MLB Prospects Report For Fantasy Baseball Ahead Of Week 3

From MLB-ready talents making waves to high-upside youngsters climbing the ranks, these top 10 prospects—ranked per MLB Pipeline entering the season—are must-know names for dynasty leagues and redraft players alike. 

Let’s dive into the early performances from fantasy baseball prospects, outlooks, and fantasy impacts as of April 9, 2025.

Roki Sasaki, SP, Los Angeles Dodgers (MLB)

The consensus top prospect entering 2025, Roki Sasaki’s MLB debut with the Dodgers has been a rollercoaster. After a rocky start—nine walks and just five strikeouts over 4.2 innings in his first two outings—the Japanese phenom showed signs of settling in with a four-inning, one-earned-run gem, fanning four.

Pitch count restrictions remain a hurdle, likely capping him at 80-90 pitches per start for now. Sasaki’s elite stuff makes him a high-upside SP3 with SP1 potential, but the early control issues and innings limit temper immediate expectations. Stash him in dynasty leagues; he’s a mid-tier starter in redraft until he stretches out.

Roman Anthony, OF, Boston Red Sox (AAA)

Roman Anthony burst onto the Triple-A scene with two homers in his second game, but he’s cooled off since, managing just two hits in his next five contests. A 34% strikeout rate is concerning, though a robust 25% walk rate and an unlucky .182 BABIP suggest better days ahead.

Anthony’s five-tool profile screams future star, but the whiffs could delay an early-season call-up. He’s a top-tier dynasty stash with 20/20 upside; redraft players should monitor his progress for a midseason boost.

 

 

 

Walker Jenkins, OF, Minnesota Twins (AA)

Walker Jenkins, still just 20, has started slowly at Double-A, going 1-for-8. After a strong 2024 (.282 AVG, .833 OPS over 82 games), his plus-hit and plus-power tools remain tantalizing. 

No one’s blocking his path in Minnesota’s outfield, but he’ll need a breakout to force a 2025 MLB debut. Jenkins is a dynasty darling with 25 HR/15 SB potential long-term. Redraft players can ignore him for now—he’s at least a year away barring a torrid stretch.

Jackson Jobe, SP, Detroit Tigers (MLB)

Jackson Jobe earned a spot in Detroit’s Opening Day rotation and has flashed promise despite command woes—seven walks in nine innings across two starts. A 44% ground-ball rate hints at his ability to limit damage. 

Jobe’s rotation spot is safe, making him an instant fantasy asset. He’s a SP4 with upside in redraft leagues, thanks to his strikeout potential and GB tendencies. Dynasty owners should expect growing pains but a bright future.

Max Clark, OF, Detroit Tigers (High-A)

The No. 3 pick in the 2023 draft, Max Clark is off to a sizzling start in High-A: 5-for-15 with six walks, six strikeouts, four runs, and six RBI. His 60-grade hit, 50-power, and 70-run tools mark him as a future star, though he’s years from Detroit’s big-league roster.

Clark’s early stats scream 20 HR/30 SB potential down the line. He’s a dynasty gem but irrelevant for 2025 redraft leagues.

Kristian Campbell, 2B/OF, Boston Red Sox (MLB)

Kristian Campbell, the 2024 Minor League Player of the Year, has taken the AL by storm. After hitting .330 with a .997 OPS and 20 HR/24 SB across three levels last year, he’s batting .351 with a 1.079 OPS to start his MLB career as Boston’s starting second baseman. 

He’s the odds-on favorite for AL Rookie of the Year. Campbell’s five-category production makes him a top-10 fantasy 2B right now. He’s a must-start in all formats and a dynasty cornerstone.

 

 

 

Andrew Painter, SP, St. Louis Cardinals (High-A)

After missing 2023 and 2024 due to Tommy John surgery, Andrew Painter is back. His 2022 dominance (1.56 ERA, 155 K’s in 103.2 IP) showcased his ace potential, and a healthy return could see him rocket through the minors.

Painter’s a high-risk, high-reward dynasty stash. If he regains form, he’s a 2026 SP2; redraft players can wait until he hits Double-A.

Carson Williams, SS, Tampa Bay Rays (AAA)

Carson Williams’ power bat (60-grade power) is his calling card, but his 45-grade hit tool has shown early cracks—.185 AVG with 12 strikeouts in 27 at-bats.

A likely 2025 Rays debut looms. Williams offers 25+ HR upside with middling average, ideal for dynasty owners needing middle-infield pop. Redraft players should wait for the call-up.

Travis Bazzana, 2B, Cleveland Guardians (AA)

The 2024 No. 1 overall pick, Travis Bazzana, is tearing up Double-A, hitting .438 over four games. With a 70-grade hit tool, stolen-base juice, and emerging power, he could reach Triple-A by May and Cleveland soon after. 

Bazzana’s fast start screams 2025 relevance. He’s a dynasty prize with .300/15 HR/20 SB potential; redraft players should scoop him if he nears the majors.

Jordan Lawlar, SS, Arizona Diamondbacks (AAA)

Jordan Lawlar’s .250 AVG and four steals in 10 AAA games are solid, but Arizona’s choice to keep him down despite Ketel Marte’s injury has raised eyebrows.

His 2023 (20 HR, 36 SB) and 2024 (.318 AVG in 23 games) campaigns highlight his upside. Lawlar’s power-speed combo makes him a dynasty stud. Redraft owners should watch for a promotion—he could be a top-15 SS upon arrival.
