RoboScout’s Prime Fantasy Prospects At Each Stage On Sunday, June 7

Dominican Summer season League

Longtime RoboScout readers know that it hardly ever covers DSL pitching as a result of the monitor file of these arms is spotty at finest. Even probably the most extremely regarded prospects want years to percolate and aren’t one of the best allocation of prospect capital. Wait till they arrive stateside. Nonetheless, for these curious—or in deep leagues—there have been some nice performances on this first week.

Phillies righthander Yilmar Samudio sat 95 mph with seven ft of extension and, as anticipated, racked up a 66.7% strikeout fee over his three-inning debut. A 2025 sleeper, Brewers 17-year-old lefthander Santiago Martinez tossed 5 scoreless innings in his 2026 debut. We’ll periodically test in to see if any DSL pitcher separates from the gang because the season progresses.

On the hitting aspect, small pattern dimension caveats are the most important concern. Nonetheless, a pair gamers had large debuts over the primary week. Be aware that it’s too early to have Statcast information but, so the beneath is from the uncooked manufacturing.

Cardinals heart fielder Emanuel Luna already has three house runs. Luna signed for $2.3 million, so he has pedigree, and needs to be arguably probably the most sought-after DSL goal this week. 

Taking a web page from the Rainel Rodriguez playbook, Purple Sox catcher Edgardo Gutierrez is hoping his bat is robust sufficient to transcend the truth that he’s a teenage catcher, which usually requires an extended simmering time within the minor leagues. You recognize RoboScout likes a 16-year-old with two homers by means of 13 plate appearances. Let’s keep watch over him.

Braves shortstop Jose Manon was a $1.5 million signing as a great defender with plus pace. With a house run already in his first 17 plate appearances, a 4:1 walk-to-strikeout ratio and a 222 wRC+, he needs to be an early goal, too.

One other 17-year-old with pedigree and a wRC+ over 200 is Phillies outfielder Francisco Renteria, who signed the second-highest bonus ($4 million) in 2026. 

Brewers infielder Leander Matos is a lesser-known prospect, however he’d would’ve ranked No. 1 in RoboScout’s DSL record. That’s as a result of the 16-year-old homered and stole 5 bases over 17 plate appearances. He’s undoubtedly price a flier in deep leagues.

His exit velocities aren’t within the Justin Gonzales or Brooks Brannon tier of Purple Sox “catchers,” however Primera has glorious launch angles. RoboScout sees 20-homer potential and a league-average bat. 

Regardless of a sub-100 wRC+ and a contact fee beneath 60%, White Sox shortstop Yordani Soto finds himself on the record. That’s as a result of his 107 mph ninetieth percentile exit velocity is the best mark for any 17-year-old hitter, whereas his 108 mph max exit velocity is second behind solely Giants phenom Luis Hernandez. He might want to button up his bat-to-ball, however the thump can’t be ignored.

Reds lefthander Iker Redona finds himself within the prime 5 due to a 30% strikeout fee, a minuscule 2.1% stroll fee and a 54% groundball fee. As an 18-year-old, the Canadian has a great peak projection, which is supported by his potential to work deeper into video games than the standard Complicated League pitcher. 

Underneath the hood, a lot of his success appears tied to a top quality changeup that performs properly off his 90 mph four-seam fastball. Redona additionally throws an 81 mph slider and 76 mph curveball. He might want to add some energy to be able to succeed on the higher ranges, however his pitchability is carving up Complicated League hitters. 

Marlins righthander Juan Cazarez rounds out the highest 10 and has a starter’s combine. The 20-year-old Mexican incorporates a 93 mph four-seam fastball, an 87 mph slider, a 77 mph curveball with above-average spin and sharp two-plane motion, and a changeup with greater than 18 inches of armside fade. Whereas undersized, RoboScout sees a back-of-the-rotation arm. 

There are a pair of Blue Jays arms simply off the record whose Stuff+ grades exceed the pitchers above them. 

Carson Messina, a 2024 Twelfth-rounder, missed most of 2025 however has returned with a vengeance. The 20-year-old sits 95 mph and has touched 98 mph with a driving four-seam fastball that has 19 inches of IVB. He enhances it with a tough 81 mph downer curveball and an 87 mph slider. Our inside mannequin has Messina with a 111 Stuff+ grade and he has generated a 59% groundball fee by means of 16 innings. If he can harness his 12% stroll fee, Messina might actualize right into a starter. 

Righthander Angel Rivero additionally has compelling stuff. He operates with a 93 mph fastball that has touched 97, an 83 mph sweeper with 13 inches of horizontal break and a curveball with above-average spin and high quality two-plane motion. Like Messina, nonetheless, Rivero should enhance his command after posting a double-digit stroll fee.

After 131 plate appearances, perennial RoboDarling Guardians outfielder Juneiker Caceres has surpassed a few of the different buzzy Low-A names. It doesn’t damage that the 18-year-old had a .500/.500/1.214 triple slash with three house runs final week. However Caceres has additionally improved his contact charges, decreased his chase fee and improved his barrel fee, with RoboScout seeing a .280/.355 peak projection with 20-25 house runs and 10 steals.

Congratulations to Braves shortstop Tate Southisene, RoboScout’s No. 2 Low-A hitter, on his promotion to Excessive-A Rome. We’ve waxed profusely about his 20-homer, 30-steal upside, and we stay up for seeing the 19-year-old within the powerhouse Emperors lineup.

Twins outfielder Luis Fragoza is an fascinating title. He has run fairly sizzling since his Could 20 promotion to Low-A Fort Myers, compiling a 172 wRC+ with 4 homers over 58 plate appearances, tying him simply off the record with Rangers heart fielder Hector Osorio, whom we highlighted a couple of weeks in the past.

Fragoza’s underlying Statcast information additionally exhibits year-over-year enchancment. The 19-year-old Venezuelan has elevated his ninetieth percentile exit velocity from 98.6 mph to a feverish 103.8 mph. He doesn’t make the best swing selections, with a z-swing-minus-o-swing fee about an ordinary deviation beneath common, however along with his plus in-zone contact and exit velocities, it won’t matter all that a lot.

One other hitter off to a powerful begin following a promotion is Marlins shortstop Luis Arana, who has already homered and stolen two bases in his first 22 plate appearances at Low-A Jupiter. Arana’s contact abilities are distinctive for his age, however he’ll profit from lifting the ball extra persistently. He’s presently operating a median launch angle beneath zero levels, which helps clarify his 82% groundball fee within the Florida State League.

Given his elite bat-to-ball potential and already respectable exit velocities, the substances are in place for Arana to become a possible 20-homer, 20-steal menace if he could make the mandatory changes to his batted-ball profile.

Cubs righthander Kaleb Wing climbs into the highest three after a six-strikeout efficiency with just one stroll in 3.1 innings. The 2025 overslot 19-year-old exhibits a 4 pitch combine, together with a 93 mph four-seam fastball, a 79 mph changeup with over 15 inches of armside fade, an 85 mph gyro slider and a crazy 76 mph curveball with over 23 inches of downward spike. RoboScout sees a back-of-the-rotation starter with midrotation potential.

Astros righthander Juan Fraide debuts at No. 10 after his promotion earlier this week to Low-A Fayetteville.

It’s been a quiet stretch on the prime of the Excessive-A rankings, with the notable exception of Braves outfielder Eric Hartman, who homered twice final week. In consequence, Cardinals catcher Rainiel Rodriguez—who has been in Double-A for weeks—climbed from fifth to second because the three hitters beforehand forward of him slid backward.

Cubs outfielder Josiah Hartshorn hit two extra homers final week, giving him 4 in 53 Excessive-A plate appearances. Hartshorn already possessed plus contact abilities and glorious swing selections, a mix that will make him a stable prospect even with common energy. As a substitute, the 19-year-old pairs these traits with an above-average 104.5 mph ninetieth percentile exit velocity and a max exit velocity of 111 mph.RoboScout sees a 25-homer, 100+ wRC+ and an on-base machine within the majors. 

We’ve mentioned Brewers infielder Eric Bitonti ceaselessly over the previous two years, largely due to his distinctive uncooked energy. The 20-year-old has taken one other step ahead in 2026, rising his max exit velocity by greater than 4 mph and boosting his ninetieth percentile exit velocity to a ridiculous 110 mph.

Regardless of below-average bat-to-ball abilities, Bitonti’s elite high quality of contact ought to permit him to settle in as a roughly league-average main league hitter with 20-25 house run energy. He handles velocity properly—significantly fastballs above 94 mph—however, as anticipated, stays susceptible to lefthanded pitching and high quality spin. Even so, it’s troublesome to search out many 20-year-olds producing this stage of impression. At present ranked fifteenth amongst Excessive-A hitters, Bitonti might simply discover himself contained in the Prime 250 prospects by 12 months’s finish.

We highlighted Angels catcher Juan Flores final season, and the 20-year-old continues to carry out in Excessive-A Tri-Metropolis. During the last six weeks, Flores has produced a 162 wRC+ with six house runs. The underlying information helps the breakout. His 106 mph ninetieth percentile exit velocity factors to legit 25-home run potential and is sort of equivalent to Hartman’s mark.

The similarities don’t finish there:

Identify	Cont%	IZ Cont%	90EV	Chase%	Barrel%
Eric Hartman, ATL	72%	82%	106 mph	28%	21%
Juan Flores, LAA	71%	83%	106 mph	33%	19%

After all, Hartman brings the pace and athleticism element,  and his 113 mph max exit velocity far surpasses Flores’ 109 mph. Nonetheless, the broader level stands. Flores is a 20-year-old catcher producing better-than-average Statcast information whereas dealing with competitors that’s, on common, roughly three years older. That’s a compelling profile.

As talked about above, Nationals fireballer Miguel Sime Jr. is now in Excessive-A Wilmington. Regardless of posting only a 5.3% strikeout-minus-walk fee in his 3.2-inning debut, he nonetheless ranks fifth on the Excessive-An inventory when his dominant Low-A efficiency is included. That gives a helpful illustration of how RoboScout interprets efficiency between the decrease ranges.

RoboScout tasks the 19-year-old Sime at peak for a 1.26 WHIP, a sub-4.00 ERA and roughly a 26% strikeout fee. The principle query stays his management, because the mannequin expects stroll charges that would fluctuate between the high-single digits and low-double digits.

Rockies righthander Jackson Cox has hovered across the Excessive-A rankings all season, although Rockies pitchers are understandably troublesome sells in fantasy leagues. Over his final two begins, nonetheless, the 22-year-old has struck out 20 batters and walked simply two throughout 11 innings.

Getting back from elbow surgical procedure, Cox is sitting 95 mph with a deep and intriguing arsenal. His 80 mph sweeper options greater than 17 inches of horizontal break, whereas his 89 mph cutter-slider hybrid generates chase and whiff charges north of 40% and grades as better-than-plus on RoboScout’s inside Stuff mannequin. He additionally mixes in an 88 mph changeup with greater than 17 inches of armside fade.

A few of that east-west motion will inevitably be muted by Coors Subject, however the arsenal itself is very compelling. RoboScout clearly agrees, rating Cox sixth amongst Excessive-A pitchers and inserting him in basically the identical tier as favorites similar to Dodgers righthander Christian Zazueta and Guardians righthander Braylon Doughty.
