Fantasy Baseball Prospects Report: Rankings & Stashes
I won’t be hitting every prospect every week, but will focus on the most relevant throughout the week and will follow up on other notable players post my Top 150 rankings. This article will not focus on any AAAA type players or veterans in the minors who have outlived their prospect status.
Full Top 150 Prospect Rankings:
Note: Rookie status is determined by 130 ABs, or 50 IPs at the Major League level. All stats as of Sunday, 5/25/2025.
MLB Hitters:
- 2B/3B Matt Shaw (Cubs)
2025 Season: .286/.409/.560 | 12.9 BB%, 22.4 K% | 12 XBH, 6 HR, 5 SB
This Week (MLB): 5/17 | 3 XBH, 0 HR, 2 SB
Age: 23
ETA: Opening Day
fScores: 95 fContact, 86 fDiscipline, 96 fPower, 168 fSpeed
Comp: Jonathan India with more speed
Prime Skills: Shaw has a solid plate approach that should develop as he gets time in the bigs with above average power and speed. For 2025 fantasy, think of Colt Keith production plus 25 steals or so. He could be one of the better second basemen in the majors sooner, rather than later (if he gets to play there rather than at 3B) and has the power and speed combo to put up some 20/20 type seasons. Shaw works to some good launch angles (14.4 average LA) that should help the bat play up.
Player Notes: Shaw came back up this week and didn’t disappoint, seemingly returning to form.
- 1B Nick Kurtz (Athletics)
2024 College: .306/.531/.763 | 34 XBH, 22 HR, 4 SB
2024 A/AA: .368/.520/.763 | 24 BB%, 20 K% | 7 XBH, 4 HR, 1 SB
2025 Season: .231/.291/.440 | 8.7 BB%, 34 K% | 8 XBH, 5 HR, 0 SB
This Week: 5/26 | 4 XBH, 4 HR, 0 SB
Age: 22
ETA: Early 2025
fScores: 106 fContact, 129 fDiscipline, 115 fPower, 86 fSpeed
Comp: Joey Votto-esk profile
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. He was a beast in his limited debut and returned in the Arizona Fall League from a hamstring injury.
Player Notes: This week was the showing of the power we have expected from Kurtz since the call up.
MLB Pitchers:
- SP Zebby Matthews (Twins)
2024 A+/AA/AAA: 97 IP | 28.6 K-BB%, 14.2 SwStr%, 29.9 CSW% | 2.60 ERA, 0.87 WHIP
2024 MLB: 37 2/3 IP | 18.1 K-BB%, 11.3 SwStr%, 26.2 CSW% | 6.69 ERA, 1.65 WHIP
2025 AAA: 32 2/3 IP | 21.5 K-BB%, 11.5 SwStr%, 29.8 CSW% | 1.93 ERA, 1.19 WHIP
This Week: 4 IP | 9 Ks, 1 BBs | 4.50 ERA, 1.50 WHIP
Age: 25
ETA: Opening Day (debuted in 2024)
fScores: 103 fStuff, 122 fControl, 112 fERA
Comp: Zach Eflin outcome with a better fastball
Prime Skills: He’s a big righty at 6’5 225 lbs out of Western Carolina. His curve is his best weapon, though he has a decent heater that plays better up in the zone. The control is his best attribute as the dude has only walked 18 hitters on the entire season.
Player Notes: Zebby is back and had a big strikeout start in only a few innings.
- SP Logan Henderson (Brewers)
2024 CPX/A+/AA/AAA: 81 1/3 IP | 28.1 K-BB%, 15 SwStr%, 31.6 CSW% | 3.32 ERA, 0.91 WHIP
2025 Season: 5 IP | 7 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.80 WHIP
This Week: 6 IP | 4 Ks, 1 BBs | 3.00 ERA, 1.17 WHIP
Age: 23
ETA: Mid 2025
fScores: 105 fStuff, 106 fControl, 110 fERA
Comp: Spencer Strider-light (dude has some quads) and really ramps up
Prime Skills: Henderson is of slight build (5′ 11″) and has jumped up a couple levels already this season after destroying at low A most of last season. He has excellent command and a nice fastball / changeup combo. The fastball runs 94-96 MPH and the change up is one of the better change ups in the minors.
Player Notes: Henderson has another start on Sunday that is not included in these numbers.
AAA Hitters:
- 1B Jac Caglianone (Royals)
2024 College: .419/.544/.875 | 43 XBH, 35 HR, 4 SB
2024 A+: .241/.302/.388 | 5.6 BB%, 20.6 K% | 12 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB (29 games)
2025 Season: .321/.389/.565 | 10.4 BB%, 20.7 K% | 19 XBH, 11 HR, 2 SB
This Week: 5/21 | 2 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB (plus another homer Saturday night that wasn’t counted because I started writing late Saturday)
Age: 22
fScores: N/A
Comp: Matt Olson
Prime Skills: Massive power potential, so much so that he only hit 8 doubles in college. Cags could get some reps pitching, but it’s highly doubtful unless they try him as a RP / 1B perhaps. He showed off some nice power in the Arizona Fall League (5 bombs with 4 doubles and 21 RBI), but there are some obvious holes in the swing right now he needs to correct. It should be noted Caglione actually had superior plates skills to Condon in college.
Player Notes: Cags keeps dominating and will probably be in the majors pretty soon.
- C Kyle Teel (White Sox)
2024 AA: .288/.386/.433 | 13.5 BB%, 23 K% | 36 XBH, 13 HR, 12 SB
2025 Season: .296/.389/.493 | 13.1 BB%, 24.6 K% | 15 XBH, 7 HR, 4 SB
This Week: 8/15 | 4 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
Age: 23
ETA: Mid 2025
fScores: 97 fContact, 124 fDiscipline, 69 fPower, 96 fSpeed
Comp: Shades of Buster Posey with less power
Prime Skills: He’s an athletic catcher with an above average hit tool. He gets some comps to J.T. Realmuto, but I think he is more of a high average hitter who will get on base than the primarily power / speed threat of Realmuto. He gets to decent enough EVs to raise his power profile as he ages.
Player Notes: Teel has been great this season in the win-win trade the White Sox and Red Sox made this offseason.
SS Ryan Ritter (Rockies):
Season: .273/.397/.527 | 14.9 BB% / 21.3 K% | 22 XBH, 9 HR, 3 SB
This Week: 11/23 | 7 XBH, 1 HR, 0 SB
Notes: Ritter has made this list two weeks in a row and literally had a double every single game of the week.
C Daniel Susac (Athletics):
Season: .296/.379/.548 | 9.8 BB% / 22 K% | 15 XBH, 7 HR, 2 SB
This Week: 6/16 | 4 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
Notes: Susac is another C/corner guy ready for the Athletics to call up as they have an underrated system.
AAA Pitchers:
- SP Andrew Painter (Phillies)
2022 A/A+/AA: 103 2/3 IP | 32.4 K-BB%, 16.2 SwStr%, 32.3 CSW% | 1.56 ERA, 0.89 WHIP
2025 Season: 23 1/3 IP | 20.8 K-BB%, 13.9 SwStr%, 29.2 CSW% | 3.09 ERA, 1.11 WHIP
This Week: 4 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BBs | 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
Age: 21
ETA: June 2025
fScores: 107 fStuff, 111 fControl, 144 fERA
Comp: A bigger Jacob deGrom, or a Tyler Glasnow with more control
Prime Skills: Painter regularly touches 99 MPH on his fastball and throws it up in the zone with some ridiculous ride, then loves to use his curve up in the zone to finish guys off when they are dead red fastball. He has pin-point control for a pitcher his age, which plays his stuff up even more. He has an excellent pitch mix and knows how to throw his changeup and breaking stuff off his money fastball.
Player Notes: Painter has been good this season, this was probably his best start of the season, but it’s still been a bit underwhelming compared to his production before the TJ.
SP Andrew Morris (Twins)
2025 Season: 36 2/3 IP | 13.9 K-BB%, 11.7 SwStr%, 24.7 CSW% | 2.37 ERA, 1.06 WHIP
This Week: 5 IP | 8 Ks, 1 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
Notes: Morris has not been as good this year as last, but this start might get him on the right track.
AA Hitters:
- SS JJ Wetherholt (Cardinals)
2024 College: .331/.472/.589 | 16 XBH, 8 HR, 6 SB (36 games)
2024 A: .295/.405/.400 | 12.7 BB%, 11.9 K% | 7 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB (29 games)
2025 Season: .292/.393/.451 | 12.6 BB%, 11.9 K% | 12 XBH, 3 HR, 6 SB
This Week: 5/19 (5 BBs) | 4 XBH, 1 HR, 3 SB
Age: 22
ETA: Early 2026
fScores: 99 fContact, 126 fDiscipline, 79 fPower, 128 fSpeed
Comp: Corbin Carroll / Marcus Semien mash-up
Prime Skills: Wetherholt hits the crap out of the ball for a smaller guy, is athletic and has a great eye at the plate. He has quick, an easy swing and great bat control that will likely lead to an early career high doubles profile that later translates into more power as he gets closer to his peak. Wetherholt had an average EV of 91.8 to go along with an aggressively effective approach in the zone with a 73.4 Z-Swing % and only 14.1% chase rate.
Player Notes: Wetherholt has a ridiculous hit tool and he hits the ball really hard, it’s only a matter of time until more power shows in the numbers.
- 1B Xavier Isaac (Rays)
2024 A+/AA: .264/.370/.480 | 13.3 BB%, 33.3 | 41 XBH, 18 HR, 15 SB
2025 Season: .237/.408/.576 | 19.7 BB%, 28.9 K% | 9 XBH, 5 HR, 1 SB
This Week: 6/20 | 3 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
Age: 21
Comp: Vinnie Pasquantino with speed
ETA: Late 2025 (cup of coffee)
fScores: 93 fContact, 98 fDiscipline, 93 fPower, 103 fSpeed
Prime Skills: Sweet lefty swing and wide open stance with all fields power. Some of his best highlights are him lining high heat out of the park, how he still gets under those and hits them hard enough to get out is a pretty sight to see. A ridiculous number of his homers are no doubters; the kid is big bodied and also maintains his athleticism, but has some strikeout issues and ran some good BABIP luck in 2024.
Player Notes: Isaac is turning into a walk or power guy with a below average hit tool, but had a decent week.
- 2B/3B Sal Stewart (Reds)
2024 A+: .279/.391/.454 | 14.8 BB%, 16.9 K% | 32 XBH, 8 HR, 10 SB (80 games)
2025 Season: .331/.390/.476 | 5.5 BB%, 14.8 K% | 18 XBH, 3 HR, 10 SB
This Week: 10/25 | 5 XBH, 1 HR, 0 SB
Age: 21
ETA: Mid 2026
fScores: N/A
Comp: Athletic Juan Yepez who can put up Josh Nalor-esk numbers
Prime Skills: Big dude who should develop more power, but for now has a fantastic plate approach and hit tool for his age. This is a guy I got a live look on and I think he’s going to be a dude. He might end up moving off the position, because he’s a big boy. He has a good hit tool, great plate skills and 20-25 home run power potential.
Player Notes: Stewart has a great hit tool and is running a high doubles game, if they can start translating into homers – then we are talking.
C Leonardo Bernal (Cardinals):
Season: .266/.372/.468 | 14.7 BB% / 16.3 K% | 12 XBH, 5 HR, 4 SB
This Week: 10/20 | 4 XBH, 2 HR, 2 SB
Notes: Bernal had a nice week as the Cardinals catchers continue to just be ridiculous all around.
AA Pitchers:
- SP Chase Burns (Reds)
2024 College: 100 IP | 191 Ks, 30 BBs | 2.70 ERA, 0.92 WHIP
2025 Season: 35 2/3 IP | 35.3 K-BB%, 18.2 SwStr%, 37.6 CSW% | 2.27 ERA, 0.87 WHIP
This Week: 5 IP | 7 Ks, 1 BBs | 1.80 ERA, 0.60 WHIP
Age: 21
ETA: Late 2025
fScores: 113 fStuff, 98 fControl, 101 fERA
Comp: Hunter Greene / Dylan Cease mash up
Prime Skills: Insane fastball / slider combo that could be one of the best in baseball. He’s bigger than some of the other guys with this type of fastball / slider combo like Jones and Strider and could also just be a better version of Jared Jones.
Player Notes: Burns has been absolutely ridiculous all season and is pegged to be a top 10 prospect in my next update.
- SP Robby Snelling (Marlins)
2024 AA/AAA: 115 1/3 IP | 13.8 K-BB%, 12.2 SwStr% | 5.15 ERA, 1.52 WHIP
2025 Season: 38 IP | 20.7 K-BB%, 14.3 SwStr%, 31% CSW | 4.03 ERA, 1.34 WHIP
This Week: 6 IP | 8 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.33 WHIP
Age: 21
ETA: Early 2025
fScores: 93 fStuff, 96 fControl, fERA 104
Comp: Jesus Luzardo-light
Prime Skills: The 3/4 arm-slot helps create a lot of deception between his fastball and slider, which also gets classified as a curveball – so we will call it a slurve. He’s a three pitch guy with an above average fastball, a good changeup and a stellar breaking pitch with a knack for avoiding hard contact.
Player Notes: Snelling has had a couple bumps of late, but this start shows that he is much improved this year and can get himself back on track.
SP Yordanny Monegro (Red Sox)
2025 Season: 26 2/3 IP | 37.4 K-BB%, 17 SwStr%, 34 CSW% | 2.05 ERA, 1.14 WHIP
This Week: 5 IP | 10 Ks, 1 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.80 WHIP
Notes: Monegro was good last year and has been great this year. He has already made this list three times this season and this start was another killer.
SP Landon Harper (Braves)
2025 Season: 33 IP | 24.6 K-BB%, 14.5 SwStr%, 29.9 CSW% | 1.91 ERA, 0.76 WHIP
This Week: 5 IP | 8 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.40 WHIP
Notes: Harper has been good this year bouncing around from starter to long relief, but after this start might stick in the rotation.
SP Cam Schlittler (Yankees)
2025 Season: N/A
This Week: 6 IP | 8 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 1.33 WHIP
Notes: Schlittler has been bouncing weekly from good start to bad start and this was on the good start rhythm.
SP Gage Jump (Athletics)
2025 Season: 43 IP | 30.5 K-BB%, 15.8 SwStr%, 33.4 CSW% | 1.67 ERA, 0.88 WHIP
This Week: 6 IP | 8 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
Notes: Jump has been phenomenal all season, he might be the record holder for appearances on this list outside of my pre-season Top 150.
A+ Hitters:
- OF Lazaro Montes (Mariners)
2024 A/A+: .288/.397/.484 | 14.4 BB%, 23.6 K% | 44 XBH, 21 HR, 5 SB
2025 Season: .274/.388/.567 | 15.3 BB%, 25.9 K% | 22 XBH, 10 HR, 2 SB
This Week: 8/24 | 4 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
Age: 21
ETA: Late 2026
fScores: N/A
Comp: Shades of a lefty Paul Goldschmidt in the OF
Prime Skills: Big strong kid with a great hit tool, Montes has some insane lefty power and good plate skills. He’s also really improved his body from 2023 to 2024, which has likely helped him cut down the K rate, while also shrinking the gap between BABIP and his batting average. I can’t wait to get some additional statcast numbers on him.
Player Notes: Montes has been showing a good deal of power thus far and is likely ready for AA.
- SS Franklin Arias (Red Sox)
2024 Cpx/A: .309/.409/.487 | 13.4 BB%, 17.5 K% | 36 XBH, 9 HR, 35 SB (87 games)
2025 Season: .350/.404/.454 | 7.3 BB%, 11.2 K% | 12 XBH, 2 HR, 7 SB
This Week: 11/21 | 2 XBH, 0 HR, 2 SB
Age: 19
ETA: 2027
fScores: N/A
Comp: Righty Lindor light
Prime Skills: Good plate skills with above average power, really quick bat speed and hands and great speed. He could be a five tool guy as long as he can continue to develop the hit tool and hit the ball in the air like he did at complex this year. The power tracked down at A ball, but he was young for the level late in the season and held his own.
Player Notes: Arias is a hit monster. Leo De Vries is eating up all the glory, but Arias isn’t far behind (though a completely different type of player) and is only one year older.
- SS Arjun Nimmala (Blue Jays)
2024 CPX/A: .232/.325/.482 | 10 BB%, 30.7 K% | 44 XBH, 17 HR, 9 SB
2025 Season: .285/.358/.544 | 9.5 BB%, 19 K% | 22 XBH, 9 HR, 2 SB
This Week: 9/28 | 5 XBH, 2 HR, 1 SB
Age: 19
ETA: 2027
fScores: N/A
Comp: Righty J.P. Crawford
Prime Skills: He should stick at SS long-term as a solid defensive player with a good all fields hit tool that currently projects as better gap power than homerun power. He’s young with a solid frame and brings a lot more power than you might expect for his age.
Player Notes: Nimmala will be shooting up my next rankings update – hopefully next week.
- OF Caron Benge (Mets)
2024 College: .335/.444/.665 | 44 XBH, 18 HR, 10 SB
2024 A: .273/.420/.436 | 15.9 BB%, 20.3 K% | 5 XBH, 2 HR, 3 SB
2025 Season: .312/.435/.536 | 17.1 BB%, 18.2 K% | 19 XBH, 4 HR, 7 SB
This Week: 7/18 | 7 XBH, 1 HR, 1 SB
Age: 22
ETA: Late 2026
fScores: N/A
Comp: Colton Cowser, but a bit more open of a stance
Prime Skills: Benge is an athletic OF who was a two-way player in college and hits to all fields. He’s raw since he’s transitioning from being a two-way player, but there’s a lot of upside to open up now that he’s only focusing on hitting.
Player Notes: I compared Benge to Evan Carter due to the splits and he’s probably going to be rocketing up people’s rankings as he is becoming a doubles machine.
OF James Tibbs III (Giants):
Season: .237/.382/.453 | 16.8 BB%, 15 K% | 15 XBH, 7 HR, 2 SB
This Week: 6/19 | 5 XBH, 3 HR, 0 SB
Notes: The Giants first rounder last year is having hit tool troubles, but the eye and power are legit.
SS Jesus Baez (Mets):
Season: .266/.352/.403 | 10.7 BB% / 17 K% | 9 XBH, 5 HR, 6 SB
This Week: 9/16 | 3 XBH, 2 HR, 0 SB
Notes: I had a live look at Baez last year and came away pretty impressed. He doesn’t appear to be a super star, but could be a very nice starting MI at some point.
2B Keiner Delgado (Pirates):
Season: .268/.368/.490 | 10.3 BB% / 26.4 K% | 17 XBH, 8 HR, 11 SB
This Week: 8/22 | 5 XBH, 5 HR, 2 SB
Notes: Big week for my boy Keiner Delgado, who is super volatile, but I think he will make it to the bigs, because he is very toolsy.
SS Kaelen Culpepper (Twins):
Season: .323/.425/.516 | 12.3 BB% / 17.1 K% | 13 XBH, 5 HR, 11 SB
This Week: 5/18 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 4 SB
Notes: Culpepper makes the list twice in a row after a nice week on the bases.
A+ Pitchers:
SP David Davalillo (Rangers)
2025 Season: 39 1/3 IP | 32.2 K-BB%, 14.5 SwStr%, 32.6 CSW% | 0.92 ERA, 0.71 WHIP
This Week: 6 IP | 10 Ks, 1 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.67 WHIP
Notes: Davalillo led the minors in ERA last season and is pacing to be a competitor again this season.
SP Payton Tolle (Red Sox)
2025 Season: 28 1/3 IP | 35 K-BB%, 18.1 SwStr%, 39.4 CSW% | 4.13 ERA, 1.20 WHIP
This Week: 4 2/3 IP | 9 Ks, 0 BBs | 1.93 ERA, 0.86 WHIP
Notes: Tolle has given up some damage, but has been great despite some homer issues earlier in the season.
SP Patrick Copen (Dodgers)
2025 Season: 39 1/3 IP | 23.6 K-BB%, 16.3 SwStr%, 31 CSW% | 2.29 ERA, 1.07 WHIP
This Week: 6 2/3 IP | 11 Ks, 1 BBs | 1.35 ERA, 0.45 WHIP
Notes: Copen is a big dude with some control problems, but had a great outing this week and does have some interesting stuff.
A Hitters:
- OF Eduardo Quintero (Dodgers)
2024 CPX/A: .285/.419/.394 | 17.1 BB%, 19.4 K% | 19 XBH, 3 HR, 32 SB (83 games)
2025 Season: .305/.408/.563 | 13.9 BB%, 25.6 K% | 20 XBH, 8 HR, 20 SB
This Week: 5/23 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 4 SB
Age: 19
ETA: Late 2026
fScore: N/A
Comp: Shades of Wander Franco as an OF with less power and more speed
Prime Skills: Fantastic plate skills and a heck of an athlete. Quintero has a killer hit tool with a knack for barreling the ball and brings a ton of athleticism to the plate.
Player Notes: Two weeks in a row for Quintero on the list, but this time he makes it for the speed.
- OF Theo Gillen (Rays)
2024 CPX: .154/.353/.192 | 23.5 BB%, 41.2 K% | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 1 SB (8 games)
2025 Season: .292/.453/.508 | 20.5 BB%, 25 K% | 7 XBH, 3 HR, 11 SB
This Week: 8/13 | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 3 SB
Age: 19
ETA: 2028
fScores: N/A
Comp: Smaller Parker Meadows
Prime Skills: Gillen has great timing at the plate, nice load and really gets on pitches with a sweet and powerful lefty swing. He has a nice sized athletic build and should develop into a power / speed threat. He played SS in highschool, but with a weak arm has moved off to the OF.
Player Notes: Gillen has made the list a couple times as a classic Rays super toolsy OF who needs to develop a hit tool.
SS Caleb Bonemer (White Sox):
Season: .289/.422/.481 | 16.8 BB% / 21.4 K% | 17 XBH, 3 HR, 13 SB
This Week: 8/19 | 5 XBH, 0 HR, 0 SB
Notes: Bonemer will be a big mover in my next rankings update.
A Pitchers:
- SP Travis Sykora (Nationals)
2024 A: N/A
This Week: 3 IP | 5 Ks, 0 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.00 WHIP
Age: 21
ETA: Late 2026
fScores: N/A
Comp: Logan Gilbert
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.
Player Notes: Sykora pitched a perfect three innings as we wait for him to build up and geet to the next level.
SP Ryan Sloan (Mariners)
2025 Season: 24 1/3 IP | 22.5 K-BB%, 13.4 SwStr%, 28.6 CSW% | 3.33 ERA, 1.23 WHIP
This Week: 4 IP | 7 Ks, 0 BBs | 2.25 ERA, 1.00 WHIP
Notes: Sloan is still not built-up, but he’s been great in his short stints this year.
SP Griffin Herring (Yankees)
2025 Season: 44 2/3 IP | 24.1 K-BB%, 16.7 SwStr%, 33.1 CSW% | 1.21 ERA, 0.90 WHIP
This Week: 6 IP | 10 Ks, 2 BBs | 0.00 ERA, 0.33 WHIP
Notes: This is Herring’s second or third time on the list and he deserves to be called up to high A.

fScores: N/A
Comp: Fernando Tatis Jr. light
Prime Skills: Big, athletic shortstop with a solid hit tool along with high end power potential and decent speed. Another big SS with the mimic Fernando Tatis Jr. swing, he’s making it work and has a similar batted ball profile (though beware of the 27% swinging strike rate), the less than 30% GB rate is great for power potential.
Player Notes: I am a big Morales fan, especially because I think he’s a bit underrated.
SS Tyson Lewis (Reds):
Season: .440/.517/.720 | 10.3 BB% / 10.3 K% | 3 XBH, 1 HR, 7 SB
This Week: 6/15 | 1 XBH, 0 HR, 6 SB
Notes: Lewis is an athletic freak that we have heard a lot about from everyone out in Arizona, especially after some monster EVs he has put up.
