Top-5 Hitter Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash For Week 14 - Redraft Leagues (2025)

We had one big hitting promotion this past week as Tampa Bay Rays outfielder Chandler Simpson has been called up to the majors.

There are still several good prospects on the precipice of the majors ready to make a fantasy impact.

Let's look at a few top prospects to stash for Week 14 of the fantasy baseball season.

Be sure to check all of our fantasy baseball draft tools and resources:

 

Samuel Basallo, C/1B, Baltimore Orioles

Samuel Basallo is going to be my new "in this article every week until he gets called up prospect". However, while it was somewhat understandable that Nick Kurtz and Roman Anthony had their promotions delayed due to log jams at their positions at the major league level, there isn't really a good excuse for Basallo not to be in the majors right now.

While the Orioles seem to have thrown in the towel on their season, they have a golden opportunity to get Basallo some run at the major league level with Adley Rutschman on the IL, and they're not taking it.

Basallo is one of the best prospects in all of baseball (I ranked him third in my latest non-debuted prospect rankings). At only 20 years old, he is raking in Triple-A with a 151 WRC+ and 15 HRs already.

If Rutschman's injury doesn't push the Orioles to call up Basallo, there are some concerns that they could be holding him at Triple-A long enough to retain rookie eligibility next season so they can chase a PPI pick. That would be incredibly disappointing, but I guess it would be hard to be too shocked.

Whenever Basallo gets the call, he has the upside to be a starting-caliber fantasy catcher in all league formats.

 

Jordan Lawlar, 3B/SS, Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks are in a predicament right now. They don't have a horrible record at 41-39, but they have been bitten by the injury bug to say the least. Their star offseason signing, Corbin Burnes, had to get Tommy John surgery, as did their star closer, Justin Martinez.

Now, Corbin Carroll is out indefinitely with a fractured left wrist after being hit on the hand by a pitch. Do the Diamondbacks try to fight back in one of the toughest divisions in baseball, or do they start a soft sell in the coming weeks?

There has been speculation surrounding many Diamondbacks players drawing interest across the league, most notably Eugenio Suarez. One thing the Diamondbacks need to determine this season is whether Jordan Lawlar will be a major part of their future. Trading Suarez is one option for them to open up full-time playing time for Lawlar.

Both of Lawlar's short stints in the major leagues have been incredibly disappointing, as he has had a negative WRC+ both times. However, he's been incredibly productive in the minors again this season. He has a 137 WRC+ with 10 HRs and 18 SBs in Triple-A.

When Lawlar returns to the majors, I expect it'll be in a situation where he has a little bit of playing time runway. When that happens, he still has five-category upside. However, Lawlar tweaked his hamstring earlier in the week and was recently placed on the 7-day IL, which will slightly push back his return to the major leagues.

 

Harry Ford, C, Seattle Mariners

I'm cheating a little by including Harry Ford in this list, as there are reports that he will be heading to Seattle and added to the Mariners' taxi squad.

Harry Ford is an extremely exciting offensive catching prospect. However, there has been some uncertainty around the Mariners' plan for him, as they have a player behind the plate named Cal Raleigh.

Ford has produced at every stop in his professional career so far, as he has had at least a 130 WRC+ at every level. This year, he's maybe having his best season with a 135 WRC+ and eight HRs. He's also walking almost as much as he's striking out with a 15.5 percent BB-rate and a 17.0 percent K-rate.

Another exciting aspect of Ford's game is his impressive base-stealing skills. While he only has three SBs so far this season, he stole 35 last year in Double-A.

If Mitch Garver is injured, it should open up some playing time backing up Raleigh and playing DH. It's unclear how often Ford will be in the lineup, but since he's literally on the cusp of the majors, he's worth a speculative catcher as he can provide a lot of upside at catcher if he gets enough playing time.

Chase DeLauter, OF, Cleveland Guardians

Chase DeLauter has actually been healthy for a few weeks straight now (knock on wood), and he is doing Chase DeLauter things at Triple-A.

He has an incredibly impressive 161 WRC+ with three HRs and way more walks (18.8 percent) than strikeouts (11.9 percent). DeLauter has basically been productive whenever he's been on the field in his professional career. He's just struggled to stay on the field. The Guardians shouldn't let this window of healthy DeLauter be wasted in the minors much longer.

The Guardians' offense has been floundering almost all season, and they've gotten minimal offensive production from outfielders not named Steven Kwan. DeLauter should be able to provide some much-needed juice to their offense. When he gets the call, he should be a solid mid-deep league outfield option if he can stay healthy.

 

Kristian Campbell, 2B/SS/OF, Boston Red Sox

Kristian Campbell was arguably the best hitter in the minor leagues last year. If he were doing now what he did last year, he'd be at the top of every stash list. However, he has spent most of this season in the majors and has struggled, so now there's a bit of stink on him.

Last season, Campbell had a 178 WRC+ across High-A, Double-A, and Triple-A. He had 20 HRs and 24 SBs while having strong plate discipline. He struck out only 19.9 percent of the time while walking 14.3 percent of the time.

He flew up prospect lists at a rapid pace and did enough to be the one member of the Red Sox "Big Three" to break camp in the big leagues.

Campbell got off to an unbelievable start to his MLB career. If you'd told me at the end of April that he'd be back in the minors and I'd be writing about him for "Prospects to Stash", I wouldn't have believed you.

He had a 151 WRC+ in March and April. However, the rookie wall hit him like a ton of bricks as he had a -8 WRC+ in May. He started to pick it up a little in June as he had a 91 WRC+. However, he wasn't hitting well enough to justify still being in the majors, as he is also not a great defender at any of the positions the Red Sox have tried him at.

As I mentioned with other demoted star prospects, this is likely just a minor reset for Campbell. This is indicative of what the Orioles did with Jackson Holliday last year. The Red Sox will likely want him to get hot for a few weeks in Triple-A before bringing him back up to Boston.

Campbell has as much upside as any player in the minors. Like I said, if he had never been in the majors, everyone would be so excited about his upcoming promotion. Don't let a rough start to his major league career let you throw him away in fantasy. If he's available, he's a solid stash in medium-deep leagues.
