Not one of the prime six hitters on the checklist hit a house run final week, although Brewers outfielder Alexander Frias and Cardinals shortstop Sebastian Dos Santos are not on the advanced. The seventh-ranked Rockies outfielder Cristian Arguelles, nonetheless, did homer whereas additionally stealing two bases.

The 19-year-old Arguelles reveals plus contact charges, above-average exit velocities with a max of 111 mph, however some passivity, as evidenced by his 39% swing charge. RoboScout sees a league-average main league hitter with 20-plus house run potential who needs to be in Low-A Fresno shortly.

Final yr, RoboScout recognized catcher Miguel Caraballo as one to observe after the Venezuelan posted a 102.5 mph ninetieth percentile exit velocity within the DSL as a 16-year-old. After being traded to the Twins as a part of the Daniel Susac deal, Caraballo has produced 5 house runs, 11 stolen bases and a 130 wRC+ as a 17-year-old.

His contact charges have slipped a bit and now grade out round a forty five on the 20-80 scale, however his swing selections are above common and all the pieces else is solidly common. RoboScout sees a barely below-average hitter with 20-plus house run potential.

Final yr, RoboScout recognized Yankees third baseman Richard Matic as a participant to observe after he posted a ninetieth percentile exit velocity above 103 mph with glorious swing selections however solely common contact charges. This yr, the 18-year-old has raised his contact charges to plus whereas sustaining his plus swing selections and above-average exit velocities and barrel charges.

Matic hit one other house run final week and now has 4 on the season. That is extra a guess on the underlying metrics than the efficiency, however as we’ve seen in 2026 with Blue Jays first baseman Sean Keys and Rays catcher Nathan Flewelling, the efficiency ultimately catches as much as excellent underlying information.

The deep (league) minimize of the week belongs to Guardians catcher Reiner Herrera, who has hit 9 house runs over his final 106 plate appearances whereas posting a 204 wRC+ throughout that stretch.

It has change into repetitive to level out {that a} Guardians prospect pairs above-average contact charges and swing selections with “solely” common exit velocities, however Herrera is a bit completely different.

Add all of it collectively, subtract the additional growth time catchers usually want within the minors, and RoboScout sees stable on-base potential with extra energy than is usually anticipated from the place.

RoboScout has a keenness for youngsters with 30% strikeout charges, particularly when the underlying stuff metrics help them. In consequence, the stroll charge hasn’t induced RoboScout to write down off Navarro simply but.

It’s straightforward to get misplaced within the Dodgers’ deep system, however after a formidable 11-strikeout efficiency over a season-high six innings final week, righthander Brady Smith sits simply outdoors the Low-A rankings.

With 4 house runs and a 120 wRC+ over 280 plate appearances this season, the 20-year-old has had a reasonably quiet 2026 marketing campaign, however RoboScout has no issues after trying on the Statcast information. Quintero has plus contact charges, plus barrel charges, a plus ninetieth percentile exit velocity and a chase charge no worse than league common. Final yr, his Statcast profile graded out as a 55/55 Hit/Energy mixture. This yr, it grades as a 60/60 whereas sustaining 60-grade chase and barrel charges. He ought to reward those that stay affected person.

These of you in deeper leagues might want to check out Reds first baseman Carter Graham, who has posted a scintillating 213 wRC+ with 13 house runs and 7 stolen bases during the last six weeks for Dayton. Though he’s a bit older at 24 and performs on the low finish of the defensive spectrum, the 2023 eighth-round pick of Stanford has plus-or-better exit velocities and launch angles together with average-or-better contact charges and swing selections.

After Dodgers outfielder Josue De Paula spent the previous few weeks threatening to take the Double-A RoboScout hitting crown from Pink Sox shortstop Franklin Arias, the 20-year-old Arias responded by hitting two house runs and elevating his wRC+ one other 12 factors this week. Simply when it appears his scorching begin has cooled, Arias reignites the religion RoboScout has proven in him. RoboScout initiatives Arias to submit the best peak wRC+ amongst 2026 minor league hitters.

For the third straight week, I’ve written that Mariners slugger Lazaro Montes hit two or extra house runs. RoboScout initiatives Montes to have probably the most house runs at peak amongst 2026 minor league hitters.

Final week, we in contrast Brewers first baseman Andrew Fischer to Spencer Torkelson based mostly on his hitting profile and projections, and the 22-year-old Fischer responded by hitting one other two house runs in his final 26 plate appearances. RoboScout sees a .235/.320 hitter at peak with 30-home run energy.

Though he has but to homer and has posted a 71% groundball charge by means of his first 21 plate appearances with Double-A Montgomery, Rays outfielder Theo Gillen’s mixture 2026 efficiency has him fourth on the checklist. RoboScout sees a better-than-average main league hitter with 20 to 25 house runs and 20 to 25 stolen bases at peak. It’s been an awesome season from the 20-year-old.

Ian Cundall wrote about White Sox third baseman Anthony DePino just a few weeks in the past as having fascinating Statcast information, and it’s now beginning to manifest within the outcomes. During the last six weeks, the 23-year-old has hit seven house runs in 150 plate appearances whereas posting a 144 wRC+. He has common contact charges, however his swing selections and exit velocities are above common or plus. The seventh-round decide in 2025 seems like he can change into a mean main league hitter with 20-plus house run energy. DePino is that this week’s deep (league) minimize from Double-A.

Congratulations to RoboScout darlings, Guardians newly anointed outfielder Cooper Ingle and Blue Jays nook infielder Sean Keys, on their promotions to the most important leagues final week.

Brewers third baseman Luke Adams is the poster youngster for conventional scouting versus statline scouting, because the unorthodox parts of the 22-year-old’s swing have injected an excessive amount of uncertainty into evaluators’ minds about the way it will translate in opposition to extra superior pitching. All through his minor league profession, nonetheless, Adams has proven the power to hit the ball with authority, posting a 106 mph ninetieth percentile exit velocity as an 18-year-old. Though his contact charges have regularly slipped from above common to fringe common, RoboScout nonetheless initiatives an above-average main league bat with 25-plus house runs. One other win for the Brewers’ participant growth equipment.

One of many hottest hitters in Triple-A proper now could be Rockies outfielder Charlie Condon, who entered Sunday with 11 house runs in his final 145 plate appearances with a 175 wRC+ over that stretch, then blasted two extra house runs. Though he hasn’t had the minor league profession his adorned collegiate profession hinted at, Condon is starting to emerge as a hitter with above-average on-base potential and 25-home run energy.

Nationals southpaw Jackson Kent now sits in fourth place after making two begins final week, putting out 9 and strolling three over 8.2 innings. Kent has been a revelation this yr, and RoboScout sees a midrotation starter.

After a shoulder pressure sidelined him for a lot of the season, Guardians righthander Yorman Gomez has made solely two Triple-A begins this yr however has posted a forty five% strikeout charge. The 23-year-old incorporates a 95 mph four-seam fastball that touches 98 mph, an 88 mph cutter and an 85 mph slider. He additionally mixes in a 77 mph curveball and a changeup.
