The dynasty team has combined to bring readers the latest top prospect lists for all 30 MLB teams. With loads of graduations through the first three months of the season, dynasty managers need to stay up to date on the latest news and rankings. The article below has readers covered!
NL East
- Ramon Marquez is generating significant buzz in the dynasty community. The 20-year-old righty owns a 1.86 ERA through 29 innings in Low-A. His success is encouraging, but there are questions as to how well his arsenal will translate to fantasy value against tougher competition. Marquez is a sinker/changeup/cutter pitcher with the changeup being the best of the bunch. He moves up to eighth despite questions of his long-term dynasty value.
- Keaton Anthony just keeps on hitting. Since signing as an undrafted free agent back in 2023, Anthony has done nothing but hit. The lack of power clouds his dynasty outlook, but he is up to five home runs in just 21 games this season. Anthony is unlikely to ever be a difference-making bat for dynasty managers, but he is a fun story to root for as he knocks on the door of the major leagues.
- Jack Wenninger has been struggling in Triple-A. Despite still owning a 2.93 ERA on the season, Wenninger owns a 5.73 ERA across his last five appearances. The biggest issues for Wenninger have been command and control. Wenninger has surrendered five home runs while his walk rate continues to be up near 12%. At this point, Wenninger does not seem primed for a major league promotion.
- Elian Pena is a perfect buy-low prospect for dynasty managers. The surface stats are underwhelming at .260/.391/.361. However, Pena possesses so many of the tools dynasty managers seek. He is a twitchy athlete with great speed and baseball IQ. The game power is still a work in progress, but at 18, there is plenty of time for this to develop. His hit tool and understanding of the strike zone are excellent and far beyond his age. Pena’s breakout is coming, and dynasty managers should buy now before it is too late.
Atlanta
- Tate Southisene continues to rake. Following the 2025 MLB Draft, there was not a lot of belief that Southisene’s toolset would translate to dynasty production. He is quickly putting those concerns to rest with eight homers and 38 stolen bases. Atlanta has already seen enough to move Southisene up to High-A. For this list, Southisene moves up to fourth and into the top 120 on this month’s prospect list update.
- Michael Martinez is a popular name in dynasty circles, but ranks only ninth on this list. The tools are loud. At 6’2″, Martinez packs a punch from the right side. However, despite his athletic build, Martinez does not run much (just 3/5 this year on steals) and has a concerning hit tool. Since being promoted from the Complex League to Low-A, Martinez’s contact rate sits at only 59.1%. There are better prospects out there for dynasty managers to target.
- Dynasty managers should not forget about Victor Hurtado. Hurtado was the team’s top international signing back in 2024 and struggled through his first two seasons. While the surface stats at the Complex League are underwhelming again this year, a lot of that can be written off to a .211 BABIP. Hurtado has significant pop stemming from his 6’3″ frame and is still only 19 years old for the remainder of 2026. He is not a must-add prospect, but should be on watch lists moving forward.
- Ronny Cruz and Yeremy Cabrera have cooled off after fast starts. Cruz took the dynasty community by storm, but his suspect hit tool has caught up to him. He is slashing .176/.214/.261 since May 9. Similarly, Cabrera’s hit tool issues have returned. Since his promotion to High-A, Cabrera is batting .247 with one homer and a 65.3% contact rate. Each prospect has plenty of talent but is still incredibly raw in terms of their development.
- The Marlins received some tough news for both of their top pitching prospects. Robby Snelling was forced to undergo Tommy John surgery after making just one start at the major league level. Thomas White suffered a left shoulder injury and will now miss the remainder of the 2026 season. Both White and Snelling have extremely high ceilings and remain two of the best pitching prospects in baseball. Dynasty managers will just need to wait a bit longer to see them in action.
- Cam Cannarella is back in game action after suffering a broken wrist earlier in the season. Cannarella was proving to be far too advanced for High-A, so Miami has sent him to Double-A. Cannarella is an elite fielder with plus speed and a strong hit tool. His three home runs in High-A came as a surprise and have added ceiling to his dynasty projection. If Cannarella can continue to hit the ball in the air enough and provide more power, he will turn into a highly sought-after prospect in dynasty leagues.
NL Central
- After a very slow start to his 2026 season, Cardinals outfield prospect Joshua Baez is starting to do serious damage for Triple-A Memphis. In May, Baez hit .274 with ten homers and six steals, and has now added three more homers in his first 11 June games. Aside from power, Baez is still struggling with consistent contact, which has plagued him since day one as a prospect. His gains in contact last season fueled his breakout, and while he’s still hitting for a decent average with plenty of power and speed, the bat-to-ball skills and swing decisions will need to improve at the next level.
- Former top prospect Quinn Mathews is trending in the right direction at Triple-A. After opening the season with a mid-teens walk rate and an ERA over 5.00 in his first ten starts, Mathews has been lights out in June. Through 12 innings this month, he’s allowed zero earned runs with 15 strikeouts and just two walks. The 6’5″ left-hander has flashed brilliance through various parts of his career, including all of 2024, but has not sustained his success of late. If the command can hold over the next few weeks, Mathews should get his first shot at the major leagues later this summer.
- You’d be hard-pressed to find a hitter doing as much damage as Josiah Hartshorn has been doing of late for High-A Myrtle Beach. Hartshorn now has a .455 average in June, adding six homers and 18 RBI in 12 games. All six of his home runs have come in his last eight games, and he now has 13 in his pro debut. In addition to his power, Hartshorn has 42 walks this season compared to 41 strikeouts, producing nearly identical walk and strikeout rates of around 16% each. The 19-year-old was a sixth-round pick last summer and is rapidly soaring up their prospect ranks.
- Despite a well-known last name and a very famous father, Cubs pitching prospect Mason McGwire is making a name for himself in 2026. McGwire struggled in his first two pro seasons in 2023 and 2024 and did not pitch in 2025 after suffering an undisclosed injury. None of the rust you’d expect after a long layoff has been seen as McGwire is dominating. Through 12 appearances (6 starts), he’s got a 2.37 ERA with a 17% swinging strike rate over 38 innings. Since moving to High-A in late May, he’s got a 31% K-BB rate. The Cubs recently placed him on the Development List, likely giving McGwire some additional time to rest after logging no innings last season.
- The Brewers, desperate for offensive production at the shortstop position, summoned top prospect Cooper Pratt. The 21-year-old, who agreed to a multi-year extension this spring without ever playing above Double-A, will make his MLB debut on June 16th. Pratt is having a solid first season at Triple-A, batting .244 with six homers and 17 steals while posting nearly identical walk and strikeout rates. Pratt has more real-life value than fantasy, having proven to be an excellent defender and showing just average to above-average skills at the plate. Either way, Pratt will get his first taste of the big leagues and will immediately go into a high-impact role for a team with World Series aspirations.
- Pratt isn’t the only minor leaguer to get a contract extension, as outfielder Luis Lara signed a 7-year/$31M deal earlier this month. Lara’s extension is a bit puzzling, as he’s been well below average over the past few seasons before breaking out in 2026. In 62 Triple-A games, Lara is slashing .329/.443/.476 with a career-high seven home runs, along with 20 steals. Prior to this season, Lara was basically middling in batting average with no power and plenty of speed, but also an above-average defender. His power surge was unexpected and remains questionable given his contact quality metrics. Lara should ultimately debut in 2026, but will likely not become an MLB regular until next season.
- It’s impossible to talk about Reds prospects without starting with Alfredo Duno. In his age-20 season, Duno is obliterating High-A. Through 55 games, he’s slugging .531 with 15 homers and 11 doubles. In recent weeks, he’s hit two towering home runs, each over 480 feet, and is posting some of the most absurd exit velocities in the minors. With the power has come a bit of swing-and-miss, but he’s also walking 16% and just turned 20 in January. Duno is easily a top-50 prospect.
- After a terrific start to 2026, Reds’ shortstop prospect Edwin Arroyo was called up and made his big league debut on June 1st. In 11 games with the Reds, Arroyo is batting .227 and is striking out over 36% of the time. It’s still very early, though, and the 22-year-old was dominating at Triple-A, slashing .323/.383/.562 with 11 homers and 9 steals in 53 games.
- Former Fresno State Bulldog Murf Gray has been on a tear at High-A Greensboro. Gray, who was the 73rd overall pick last season, is batting .353 for the Hoppers with 17 homers and a .437 OBP. It’s not a surprise to see Gray getting to a lot of power, considering his 6’3″, 230lb frame and that he hit 18 homers in his final season at FSU. Gray has quietly become one of the higher upside bats for power in the Minors and projects to be a 25+ homer bat in the big leagues.
- Just doing a heat check on top prospect Seth Hernandez, who continues to dazzle in his pro debut. The 19-year-old has finally become human and has been getting hit around a bit at High-A. In five starts since his promotion, he’s got a 4.15 ERA as his command has gotten a little wonky. Hernandez has seen his walk rate spike to 16.7%, but he’s still racking up the strikeouts. All told, it’s a 2.36 ERA and 31.4% K-BB rate for the Pirates’ top prospect.
NL West
- Pay attention to Chase Harlan. Harlan was the team’s third-round pick from 2024 and is off to a fantastic start to the season. Since the start of May, Harlan is slashing .375/.465/.675 with six home runs. Harlan’s swing and power are effortless. He drives the ball out to all fields and has come into his own in terms of his hit tool. The only flaw is that Harlan can be too patient at times. This is a prospect all dynasty managers should be in on, if for nothing else, because of the Dodgers’ prospect hype that tends to catch on in dynasty leagues.
- Mike Sirota has continued his dominance in Double-A. Sirota was batting .325 with a 176 wRC+ in High-A. So far in Double-A, Sirota is batting .342 with a 179 wRC+. For dynasty managers, Sirota’s profile looks excellent. He is still running, hitting for power, and posting incredible on-base percentage numbers. Ideally, it would be great to see his swing percentage tick over 40%, but this is a different profile than somebody like Emmanuel Rodriguez. Sirota has great contact skills and should be considered a top-20 prospect for dynasty leagues.
- Ethan Holliday is going to be sidelined for the remainder of 2026. The silver lining is that the injury is a stress fracture to his foot and has nothing to do with his upper body. Holliday was starting to come into his own in his first professional season, showing off the immense power that landed him at fourth overall in last year’s draft. Holliday will be 20 years old when the 2027 season begins.
- Sean Sullivan and Cole Carrigg have both made their way to the major leagues. The two are very different prospects for dynasty managers. Sullivan is a high-floor, low-ceiling pitcher who is going to rely on locations rather than stuff. Rarely do pitchers who throw 88 mph find success at the Major League level, but Sullivan will attempt to do just that. Carrigg has incredible upside for dynasty managers thanks to his speed. His hit tool has been much better in Triple-A this season, and he should be rostered where available.
- Patrick Forbes has looked electric in his professional debut. The 29th overall pick in last year’s draft made his debut on the mound on May 27 and has struck out 12 batters across three appearances. The former Louisville pitcher has an electric high-velocity fastball and a plus slider. He is a prospect worth buying in dynasty leagues.
- The power has come for JD Dix. Standing at 6’2″, Dix showed off a hit-over-power approach in his debut season last year. Now, he is tapping into his power with seven homers since May 8. Dix owns a .308/.434/.637 slash since then with a .330 ISO. He has power, speed, and a great approach. Dynasty managers should buy high on this breakout performance.
- Shortstop Luis Hernandez looks like the real deal. Hernandez generated significant attention after signing with the Dodgers out of Venezuela and looks like a star in the making. Hernandez is batting over .300, showing off pop with five homers, and is 3/4 on the bases. His swing is smooth, simple, and powerful. He has elite upside and should continue rising up prospect boards as the season moves along.
- Parks Harber has been great since returning from injury. Harber has only played in 43 games, but has already hit seven home runs. The power is substantial, but his approach has some yellow flags in it. For starters, Harber does not hit the ball in the air with much consistency. He is pulling the ball more than ever before, but he still is not elevating it much. That, and the fact that his swing rate remains under 40%, leading to a high strikeout rate. There is upside here, but it is also a profile that tends to plateau as a Quad-A player.
- Joniel Hernandez is a prospect to watch in the DSL. Hernandez was the team’s top signing this past January out of the Dominican Republic. The 6’1″ shortstop is a strong athlete with projectable size. He is off to a good start in the DSL, showing off an impressive hit tool and patience at the plate. The Padres always seem to have at least a few prospects who start popping up throughout each season. Hernandez could be the next big name to know.
- Jesus A. Castro has been pitching well in Low-A. Castro is on the smaller side for starting pitchers at just 5’11”, but is performing incredibly well in Low-A. Castro has struck out 28.6% of batters he has faced with a 2.72 ERA. His best offering is a sinker, although his slider has also flashed plus potential. There are concerns over how well his stuff will play against more advanced competition, but for now, he is a name to watch.
AL East
- With Trey Gibson back in the majors, the O’s new top prospect is Nate George. Unfortunately, we have not seen the 21-year-old since May 3rd as he’s currently on the IL battling an undisclosed illness. Team officials have indicated he will be out for some time, so obviously, our thoughts are with George and the Orioles organization. Prior to his absence, George was batting .293 with a homer and 15 steals across 20 games at High-A.
- 2026 has been a roller coaster ride for Ike Irish, the second-ranked player in the Baltimore system. Irish mashed in April, slashing .338/.447/.592 with four homers, but he was not good in May, hitting below .200 with a near-30% strikeout rate. As the weather heats up in June, the former first-rounder has gotten the power going once again. Irish has three homers with 13 RBI in June, but with a .209 batting average. For the year, he’s got an 111 wRC+ in his first full season playing at High-A.
- It’s hard to imagine a worse start to someone’s pro career than what 2025 first-rounder Kyson Witherspoon endured in his debut. Through his first eight MiLB starts, Witherspoon owned a 6.46 ERA and 1.60 WHIP and had issued 18 walks in less than 30 innings. The winds have shifted for Witherspoon as he’s lowered his season-long ERA to 5.28 after two outstanding efforts in his final start in May and first in June. In those 10 1/3 innings, the 22-year-old allowed just one earned run while walking four and striking out ten. At the very least, he’s settling into the pro game and is starting to flash some of the skills that made him a top-15 pick.
- A fractured hand has ended the first full pro season for Henry Godbout, the team’s second-round pick in the 2025 draft. Godbout had been excellent at High-A, producing a .277/.410/.492 slash line with seven homers and almost as many walks as strikeouts across 34 games. In addition to his patience at the dish, the 22-year-old former Virginia Cavalier was making a high amount of contact and was starting to find his power stroke to the pull side. This injury is certainly a tough end to a great debut season, but Godbout is a name to keep an eye on early in 2027.
- With the shift of Carlos Lagrange to the bullpen at Triple-A, the Yankees are seemingly throwing in the towel on stretching out one of their top pitching prospect. Lagrange was solid in spring training but continued to struggle commanding his electric arsenal while pitching for Scranton Wilkes-Barre. Since his move to the bullpen, Lagrange has posted a 1.35 ERA with ten strikeouts against just three walks in 6 2/3 innings. With his mix of high-octane fastball and a wipeout slider, it won’t be a surprise to see the Yankees add him to their bullpen during the second half of 2026.
- Following a late-spring trade with the Nationals, the Yankees added right-hander Sean Paul Linan to their system. The 21-year-old had a breakout with the Dodgers to open 2025, at one point leading the minor leagues in strikeout rate. Linan was then traded to DC and made a handful of appearances before the Yankees acquired him. Linan is back to his old ways, showing high-end strikeout totals and flashing big upside with his new club. Pitching at High-A, he’s averaging over 13 Ks per nine with a 26.4% K-BB rate on the season. At the same time, his ERA sits at nearly 6.00, though expected stats suggest he’s a full run better than his actuals. Either way, the youngster is showing that elite bat-missing potential that could turn into future fantasy output.
- The Rays’ system is so deep in talent, and even with pop-up guys like Tatis Gray drawing so much attention this season, Caden Bodine’s performance continues to be the most impressive. After a stellar career at Coastal Carolina, the Orioles drafted Bodine in the first round of 2025 and then traded him to TB this offseason for Shane Baz. Bodine has played 53 games across two levels this season and has a .349 average with 25 extra-base hits (8 HR) and a 9.1% walk rate. But the remarkable stat is his 4.6% strikeout rate and 90.3% overall contact rate. Even though he’s now jumped to High-A, Bodine is still striking out less than 6% of the time and is still producing plenty of offensive output. His offensive approach and bat-to-ball skills were clearly too much for Class A, but now he’s showing why he should probably be in Double-A sooner rather than later.
- Back in 2024, right-hander Owen Wild was a name that kept surfacing every time I’d dig in on MiLB with above-average skills. That season, Wild posted a 2.82 ERA and 24.1% K-BB rate across 121 1/3 innings at two levels of A-ball. Wild struggled to replicate his performance last season at Double-A and saw everything take a step back, but 2026 has been a much different story. Returning to Double-A and now working out of the bullpen, Wild generated a 3.43 ERA in 21 innings, striking out more than 14 per nine. That excellent start has earned him a promotion, as he makes his way up to AAA Durham in his age-23 season.
- 22-year-old Nolan Perry has been one of the best pitchers in the minors this season, and he continued to shine during May. Over five starts, Perry logged 25 innings, allowing just three earned runs with 40 strikeouts against nine walks. His season-long ERA sits at 1.37 across two levels with a strikeout rate of 41.4% and a K-BB rate of 32.8%. Perry has jumped inside many Top 100 lists and should be getting a bump to Double-A New Hampshire over the next few weeks.
- On the offensive side, one of the biggest prospect breakouts for the Jays has been Sean Keys, a third baseman who just earned a promotion to Triple-A. In 2026, Keys is batting .290 with 15 homers and six steals, while walking at a 14.2% rate. His 15 homers, 47 runs, and 158 wRC+ lead all qualified Jays’ MiLB hitters, while he also ranks in the Top 10 in average, OBP, SLG, and ISO. There are still some concerns about the overall hit tool and how his power will translate to the upper minors, but Keys is certainly a guy on the rise in 2026.
AL Central
- Massive changes incoming for the Chicago White Sox. The benefits of last season’s performances are starting to matter less and less, and there is a big shakeup even beyond Hagen Smith dropping to seventh. George Wolkow drops off the board entirely, thanks to continued issues with striking out at the plate. His 33 stolen bases in 116 Low-A games from last year look like an extreme outlier, with only three to his name in 60 High-A games this season. Christian Oppor is in a similar place, having been sent back to the complex after posting a 9.49 ERA in eight Double-A starts this season. After allowing five earned runs in his June 10 outing, there is something clearly wrong with the southpaw. Jacob Gonzalez and David Sandlin got the call since our last update, and do not forget about William Bergolla Jr.!
- Well, we all knew things would change for the Cleveland Guardians in this update. Chase DeLauter and Travis Bazzana both graduate, leaving a big void in the 1-2 holes. There is a valid discussion to be had on who should take the top spot, but I have to go with Ralphy Velazquez over Angel Genao for now. Robert Arias has made Low-A look easy as pie, with the 19-year-old Dominican walking more than he is striking out while posting a .171 ISO and swiping 21 bases. Invest in him now if you have the opportunity. Infielder Luke Hill was not on my radar heading into 2026, but he is on fire at the plate and has already earned a promotion to Double-A. Khal Stephen and Welbyn Francisca have not been so great to start the season, while Aaron Walton and Justin Campbell have been exceptional thus far in 2026.
- Another team, another top prospect graduation. Kevin McGonigle is currently the consensus favorite to win the 2026 American League Rookie of the Year, albeit with an underwhelming Detroit Tigers team. Max Clark takes the top spot, looking to bounce back from a slow start to the season. Bryce Rainer got the call to High-A while posting career numbers in the power department.
- Lefty Ben Jacobs is still making the adjustment to High-A, but there is a lot to like about his strikeout production in 11 appearances this season. There is a lot of volatility in this group, thanks to guys like Cris Rodriguez, Kelvis Salcedo, and Michael Oliveto. John Peck turned some heads in the field spring training camp and is doing big things with the stick in Double-A, even if the strikeouts are at career-worst levels.
- It is slim pickings for the Kansas City Royals, who undoubtedly have the worst farm system in this division. Blake Mitchell took back the top prospect spot from Carter Jensen, but the three-true-outcomes label is starting to cement itself on the athletic backstop. Kendry Chourio just got the call to High-A, pitching as one of the youngest arms at that level since Eury Perez. Angeibel Gomez is making the DSL look absurdly easy, with no strikeouts and a .250 ISO in eight games thus far. 2025 draftee Justin Lamkin is the real riser for this organization, with 43 strikeouts against 14 walks in 39.2 innings pitched between Double-A and High-A. Still, this organization lacks the kind of franchise-changing talent the big league roster desperately needs.
- The Minnesota Twins have exceeded some expectations in 2026, and that applies to the farm system as well. The organization boasts two of the best dynasty prospects in baseball in Walker Jenkins and Kaelen Culpepper, especially with Jenkins looking more comfortable at Triple-A. Riley Quick was a pitcher I loved in the 2025 Draft process, and he has shown up in his first professional season, fanning 40.3% of the batters he has faced. Jhomnardo Reyes could be on a rise similar to Royals’ Kendry Chourio last year, after parlaying a great DSL showing into a strong stateside debut. The organization raves about his work ethic, with farm director Drew MacPhail describing his complex performance as “incredible.” He is one to keep an eye on if this lasts another month.
AL West
- The Angels’ farm system continues to be headlined by last year’s No. 2 overall pick, Tyler Bremner. The right-hander has been everything the organization hoped for in his first full professional season, posting a 2.19 ERA through eight starts while striking out 37 batters in just 24 innings. His combination of premium stuff and bat-missing ability has quickly established him as one of the top pitching prospects in baseball, and he should continue moving rapidly through the Angels’ system.
- One notable graduate from these rankings is Denzer Guzman, who made his major league debut a few weeks ago and has already become a solid contributor. Through his first seven games with the Angels, Guzman is slashing .267 and has shown the contact skills that made him one of the organization’s top prospects. As he settles in at the major league level, the next step will be tapping into more game power to become an everyday fixture in the Angels’ lineup.
- Two of the biggest risers in this update are outfielders Raudi Rodriguez and Hayden Alvarez, who now rank ninth and 10th, respectively. Rodriguez has quietly put together one of the more underrated seasons in the minors, hitting .288 with a .403 on-base percentage, a .470 slugging percentage, a 15.4% walk rate, and 28 stolen bases in 60 games at Double-A. His advanced plate discipline and speed make him a prospect to watch closely. Alvarez has been equally impressive, slashing .319/.420/.504 with a .924 OPS while adding 33 stolen bases. Both players possess an exciting blend of power, speed, and athleticism that gives the Angels two intriguing long-term offensive pieces who could make an impact at the major league level in the coming years.
- While the Rangers may not boast one of the highest-rated farm systems in baseball, the organization’s top prospects have continued to perform well this season. Sebastian Walcott remains the clear No. 1 prospect in the system despite currently being sidelined with an injury. One of the biggest developments has been the return of right-hander Caden Scarborough, who is back on the mound after missing time. The talented pitcher has looked sharp in High-A, posting a 3.07 ERA through five starts while recording a strong 27.4% strikeout rate. As he continues to build up his workload and innings, Scarborough has the upside to become one of the fastest-rising pitching prospects heading into next season.
- The newest addition to this list is catcher Malcolm Moore, the Rangers’ first-round selection in the 2024 MLB Draft. Moore has continued to develop into one of the organization’s most intriguing hitters, batting .294 while slugging .531 with 10 home runs this season. He has also maintained an outstanding approach at the plate, carrying an 18.9% walk rate as he continues to reach base at an impressive clip. Recently promoted to Double-A, Moore will now face his toughest test against upper-level pitching. If he continues producing at this pace, he could quickly establish himself as one of the premier catching prospects in baseball.
- Kade Anderson continues to headline this talented Mariners farm system and has established himself as one of the premier pitching prospects in all of baseball. The left-hander has been dominant through 11 starts, posting an eye-popping 41.2% strikeout rate while walking just 3.5% of opposing hitters. His 1.13 ERA across 55 innings at Double-A further highlights just how overpowering he has been. With his advanced command, swing-and-miss arsenal, and consistent production, Anderson may soon leave the Mariners with no choice but to promote him to the major league rotation.
- Lazaro Montes continues to showcase some of the best raw power in the minor leagues, slugging .555 with 20 home runs already this season. His middle-of-the-order upside has been on full display, and he appears to be closing in on a big league opportunity alongside standout shortstop Colt Emerson. Another player continuing to impress is Felnin Celesten, who made one of the biggest jumps in the previous rankings and has backed it up with a stellar campaign. The talented infielder is hitting .313 with a .419 on-base percentage and an .895 OPS, further cementing himself as one of Seattle’s fastest-rising prospects. Overall, the Mariners boast one of the deepest and most well-rounded farm systems in baseball, featuring impact talent at nearly every level. Expect several members of this group to make their major league debuts before the end of the season.
- The Athletics‘ top prospects remain unchanged at the top, with Leo De Vries and Jamie Arnold continuing to lead the way. Gage Jump has reclaimed a top-three ranking thanks to an excellent start to his major league career. The left-hander has posted a 3.21 ERA with just six walks across 23.1 innings, looking every bit like a long-term fixture in the Athletics‘ rotation. With his early success at the big league level, Jump will likely graduate from prospect status in the near future.
- Henry Bolte has also climbed into the top five after emerging as an impact player for the Athletics this season. Through his first taste of major league action, Bolte is hitting .326 with a .400 OBP and an .813 OPS. His combination of power and speed continues to excite both Athletics fans and dynasty managers, as he possesses the tools to contribute across multiple fantasy categories for years to come.
- Joshua Kuroda-Grauer is another name dynasty managers should keep a close eye on. While he did not move up the rankings in this update, his performance has been outstanding. Across Double-A and Triple-A, Kuroda-Grauer is hitting .319 with seven home runs and an .848 OPS. His blend of hitting ability, power, and speed gives him significant upside, and he appears to be positioning himself for a major league promotion later this summer if he continues producing at this level.
- The Astros’ farm system has struggled to produce standout performances so far this season. However, top prospects Xavier Neyens and Kevin Alvarez remain firmly at the top of the organization’s rankings as they continue to showcase the tools and upside needed to become impact players at the major league level.
- One new addition to this list is Cole Hertzler. The 6-foot-4, 235-pound right-hander has put together an impressive season at High-A, highlighted by an elite changeup with significant fade and a fastball that sits in the mid-to-upper 90s. This is one of the first stretches of sustained health in his professional career, so he will still need to prove he can handle a full-season workload. So far, though, the results have been excellent. Hertzler owns a 2.63 ERA with a .172 batting average against while recording 66 strikeouts in 48 innings. His 12.4 K/9 demonstrates his ability to consistently miss bats and put hitters away.
- Another riser on this list is reliever Alimber Santa. Santana has enjoyed an outstanding season at the major league level, posting a 0.71 ERA across eight appearances for Houston. He has quickly established himself as a reliable bullpen option and appears poised to continue building on his strong debut campaign. If he can maintain this level of performance, Santana could carve out a consistent role in the Astros’ bullpen for years to come.
