Fantasy Baseball Prospects to Stash: Colt Emerson, Cooper Ingle, Luis Lara
Colt Emerson (SS – SEA) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 7
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: May/Early June
The wait continues. After signing a contract extension with Seattle last month, it felt like Colt Emerson’s promotion was imminent. Instead, we’re still waiting, and he hasn’t exactly kicked the door down.
Emerson is currently hitting .252/.340/.798 with six home runs and nine stolen bases in 131 at-bats. Solid numbers, but not the type that force a team’s hand. It’s important to remember that Emerson is only 20 years old with just over 150 Triple‑A plate appearances.
An injury in Seattle’s infield might be the clearest path to a call-up, unless Emerson goes on a heater and makes the decision easy. For now, we wait.
Cooper Ingle (C – CLE) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: 87
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: Late-May/Early June
Cooper Ingle is a catcher with elite plate discipline and one of the hottest bats in Triple‑A. He’s hitting .351 with a 1.192 OPS, including seven extra‑base hits and a remarkable 23:18 walk-to-strikeout ratio in 21 games.
This is Ingle’s first Triple‑A stint, which likely explains Cleveland’s decision to trade for Patrick Bailey, as they may want Ingle to get more seasoning. But his track record is undeniable: Three straight seasons with more walks than strikeouts and a career on-base percentage (OBP) north of .400.
Even with modest power, a catcher who gets on base like this is a cheat code in deep leagues and two‑catcher formats.
Luis Lara (OF – MIL) | Top 100 Prospect Ranking: Unranked
- Current Level: Triple-A
- ETA: July
Luis Lara is a speed-and-defense center fielder who has taken a major offensive leap in 2026. His Triple‑A line: .315/.414/.523, seven home runs and 12 stolen bases in 38 games.
This is his first year at the Triple-A level, and he hasn’t reached 150 at-bats yet, so Milwaukee will likely be patient. He’ll need to keep hitting for another month and may still need an injury or a slump of a player ahead of him to open a spot.
Lara has 30 stolen bases upside with strong OBP skills. In deep leagues, especially five‑outfielder formats, he’s a worthy speculative stash.
