RoboScout’s Top Fantasy Prospects At Every Level On June 22, 2025

0

It’s officially summer and it definitely feels like it in most of the country. RoboScout, meanwhile, is melting its microprocessors to calculate which prospects are even hotter.

Let’s see who is burning up the charts this week.

Dominican Summer League Hitting

When we mentioned Marlins shortstop Luis Arana last week, he had zero strikeouts and two homers. After 20 more plate appearances, Arana finally struck out, but he also added three more steals. The 17-year-old is RoboScout’s top DSL prospect early on.

Guardians shortstop Jose Riera ranks second. Despite his 5-foot-8 stature, the 17-year-old already has three homers and a 202 wRC+ through 45 plate appearances. Cleveland signed him out of Venezuela for $400,000 on the strength of his bat-to-ball skills and it seems he has added some sneaky pop. With a solid hit tool and bat strength that belies his smaller frame, Riera seems to be picking up where Juneiker Caceres left off last year.

Braves outfielder Diego Tornes is tied for third in the early rankings, mostly because of his age (16). The 6-foot-2 Cuban signed for nearly $2.5 million and has a 136 wRC+ with nearly as many walks as strikeouts over 56 plate appearances. He hasn’t homered yet, but Tornes has 10 stolen bases and a solid .167 ISO.

Nationals outfielder Nauris De La Cruz signed out of the Dominican Republic for $500,000 as a  power-over-hit profile. In 29 plate appearances, he has a home run with five steals as a 17-year-old. His 10% strikeout rate is even more encouraging. If he can keep the bat-to-ball skills, his stock will rise.

Complex League Hitting

The top hitting performances for the Complex Leagues per RoboScout are:

Giants shortstop Jhonny Level shined in the DSL last year after signing for just under $1 million out of Venezuela. The 5-foot-10 switch-hitter had bulked up since signing and showed some of the best power in the DSL with a max exit velocity of 108 mph. This year, he has carried that power over to a new, er, level, as he already has a max exit velocity of 112 mph and six homers in the last 30 days. Both figures lead the complex leagues. Level has chipped in four steals and kept his strikeout rate under 15%, becoming a top-five hitter at the Complex in the process.

Last year, Guardians outfielder Yeiferth Castillo demonstrated his bat-to-ball skills by posting the fifth-lowest strikeout rate (7.8%) among qualified hitters. Power, however, was a question mark. Over his last 60 plate appearances, Castillo has four home runs and the fifth-highest ISO (.257) at the Complex over the last 30 days. If he’s found a new level of strength, the 18-year-old will rise in rankings, and I don’t just mean by entering the RoboScout Complex Top 20.

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Blue Jays lefty Johnny King continues to widen the gap between him and the rest of the Complex League arms. Although it’s primarily a two-pitch arsenal right now, his 95 mph fastball with huge armside run from a low slot and his low-80s curveball with two-plane break are proving far too much for short-season hitters. He should be in Low-A Dunedin before long.

After six more strikeouts over two innings yesterday, Pirates lefthander Reinold Navarro is tied for second in the rankings. The walk rate is unsightly, but at the lower levels and at younger ages, the more important metric is the strikeout rate. That being said, however, Navarro will need harness his command and control to avoid being destined for the bullpen.

Low-A Hitting

With another home run and four stolen bases, Rays outfielder Theo Gillen jumps back into the Low-A top five. Along with Eduardo Quintero, Luis Peña, Konnor Griffin and Braylon Payne, Gillen has a 20-homer, 20-steal projection.

RoboScout also gives Marlins outfielder Andres Valor a 20-20 projection. Valor starred for Miami’s DSL squad in 2023 and was earmarked as a breakout pick each of the last two offseasons because of his combination of athleticism, center field defense, speed and power. Over the last 30 days for Low-A Jupiter, the 19-year-old has four home runs, 10 stolen bases and a 152 wRC+ over 91 plate appearances. His 27.5% strikeout rate is higher than we’d want, but his blend of power and speed is exciting for fantasy managers.

White Sox outfielder George Wolkow has always had massive power. He was one of only 18 minor league hitters with a minimum of 100 plate appearances to produce a 109 mph 90th percentile exit velocity in 2024. Swing-and-miss has come hand-in-hand with Wolkow’s thump, though, and he struck out 40% of the time in his first full pro season.

So far in 2025 with Low-A Kannapolis, Wolkow has managed a 27% strikeout rate and an even more impressive 22% clip over the last 30 days. All the while, he’s also smashed four home runs with a 139 wRC+ over 77 plate appearances during that time. RoboScout has always seen him as a 30-to-35-homer bat. If he can keep the whiff rate in check, his big league batting average projects to around .250, which is far more palatable.

Padres lefthander Kash Mayfield continues to ascend the Low-A rankings, rising four more spots on the heels of an eight-strikeout performance over three innings where he walked just one batter. Interestingly, RoboScout has a (slightly) better peak fantasy projection for Mayfield than it does for Red Sox lefthander and Top 100 prospect Payton Tolle.

Mets lefthander Daviel Hurtado debuts in the rankings after one Low-A start once we add in his 19 Complex League innings, where he had a 29% strikeout-minus-walk rate and 65% groundball rate. The 20-year-old Cuban has a mid-90s four-seam fastball and a sharp curveball with two-plane break, along with a low-to-mid-80s slider with gyro shape. RoboScout loves the Mets pitching development apparatus and is definitely intrigued by Hurtado’s potential as a lefthanded starter.

Pirates corner outfielder Esmerlyn Valdez flies up the rankings this week after hitting four home runs to raise his wRC+ to 180. Over the last three years, the slugger has increased both his 90th percentile exit velocity and max exit velocity, hitting a ball at 114 mph in the first month of the season after never exceeding 112 mph prior to this season. His 23.5% strikeout rate is also manageable. While he’s older, Valdez has struck out less than Lazaro Montes and Zyhir Hope in 2025 and leads High-A with 19 home runs. RoboScout projects him as a 25-to-30-homer hitter with an above-average wRC+ even though he’s already 21 years old.

Twins shortstop/third baseman/center fielder Brandon Winokur hit a pair of home runs this past week, bringing his 30-day total to seven to go along with seven steals during that time. Winokur still has a lot of swing and miss in his game, though for the past month his strikeout rate is just under 25%, which is lower than fellow High-A 20-year-old Lazaro Montes, who has also hit seven home runs in the past 30 days.

The most homers over the last 30 days, though, belongs to Mariners third baseman Luis Suisbel, who has hit 11 long balls. While RoboScout projects the 22-year-old to become a 20-to-25-homer bat at peak in the majors, keep in mind he’s older than other hitters for his level and projects for below-average wRC+ and batting average.

Baseball America’s Geoff Pontes wrote up Blue Jays righty Gage Stanifer here. This part stuck out:

“He’s sitting mid 90s on a four-seam fastball that generates up to 20 inches of induced vertical break regularly. His go-to secondary is a mid-80s breaking ball he calls a slider with slurvy shape and good depth for its velocity. He’ll also show a changeup, but it’s used less often than his slider by a wide margin.”

RoboScout doesn’t have much more to add, except the following: “Bleep, bloop. Stanifer looks like a midrotation starter who might reach the majors in the second half of 2026.”

Red Sox lefthander Eduardo Rivera is the biggest High-A riser this week. His 39.5% strikeout rate is actually higher than fellow 22-year-olds Gage Jump and Carlos LaGrange before they were promoted to Double-A. At 6-foot-7, Rivera is giant with a mid-90s four-seamer that he throws with above-average extensions from a high release point, along with a cutterish slider that sits mid-to-upper 80s. He also has a splitter and sweeper and has generated an extremely high 59% groundball rate.

Rivera’s profile may imply reliever, but RoboScout sees the ingredients for a midrotation starter, which would be an incredible outcome considering the A’s released him in May 2024 and he signed with the Red Sox as a minor league free agent a month later. RoboScout is intrigued.

Reds outfielder Hector Rodriguez is the big Double-A riser this week after smashing there homers–including two against Angels righty George Klassen–to raise his wRC+ by 27 points to 157. With a peak projection of .280/.350 with a 120 wRC+ and 20-25 home runs, RoboScout sees the 21-year-old corner outfielder as one of the most underrated prospects in fantasy.

After missing 20 days with an undisclosed injury, Red Sox infielder Mikey Romero returned this weekend and wasted no time making an impact, homering in each of his first two games back and vaulting onto the Double-A leaderboards. In 2024, the 21-year-old posted a 90th percentile exit velocity of 102.4 mph and a max of 108.7 mph. He’s already surpassed both this season under the Red Sox bat speed development program, recording at least one batted ball at 111 mph in 2025. Romero remains a clear top 100 fantasy prospect.

A couple of weeks ago, RoboScout flagged Cardinals outfielder Joshua Baez as a player to watch after the 22-year-old made significant improvements to both his contact and chase rates. Since then, Baez has a 189 wRC+ with six home runs and six stolen bases. His six homers—tied with fellow Cardinal Leonardo Bernal—trail only Brewers slugger Brock Wilken, who has hit seven over the past 30 days in Double-A. All three project for 20-plus home run power at peak, but Baez adds another dimension with this season’s speed, projecting for 18–20 stolen bases as well. It looks like Baez has officially broken out.

Rangers lefthander Mitch Bratt is making his push toward the top five, climbing four spots since last week. The 21-year-old has delivered an excellent 2025 campaign, highlighted by a minuscule 3.6% walk rate over 62.2 innings. A fifth-round pick in 2021, Bratt has expanded his arsenal to five serviceable pitches that he can both command and control. Based purely on his sustained 2025 performance, he should crack the next Dynasty 500 update.

Royals righthander Shane Panzini has impressed since his promotion to Double-A Northwest Arkansas. Over four starts, the 23-year-old has averaged four innings per appearance with a 36% strikeout rate and a walk rate under 5%. His over-the-top release and above-average extension allow his starter’s arsenal to play up. Initially projected as a likely reliever when drafted in the fourth round in 2021, Panzini now looks like he may stick in a rotation—and RoboScout believes he could settle in as a midrotation starter.

Red Sox righthander Blake Wehunt has been dominant over his last four outings, averaging more than five innings per start—including a seven-inning, 13-strikeout gem against Double-A Somerset. The 6-foot-7 Kennesaw State product uses his natural extension to add deception to a 94 mph fastball, complemented by a cutter, sweeper, slider and splitter. If he maintains his current trajectory, RoboScout projects Wehunt as a midrotation starter who generates strikeouts while keeping the ball on the ground.

Over the last 30 days, the 23-year-old has a 174 wRC+ with four home runs in just 69 plate appearances. After posting a 90th percentile exit velocity of 102 mph in 2024, Beavers has increased that to 106 mph this season. RoboScout projects a .255/.330 line with 15–18 home runs and 20–25 stolen bases with an above-average wRC+. That profile makes him a clear top 100 fantasy prospect.

Dodgers shortstop Alex Freeland has turned things around after a slow start to the season. Over the last 30 days, the 23-year-old has compiled a 141 wRC+ with six home runs and four stolen bases. His 90th percentile exit velocity remains steady at 105 mph—matching last year’s figure—while his contact rate has jumped from 67% to 75% over the same period. RoboScout now sees Freeland as a league-average bat with 18–22 home runs and 10–15 stolen bases, providing steady shortstop production.

With Adley Rutschman sidelined until after the all-star break and backup Maverick Handley injured in his first game back from Triple-A, Orioles fans—and fantasy managers—are getting louder in their calls for Samuel Basallo’s callup. The 20-year-old has already crushed 15 home runs in Triple-A and owns two batted balls over 115 mph. For context, that mark would rank 16th on the major league leaderboard for max exit velocity and second in hard-hit rate, trailing only checks notes Shohei Ohtani. You can understand why the buzz is growing.

Rays righthander Joe Boyle had another strong week, climbing the rankings after tossing five more innings with eight strikeouts and just one walk. Over his last four outings, the 25-year-old has logged 21 innings with 34 strikeouts and five walks. On the season, Boyle owns a 22.3% strikeout-minus-walk rate with a sub-1.00 WHIP and sub-2.00 ERA. RoboScout projects him as a midrotation starter capable of posting a sub-4.00 ERA at the major league level. If he can sustain the 9% walk rate he’s managed over the last 30 days, Boyle might have SP2 upside.

The only starting pitcher with a higher strikeout rate than Boyle’s 41% over the last month? Athletics righthander Jack Perkins, who we highlighted last week—and who earned the call to the majors this weekend. Congratulations to Perkins.

It’s fitting to end this week’s RoboScout update with another hearty congratulations, this time for Reds righthander Chase Burns, who will make his MLB debut this week against the Yankees. The second overall pick in the 2024 draft has flown through three minor league levels and has been the best pitcher in the minors this season. In redraft leagues where he’s still available, bid aggressively—Burns projects to be the most impactful pitching addition for the remainder of 2025.

Happy bidding!
