RoboScout’s Top Fantasy Prospects At Every Level For Sunday, June 28

Dominican Summer League

Below are the top 10 hitters in the DSL per RoboScout:

Last week we mentioned that 16-year-old Padres outfielder Ricardo De La Paz sat atop the DSL hitter rankings on the strength of his compelling Statcast data over 51 plate appearances. Since then, however, he’s had just one plate appearance. The good news is that he’s been added to the Fantrax player pool and can now be picked up as a flier.

After hitting two home runs on Thursday, Diamondbacks outfielder Manny Almonte has climbed into second place in these nascent rankings, with five home runs in 60 plate appearances as a 17-year-old. At this level, we’re probably more interested in the underlying metrics than the performance, and the 6-foot signee out of the Dominican Republic has above-average or better in-zone contact, barrel rates, swing decisions and 90th percentile exit velocity. A nice start for an unheralded prospect.

Complex League Hitting

Below are the top 15 hitters in the Complex Leagues per RoboScout:

None of the top six hitters on the list hit a home run last week, though Brewers outfielder Alexander Frias and Cardinals shortstop Sebastian Dos Santos are no longer at the complex. The seventh-ranked Rockies outfielder Cristian Arguelles, however, did homer while also stealing two bases.

The 19-year-old Arguelles shows plus contact rates, above-average exit velocities with a max of 111 mph, but some passivity, as evidenced by his 39% swing rate. RoboScout sees a league-average major league hitter with 20-plus home run potential who should be in Low-A Fresno shortly.

Last year, RoboScout identified catcher Miguel Caraballo as one to watch after the Venezuelan posted a 102.5 mph 90th percentile exit velocity in the DSL as a 16-year-old. After being traded to the Twins as part of the Daniel Susac deal, Caraballo has produced five home runs, 11 stolen bases and a 130 wRC+ as a 17-year-old.

His contact rates have slipped a bit and now grade out around a 45 on the 20-80 scale, but his swing decisions are above average and everything else is solidly average. RoboScout sees a slightly below-average hitter with 20-plus home run potential.

Last year, RoboScout identified Yankees third baseman Richard Matic as a player to watch after he posted a 90th percentile exit velocity above 103 mph with excellent swing decisions but only average contact rates. This year, the 18-year-old has raised his contact rates to plus while maintaining his plus swing decisions and above-average exit velocities and barrel rates.

Matic hit another home run last week and now has four on the season. This is more a bet on the underlying metrics than the performance, but as we’ve seen in 2026 with Blue Jays first baseman Sean Keys and Rays catcher Nathan Flewelling, the performance eventually catches up to very good underlying data.

The deep (league) cut of the week belongs to Guardians catcher Reiner Herrera, who has hit nine home runs over his last 106 plate appearances while posting a 204 wRC+ during that stretch.

It has become repetitive to point out that a Guardians prospect pairs above-average contact rates and swing decisions with “only” average exit velocities, but Herrera is a bit different. He actually has above-average exit velocities—with a max of 110 mph—while also barreling the ball at an above-average rate.

Add it all together, subtract the extra development time catchers typically need in the minors, and RoboScout sees solid on-base ability with more power than is typically expected from the position.

Complex League Pitching

Below are the top 10 pitchers in the Complex Leagues per RoboScout:

Another solid five-inning performance this week from Angels southpaw Johnny Slawinski, who remains atop the Complex League pitching rankings. There have been some front office shakeups in the organization this week, but it’s hard to see how Slawinski doesn’t earn a promotion to Low-A Inland Empire at any moment.

Guardians righthander Alejandro Rivera struck out six over four innings last week without issuing a walk and now appears in the top 10. That may be more a testament to the lack of clear tiers among Complex League pitchers right now, where a string of consistently solid performances can quickly move a pitcher into the conversation.

The 5-foot-10, 19-year-old sits 92-94 mph from a low slot, giving his fastball flat characteristics. His primary secondary is a changeup with more than 10 mph of velocity separation and 16 inches of armside fade, along with an 80 mph slider that features bullet movement traits.

Right now, the arsenal doesn’t stand out metrically, but each pitch grades as average or better for the level. In other words, he’s not yet a fully formed pitcher with outlier traits, but he has the ingredients for the Guardians’ pitching development system to mold into a back-of-the-rotation starter.

Low-A Hitting

Below are the top 20 hitters in Low-A per RoboScout:

Guardians outfielder Juneiker Caceres hit another home run last week and now has seven on the season, projecting as a 25-home run bat in the major leagues with a .355 OBP. That moves the 18-year-old into second place in the Low-A rankings. He’s definitely a top-50 fantasy hitting prospect according to RoboScout.

Astros shortstop Xavier Neyens had a big week with three home runs and two stolen bases, raising his season wRC+ to 150. With 11 home runs in 256 plate appearances as a teenager in Low-A, RoboScout projects 25-plus home runs, supported by a 109 mph 90th percentile exit velocity and a 116 mph max exit velocity.

A pair of Complex League graduates also appear on the list. Brewers outfielder Alexander Frias has a home run, four stolen bases and a 105 wRC+ in his first 23 plate appearances with Low-A Carolina. RoboScout sees 20 to 25 home runs and 15 stolen bases from the 18-year-old.

The other Complex League graduate is Cardinals shortstop Sebastian Dos Santos, who hit his first Low-A home run last week while adding four stolen bases and raising his Low-A Palm Beach wRC+ to 133. RoboScout sees the 18-year-old as a 25-home run bat with 15 to 18 stolen bases. He ranks 13th in the Low-A rankings but sixth among hitters still at the level after removing those who have been promoted to High-A.

Over the last six weeks, Angels outfielder Hayden Alvarez has stolen 22 bases—seven more than the next-closest player. The 19-year-old has also hit five home runs and posted a 173 wRC+ during that stretch while walking in 20% of his plate appearances. Under the hood, Alvarez has league-average contact rates, swing decisions and barrel rate to go with above-average exit velocities. That combination of skills has RoboScout projecting a league-average 20/20 bat at peak, and he sits just outside the Low-A rankings.

Low-A Pitching

Below are the top 10 pitching prospects in Low-A per RoboScout:

The Low-A pitching performance of the week, of course, belongs to Yankees lefthander Henry Lalane, who struck out 12 Blue Jays over seven innings while allowing just one baserunner.

Over the last six weeks, the post-hype 22-year-old has posted a 0.68 WHIP, 1.27 ERA and a 37% strikeout rate. He’s not quite on the full-season rankings yet, but he has steadily improved as the season has progressed. In fact, if the season had started six weeks ago, Lalane would rank first, even though he is older than many of the other names on the list.

RoboScout has long loved Pirates lefthander Reinold Navarro because of his arsenal, writing about him last year as having a “high-IVB power fastball.” In 2025, he sat 95 mph and touched 99 mph with 21 inches of IVB. His primary secondaries were an 83 mph curveball and an 88 mph changeup.

This year, the 19-year-old is sitting 96-97 mph and touching 99 mph while maintaining those same 21 inches of IVB. His curveball and changeup remain essentially unchanged from 2025.

The 22% walk rate is admittedly unwieldy and likely puts Navarro on a permanent bullpen track, but he is still capable of flashes of brilliance, such as last week when he struck out 10 Cardinals over four innings, albeit with four walks. RoboScout has a fondness for teenagers with 30% strikeout rates, especially when the underlying stuff metrics support them. As a result, the walk rate hasn’t caused RoboScout to write off Navarro just yet.

It’s easy to get lost in the Dodgers’ deep system, but after an impressive 11-strikeout performance over a season-high six innings last week, righthander Brady Smith sits just outside the Low-A rankings. He would rank fourth if pitchers no longer at the level were removed.

The third-round pick in 2023 missed all of 2024 following Tommy John surgery, and residual forearm issues limited him to just 21 innings in 2025.

The 21-year-old sits 94 mph and touches 97 mph, with an above-average changeup serving as his primary secondary. He also added a 90 mph cutter and an 87 mph slider in 2026 to go along with his 80 mph curveball. It’s a starter’s arsenal, with all five pitches grading as average or better on our internal model. With a 30% strikeout-minus-walk rate on the season, RoboScout projects Smith as a back-of-the-rotation starter.

High-A Hitting

Below are the top 20 hitting prospects at High-A so far, per RoboScout:

Although he is still holding onto the top spot in the High-A rankings, Braves outfielder Eric Hartman has hit a bit of a speed bump recently, with “only” a 94 wRC+ and six home runs over his last 147 plate appearances, though he did add another homer today. Still, over his full-season sample of 307 plate appearances, RoboScout projects him to peak at 40 home runs and 20 to 25 stolen bases. He’s on the short list of candidates for Minor League Player of the Year.

After being promoted to High-A Great Lakes and being featured here last week, Dodgers third baseman Chase Harlan has already hit two home runs in his first 19 plate appearances, announcing his arrival in the top 15 of the rankings. We talked about his 109 mph 90th percentile exit velocity and barrel rate last week. RoboScout still views him as underrated.

With three home runs in his last six games, popular sleeper Red Sox outfielder Justin Gonzales flies back onto the High-A list in 18th place. With 10 home runs in 277 plate appearances and a 108 mph 90th percentile exit velocity, RoboScout sees an easy 20-plus home runs in his bat. Although he still chases more than 30% of the time, his z-swing-minus-o-swing rate is actually better than average. Combined with his above-average contact rates, RoboScout projects him as roughly a .260 hitter in the major leagues. Now playing primarily right field, the 6-foot-6 Gonzales will draw inevitable comparisons to Aaron Judge because of his size and power.

With a six-game hitting streak during which he has also homered, Dodgers outfielder Eduardo Quintero checks in at the bottom of the rankings. With four home runs and a 120 wRC+ over 280 plate appearances this season, the 20-year-old has had a fairly quiet 2026 campaign, but RoboScout has no concerns after looking at the Statcast data. Quintero has plus contact rates, plus barrel rates, a plus 90th percentile exit velocity and a chase rate no worse than league average. Last year, his Statcast profile graded out as a 55/55 Hit/Power combination. This year, it grades as a 60/60 while maintaining 60-grade chase and barrel rates. He should reward those who remain patient.

Those of you in deeper leagues may want to take a look at Reds first baseman Carter Graham, who has posted a scintillating 213 wRC+ with 13 home runs and seven stolen bases over the last six weeks for Dayton. Although he’s a bit older at 24 and plays at the low end of the defensive spectrum, the 2023 eighth-round pick out of Stanford has plus-or-better exit velocities and launch angles along with average-or-better contact rates and swing decisions. It all points to a potential league-average major league hitter with 25-plus home run power, though it’s worth noting the median major league first baseman has produced a 120 wRC+ this season.

High-A Pitching

Below are the top 20 pitching prospects in High-A per RoboScout:

For the second straight week, Guardians righthander Braylon Doughty struck out seven batters without issuing a walk over six innings. That moves the 20-year-old into a tie for seventh place, or fourth among pitchers still at the level. RoboScout sees a back-of-the-rotation starter with a midrotation ceiling.

Diamondbacks righthander Patrick Forbes has thrown only 12.1 innings in High-A this year after the 29th overall pick in the 2025 draft battled an elbow injury. The Louisville product had great stuff coming out of the draft and has posted a 31% strikeout-minus-walk rate in his nascent High-A campaign. Forbes is heavily regressed because of the small sample size, but RoboScout already sees the makings of a back-of-the-rotation starter.

Last week we wrote about Marlins righthander Liomar Martinez, his excellent-even-by-major-league-standards curveball and his 96 mph four-seam fastball, while noting he needed to harness his command. The 21-year-old validated that RoboScouting report with a third straight start of eight strikeouts over at least five innings, though he also issued four walks in his latest outing. RoboScout loves the stuff and the potential.

Another pitcher we wrote about last week, Dodgers righthander Christian Zazueta, earned a promotion to Double-A after publication. Congratulations to him, whom you’ll see in the Double-A rankings below.

Double-A Hitting

Below are the top 20 hitting prospects at Double-A per RoboScout:

After Dodgers outfielder Josue De Paula spent the past few weeks threatening to take the Double-A RoboScout hitting crown from Red Sox shortstop Franklin Arias, the 20-year-old Arias responded by hitting two home runs and raising his wRC+ another 12 points this week. Just when it seems his scorching start has cooled, Arias reignites the faith RoboScout has shown in him. RoboScout projects Arias to post the highest peak wRC+ among 2026 minor league hitters.

For the third straight week, I’ve written that Mariners slugger Lazaro Montes hit two or more home runs. RoboScout projects Montes to have the most home runs at peak among 2026 minor league hitters.

Last week, we compared Brewers first baseman Andrew Fischer to Spencer Torkelson based on his hitting profile and projections, and the 22-year-old Fischer responded by hitting another two home runs in his last 26 plate appearances. RoboScout sees a .235/.320 hitter at peak with 30-home run power.

Although he has yet to homer and has posted a 71% groundball rate through his first 21 plate appearances with Double-A Montgomery, Rays outfielder Theo Gillen’s aggregate 2026 performance has him fourth on the list. RoboScout sees a better-than-average major league hitter with 20 to 25 home runs and 20 to 25 stolen bases at peak. It’s been a great season from the 20-year-old.

Ian Cundall wrote about White Sox third baseman Anthony DePino a few weeks ago as having interesting Statcast data, and it’s now starting to manifest in the results. Over the last six weeks, the 23-year-old has hit seven home runs in 150 plate appearances while posting a 144 wRC+. He has average contact rates, but his swing decisions and exit velocities are above average or plus. The seventh-round pick in 2025 looks like he can become an average major league hitter with 20-plus home run power. DePino is this week’s deep (league) cut from Double-A.

Double-A Pitching

Below are the top 20 pitchers in Double-A per RoboScout:

Mariners righthander Ryan Sloan turned in a beautiful nine-strikeout performance without issuing a walk over 5.1 innings and has jumped into third place in the Double-A rankings. RoboScout projects the 20-year-old as a midrotation starter with a 1.17 WHIP and a 3.50 ERA.

After a five-inning debut, Dodgers righthander Christian Zazueta debuts in fourth place, surpassing Red Sox breakout Anthony Eyanson. Last week we waxed poetically about the 21-year-old Zazueta’s arsenal, and RoboScout sees a midrotation starter.

This week’s Double-A deep name is Braves righthander Brett Sears, who has a 36% strikeout rate, a minuscule 1.5% walk rate and a worm-murdering 65% groundball rate over his last four starts. His kitchen-sink arsenal grades out as average, but it plays up thanks to nearly seven feet of extension and a low release point that gives his 91 mph fastball a pancake-flat -3.8 VAA. Sears isn’t a prospect in the traditional sense at 26 years old, but with his upper-level experience, he could make some starts for Atlanta in 2027 in the mold of Bryce Elder, Dylan Dodd or Allan Rangel, all of whom have made spot starts for the Braves in recent years.

Triple-A Hitting

Below are the top 20 hitters in Triple-A per RoboScout:

Congratulations to RoboScout darlings, Guardians newly anointed outfielder Cooper Ingle and Blue Jays corner infielder Sean Keys, on their promotions to the major leagues last week.

Brewers third baseman Luke Adams is the poster child for traditional scouting versus statline scouting, as the unorthodox components of the 22-year-old’s swing have injected too much uncertainty into evaluators’ minds about how it will translate against more advanced pitching. Throughout his minor league career, however, Adams has shown the ability to hit the ball with authority, posting a 106 mph 90th percentile exit velocity as an 18-year-old. Although his contact rates have gradually slipped from above average to fringe average, RoboScout still projects an above-average major league bat with 25-plus home runs. Another win for the Brewers’ player development apparatus.

One of the hottest hitters in Triple-A right now is Rockies outfielder Charlie Condon, who entered Sunday with 11 home runs in his last 145 plate appearances with a 175 wRC+ over that stretch, then blasted two more home runs. Although he hasn’t had the minor league career his decorated collegiate career hinted at, Condon is beginning to emerge as a hitter with above-average on-base ability and 25-home run power. Add in the Coors Field factor, and his prospect floor rises significantly. Cole Carrigg has already been promoted, and Zac Veen debuted last year. Condon is likely the next name to be called to Colorado.

Triple-A Pitching

Below are the top 20 pitchers in Triple-A per RoboScout:

Nationals southpaw Jackson Kent now sits in fourth place after making two starts last week, striking out nine and walking three over 8.2 innings. Kent has been a revelation this year, and RoboScout sees a midrotation starter.

After a shoulder strain sidelined him for much of the season, Guardians righthander Yorman Gomez has made only two Triple-A starts this year but has posted a 45% strikeout rate. The 23-year-old features a 95 mph four-seam fastball that touches 98 mph, an 88 mph cutter and an 85 mph slider. He also mixes in a 77 mph curveball and a changeup.

Essentially all five of those primary pitches grade as average or slightly better. Having five average pitches makes for a very good arsenal. Gomez is tied for 20th in Triple-A right now—or 10th if you remove those pitchers already in the major leagues or, in the case of Thomas White, on the IL—but expect him to rise in the rankings as he accumulates more innings.

Happy bidding!
