NOTE: Rookie status is determined by 130 ABs, or 50 IPs at the Major League level. | All stats as of Sunday, August 26th.

MLB Hitters:

1. 3B Junior Caminero (Rays)

  • 2024 AAA: .269/.326/.486 | 7 BB% / 21.1 K%| 21 XBH, 12 HR, 1 SB
  • This Week (MLB): 7/26 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 21
  • fScores: 101 fContact, 80 fDiscipline, 124 fPower, 78 fSpeed
  • Comp: Ronald Acuna w/o the wheels
  • Notes: Back-to-back games with homers this week.
  • Prime Skills: Probably the quickest bat speed in the minors with some big time power potential. He could be one of the best hitters in baseball sooner rather than later. The lack of a higher walk rate and being overly aggressive might ding him a bit in points leagues, but the power will be his carrying tool right out of the gate as he should at worst put up numbers similar to Willy Adames, but with a better batting average. He’s running a 92.6 average EV at the time of this writing in AAA and has an over 117 max EV on the season; only six major league hitters have posted a higher max EV this season. Caminero also has a higher average launch angle than guys like William Contreras and Vlad Guerrero Jr., the batted ball profile looks pretty similar to Ketel Marte in 2024.

10. OF Dylan Crews (Nationals)

  • 2024 AA/AAA: .267/.339/.448 | 8.8 BB%, 15.9 K% (AAA) | 37 XBH, 10 HR, 21 SB
  • This Week (AAA): 7/20 | 1 XBH, 1 HR, 2 SB
  • Age: 22
  • fScores: 96 fContact, 77 fDiscipline, 99 fPower, 120 fSpeed
  • Comp: Nick Castellanos with Speed
  • Notes: Crews has been great in AAA the last few weeks and was called up to debut on Monday.
  • Prime Skills: He has great all fields power, he’s a good defender and he has a great eye at the plate. The speed is slightly above average (he has improved this aspect of his game since last season) and he’s more of an all around XBH / damage guy than a home run threat.

65. SS Jacob Wilson (Athletics)

  • 2024 AA/AAA: .438/.475/.687 | 7.8 BB%, 3.3 K% (AAA ball) | 32 XBH, 7 HR, 2 SB
  • This Week: 6/16 | 2 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 22
  • Notes: Wilson is healthy again and getting his hits in since returning to action at AAA – he should be back up soon.
  • Comp: Nico Hoerner with a little bit of power, rather than speed
  • Prime Skills: Wilson was a first rounder last year and has gotten the bump to AAA after decimating AA pitchers. He’s been a doubles machine, it almost looks like he’s been at batting practice since the draft because he’s been generating so many hits. I thought the pick was a reach when the Athletics drafted him, but he’s moving quickly and is hitting at every level.

OF Jhonkensy Noel (Guardians)

  • Season (AAA): .295/.359/.578 | 6.7 BB% / 21.1 K% | 35 XBH, 18 HR, 1 SB
  • Season (MLB): .266/.331/.615 | 5.8 BB%, 29.8 K% | 16 XBH, 11 HR, 0 SB
  • This Week: 7/18 | 4 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
  • Notes: Noel has shown himself to be a really solid power bat with some swing and miss, but the ability to do some big time damage. He’s almost like their Marcel Ozuna with more Ks.

2B Connor Norby (Orioles)

  • Season (AAA Orioles): .297/.389/.506 | 12.5 BB% / 27.7 K%| 38 XBH, 13 HR, 16 SB
  • This Week (MLB): 6/21 | 4 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
  • Notes: Norby was finally called up, just when I thought he was about to become Michael Busch the second and he’s looking good so far while playing a new position, third base.

MLB Pitchers:

  • N/A

AAA Hitters:

3. OF Jasson Dominguez (Yankees)

  • 2024 AAA: .298/.356/.444 | 7.4 BB%, 20 K% | 10 XBH, 4 HR, 12 SB (31 games)
  • This Week: 9/24 | 2 XBH, 1 HR, 4 SB
  • Age: 21
  • fScores: 104 fContact, 78 fDiscipline, 119 fPower, 147 fSpeed
  • Comp: Switch hitting Mookie Betts-light
  • Prime Skills: Dominguez has top notch plate skills, while also demonstrating he can be a game changer on the base paths. He smashes pitches high in the zone from both sides of the plate, but needs to work on lifting pitches low in the zone instead of smashing them into the ground. He was doing a good job of this before the injury at the major league level in 2023.

6. OF Roman Anthony (Red Sox)

  • 2024 AA: .269/.367/.489 | 12.8 BB%, 23.5 K% | 38 XBH, 15 HR, 16 SB
    • This Week (AAA): 12/25 | 5 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 20
  • fScores: N/A (need AAA statcast data)
  • Prime Skills: Very good eye with a strong power tool for a young kid who still needs to fill out. He could be a five tool guy, but needs to be more consistent on the base paths for steals to be a big part of his game long term.

43. 2B/OF Kristian Campbell (Red Sox)

  • 2024 A+/AA: .346/.453/.569 | 13.7 BB% / 14.9 K% (AA ball) | 52 XBH, 18 HR, 21 SB
  • This Week (AAA): 9/23 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 1 SB
  • Age: 21
  • Comp: Bigger Gleyber Torres
  • Prime Skills: Big righty picked in the fourth round out of Georgia Tech last year with a killer hit tool to pair with a 20/20-like profile. He has a big frame with a pretty sweet swing and has shown more power than the scouting grades have given him, especially from the pull side and has not really shown off his 60 grade speed on the base paths yet.

58. 1B Deyvison De Los Santos (Marlins)

  • 2024 AA/AAA: .318/.375/.623 | 5.2 BB%, 22.9 K% | 59 XBH, 35 HR, 1 SB
  • This Week: 10/26 | 5 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 21
  • fScores: 104 fContact, 62 fDiscipline, 122 fPower, 66 fSpeed
  • Comp: Cristian Encarnacion-Strand
  • Prime Skills: Big time power potential with an improved contact rate and decrease in strikeouts this season. De Los Santos has rocked a 116 max EV this year (better than Mayo) and has about a 92 average EV in AAA this season.

59. OF Chase DeLauter (Guardians)

  • 2024 AA: .252/.328/.441 | 10.9 BB%, 14.8 K% | 11 XBH, 5 HR, 1 SB
  • This Week: 3/13 | 2 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 22
  • fScores (May): 98 fContact, 111 fDiscipline, 101 fPower, 80 fSpeed
  • Comp: Josh Lowe and lefty Matt Holliday mash
  • Prime Skills: He’s shown a really strong hit tool and has some unrealized power in his small sample size at the minor league level. The pull power from his college days is tantalizing. Coming off injury, we just need to see some health from this doubles machine.

60. 2B James Triantos (Cubs)

  • 2024 AA/AAA: .297/.352/.375 | 8.5 BB%, 14.1 K% (AAA ball) | 34 XBH, 7 HR, 44 SB
  • This Week: 8/24 | 2 XBH, 0 HR, 3 SB
  • Age: 21
  • Comp: Luis Rengifo
  • Prime Skills: Good hit tool with a solid set of wheels and some developing pull power from the right side. He’s a bigger kid who projects for more power than he’s shown at this point in his minor league career.

109. 2B / SS / 3B Thomas Saggese (Cardinals)

  • 2024 AAA: .247/.309/.433 | 6.1 BB%, 23.2 K% | 41 XBH, 18 HR, 9 SB
  • This Week: 3/18 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 22
  • Pre-season fScores: 96 fContact, 82 fDiscipline, 100 fPower, 98 fSpeed
  • Comp: Righty Matt Carpenter with more speed
  • Prime Skills: Saggesse has a good hit tool, very solid plate skills and underrated power and speed for a guy that plays multiple infield positions.

C Drake Baldwin (Braves):

  • Season: .309/.425/.490 | 17.1 BB% / 13.8 K%| 17 XBH, 9 HR, 0 SB
  • This Week: 7/22 | 2 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
  • Notes: Baldwin really hit my radar at the prospect future’s game, but he’s blocked by Travis d’Arnaud for now on the big league club.

AAA Pitchers:

  • 2024 A+/AA: 95 2/3 IP | 17.3 K-BB%, 11.6 SwStr%, 30.1 CSW% | 4.05 ERA, 1.22 WHIP
    • This Week: 6 IP | 7 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP
  • Age: 22
  • Prime Skills: He has three above average pitches and is known for his pin-point control. His change up and 2-seamer are both nasty. He’s a smart pitcher and knows how to mix well, but the question is how much GASP will hurt him. He should be striking out more guys than he has based on his swinging strike and CSW ratings and it should carry forward into more Ks.

SP Michael McGreevy (Cardinals)

  • Season: 133 IP | 13.4 K-BB%, 9.6 SwStr% | 4.13 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
  • This Week: 10 2/3 IP (2 starts) | 9 Ks, 4 BBs | 3.69 ERA, 1.31 WHIP
  • Notes: McGreevy has been up and down and looked pretty good in the majors.

SP Jack Leiter (Rangers)

  • Season (AAA): 77 IP | 22.7 K-BB%, 15.6 SwStr% | 3.51 ERA, 1.26 WHIP
  • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 9 Ks, 1 BBs | 1.59 ERA, 0.88 WHIP
  • Notes: Leiter has been good at AAA this season, but has been terrible up in the majors. Can he make the leap up?

SP Thomas Harrington (Pirates)

  • Season (AA/AAA): 94 2/3 IP | 23.7 K-BB%, 12.7 SwStr% | 2.38 ERA, 0.92 WHIP
  • This Week: 6 IP | 6 Ks, 0 BBs | 1.50 ERA, 0.33 WHIP (2 hits)
  • Notes: Harrington has been solid all season and is establishing himself at AAA right now.

AA Hitters:

33. 1B Nick Kurtz (Athletics)

  • 2024 College: .306/.531/.763 | 34 XBH, 22 HR, 4 SB
  • 2024 A+/AA: 14/38 | 7 XBH, 4 HR, 1 SB
  • This Week: 5/16 | 2 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB
  • Age: 21
  • Comp: Joey Votto
  • Prime Skills: Big time plate skills with above average power and a very solid hit tool. Think Kyle Manzardo with more power and a higher ceiling on the hit tool.

SS Gage Workman (Tigers):

  • Season: .267/.358/.450 | 12.2 BB% / 27.3 K%| 44 XBH, 14 HR, 26 SB
  • This Week: 10/26, 5 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB
  • Notes: Workman has been on this list a few times this season and could work his way into a super utility role in the majors.

Fantasy Baseball Waiver Wire Assistant Analyze Moves Who To Pick Up

AA Pitchers:

12. SP Jackson Jobe (Tigers)

  • 2024 AA: 65 IP | 13.3 K-BB%, 12 SwStr%, 37.9 CSW% (select stadiums only) | 2.08 ERA, 1.09 WHIP
    • This Week: 11 1/3 (2 starts) | 12 Ks, 7 BBs | 2.38 ERA, 1.15 WHIP
  • Age: 21
    • Notes: I threw Jobe on here, because he’s had some command issues recently I wanted to highlight.
  • Prime Skills: Excellent command of his pitches for a guy his age and has a ton of spin on his pitches. The fastball is riding as an above average pitch, but it allows him to use his elite slider to get Ks. The walk rate is higher this year, but I think it’s an aberration and wouldn’t be too concerned.

36. SP Quinn Mathews (Cardinals)

  • 2024 A/A+/AA: 126 2/3 IP | 26.6 K-BB%, 15.2 SwStr%, 35.4 CSW% (AA ball) | 2.27 ERA, 0.85 WHIP
    • This Week: 7 2/3 | 12 Ks, 1 BB | 1.17 ERA, 0.39 WHIP (2 hits)
  • Age: 23
  • Prime Skills: Matthews is a big college lefty with a ridiculous fastball / slider combo with a big fastball sitting between 95-97 MPH with some elite rise to it and the slider is a swing and miss machine paired with that fastball. He has elite command of these pitches and has shown himself in college to be a workhorse. He also has a curve and a 60/65 grade change up he didn’t even need when I saw him in A ball.

40. SP Caden Dana (Angels)

  • 2024 AA: 129 2/3 IP | 19.6 K-BB%, 12.4 SwStr%, 29.6 CSW% | 2.64 ERA, 0.95 WHIP
    • This Week: 8 IP | 9 Ks, 2BBs | 1.13 ERA, 0.63 WHIP
  • Age: 20
  • Prime Skills: Dana looks like old school Thor on the mound with his Viking hair, 94-95 MPH fastball and power slider. The curve is only average, but he has a pretty nifty two seamer to pair against the four seamer with some nice ride.

47. SP Chase Dollander (Rockies)

  • 2024 A+/AA: 102 IP | 27.7 K-BB%, 18.4 SwStr%, 31.4 CSW% (A+ ball) | 2.47 ERA, 1.17 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 10 Ks, 2 BBs | 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP
  • Age: 22
  • Prime Skills: Big time fastball with a slider and curve. The major questions are if he can correct back to his 2022 levels and if he can figure out how to pitch in Colorado. The fastball sits in the high 90s, while the curve has been a deadly tunnel pitch with guys swinging right over the top of it.

117. SP Kumar Rocker (Rangers)

  • 2024 CPX/AA: 18 IP | 38.5 K-BB%, 26.7 SwStr%, 28.9 CSW% (AA ball) | 2.50 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
    • This Week: 4 2/3 IP | 8 Ks, 1 BB | 0.00 ERA, 0.86 WHIP
  • Age: 24
  • Prime Skills: Big boy with a dominant fastball / slider combo. He throws 97-99 with one of the best hard vertical sliders you will see. There’s a below average changeup in there too he has to throw in order to mix things up.

118. SP K.C. Hunt (Brewers)

  • Season A/A+/AA: 85 2/3 IP | 28.3 K-BB%, 17.9 SwStr%, 34.1 CSW% (A+ ball) | 2.21 ERA, 0.91 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BB | 3.18 ERA, 1.06 WHIP
  • Age: 23
  • Prime Skills: He’s a 12th rounder from Mississippi state on that George Klassen, Zebby Matthews, Quinn Mathews ride. He lives 93-94 with a five pitch mix and Baseball Performance Center gave him a Trevor Bauer comp. He has an 86 MPH hard slider against a ridiculous 80 mph 12/6 hook that is simply disgusting.

129. SP Drue Hackenberg (Braves)

  • Season A+/AA: 105 1/3 IP | 24 K-BB%, 13.7 SwStr%, 29.4 CSW% | 3.42 ERA, 1.25 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 7 Ks, 3 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 1.40 WHIP
  • Age: 22
  • Prime Skills: The Braves 2nd rounder last year (got some crap during the draft for picking him that high) he has some decent fade on the fastball, but the slider and curve are his money pitches. The cutter makes the fastball play up some and he’s kind of a kitchen sink type with five or six different pitches at his disposal and has an almost old school approach as more of a pitcher than thrower.

SP Ian Seymour (Rays):

  • Season (AA/AAA): 123 1/3 IP | 21.3 K-BB%, 15.8 SwStr% | 2.41 ERA, 0.91 WHIP
  • This Week: 5 2/3 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BBs | 1.59 ERA, 0.71 WHIP
  • Notes: Seymour is older for the level, but he’s destroying and is a name to watch with the Rays in the even Alexander doesn’t work out as a starter or they run into more injuries before Springs and Rasmussen return in the second half.

SP Isaac Coffey (Red Sox)

  • Season: 97 IP | 18.5 K-BB%, 11.2 SwStr% | 3.34 ERA, 1.26 WHIP
  • This Week: 5 IP | 11 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.80 WHIP
  • Notes: I had Coffey at the end of my Top 150 to start the season and he’s been good, but the big one here for me is I thought he would be in AAA by now and even though we get these outings where he dominates with his funky arm action, there are others that are absolute clunkers.

A+ Hitters:

  • 2024 A/A+: .285/.408/.425 | 18.5 BB%, 11.3 K% (A ball) | 20 XBH, 4 HR, 8 SB
    • This Week: 9/25 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 2 SB
  • Age: 19
  • Comp: Larry Walker
  • Prime Skills: Big, strong lefty for his age and one of the top five guys from the 2023 draft class. He has a ton of pull power, but can hit for extra base hits through all fields. Jenkins’ carrying tool thus far has been the combo of his excellent hit tool (86% contact rate and 91.8 Z-contact% at A ball) alongside his killer plate skills. He hasn’t grown into the game power yet and has been primarily a doubles hitter, but he was also in the Florida League where all his games are at sea level in the muggy Fort Myers stadium (basically no breeze, literally the hottest stadium I’ve been to in my life and when there is breeze it’s blowing in, not out).

35. OF Josue De Paula (Dodgers)

  • 2024 A/A+: .250/.381/.393 | 21 BB%, 18.5 K% (A+ ball) | 27 XBH, 10 HR, 19 SB
  • This Week:
  • Age: 19
  • Comp: Lefty Jordan Walker
  • Prime Skills: Big kid has a body that power can grow into with a solid hit tool, great plate skills and none zero speed. The plate skills have continued to grow even at high A, while a .236 BABIP has been dragging those high A level numbers down. The power should develop further as he grows into his big 6′ 3″ frame.

52. SS Aidan Miller (Phillies)

  • 2024 A/A+: .262/.375/.454 | 11.9 BB%, 24.9 K% (A+ ball) | 41 XBH, 10 HR, 21 SB
  • This Week: 9/20 | 5 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
  • Age: 20
  • Comp: Royce Lewis w/ a worse hit tool
  • Prime Skills: This dude is an athlete, I had a live look on him and he’s really just a super athlete and a gamer. A lot of people thought he would move off SS to 3B, but he looks super smooth and athletic and he should stay at SS as long as he can. Miller has a great eye at the plate with only a 19.5% chase rate at A ball and has great EVs for his age at an average of 87.5 and max over 108. The hit tool is only average and needs the most work, but he gets an ideal launch angle and is adept at barreling when he does make contact.

90. SS Cooper Pratt (Brewers)

  • 2024 A/A+: .279/.365/.403 | 12.2 BB%, 18.3 K% (A ball) | 25 XBH, 7 HR, 27 SB
  • This Week: 6/24 | 3 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
  • Age: 19
  • Comp: Giant Ha-Seong Kim
  • Prime Skills: Pratt is a huge athletic SS that is far away as a high school guy, but has five-tool potential, especially due to his size.

103. 2B Termarr Johnson (Pirates)

  • 2024 A+: .235/.371/.384 | 16.1 BB%, 21.7 K% | 31 XBH, 13 HR, 19 SB
  • This Week: 5/20 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 4 SB
  • Age: 20
  • Comp: Short Jason Kipnis, might have some Dozier-esk or Brandon Phillips-esk seasons… Edouard Julien???
  • Prime Skills: Amazing plate skills for his age, but he’s super raw right now despite the plate discipline. Contact, power and speed have a lot of room to grow to figure out how good he can really end up.

1B Cam Collier (Reds)

  • Season: .256/.360/.455 | 12.9 BB% / 25.1 K%| 39 XBH, 19 HR, 1 SB
  • This Week: 8/19 | 5 XBH, 4 HR, 0 SB
  • Notes: Collier has huge weeks and then super cold weeks, he’s very streaky and gets a lot of headlines because of the big weeks even though he’s only been mediocre this season.

MLB DFS Lineup Optimizer

A+ Pitchers:

  • 2024 A/A+: 65 2/3 IP | 14.2 K-BB%, 12 SwStr%, 27 CSW% | 4.11 ERA, 1.29 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 7 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.60 WHIP
  • Age: 19
  • ETA: Late 2026
  • Prime Skills: Big fastball can hit 100 MPH as a high schooler. Seeing him live, the dude has at least five pitches. He runs in the 95-97 MPH zone on the fastball with excellent control, plus rocks a 94 MPH sinker (I think), 91 MPH sweeper, 85-86 MPH slider and a sick 82-84 MPH change up. The fastball, changeup and slider all netted some killer swinging strikes, while the sweeper looked like a frisbee with the movement it had.

91. SP Alejandro Rosario (Rangers)

  • 2024 A/A+: 82 2/3 IP | 30.6 K-BB%, 16.6 SwStr%, 35.7 CSW% (A+ ball) | 2.29 ERA, 0.92 WHIP
  • This Week: 5 IP | 9 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.40 WHIP
  • Age: 22
  • Comp: Bryan Woo
  • Prime Skills: Fifth round pick with a ridiculous 2 seam fastball at 96-98 with some crazy arm-side run that matches well with a mid 80s change up with beautiful fade. His big problem in college was control, but he seems to have fixed that in pro ball this year. The sinker is also a hell of a pitch, while he also has a below average 12-6 slider this dude is super underrated.

138. SP Matt Wilkinson (Guardians)

  • 2024 A/A+: 107 2/3 IP | 23.9 K-BB%, 14.2 SwStr%, 34.9 CSW% (A+ ball) | 1.92 ERA, 0.89 WHIP
  • This Week: 5 IP | 8 Ks, 1 BB | 3.60 ERA, 0.80 WHIP
  • Age: 21
  • Comp: Lefty Lance Lynn
  • Prime Skills: Matt Wilkinson (otherwise known as Tugboat) is a big bodied lefty who pounds the zone with a high ride low 90s running fastball (tons of movement), a nice 78-80 MPH sweeper and a change up.

SP Ryan Lobus (Rangers)

  • Season: 85 IP | 29 K-BB%, 16.7 SwStr% | 3.07 ERA, 0.99 WHIP
  • This Week: 5 IP | 10 Ks, 1 BBs | 3.60 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
  • Notes: Lobus has had a killer season and is another of these Zebby Matthews, Quinn Mathews, KC Hunt type pop-up prospects.

SP Emmett Olson (Marlins)

    • Season: 84 2/3 IP | 11.7 K-BB%, 10.7 SwStr% | 3.61 ERA, 1.31 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 9 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.40 WHIP
    • Notes: Olson has had a really tough time at high A vs. low A where he was striking everyone out, but this week may have been a breakthrough for him.

A Hitters:

125. OF Aidan Smith (Rays)

  • 2024 A: .284/.402/.470 | 14.5 BB% / 24.3 K%| 36 XBH, 9 HR, 28 SB
  • This Week: 6/17 | 3 XBH, 0 HR, 8 SB
  • Age: 19
  • Comp: Righty Josh Lowe – light
  • Prime Skills: There’s a new Aidan dominating A ball now that Aidan Miller is in high A and of course, it’s another killer Mariners prospect. Smith has been a doubles machine all year (19 doubles) and has been way better this year after being drafted out of high school last year, by hitting the ball on the ground way less (33.3% GB rate).

SS Arjun Nimala (Blue Jays)

  • Season: .234/.315/.482 | 8.4 BB% / 31.8 K%| 35 XBH, 14 HR, 6 SB
  • This Week: 10/23 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
  • Notes: Nimala has really turned his season around since coming back up from developmental league.

3B Cam Smith (Cubs):

  • Season: .311/.392/.733 | 11.8 BB% / 21.6 K%| 8 XBH, 5 HR, 1 SB
  • This Week: 10/22 | 6 XBH, 5 HR, 1 SB
  • Notes: Smith has been on an absolute tear and needs to be up in high A.

OF Ryan Waldschmidt (Diamondbacks):

  • Season: .286/.492/.333 | 21.3 BB% / 14.8 K%| 2 XBH, 0 HR, 4 SB
  • This Week: 5/13 | 2 XBH, 0 HR, 2 SB
  • Notes: I was shocked when Waldschmidt made it through the first round unselected, he has some big tools and is showing a great eye thus far.

OF Lucas Spence (Astros):

  • Season: .267/.377/.422 | 13.2 BB% / 20.8 K%| 3 XBH, 1 HR, 2 SB
  • This Week: 5/18 | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB
  • Notes: This kid was an undrafted FA and is on a tear a A ball to start his career.

A Pitchers:

  • 2024 A: 73 IP | 31.8 K-BB%, 21 SwStr%, 34.2 CSW% | 2.47 ERA, 0.85 WHIP
    • This Week: 5 IP | 10 Ks, 0 BBs | 1.80 ERA, 0.60 WHIP
  • Age: 20
  • Prime Skills: Sykora has some really sick stuff as a former third rounder and is a big time name to watch. He’s a giant at 6′ 6″ with a 44.4% whiff rate in the minors and needs to be up in A+ or AA at this point. Sykora rocks a mid 90s fastball with obviously ridiculous extension due to his size with more run than ride and he also has a devastating 81-83 mph splitter and 85 mph hard slider.
