagues CALL-UP ETA: June ANALYSIS: Painter's last two starts don't give a ton of confidence that he is ready to be in the majors. It may not even be before the All-Star break before we see him, but that does not mean we are in stash territory. The good news is, […]
Colby Thomas - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Waiver Wire Stashes (Week 12)
BALLER MOVE: Add in 12+ team leagues CALL-UP ETA: July ANALYSIS: The A's continue to lose, and Colby Thomas continues to hit homers in Triple-A. The A's just got swept by the Angels, bringing their record to 26-44. While plays like Denzel Clarke's HR robbery can generate a spark for a team, the A's might need […]
