Tyler Stuart is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Tyler Stuart, SP, New York Mets
ANALYSIS: A sixth-round pick last summer out of Southern Miss, most recognize Stuart's giant 6'9", 250-pound frame. Most saw a quick-moving reliever based on Stuart's background as a college reliever, but the Mets immediately made Stuart a starter, which lengthened his path to the majors.
Stuart opened the 2023 season in High-A Brooklyn, and he leads full-season qualified pitchers with a 1.47 ERA. He uses his low arm angle and height in combination to get very unique shape on his 93-94 MPH fastball, sweeping slider, and change. He struggled in college to maintain command in back-to-back appearances out of the bullpen, but that has been ironed out thus far.
While Stuart has an 8.5% walk rate over the 2023 season, he's seen his walk rate go from 10.7% in April to 9% in May to an impressive 6% in June through three starts, striking out 19 over 16 innings.
VERDICT: Stuart needs to pass the upper minors test, but once he can achieve that, he'll be a prospect to take very seriously, even though he doesn't have the pedigree as most fantasy-worthy starters. Hold for now, but definitely keep him on the watch list.
