Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report – Week 3

The 2025 fantasy baseball season is underway, and many of Major League Baseball’s top prospects have won roster spots for their respective teams. Top prospects like Kristian Campbell, Jackson Jobe, Matt Shaw, and Jasson Dominguez now have full-time roles with their teams, and several others will soon graduate from prospect status by the summer. However, there are still a plethora of big names that are making a name for themselves in the minor leagues to get more seasoning before making their MLB debuts.

This weekly piece will look at some of the best prospects from a fantasy perspective and track their production. Below is a report of the top 25 Major League Baseball hitting prospects who have yet to make it to the Major Leagues. As players on this list graduate to the big leagues, more names will fill in as we track the top prospects for dynasty and keeper fantasy baseball leagues.

After this week, the stats will look at what these prospects have done in the past seven days as opposed to their cumulative numbers on the season.

Fantasy Baseball Prospect Report

Roman Anthony, BOS, RF

• Roman Anthony has had a tough start with his batting average (only .167) but with two home runs and eight walks in his first 32 plate appearances, his slash line is up to .167/.375/.500 in AAA. Anthony currently has a 25% walk rate.

Sebastian Walcott, TEX, SS

• Through 13 plate appearances in AA, Sebastian Walcot is destroying pitching, hitting .333/.385/.500 with a stolen base on his ledger as well. He will not be in AA long if he continues to mash at that level.

Sebastian Walcott just singled in a run for the Riders on a ball hit 107 mph off the bat. His highest exit velos of the weekend:

107
108
109
111

He’s 19 years old.

Samuel Basallo, BAL, C

• Samuel Basallo’s visit to AAA has been a mixed bag so far through 22 plate appearances. He is hitting .250/.318/.550 with two home runs and 11 RBI. The run production is nice, but he is not getting on base at the level he is used to in the lower minors.

Dalton Rushing, LAD, C

• Dalton Rushing’s time in AAA has looked very good so far, and he may not be far from a promotion. He is hitting .346/.455/.538 in 33 plate appearances, including 14 total bases. He needs to cut down on the 33% strikeout rate before he comes up to the Dodgers.

Carson Williams, TBR, SS

• Through 33 plate appearances, 21-year-old Carson Williams has had a tough time adapting to AAA. He is hitting just .185/.333/.185 with a 36% strikeout rate. He is very young for the AAA level and has plenty of time to work out his adjustments.

Aidan Miller, PHI, SS

• Aidan Miller’s AA season just started, so he only has 10 plate appearances under his belt. He does have a strong .556 slugging percentage in that span including a home run to go along with a couple of other hits.

Jordan Lawlar, ARI, SS

• Jordan Lawlar was passed over when the Arizona Diamondbacks needed a replacement for injured Ketel Marte, but that doesn’t mean Lawlar isn’t playing well. He is hitting .294/.415/.382 with four stolen bases and a 12% walk rate through 42 plate appearances.

3 for 4 with 3 RBI? Jordan Lawlar is SO back 😈

His single makes it 8-2 in the 8th 🤝 pic.twitter.com/R1DOI3WAnI

Emmanuel Rodriguez, MIN, CF

• Emmanuel Rodriguez has had one of the toughest adjustments of all top prospects to the AAA level. In his 23 plate appearances there, he is hitting .235/.435/.294. The on-base percentage is great, but he has a 39% strikeout rate so far and has to cut that number down.

Ethan Salas, SDP, C

• Ethan Salas is just getting started in his AA season, and is hitting .125/.125/.125 through eight plate appearances.

Nick Kurtz, ATH, 1B

• Nick Kurtz looks like he is ready for the Major Leagues right now. He is hitting .412/.459/.882 with four home runs in 38 plate appearances. The problem is, he has Brent Rooker and Tyler Soderstrom blocking his way.

Coby Mayo, BAL, 1B/3B

• After 17 plate appearances with Baltimore in 2024, Mayo is back in AAA for some seasoning to get him ready for the Majors. However, he is hitting just .152/.275/.303 and is 23 in AAA. He does have power and speed, but also has the 30% strikeout rate that is keeping so many rookies from being good.

Jac Caglianone, KC, 1B

• Jac Caglianone may be blocked by Vinnie Pasquantino right now in Kansas City, but he is having a monster start to AA. Caglianone is hitting .385/.412/.692 with a lot of power. He will be moving up soon, and it’s just a matter of time before he makes it to he big leagues.

Marcelo Mayer, BOS, SS

• Marcelo Mayer is making his case for a big league promotion sometime this season with a .267/.313/.467 line in AAA with two home runs, nine RBI, and a stolen base.

Colt Emerson, SEA, SS

• Through his first 13 plate appearances in High-A ball, Emerson is hitting .400/.538/.700. Like many of his peers, he needs to cut down on his 31% strikeout rate, but he should get a promotion with these kinds of numbers if he keeps it up.

Kyle Teel, CHW, C

• One of the game’s top catching prospects has 4o plate appearances during AAA and has had mixed results. He is hitting .235/.350/.471. Not bad numbers by any means, but he has shown nice pop with two home runs.

Max Clark, DET, CF

• The fifth overall prospect in all of baseball is just starting at the A+ level, and he has a .400/.626/.700 line through 16 plate appearances. At just 20 years old, if this kind of production continues, he should be able to fly through the lower levels of the minor leagues.

Kevin McGonigle, DET, SS

• Kevin McGonigle is proving to be too good for his level in the early going. He is hitting .400/.400/.800 in A+, albeit in a very small sample size. At 20 years old, the Tigers hope McGongile improves to the point where he can be their shortstop sooner rather than later.

Leo De Vries, SDP, SS

• Leo De Vries is one of the youngest prospects on this list for 2025. He began in High-A this season and has a .375 batting average through nine plate appearances in that league. His 33.3% strikeout rate is certainly a product of age and inexperience.

George Lombard Jr., NYY, SS

• Another young kid doing well in the minor leagues is 19-year-old George Lombard, who began the year in the A+ level. Through 14 plate appearances, he is hitting .300/.429/.500 and is holding his own at that level on both offense and defense.

Jesús Made, MIL, 2B

• Made is the absolutely youngest player on this list at age 17, and he started the year in low-A ball. He has not made an adjustment there through two games, and has a .000/.200/.000 line through that time. His plate discipline and walk rate (40%) are very impressive for someone so young.

Travis Bazzana, CLE, 2B

• One of the top 2024 draft picks, Bazzana started in AA and is destroying that league at 22 years of age. He is hitting .538/.600/.846 through 15 plate appearances. There could be a promotion to AAA in his near future if he proves his college career preparation should put him ahead of AA.

Travis Bazzana performed like a No. 1 overall pick last week.

He ranks as one of the hottest prospects in baseball on this week’s Hot Sheet.

Colson Montgomery, CHW, SS

• The start in AAA has not been kind to the 23-year-old shortstop for Chicago. He is hitting .097/.200/.194 and has 18 strikeouts in 35 plate appearances. Tough start, but the White Sox can afford to take it slow.

Lazaro Montes, SEA, OF

• Montes might be having the best early season of any player below Double-A. He is hitting .429/.692/.1.143 in the minor leagues this year and looks already like he is primed for a promotion. He is 20 years old and should soon graduate from AA.

Thayron Liranzo, DET, C

• Detroit catcher of the future Thayron Liranzo is now in AA as a 21-year-old and has an identical 37.5% walk rate and 37.5% strikeout rate in his first two games. More evaluation is needed to see how Liranzo is doing in AA.

Kevin Alcántara, CHC, CF

• It’s not been a good start for Kevin Alcantara in AAA this season. Through 26 plate appearances, he has a .174/.269/.217 line, but he has plenty of time to improve. With the seasons Kyle Tucker, Ian Happ, and Seiya Suzuki are having, there will be plenty of time to get some seasoning in AAA for Alcantara.
