Top-5 Hitter Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash For Week 19 - Redraft Leagues (2025)

Jordan Lawlar - Fantasy Baseball Prospects, Draft Sleepers, MLB Rookies

Kevin Luo's top hitter fantasy baseball prospects to stash for Week 19 (2025). His MLB prospects to pick up and stash on your bench and N/A spots in redraft leagues.

Wow- what an exciting trade deadline we just had. With all of the moving pieces, there are now quite a few playing time vacancies across the majors.

Will these vacancies be filled by any of the top prospects near the majors? With a lot of these top prospects, we've been waiting for weeks, if not months, for them to get an opportunity to play at the big league level.

Let's look at a few top prospects to stash for Week 19 of the fantasy baseball season.

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

 

Samuel Basallo, C/1B - Baltimore Orioles

The Orioles traded Ryan O'Hearn to the Padres, so we are officially on Samuel Basallo watch. When the Orioles refused to call him up after their barrage of catcher injuries, I predicted this would be the move that would create the opportunity in Baltimore for Basallo at first base and DH.

This is a lost year for the Orioles, so they should want to give their young talent as much opportunity as possible to get them ready to help them compete next season.

Basallo is one of the top prospects in all of baseball. He's done nothing but hit in his major league career, and that has continued this season at Triple-A. He's still only 20 years old and has a 154 WRC+ with 20 HRs. He has impressive power along with a very advanced approach at the plate.

While it looks like Basallo won't actually play much catcher, that might be better for his fantasy appeal this season. When he gets the call, he should be viewed as a starting-caliber catcher in all formats.

 

Dylan Beavers, OF, Baltimore Orioles

Speaking of the Orioles, along with potentially opening up a spot for Basallo, they traded away two outfielders in Cedric Mullins and Ramon Laureano. Presumably, one of these spots should go to Dylan Beavers. Beavers is 23 and doesn't have much left to prove in the minor leagues.

I've not been the highest on Beavers in the past, but he has really impressed me this season. He has a 150 WRC+ this season with 14 HRs and 21 SBs. He's also walking (15.6 percent) almost as often as he's striking out (17.3 percent).

Beavers is an interesting deep league add who will have some appeal in more leagues if he does get an everyday role in Baltimore due to his impressive plate approach and power-speed upside.

 

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

To the dismay of many Bostonians, the Red Sox were pretty quiet at the trade deadline. There were some speculating that the Red Sox would try to acquire one of the first basemen on the market, either Josh Naylor or Yandy Diaz. However, they didn't do much to bolster their offense.

Could that be because they think Kristian Campbell could be back in the majors soon and manning first base? Like some other top prospects struggling at the big league level, Campbell was sent back to Triple-A earlier this season to reset and regain his confidence.

Campbell has not set the world on fire at Triple-A as he has a 130 WRC+ with a 28.6 percent K-rate, both marks worse than his stint at Triple-A last season. However, he has been hot as of late.

I imagine the Red Sox will want Campbell back in Boston soon. When he gets called up, we've seen what he can do when things are clicking, as he had a 149 WRC+ in March and April. Perhaps he'll get hot again after this reset in Triple-A.

 

Jordan Lawlar, SS/3B, Arizona Diamondbacks

The Diamondbacks were one of the biggest sellers at the trade deadline. They moved Josh Naylor and Eugenio Suarez. They received Tyler Locklear from the Mariners in the Suarez trade, who should take over at first for Naylor, and Suarez's spot at third should be going to Jordan Lawlar when he returns from his injury.

This has been an extremely disappointing season in Arizona, but if Lawlar can finally show some potential at the big league level, that will be a small win for the Diamondbacks, so I think Lawlar will get the full runway of playing time even if he struggles early on.

Lawlar has obviously been incredibly disappointing so far in his big league career with a negative WRC+ in each of his short stints. However, he's never gotten a real opportunity to play.

Lawlar remains a very exciting prospect for fantasy, having just turned 23 and already put up excellent numbers at Triple-A. He has a 136 WRC+ with 10 HRs and 18 SBs this season and had a 143 and 149 WRC+ at the Triple-A level in each of the last two seasons, respectively.

Lawlar is currently on a rehab assignment, and when he's deemed ready by the big league club, he still has the upside to be a five-category contributor.

 

Justin Crawford, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

The Phillies were very aggressive at the trade deadline, most notably trading for Jhoan Duran. However, they didn't add an impact outfielder (sorry, Harrison Bader- you are not an impact outfielder) and didn't trade Justin Crawford. That must mean they think Crawford can be an impact outfielder for them this season.

I've said this before about Crawford, but his profile resembles what you'd expect from Carl Crawford's son. He has an excellent hit tool and will steal a lot of bases. He has 33 SBs this season at Triple-A and had 42 last season. He also has a 127 WRC+ this season at Triple-A.

You're not going to get much power from Crawford as he only has three HRs this season and he hits the ball on the ground... a lot. He has a 61.8 percent ground-ball rate this season and has been over 60 percent at most stops along his minor league career.

If you are looking for someone to provide a Chandler Simpson-esque impact to your fantasy team, Crawford might be your man.
