Edwin Arroyo a Must-Stash Prospect with Power and Speed
Cincinnati Reds shortstop Edwin Arroyo is having a fantastic season at the plate in Triple-A, and it seems like he's due for a promotion to the majors sooner rather than later. Through 51 games this year, he's slashing .332/.393/.567 with 10 home runs, nine steals, a 7.5% walk rate, a 14.9% strikeout rate, and 148 wRC+. His in-zone metrics have been phenomenal, including a 75.5% zone swing rate (89th percentile) and a 90.1% zone contact rate (87th percentile). He also ranks in the top one-third of Triple-A batters with an average exit velocity of 90.1 mph. Arroyo's blend of power and speed makes him a very intriguing prospect to stash in fantasy baseball, as we expect his home run and steal outbursts to continue at the major league level. We would be surprised if Arroyo doesn't get promoted to the majors in June, given how well he has hit all year long.
