Every weekend, I will be posting about the minor leaguers you should be stashing on your team. This list will be arranged by impact for this year only. Players that will be called up sooner will be ahead of players with more talent who might only be called up late in the year. Prospects are a great way to stay ahead of everyone else rather you are in a dynasty league or a 10-team league. With the minor league season going, we can start seeing some movement with this list. With more and more games to evaluate, new players will jump onto the list, while others could fall off entirely.
1) Tyler Mahle, Cincinnati Reds AAA, ETA: August
Across two levels, Tyler Mahle’s has a 1.97 ERA through 132.1 innings. He is a command and control specialist. He has struck out 129 and walked only 29 batters. A solid 4.45 K/BB Ratio and a .194 BAA leads to an impressive 0.91 WHIP. Mahle might not have the skills of Brent Honeywell but I love control pitchers and he has the stuff to make an immediate impact.
