Top-5 Hitter Fantasy Baseball Prospects To Stash For Week 24 - Redraft Leagues (2025)

Justin Crawford - Fantasy Baseball Rankings, Draft Sleepers, MLB Prospects

Kevin Luo's top hitter fantasy baseball prospects to stash for Week 24 (2025). His MLB prospects to pick up and stash on your bench and N/A spots in redraft leagues.

We are in September. Rosters have expanded, and prospects will not lose their rookie eligibility if they are called up to the majors. Any of these top prospects could seemingly be called up on a whim by their teams. We just saw a few big-name prospects get called up this past week, including Sal Stewart and Jordan Lawlar from last week's article.

As you're finalizing your roster for a playoff matchup or to make a last-minute surge in rotisserie leagues, any upside you can add to your team is exciting, and one of these prospects could provide a ton of upside.

Let's look at a few top prospects to stash for Week 24 of the fantasy baseball season.

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

 

J.J. Wetherholt, SS, St. Louis Cardinals

While it seems like the Cardinals don't feel inclined to call up J.J. Wetherholt, he is clearly ready to make the jump to the majors. He's having a tremendous first full professional season after being drafted seventh overall in last year's draft.

Wetherholt has a 155 WRC+ across Double-A and Triple-A this season while walking nearly as much as he's striking out. He also has really ramped up his power production since getting the bump to Triple-A, as he has nine of his 16 HRs in only 177 PAs since getting promoted.

There's a lot to be excited about under the hood as well.

If Wetherholt gets the call, he can provide solid all-around production in Roto leagues, and his strong plate skills make him an excellent addition for points leagues.

 

Bryce Eldridge, 1B, San Francisco Giants

Bryce Eldridge has special power. After hitting 23 HRs with a 139 WRC+ last season at only 19 years old, he's having another strong season in the upper minors. He has a 119 WRC+ with 23 HRs between Double-A and Triple-A, which is very impressive for a 20-year-old.

The 6-foot-7 giant will always have some strikeout issues to go with his impressive power. He is striking out 29.2 percent of the time this season, including 30.9 percent since getting the bump to Triple-A. However, if he can keep this in check, he'll hit a lot of HRs.

Eldridge might not be totally ready for the majors, but the Giants may want to give him a little taste of the majors to see what their future looks like, and he can provide a few HRs down the stretch run for them, along with fantasy teams.

 

Justin Crawford, OF, Philadelphia Phillies

The problem and solution seem pretty simple in Philadelphia. The Phillies have struggled to get production from their outfield all season. Their top hitting prospect is an outfielder having a strong season in Triple-A.

On the season, Justin Crawford has a 133 WRC+ with seven HRs and 46 SBs as a 21-year-old at Triple-A. That is impressive production, and he could instantly provide a jolt to the Phillies' offense as they make their playoff push.

Crawford's big flaw is that he hits the ball on the ground A LOT. His ground ball rates have been around 60% or higher at every level, so while he has solid quality of contact, he's known for killing ants with his batted balls. If Crawford gets the call to Philadelphia, he should provide a strong average and a lot of speed (like his father Carl), but if he can improve his launch angle a bit, he might be able to add a little bit of power as well.

 

Carson Benge, OF, New York Mets

Carson Benge has been one of the best hitters in the minors this season. His first professional season has flown a bit under the radar with guys like Wetherholt and all of the guys already making noise in the majors, but his production has been incredibly impressive. He has risen into the Top 20 of my latest non-debuted prospects list.

Benge has a 163 WRC+ between three levels with 13 HRs and 21 SBs. He is also only striking out 17.9 percent of the time while walking 13.7 percent of the time.

Benge has struggled in a small sample since getting the bump to Triple-A, as he only has a 45 WRC+ in his first nine games. He also struggled with an injury, but he is back and hitting a little bit. If he were to get hot for even a week, the Mets might want to see a little bit of him as they toggle for playoff position in the NL East.

If he gets the call, Benge would provide a solid all-around profile, somewhat similar to Wetherholt but in the outfield.

 

Kevin McGonigle, SS/2B, Detroit Tigers

I talked about Kevin McGonigle last week in my prospects to stash article as well, and if you're still looking to stash for upside, he's probably the best somewhat realistic late-season call-up prospect in the minors.

He is a special hitting talent. He has a 181 WRC+ on the season between Low-A, High-A, and Double-A as a 20-year-old (just turned 21). He has 16 HRs and has one of the best approaches in the minor leagues. He's walking 14.9 percent of the time while only striking out 11.3 percent of the time.

It's pretty rare for a player to have this impressive of a hit tool while still providing some power. McGonigle has still been able to have a 157 WRC+ since getting the bump to Double-A despite having a .230 BABIP. That's an incredible combination for the young future star.

If he were to get the call, McGonigle would provide a lot of value in all leagues but could be a league winner in points formats.
