Daily Sheet 5/1/25: It's Time to Jump on Gage Jump

It's a free sheet Friday! Will Thompson on MLB, Rhys White at Triple-A, Matt Thompson at Double-A, Grant Carver on High-A, and Tom Gates at Single-A.

Major League Baseball

Covered by Will Thompson

Bobby Witt Jr., SS KC (MLB)

1-for-3, HR, R, 3 RBI, 2 BB, K

Witt is off to a fantastic start yet again and got the scoring rally started for the Royals against Rays ace Shane Baz with a home run down in the RF line into the short porch. He extended his hitting streak to 22 games as well so it’s time to pay attention, feel like it’s been a while since we’ve seen a super notable hitting streak. Witt is a special player and is remarkably consistent as well. 

👟 Maikel Garcia, 3B KC (MLB)

3-for-5, 2B, R, RBI, 3 SB

Garcia has always been able to run, which he showed off in this one with three stolen bases, but the offense is starting to click into place for the first time. He’s become a lot more patient at the plate this year too, hitting .296/.353/.435 and his hard-hit rate is at career high 53%. The speed has been there, but the 25-year-old had never really been able to get on-base enough to make himself valuable in fantasy, but that might be changing.  

Shane Baz, RHP TB (MLB)

5.2 IP, 9 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, K, HR allowed

This was only the second clunker of the year for Baz, who looked like he was starting to establish himself as an ace through the season’s first month. The righty seemed to be cruising yet again until Bobby Witt Jr. hit a short porch home run in the 5th and it all went downhill from there. The Royals did a great job making contact and spoiling pitches in this one, and Baz only generated six whiffs in total and just one on his curveball. Nothing to worry about long-term certainly, Baz is off to a terrific start in 2025 but he’ll need to bounce back his next time out. 

💣💣 Seiya Suzuki, DH CHC (MLB)

2-for-4, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, BB

The version of Seiya Suzuki the Cubs got the last two years they’ll gladly take, but he’s taken the next step in the early going to potentially becoming a star. A double dong day including being one of three Cubs to take Paul Skenes deep in the 5th inning and has put himself right up there for the MLB home run league with nine. There will always be swing and miss and strikeouts with Suzuki, but he’s on pace to shatter his previous career-high in home runs (21) and has proven himself well worth the contract the Cubs gave him coming over from Japan. This Cubs lineup is so deep and has so many weapons that can hurt you. 

Colin Rea, RHP CHC (MLB)

6.0 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, 2 BB, 2 K, HR allowed

The Cubs really needed someone to step up in the starting rotation once it was announced that Justin Steele needed Tommy John Surgery, but I don’t think anyone would have thought Colin Rea would be that guy. The 34-year-old has been terrific since moving into the rotation and his ERA actually went up to 1.46 after his start in Pittsburgh yesterday. Rea has kind of reinvented himself this season, going from being a sinker, cutter guy most of his career to leading primarily with the 4-seamer and has led to a career-high in strikeout rate. There is definitely regression coming here though as he’s struggled with the home run ball throughout his career, but has only given up one in 24.2 IP so far which is going to change at some point. Regardless, he’s been a breath of fresh air for a Cubs rotation that has really needed it. 

💣💣 Juan Soto, RF NYM (MLB)

2-for-3, 2 HR, 2 R, 2 RBI, BB

It’s kind of crazy that it took Juan Soto until his 16th game at Citi Field to finally hit his first home run at home as a Met, but once he finally broke through against Zac Gallen he then homered in his next at-bat as well with that beautiful left-center field stroke he has. It’s taken a little longer than normal this season for Soto to get the power going and his barrel rate stands at just 6.5% so far this season, quite the fall from the absurd 19.7% mark he put up with the Yankees in 2024. This is Juan Soto we’re talking about though and hopefully this double dong performance gets him going, he’s due to go on the tear soon.

‼️ Zac Gallen, RHP ARI (MLB)

6.0 IP, 2 H, 1 ER, 3 BB, 8 K, HR allowed

Gallen really needed a start like this and maybe he just needs to pitch in New York all the time. In his two starts against the Mets and Yankees, the righty allowed just one earned run in 12.2 IP with 21 strikeouts. The main sticking point for Gallen early on has been giving way more fly balls than he ever has before in his career. We’ll have to see if that sustains for the 29-year-old, who is scheduled to hit free agency this winter and potentially get a massive payday. Maybe this start is a sign of things starting to turn around, this Arizona rotation is way too talented to continue to pitch this poorly. Luckily for the Snakes, the offense has been fantastic. 

Craig Yoho, RHP MIL (MLB)

1.0 IP, 3 H, 5 ER, 4 BB, 0 K, HR allowed

It was a tough day for the Craig Yoho army as he just didn’t have it against the White Sox yesterday. The rookie completely lost the strike zone, throwing just 13 of his 35 pitches for strikes. Pat Murphy probably left him out there too long when he clearly didn’t have it, but he probably didn’t want to use another arm in a game the White Sox had firmly in hand. The White Sox don’t win often, but when they do it’s usually a rout for some reason. 

Jeffrey Springs, LHP SAC (MLB)

6.0 IP, 2 H, 0 ER, 1 BB, 1 K

The A’s have desperately needed someone else to step up in their starting rotation behind Luis Severino (JP Sears has been solid also) and before this start Springs was really struggling, looking like the latest example of yet another pitcher who the Rays traded at the perfect time. He’s still not missing any bats, but this was a really promising start for the lefty, who turned in his best outing of the year against an ice-cold Rangers lineup. A’s manager Mark Kotsay did a great job of getting Springs out after six innings and just 68 pitches, letting him get a positive start in and turning the game over to the bullpen. If there’s more of this to come for Springs, it will make a major difference for an A’s team that might be in the playoff race? 

Tyler Mahle, RHP TEX (MLB)

6.0 IP, 5 H, 1 ER, 1 BB, 6 K

Mahle has quietly gotten off to a terrific start this season for a Rangers rotation that has been excellent. In his first seven starts, the righty has a league-leading 1.19 ERA. Regression is coming though and I’d be looking to sell high here, he’s yet to give up a home run all season and that’s not something that’s going to continue. Regardless, another excellent start for Tyler Mahle. 

Trea Turner, SS PHI (MLB)

3-for-4, R

Is Trea Turner starting to get hot? Over his last four games, he’s 11-for-16 and he torched his former team the Nationals in this series. Still waiting for the power to kick in, but he’s shown the ability to hit for power in bunches and maybe this stretch is the start of him doing that. The defense on the other hand has been a total disaster for the 31-year-old, already accumulating -5 DRS through the first month of the season after posting -14 DRS last season. That’s a really alarming trend for someone the Phillies have under contract for eight more years after this one through his age 40 season. Don’t think that’s a contract that’s going to age well. 

Gleyber Torres, 2B DET (MLB)

3-for-3, HR, R, RBI, BB

Has there been a better value offseason signing than Gleyber Torres to the Tigers so far? It’s a small sample, but getting out of New York might have done wonders for him and he’s been a huge part of this Tigers offense that has really impressed over the first month of the season. Torres is only striking out at a 9% clip so far and his in-zone contact rate has jumped to nearly 89% in the early going. In a position where there’s not many great fantasy options, Torres has been excellent and been a massive addition to this Tigers lineup. 

Dillon Dingler, C DET (MLB)

3-for-5, HR, R, 3 RBI, K

After taking his lumps at the big league level last season, Dingler is off to a strong start and hit his fourth homer of the season already in the Tigers win in Anaheim last night. That being said, he hasn’t walked a single time in 87 plate appearances and has a 31% K rate and a .382 BABIP. Regression is absolutely coming here and now is the time to sell high if you have another solid catching option.  

Javier Baez, CF DET (MLB)

1-for-5, HR, R, RBI, 2 K

The resurgence of Javier Baez has been one of the best stories in baseball and it continued last night with him hitting his second homer of the season and playing a terrific defensive center field. As fun as it would be if El Mago could keep this up for the entire season, I don’t see it happening. Baez has a BABIP of .377 despite a career low in hard-hit rate (33.3%) and barrel rate (4.8%) which is some pretty insane luck. While I can predict some major regression to the mean here, I hope that’s not the case because he’s so much fun to watch when he’s playing well. 

Reid Detmers, LHP LAA (MLB)

0.1 IP, 3 H, 4 ER, 1 BB, 0 K, HR allowed

Somehow after allowing 5 ER in Seattle yesterday while not recording an out, Ron Washington thought it would be a good idea to throw Detmers out there the very next day in the 8th inning to protect a two-run lead. The lefty imploded for the second straight night in one of the most puzzling managerial decisions I’ve seen in quite a while. Between this mess and having two pitchers go to the mound to start an inning two days ago against the Mariners, it’s been a rough 48 hours for this Angels coaching staff and the team has now lost six games in a row.  

Triple-A Baseball

Covered by Rhys White

Justin Crawford, LF PHI (Triple-A) 

2-for-5, 2B, R

Okay, whew, the groundball rate is below 60%. We are all good now. It is 59.5% of the time that he hits the ball on the ground, so like I said, there's nothing to worry about. Crawford has a chance to be a good big leaguer. He just needs to get that percentage around 40% because he does have the speed to make it tenable. I might be one of the last believers, but there is a chance he helps the Phillies this postseason. 

Bryan Torres, RF STL (Triple-A) 

3-for-5, R

Unfortunately, there is no way to project out Bryan Torres breaking into the mix with the Cardinals, despite his performance warranting a real shot with a roster that is in flux. Maybe after the deadline, we will see Bryan Torres get a cameo, or that is the hope. 

🔜 Iván Herrera, C STL(Triple-A) 

1-for-4, HR, R, 3 RBI

He will be back soon, which should be enough for my boss, Matt, to be happy. Seeing Herrera get a real shot to be the Cardinals catcher has been good. 

Matthew Lugo, CF LAA (Triple-A)

2-for-5, 2B, 2 R, 2 RBI

I can’t imagine it will be that long before we see Lugo up with the Angels. A Trout injury does slightly open up the door to that, even if his performance thus far has not warranted a call-up. Lugo would provide some power and some outfield versatility to a team that needs some outfield versatility. The ceiling isn’t very high, but sometimes, just rostering an angel is what you have to do.  

Matt Shaw, 3B CHC (Triple-A)

1-for-3, BB

Moises Ballesteros, DH CHC(Triple-A)

1-for-4

It's not the biggest day for either of these guys, but Moises Ballesteros keeps the hit streak alive! Matt Shaw has looked more comfortable at the plate since his demotion, and you could argue that Ballesteros is the hottest hitter on the planet. Also, I want to dispel something about Ballesteros; he is not this trainwreck of a defender that some lazily still applies to him. He is a perfectly fine 45 back there. Matt Shaw runs like he bites people, and I will not elaborate on that more. 

Matt Manning, RHP DET (Triple-A)

1.2 IP, 3 BB, 2 K 

He is just a reliever now, and while that sucks but it is the best move, and you can argue it should have happened years ago. 

Roman Anthony, LF BOS (Triple-A)

1-for-4, R, RBI, BB

Your EV king keeps on hitting the ball hard. Roman Anthony in this Red Sox lineup is going to be cinematic. At this point, I don’t know what more he must show before he gets the call up. There is a very nice Ceddanne Rafaela-sized hole in this lineup that he could fill. Maybe the Red Sox should have a designated fielder, and then we can have Anthony and Rafaela up at the same time. 

Coby Mayo, 3B BAL (Triple-A)

0-for-5, K 

Mayo has looked bad, like most mayo in the supermarket. I wonder how much of this is because he just doesn’t want to be in Triple-A. A trade must happen, and you would have to imagine he gets moved. 

Jesus Rodriguez, C NYY (Triple-A)

3-for-6, 3 R 

The Yankees love themselves a bat-first catcher; that was what Ben Rice was before he became the second-best hitter on the Yankees. I would love for Jesus Rodriguez to become the next Yankees success story. He will have to catch slightly, however, because the Yankees are running out of spots to move these former catchers off it. 

💣💣 Everson Pereira, DH NYY (Triple-A)

2-for-5, 2 HR, 3 R, 3 RBI, BB

💣💣💣 Jose Rojas, 3B NYY (Triple-A)

3-for-6, 3 HR, 3 R, 8 RBI 

A double dong and a throng of dongs, I am contractually obligated to mention these. Rojas could fix the Yankees' third-base issue. 

Adam Mazur, RHP MIA (Triple-A)

4 IP, 8 H, 7 R (6 ER), 3 BB, 3 K, 3 HR Allowed

People were clamoring for him to start at the major league level, and I get that he deserves a chance with the Marlins. However, their rotation is so good for an uncompetitive team. Mazur’s fastball still worries me, but he can be an interesting streaming option in deeper leagues in the right match-up. 

Carson Williams, SS TB (Triple-A)

2-for-3, HR, 3 R, RBI, 2 BB

Williams is someone I wanna see up with the Rays at this point. I don’t need to see Taylor Walls or whoever they keep rolling out at shortstop; admittedly, I watch much more of the Rays minor leaguers than the big league squad at this point. Williams has some pretty special hands at the shortstop position, and his power and speed give him such a high ceiling as a fantasy contributor, even if the swing decisions at times can best be described as raw. 

💣💣 Bob Seymour, DH TB (Triple-A)

3-for-5, 2 HR, 2B, 2 R, 5 RBI

Double-dong Bobby!

Joe Rock, LHP TB (Triple-A)

6 IP, 5 H, 2 ER, BB, 7 K 

We will, we will Rock you. Joe Rock was freed from his Rockies nightmare. However, the fastball was hitting as low as the upper 80s, which is not that tenable as the goal is to project him out as a possible big-league piece, but I won’t question the Rays too much. He will make such a good long reliever for them, and maybe he can become a multi-inning save option because that changeup is nasty. I will page Nate for his closer index; what am I saying? Nate is 22, and I am 28. We don’t know what pagers are. 

‼️ Bubba Chandler, RHP PIT (Triple-A)

5 Ip, 3 H, ER, BB, 9 K 

His hot start to the season continues. He got 12 whiffs off the fastball alone, which is encouraging. I don’t want to sound like a debbie downer, but i am slightly concerned with the third pitch for Chandler, but the fastball and slider are so good that if it vacillates between the curveball and changeup as the third offering from start to start, then maybe just maybe it can work. 

Bryce Matthews, 2B HOU (Triple-A)

0-for-3, R, BB, SB

Even when he doesn’t make contact Bryce Matthews can impact a game. I think the fantasy ceiling is pretty high but his floor is just so low. His swing decisions make everything play down. The dream here is he can be a deep league UTIL option who plays a few different positions and can be a nice source of power and speed in a pinch, when he is actually making contact. The peaks and valleys with him are gonna be pretty rough to navigate. 

Miguel Ullola, RHP HOU (Triple-A)

5 IP, H, 2 BB, 5 K 

We are the Miguel Ullola site, apparently. Matt and I love him, Will Thompson raves about him on X. Ullola was good, check out Will's in-person look and notes below:

Double-A Baseball

Covered by Matt Thompson

Khalil Watson, OF CLE (Double-A) 

3-for-4, 2 2B, R, RBI

We’re still early enough in the season that Watson’s three hit game took his season line from .250/.333/.550 to an updated .295/.365/.614. Watson is having a strong season but he still entered today with a near 30% strikeout rate, which is pretty much the same as he had in 2024. It was still a decent season last year, but Watson has struggled to hit for average for two years running, so it’s good to see him off to a strong start. This is his 40-man platform year, so he has to be added to the 40-man after this year. He’s a curious case. First round pedigree, some left-handed power, can play multiple positions. You can see someone taking the shot.

Nick Raposo, C SEA (Double-A) 

3-for-4, HR, 2B, R, RBI

A former Cardinals prospect, Raposo has spent time with the Blue Jays and Mariners organizations since. He’s a defense first guy with some pull-side pop, but its a backup catcher ceiling, and more realistically he might be the third catcher in most orgs. 

🆕‼️ Hayden Mullins, LHP BOS (Double-A) 

5.2  IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 4 BB, 10 K

The Red Sox really have it all don’t they? Mullins fantastic, recording ten strikeouts in his Double-A debut. I’m a big fan of the clean delivery and the stuff is crisp. 93-94 from the left side with a two-plane breaking ball and a change, Mullins could move quickly if the Red Sox wanted to push him. It seems like a numbers crunch kept him in High-A to start the season but while there are plenty of arms in this system with more upside, Mullins will be a big league starter if he stays healthy. He’s really good.

Bryce Eldridge, DH SF (Double-A) 

3-for-4, RBI, K

I’m a little surprised he’s in Double-A after ending last year in Triple-A, but he entered today with a 40% strikeout rate at the level so he needs more seasoning. I’m not predicting a 2025 big league debut for him. I’m not high on the Giants and just don’t think he’s ready. I love him long term but yeah, there’s still hit tool risk here. He won’t turn 21 until October so he’s still ahead of schedule.

‼️Sam Aldegheri, LHP LAA (Double-A) 

7 IP, 5 H, 3 BB, 8 K

It’s weird that he’s in Double-A after making three starts with the Angels to end 2024. I’m assuming the reasoning is they want him to work on his command, which is a good reason to avoid Salt Lake City. Aldegheri has SP 4 upside, but the floor is pretty low.

💣💣💣 Ethan Workinger, DH ATL (Double-A) 

3-for-5, 3 HR, 3 R, 8 RBI, K

A throng of dongs for the UDFA that the Braves signed in 2020. Workinger needs to find more consistent in game power, as his career high in homers is 12. With today’s boom he is already halfway there. Even with today’s outburst not factored in, Workinger was running a 57% pull rate, which is 15% higher than last season. There looks to be an approach overhaul here and he is someone I'm adding to my watch list. Might be worth an add if you have a roster spot burning a hoe through your monitor. 

💣💣 Tanner Schobel, 2B MIN (Double-A) 

3-for-5, 2 HR, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI

Schobel was bad in 2024 and needs a good year to rebuild his prospect status. So far so good, and his OPS is up 200 points from 2024. There’s a decent mix of power and speed here and I think he has a chance as a utility man. Lack of size and a plus tool really impact the ceiling.

Brandon Valenzuela, C SD (Double-A) 

3-for-4, HR, 2 2B, R, RBI

Three extra base knocks is nothing to sneeze at for the Padres backstop. I’m split on whether or not he can catch long term. I haven’t heard much about his defense for a while now. The bat really isn't good enough to be an asset anywhere else, so he has to stick back there. 

High-A Baseball

Covered by Grant Carver

Yophery Rodriguez, DH BOS (High-A)

2-for-3, 3B, HR, 2 R, BB

Rodriguez has been hot since joining the Sox system and he’s making a ton of contact, which is always nice. He doesn't swing and miss much, and he seems to know the zone well for a guy his age. The power projection is there, so he has everything you look to buy into for a young hitter. Like most people, I was surprised at the Red Sox return for Priester. However, it’s hard to question a front office like the Brewers’ and I certainly won’t be the one to do it.

‼️ Gage Jump, LHP ATH (High-A)

5 IP, H, 7 K

Injuries made his path a bit rocky, but Jump looks back and is off to a great start so far in 2025. As long as the fastball sits in the mid to high 90’s and the curveball/slider combination keeps improving, he looks like a legit mid rotation guy to me. The A’s taking him 78th overall could age very well if the arm holds up.

Max Clark, CF DET (High-A)

4-for-5, R

Clark is making even more contact than he usually does so far this season and is showing no sign of slowing down. The power has yet to come this season, but the hit tool is so advanced that it doesn't concern me much. The floor with an advanced hit tool and elite defense is so good that any power he grows into is a cherry on top.

Jefferson Rojas, 2B CHC (High-A)

2-for-3, HR, R, 4 RBI

Rojas had a better season last year than the stat line suggests and is off to a nice start impact wise in 2025. He made a ton of contact and rarely chased outside of the zone last year, which i a great foundation to have as a hitter his age. Feels like he’s been around forever, but he just turned 20 years old and if any power starts to show up he could rise ranks quickly.

‼️Santiago Suarez, RHP TBR (High-A)

6 IP, H, 0 ER, BB, 5 K

The combination of stuff and command from a pitcher his age is pretty impressive. Walks have never been an issue and the Rays have consistently helped him improve the arsenal. Hard not to believe in both the arsenal and the Rays developing him.

🍔🍟 Jesus Baez, SS NYM (High-A)

2-for-4, HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, 2 K, SB

Second home run of the season for Baez, who is one of the more interesting prospects in the Mets system. He puts up high exit velocity and makes lots of contact, which is a good combo to have at this age. He’s a bit too aggressive and has some trouble connecting on fastballs, but the toolbox of traits is exciting and he could keep rising with a hot 2025 start.

Javier Rivas, SS PIT (High-A)

2-for-4, HR, 2 RBI

Another home run for Rivas, who has seven on the season now and is off to a blazing start there. It’s more power than he’s ever shown before and he’s also making way more contact. The strikeout rates have been way too high so far in his career. Not sure if it’ll stick, but always good to come out of the gates hot.

Bryan Rincon, SS PHI (High-A)

3-for-5, 2B, 2 R, 3 RBI

Nice day at the office for Rincon here. He’s a smaller guy that lacks power in the bat, and he does not have the bat to ball skills to make up for it. He does have some solid plate discipline and avoids chasing, but he needs more than just that to work as he ages. We’ll see if anything takes strides in 2025.

Chris Cortez, RHP LAA (High-A)

5 IP, 3 H, BB, 3 K

Much better outing in the control department for Cortez, which is what he needed the most. It’s been rocky in all the ways you would expect a profile like this trying to be a starter would be roky, but it’s still early. Will take time to fine tune the command and the Angels aren't exactly a pitching lab.

Ryan Waldschmidt, DH ARI (High-A)

2-for-4, HR, 3 R, BB, K

Fifth home run of the season and what Waldschmidt continues his impressive pro debut. Not only is he showing game power, the hit tool is also far more advanced than I thought it was. He shows good discipline and does not have any whiff concerns yet. It’s an easy T100 profile right now and I hope he keeps it up.

Arjun Nimmala, SS TOR (High-A)

2-for-4, HR, R, RBI

Went down and got this one, sending it way over the left field fence. That’s six home runs on the year and he is nowhere near stopping. The power upside is immense here and it’s easy to see a middle of the order bat in the profile. Not getting enough hype just yet.

Single-A Baseball

Covered by Tom Gates

🔜 Eury Perez, RHP MIA (Single-A)

1.2 IP, BB, 2 K

As a Eury owner in my home league, this is nice to see. He averaged 97 mph on the fastball. He had some trouble finding the zone. Threw 26 pitches here. 65% strikes.

👟 Andrew Salas, CF MIA (Single-A)

3-for-5, RBI, K, 3 SB

A very buzzy-name around the industry this week. Salas has been handling Single-A pitching. He has a 84.5% in-zone contact rate. Most of the batted balls are ending up on the ground in his 14 games here. He’s also shown his athleticism by playing multiple games at second, short, and center. If he’s out there in your league, swoop him up.

Trevor Harrison, RHP TB (Single-A)

3 IP, 6 H, 6 ER, 3 BB, 3 K

It’s been a rough start to the season for Harrison and it all comes down to the command. His called strike% is four percentage points down from last year. He’s been forced to come into the zone more after falling behind hitters and they are making more contact than they usually do against him. He has the tools but isn’t sure how to use them just yet. 

Angel Cepeda, 2B CHC (Single-A)

1-for-5, R, RBI, BB, 4 K, CS

Not the best day for my “hometown sleeper”. I do like Cepeda as a deeper league dart throw. He’s got some tools. He’s hitting a lot more balls to the opposite field right now but one of those left the yard. His flyball % is up from last year and he’s already matched his home run total from the complex league. 

Jesus Made, SS MLW (Single-A)

1-for-5, 3 K

3 strikeouts?! What a bum. Trade him to me.

Manuel Beltre, SS TOR (Single-A)

2-for-4, HR, R, RBI, BB

Beltre took Painter deep in the fourth inning for his first of the year. PLive+ has Beltre as equivalent to MLB replacement. Larger variance here with how young he is. 

‼️ Trey Yesavage, RHP TOR (Single-A)

6 IP, 4 H, 8 K

A masterful outing. Yesavage got 14 whiffs and produced a 33% CSW. He is able to run his pitches in on righties and it ties them up. A solid three-pitch mix. I was too low on him in my last rankings. 

🔜 Andrew Painter, RHP PHI (Single-A)

4 IP, 3 H, 3 ER, 2 K

Fastball was averaging 95.4 mph. He also wasn’t getting many whiff’s on that pitch and he was leaving them over the center of the plate. The cutter was excellent and the slider was effective. Good to see him ramp it up to four innings.

‼️ Griffin Herring, LHP MIA (Single-A)

6.2 IP, 5 H, ER, 11 K

Herring has come out of the gates ready to go this season. He’s already logged 30 innings and his first run of the season was given up here on a solo shot. His previous three outings, he ran into some trouble with the walks but also zero’s in that category in his other two outings. His secondaries remind me of my wiffleball days with the slow, late breaking movement. 

🍔🍟 Antonio Anderson, SS BOS (Single-A)

2-for-4, HR, R, 2 RBI, BB, SB

Mr. Anderson is lighting up Single-A. Yes, his BABIP is .471, but that’s not because all of his ground balls are finding holes. He has a 31% line-drive rate. Anderson is a switch-hitter with plus-power potential and has some speed. An interesting note here that he has not started at short-stop this year after playing there 23 times last year. It looks like the focus might be for him to be a full-time third baseman. 

Carlos Sanchez, CF CIN (Single-A)

1-for-5, HR, R, RBI, 2 K

Here is a name to put on your list. He’s in the top 10 in batting average, right next to Moises Ballesteros. Slightly ahead of Aroon Escobar in wRC+ and he just recorded his 10th extra base hit in his 21st game. Now, there are some holes that need to be filled in here. He gets caught stealing way too much and the strikeout rate will be a concern if it doesn’t improve. But he impacts the ball.  

💣💣🍔🍟 Caden Powell, 2B HOU (Single-A)

4-for-5, 2 HR, 2 R, 3 RBI, K, SB

Four homers and five stolen bases on the season to go along with a .295 average. Still striking out too much, but like some of the other guys on my list here, Powell smokes the ball when he squares it up and he’s been doing a lot of that. Almost the majority of his batted-balls are line drives. He doesn’t walk very much, which you typically see from high contact hitters. Powell isn’t one of those. Just a 63% contact percentage. 

‼️ Boston Bateman, LHP SD (Single-A)

6 IP, 2 H, BB, 5 K

I don’t mind settling for Bateman here over Batman if he’s going to put up this kind of outing. Bateman is on an every other quality outing program. He’s a big man, at 6’8. His fastball can reach the upper 90’s and he does a nice job of locating it at different spots in the zone. 

Robert Calaz, RF COL (Single-A)

1-for-3, 2B, R, RBI, BB, K

Back from the IL. I’m now getting the point where I’m starting to just trust the organization more than the player. How many times can I get burned by the excitement of a Rockies hitting prospect? If he played for the Red Sox, I’d probably rank him in my top 10 and not have any worry. I hope that my doubt on Calaz is just overblown. He packs a good punch but there are hit-tool concerns.

Eduardo Quintero, CF LAD (Single-A)

3-for-5, 2B, R, 3 RBI, K

87th percentile in wOBA in Single-A. Tools off the charts. The problem with going to trade for Quintero is his inflated price tag being on the Dodgers. I still think it might be worth it, especially if you are rebuilding. 

Felnin Celesten, SS SEA (Single-A)

3-for-5, 2 2B, 3 R

As we work through our most updated prospect rankings, Celesten is currently in all of our top 50, with a high of 8! I can’t argue with that. He has the upside in fantasy to land as the number at some point in 2026, especially if we see LDV, Walcott, and Made (yes, Made) graduate. Not only is Celesten impacting the ball, but he’s not striking out much. 14% on the year with a 10% walk rate. He has plus power and good speed, so he’ll fill up every category for you.
