RoboScout’s Top Fantasy Prospects At Every Level On June 8, 2025


Geoff and I (and RoboScout) have been hard at work updating the Dynasty 500 rankings. Look for them to come out in the next couple days.
It’s a bit early for the Dominican Summer League “rankings” but there have been some interesting performances in the first week
Let’s dig in.
Dominican Summer League Hitting
It’s too early for a meaningful list, but a few hitters have made early noise. Typically, we don’t put much credence in 18-year-olds performing in the Dominican Summer League, as the odds of a player that age making the majors from the DSL are under 10%. Still, a few “adults” have turned in loud performances.
Tigers outfielder Cristian Perez has already hit three home runs in just 13 plate appearances—a strong early pace. Marlins catcher Almen Tolentino leads the DSL with four homers in 22 plate appearances.
The most impressive performance so far may belong to Marlins center fielder Luis Cova, who homered twice in his DSL debut. He’s since added another home run and two stolen bases. His 25% strikeout rate is a little high for the DSL and slightly out of character, given his 84% contact rate last year. It’s possible he’s selling out for power early on. Given his pedigree and performance, he’s a name to monitor—especially once he’s brought stateside.
Moving from surface stats to RoboScout targets: Rangers infielder Elorky Rodriguez, a $1 million-plus signing, is known for his bat and fringe-average power. Through 21 plate appearances, he has a 231 wRC+ and two home runs. Factoring in age, performance, and pedigree, Rodriguez is a worthwhile speculative add.
The Astros spent $850,000 on infielder Sami Manzueta, one of the youngest players in the class. The Venezuelan has one home run, two stolen bases, and a 165 wRC+ through his first 20 plate appearances. RoboScout values age-for-level, and Manzueta checks that box—especially with an ISO above .200 despite a 64% groundball rate.
Rockies signee Larry Suero ($425,000) is a hit-over-power infielder who likely won’t stay at shortstop but should be capable at another position. He’s off to a strong start, with a home run and three stolen bases in 21 plate appearances. He ranks lower on the early pseudo-charts but, along with Royals shortstop Warren Calcano, has opened the season hot.
Complex League Hitting
The top hitting performances for the Complex Leagues per RoboScout are:
Name | Team | Age | wRC+ | HR | SB | Robo | RoboCast | |
1 | Rainiel Rodriguez | STL | 18 | 222 | 7 | 1 | 100 | 100 |
2 | Edward Florentino | PIT | 18 | 173 | 5 | 4 | 80 | 80 |
3 | Jose Anderson | MIL | 18 | 200 | 3 | 3 | 79 | 79 |

6 | Dauri Fernandez | CLE | 18 | 170 | 1 | 9 | 75 | 75 |
7 | Anderson Fermin | BOS | 18 | 162 | 0 | 11 | 71 | 71 |
8 | Hayden Alvarez | LAA | 18 | 158 | 1 | 11 | 71 | 71 |
9 | Robert Arias | CLE | 18 | 137 | 2 | 9 | 70 | 70 |
10 | Pedro Ibarguen | MIL | 18 | 145 | 1 | 9 | 68 | 68 |
11 | Juan Ortuno | MIL | 18 | 150 | 3 | 3 | 68 | 68 |
12 | Devin Fitz-Gerald | TEX | 19 | 162 | 6 | 3 | 68 | 68 |
13 | Handelfry Encarnacion | MIL | 18 | 133 | 3 | 4 | 67 | 67 |
14 | Kevin Garcia | MIL | 17 | 97 | 3 | 0 | 67 | 67 |
15 | Stiven Martinez | BAL | 17 | 110 | 1 | 2 | 65 | 65 |
With two home runs last week, Pirates outfielder Edward Florentino now leads all non-Rainiel Rodriguez Complex League hitters. This isn’t entirely unexpected. Florentino had great underlying Statcast data as a 17-year-old in 2024 with above-average contact rates, strong exit velocities and solid swing decisions. After a slow start, Florentino is showing why he was a popular 2025 sleeper.
Angels outfielder Hayden Alvarez bumped his wRC+ from 143 to 158 this week, adding six stolen bases and climbing into the top 10.
Rangers shortstop Devin Fitz-Gerald, who entered Texas’ Top 30 in our June update, homered and stole a base, pushing into the top 15. Although our scouting grades say he has fringe-average power, his six home runs in 101 plate appearances as a 19-year-old at the Complex level translate to roughly 20–25 homer upside at maturity.
Complex Pitching
The top pitcher performances in the Complex Leagues per RoboScout are:

Blue Jays pitcher Johnny King has climbed to the No. 2 spot at the level after tossing 3.2 scoreless innings last week with seven strikeouts and no walks. The 18-year-old now boasts a 34% strikeout-minus-walk rate, a 0.00 ERA, and a 62% groundball rate—a stellar start to his professional career.
Low-A Hitting
The top hitting performances for Low-A per RoboScout are:
Name | Team | Age | wRC+ | HR | SB | Robo | RoboCast | |
1 | Luis Pena | MIL | 18 | 147 | 5 | 24 | 99 | 100 |
2 | Eduardo Quintero | LAD | 19 | 171 | 11 | 27 | 100 | 99 |

16 | Sam Shaw | TOR | 20 | 149 | 5 | 4 | 65 | 74 |
17 | Bryce Rainer | DET | 19 | 134 | 5 | 9 | 68 | 73 |
18 | Axiel Plaz | PIT | 19 | 139 | 9 | 1 | 70 | 72 |

20 | Owen Carey | ATL | 18 | 118 | 2 | 9 | 68 | 68 |
After homering and stealing a base this week, White Sox infielder Caleb Bonemer has climbed to No. 4 on the Low-A charts. Over the past 30 days, the 19-year-old shortstop/third baseman has posted a 168 wRC+ with three home runs and nine stolen bases across 103 plate appearances.
While his 26% strikeout rate during that span may raise eyebrows, it’s more a product of passivity than contact issues. Bonemer’s contact rate and swinging-strike rate are both better than league average, suggesting he’s simply working deep counts, as evidenced by an extremely high walk rate. RoboScout views him as an on-base machine with the potential to flirt with a 20-homer, 20-steal season. He’s trending like a top 50 fantasy prospect.
It was another solid week for Giants outfielder Carlos Gutierrez, who was profiled here. Though slightly older than RoboScout’s ideal age for the level at 20, Gutierrez has impressed since returning from a lost 2024 season in which he played just three games. Over the past five weeks, the Mexico native has delivered a 182 wRC+ with two home runs and 13 stolen bases, showcasing above-average speed and contact skills. With the ability to stick in center field, he offers a profile reminiscent of Daylen Lile with more stolen base upside.
Reds catcher Alfredo Duno has also impressed over the past month, compiling a 197 wRC+ with three home runs. Duno has long shown elite exit velocities and strong swing decisions, though his contact rates have been below-average. Now that it looks increasingly likely he’ll stick behind the plate, his value is rising accordingly. RoboScout sees an above-average major league hitter with on-base ability and 20-plus home run power. He’s an easy top 100 fantasy prospect.

Braves lefthander Cam Caminiti made his Low-A debut for Augusta with five strong innings, striking out eight and walking just one while generating a 21% swinging-strike rate. Combined with his Complex League performance, RoboScout already projects the 2024 first-rounder as a back-of-the-rotation starter with a peak projection comparable to Royals prospect David Shields.
Tigers righty Lucas Elissalt has a 91 mph high-ride fastball, a hard downer curve with over a foot of horizontal break and a tight 83 mph slider that gets above-average whiffs. He delivers them from a low release height and big extension, which helped him win Florida State League Pitcher of the Week honors in mid-May. A 13th-round pick out of Chipola College, Elissalt owns a 31% strikeout-minus-walk rate and sub-1.00 WHIP over his last four starts. With his arsenal, results, and the backing of Detroit’s pitching development machine, the 20-year-old profiles as a potential back-end starter.

20 | Esmerlyn Valdez | PIT | 21 | 152 | 15 | 0 | 65 | 68 |
There wasn’t much movement in the overall High-A rankings this week. Athletics infielder Tommy White drops out of the Top 20, while Tigers infielder Kevin McGonigle enters the list as his body of work continues to grow.
Rockies outfielder Jared Thomas climbs into the back of the list after homering and stealing three bases last week. On the season, the 21-year-old has a 146 wRC+ with seven home runs and 19 stolen bases. RoboScout projects Thomas as a slightly below-average hitter with 15-18 home run and 15-18 stolen base potential. Factoring in a future Coors Field park boost, he currently profiles as a top 150–200 fantasy prospect.
One of the hottest hitters in High-A over the past 30 days is Giants outfielder James Tibbs III. The 2024 first-round pick out of Florida State has slugged nine home runs in his last 109 plate appearances. Under the hood, the 22-year-old shows strong Statcast metrics: above-average swing decisions, above-average to plus contact and in-zone contact rates, and consistent barrel control with above-average exit velocities. As a college hitter at this level, he doesn’t get an age-for-level boost, but RoboScout sees a fringe regular with legitimate 25-homer upside.
Meanwhile, Josue Briceño and Leo De Vries continue to separate themselves from the rest of the High-A pack. Both now carry top-five projections—and top-five probabilities of reaching those projections—among all minor leaguers.

Marlins lefty Thomas White struck out eight and walked none over four innings last week, moving into the top 10 for the level. Over his last three starts at High-A Beloit, White has posted a 44% strikeout rate and the second-highest swinging-strike rate among High-A starters over the past 30 days at 22%. He’s done nothing to challenge his status as Miami’s top prospect.
Orioles righty Trey Gibson, fresh off a 13-strikeout outing on June 1, owns the best strikeout-minus-walk rate at the level over the past 30 days at 40%, spanning 18.1 innings. The 6-foot-5 righty pairs a mid-90s fastball with nearly 7 feet of extension, a plus mid-80s slider with more than a foot of horizontal sweep and a high-spin curveball with significant depth. Once seen as a likely back-end starter, Gibson is now trending more like a midrotation arm. He earned a promotion to Double-A Bowie and struck out eight over six innings in his debut.
Cubs prospect Ryan Gallagher continues to roll for High-A South Bend with a 0.72 WHIP, 2.15 ERA and a 32.5% strikeout-minus-walk rate in his last five starts. RoboScout projects him as a back-of-the-rotation starter.
Blue Jays righty Trey Yesavage continued his dominant run at High-A Vancouver, striking out nine over five innings this week. Despite a 16% walk rate, Yesavage remains comfortably ranked as the top pitcher at the level.
When Yankees righty Josh Grosz was drafted in the 11th round in 2023, most scouts assumed he would end up a reliever. But this month, the 6-foot-4 arm has averaged six innings per start and posted a 0.86 WHIP with a 2.93 ERA across his last 30.2 innings. Grosz made his debut in the Yankees’ Top 30 in this week’s update.

After boosting his wRC+ from 155 to 176 this week, Brewers infielder Luke Adams now sits atop the Double-A rankings, surpassing the production of Sebastian Walcott, Jett Williams and Bryce Eldridge. Adams and White Sox infielder Chase Meidroth are poster childs for the divide between the scouting community and the statline-model crowd.
Only time will settle the debate, but for now, RoboScout projects Adams to peak with a .270 average, .355 OBP, 20–25 home runs and 10–12 stolen bases. That profile plays at any infield position—though first base, where he’s spent most of 2025, is the least fantasy-friendly option. Still, Adams deserves credit for his 251 wRC+ over the past 30 days, even outpacing Blaze Jordan’s scorching stretch that earned him a promotion to Triple-A Worcester.
A pair of Cardinals cracked the top six after strong weeks. Catcher Leonardo Bernal launched three home runs to bring his season total to nine, while posting a 143 wRC+ as a 21-year-old. RoboScout sees an above-average bat with 20–25 homer potential, which is essentially a top 50 fantasy prospect. Bernal represents yet another success story in the Cardinals’ catcher development pipeline.
Shortstop JJ Wetherholt also joined the top 10 for the level after raising his wRC+ by 20 points this week with a home run. He’s showing a profile reminiscent of Cole Young, with strong batting average and OBP skills, modest power and 10–12 stolen base potential.

Coleman Crow first popped up on RoboScout’s radar in 2023 while with the Angels. Although his numbers were aided by the “tacky” ball in the Southern League, his high-spin curveball and high-ride fastball had standout traits that earned RoboScout’s attention. Midseason, Crow was traded to the Mets, underwent Tommy John surgery, and was then dealt to the Brewers during the offseason while still rehabbing.
Now 24 and returning after nearly two years away from game action, Crow has begun to ramp back up. He struck out nine over five innings in a start earlier this month, then followed that with six scoreless innings and another nine strikeouts without a walk. He debuts in the rankings as the No. 6 pitcher in Double-A. With quality control and an ability to keep the ball on the ground, RoboScout sees midrotation starter potential, even before factoring in the advantage of Milwaukee’s renowned pitching development system.
Chase Burns remains firmly entrenched atop the list after tossing seven shutout innings without issuing a walk. His 34% strikeout-minus-walk rate—and the 33% mark from Red Sox righthander Yordanny Monegro—stand out historically. Among Double-A starters age 22 or younger with at least 30 innings since 2006, those rates rank fifth and sixth, respectively, behind only Shane Baz, Tarik Skubal, Drew Thorpe and Reid Detmers. Both Burns and Monegro are shaping up as 2025 RoboDarlings.

Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo and Red Sox outfielder Roman Anthony have duked it out for the top spot in the Triple-A rankings. After a three-homer week, Basallo is on the podium. RoboScout now ranks him with the second-highest peak projection among all minor league hitters behind only Brewers prospect Luis Peña.
Giants first baseman Bryce Eldridge earned a promotion to Triple-A and wasted little time making an impact. In his first 18 plate appearances at the level, he’s hit one home run and posted a 110 wRC+. When combined with his Double-A performance, the 20-year-old projects as an above-average major league hitter with 25–30 home run power. RoboScout continues to view Eldridge as a top 10 fantasy prospect still in the minors.
An oblique injury to Ezequiel Tovar opened the door for Rockies shortstop Ryan Ritter, who was called up to the majors and has been hitting in the top third of Colorado’s lineup.
Phillies infielder Otto Kemp also made his MLB debut this weekend, filling in for the injured Bryce Harper. While RoboScout sees below-average bat-to-ball skills and some chase tendencies, Kemp’s raw power should allow him to overcome limited on-base ability and produce as a fringe-average major league bat with 25-homer upside.
RoboScout also flags a potential breakout from Rockies outfielder Sterlin Thompson, who is having a resurgent stretch. Over his last 99 plate appearances, he has six home runs, six stolen bases, and a 194 wRC+. After struggling throughout 2024 and early 2025 where he failed to top 110.4 mph in exit velocity, Thompson has recently posted batted balls at 111 and 113 mph. That’s a promising sign that the 24-year-old may be turning a corner.

After making one appearance for the Astros in late May, 28-year-old lefthander Brandon Walter returned to Triple-A and has since made two starts, going six innings in each without issuing a walk. He struck out seven and eight batters, respectively. Despite operating with a fastball velocity in the lower quartile among major leaguers, Walter’s low-slot release and above-average extension give hitters a unique look. His sinker, cutter, and slider mix has been effective, particularly the 92 mph sinker, which Fangraphs rates at 137 Stuff+ thanks to nearly 18 inches of armside run. Walter was recalled this weekend and pitched against the Guardians today.
The best pitcher in Triple-A over the past month—and another recent big league call-up—is Cardinals righthander Michael McGreevy. In his last five starts for Triple-A Memphis, McGreevy has posted a 1.37 ERA, a 56% groundball rate and a 26% strikeout-minus-walk rate. For the second year in a row, RoboScout projects him as a midrotation starter despite lacking overpowering stuff. In 35 major league innings excluding today’s solid outing against the Dodgers he owns a 2.34 ERA, 0.81 WHIP, and an xERA in the low-to-mid 3s. He’s an underrated dynasty asset.
Yankees righthander Cam Schlittler earned a promotion to Triple-A Scranton after 53 strong innings in Double-A, where he ranked in the Top 20 for the level. He debuted with eight strikeouts over five innings, giving up one home run and three walks. The 2025 body of work is encouraging: Schlittler sits in the mid-to-upper 90s with a high-slot release and above-average extension. His mid-80s slider breaks more than 12 inches and grades comfortably as plus. RoboScout now projects him as a midrotation starter, comparable to Reds righthander Chase Petty in both current trajectory and long-term upside. Expect Schlittler to pitch in the Bronx during the second half, if not sooner.
Lastly, congratulations to Rays lefthander Ian Seymour, who earned a callup to the majors this weekend.
Happy bidding!
