Kaelen Culpepper a Top Prospect to Stash Amid Power Surge?
Minnesota Twins shortstop prospect Kaelen Culpepper has displayed impressive power lately, putting him on the fantasy radar as an intriguing minor leaguer to stash ahead of his anticipated MLB debut. Culpepper owns a modest .246/.336/.447 slash line with six homers, six steals, and 100 wRC+ in Triple-A this year, but lately he's been on a tear that will earn him some consideration for a promotion. Over his last five games, he's hitting 6-for-20 with three home runs, one double, six RBI, two walks, three strikeouts, and a stolen base. His EV50 of 94.6 mph ranks in the 88th percentile, and while he doesn't have the greatest plate discipline, he does a good job making contact and limiting whiffs. A former first-round pick, Culpepper now has 28 games of experience at Triple-A, plus 19 career at-bats against major league pitching in Spring Training. If he continues to produce impressive power, the Twins will be tempted to call him up for his MLB debut. As a result, he's an intriguing fantasy baseball option on the waiver wire.
