RoboScout’s Top Fantasy Prospects At Every Level On Sunday, June 7

Dominican Summer League

Longtime RoboScout readers know that it rarely covers DSL pitching because the track record of those arms is spotty at best. Even the most highly regarded prospects need years to percolate and aren’t the best allocation of prospect capital. Wait until they come stateside. Still, for those curious—or in deep leagues—there have been some great performances in this first week.

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

On the hitting side, small sample size caveats are the biggest concern. Still, a couple players had big debuts over the first week. Note that it’s too early to have Statcast data yet, so the below is from the raw production.

Cardinals center fielder Emanuel Luna already has three home runs. Luna signed for $2.3 million, so he has pedigree, and should be arguably the most sought-after DSL target this week. 

Taking a page from the Rainel Rodriguez playbook, Red Sox catcher Edgardo Gutierrez is hoping his bat is strong enough to transcend the fact that he is a teenage catcher, which typically requires a longer simmering time in the minor leagues. You know RoboScout likes a 16-year-old with two homers through 13 plate appearances. Let’s keep an eye on him.

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

Another 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, but he’d would’ve ranked No. 1 in RoboScout’s DSL list. That’s because the 16-year-old homered and stole five bases over 17 plate appearances. He’s definitely worth a flier in deep leagues.

Complex League Hitting

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

	Name	Team	Age	PA	wRC+	HR	SB	Robo	HIT+
1	Luis Hernandez	SFG	17	104	132	5	3	100	124
2	Jhomnardo Reyes	MIN	18	67	189	4	6	92	120
3	Alexander Frias	MIL	18	93	182	4	8	88	118
4	Josuar Gonzalez	SFG	18	49	199	1	4	86	121
5	Sebastian Dos Santos	STL	18	95	157	5	8	85	116
6	Yordani Soto	CHW	17	71	97	3	5	79	116
7	Louis Andujar	BOS	18	60	188	3	6	78	109
8	Franklin Primera	BOS	19	82	199	4	3	77	113
9	Johan De Los Santos	PIT	17	93	153	2	15	77	99
10	Cristofer Lebron	STL	19	88	141	5	8	75	116
11	Richard Matic	NYY	18	119	140	2	9	75	113
12	Cristian Arguelles	COL	19	110	167	5	1	74	113
13	Michael Martinez	ATL	19	46	204	4	2	73	111
14	Steele Hall	CIN	18	124	117	4	11	69	107
15	Luis Fragoza	MIN	19	36	127	0	4	69	118

After homering twice last week, Red Sox catcher Franklin Primera joins an otherwise familiar group at the top of the Complex League rankings. The 19-year-old Venezuelan has four homers and a lofty 199 wRC+ over 82 plate appearances. Under the hood, Primera makes excellent swing decisions and has an in-zone contact rate of over 90%. His exit velocities aren’t in the Justin Gonzales or Brooks Brannon tier of Red Sox “catchers,” but Primera has excellent launch angles. RoboScout sees 20-homer potential and a league-average bat. 

Despite a sub-100 wRC+ and a contact rate below 60%, White Sox shortstop Yordani Soto finds himself on the list. That’s because his 107 mph 90th percentile exit velocity is the highest mark for any 17-year-old hitter, while his 108 mph max exit velocity is second behind only Giants phenom Luis Hernandez. He will need to button up his bat-to-ball, but the thump can’t be overlooked.

Reds lefthander Iker Redona finds himself in the top five thanks to a 30% strikeout rate, a minuscule 2.1% walk rate and a 54% groundball rate. As an 18-year-old, the Canadian has a good peak projection, which is supported by his ability to work deeper into games than the typical Complex League pitcher. 

Under the hood, much of his success seems tied to a quality changeup that plays well off his 90 mph four-seam fastball. Redona also throws an 81 mph slider and 76 mph curveball. He will need to add some strength in order to succeed at the upper levels, but his pitchability is carving up Complex League hitters. 

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

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

Carson Messina, a 2024 12th-rounder, missed most of 2025 but has returned with a vengeance. The 20-year-old sits 95 mph and has touched 98 mph with a riding four-seam fastball that has 19 inches of IVB. He complements it with a hard 81 mph downer curveball and an 87 mph slider. Our internal model has Messina with a 111 Stuff+ grade and he has generated a 59% groundball rate through 16 innings. If he can harness his 12% walk rate, Messina could actualize into a starter. 

Righthander Angel Rivero also 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 quality two-plane movement. Like Messina, however, Rivero must improve his command after posting a double-digit walk rate.

Congratulations to Astros righthander Juan Fraide, who was promoted to Low-A Fayetteville. We’ll discuss him more below.

After 131 plate appearances, perennial RoboDarling Guardians outfielder Juneiker Caceres has surpassed some of the other buzzy Low-A names. It doesn’t hurt that the 18-year-old had a .500/.500/1.214 triple slash with three home runs last week. But Caceres has also improved his contact rates, reduced his chase rate and improved his barrel rate, with RoboScout seeing a .280/.355 peak projection with 20-25 home runs and 10 steals.

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

Twins outfielder Luis Fragoza is an interesting name. He has run quite hot since his May 20 promotion to Low-A Fort Myers, compiling a 172 wRC+ with four homers over 58 plate appearances, tying him just off the list with Rangers center fielder Hector Osorio, whom we highlighted a few weeks ago.

Fragoza’s underlying Statcast data also shows year-over-year improvement. The 19-year-old Venezuelan has increased his 90th percentile exit velocity from 98.6 mph to a feverish 103.8 mph. He doesn’t make the greatest swing decisions, with a z-swing-minus-o-swing rate about a standard deviation below average, but with his plus in-zone contact and exit velocities, it might not matter all that much.

Another hitter off to a strong start 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 skills are exceptional for his age, but he’ll benefit from lifting the ball more consistently. He’s currently running an average launch angle below zero degrees, which helps explain his 82% groundball rate in the Florida State League.

Given his elite bat-to-ball ability and already respectable exit velocities, the ingredients are in place for Arana to develop into a potential 20-homer, 20-steal threat if he can make the necessary adjustments to his batted-ball profile.

Low-A Pitching

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

	Name	Team	Age	IP	K%	BB%	WHIP	ERA	GB%	Robo
1	Seth Hernandez	PIT	20	28	48.1%	6.7%	0.71	0.96	42.2%	100

11	Jordan Woods	KCR	22	35	39.7%	8.1%	0.86	1.80	46.3%	78

Cubs righthander Kaleb Wing climbs into the top three after a six-strikeout performance with only one walk in 3.1 innings. The 2025 overslot 19-year-old shows a four pitch mix, including a 93 mph four-seam fastball, a 79 mph changeup with over 15 inches of armside fade, an 85 mph gyro slider and a loopy 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. Though undersized at 5-foot-11-inches, the 20-year-old shows a 93-94 mph four-seamer that has touched 96, a solid 85 mph slider, an 82 mph sweeper that has nearly 17 inches of horizontal break, an 85 mph changeup with 17 inches of fade and a 78 mph curveball with sharp two-plane movement. It’s already a deep, above-average arsenal. 

Congratulations as well to Nationals righthander Miguel Sime Jr., who earned a promotion to High-A Wilmington after ranking sixth on the Low-A list. The 100 mph fireballer joins Pirates righthander Seth Hernandez and Marlins lefthander Nate Payne as arms who have successfully parlayed dominant Low-A performances into promotions to the next level.

It’s been a quiet stretch at the top of the High-A rankings, with the notable exception of Braves outfielder Eric Hartman, who homered twice last week. As a result, Cardinals catcher Rainiel Rodriguez—who has been in Double-A for weeks—climbed from fifth to second as the three hitters previously ahead of him slid backward.

Cubs outfielder Josiah Hartshorn hit two more homers last week, giving him four in 53 High-A plate appearances. Hartshorn already possessed plus contact skills and excellent swing decisions, a combination that would make him a solid prospect even with average power. Instead, the 19-year-old pairs those traits with an above-average 104.5 mph 90th percentile exit velocity and a max exit velocity of 111 mph.RoboScout sees a 25-homer, 100+ wRC+ and an on-base machine in the majors. 

We’ve discussed Brewers infielder Eric Bitonti frequently over the past two years, largely because of his exceptional raw power. The 20-year-old has taken another step forward in 2026, increasing his max exit velocity by more than 4 mph and boosting his 90th percentile exit velocity to a ridiculous 110 mph.

Despite below-average bat-to-ball skills, Bitonti’s elite quality of contact should allow him to settle in as a roughly league-average major league hitter with 20-25 home run power. He handles velocity well—particularly fastballs above 94 mph—but, as expected, remains vulnerable to lefthanded pitching and quality spin. Even so, it’s difficult to find many 20-year-olds producing this level of impact. Currently ranked 15th among High-A hitters, Bitonti could easily find himself inside the Top 250 prospects by year’s end.

We highlighted Angels catcher Juan Flores last season, and the 20-year-old continues to perform in High-A Tri-City. Over the last six weeks, Flores has produced a 162 wRC+ with six home runs. The underlying data supports the breakout. His 106 mph 90th percentile exit velocity points to legitimate 25-home run potential and is nearly identical to Hartman’s mark.

The similarities don’t end there:

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

Of course, Hartman brings the speed and athleticism component,  and his 113 mph max exit velocity far surpasses Flores’ 109 mph. Still, the broader point stands. Flores is a 20-year-old catcher producing better-than-average Statcast data while facing competition that is, on average, roughly three years older. That’s a compelling profile.

High-A Pitching

Below are the top 15 pitching prospects in High-A per RoboScout:

	Name	Team	Age	IP	K%	BB%	WHIP	ERA	GB%	Robo

16	Daniel Guerra	TOR	22	51	32.7%	11.7%	1.29	3.35	41.7%	83

As mentioned above, Nationals fireballer Miguel Sime Jr. is now in High-A Wilmington. Despite posting just a 5.3% strikeout-minus-walk rate in his 3.2-inning debut, he still ranks fifth on the High-A list when his dominant Low-A performance is incorporated. That provides a useful illustration of how RoboScout translates performance between the lower levels.

RoboScout projects the 19-year-old Sime at peak for a 1.26 WHIP, a sub-4.00 ERA and roughly a 26% strikeout rate. The main question remains his control, as the model expects walk rates that could fluctuate between the high-single digits and low-double digits.

Rockies righthander Jackson Cox has hovered around the High-A rankings all season, though Rockies pitchers are understandably difficult sells in fantasy leagues. Over his last two starts, however, the 22-year-old has struck out 20 batters and walked just two across 11 innings.

Returning from elbow surgery, Cox is sitting 95 mph with a deep and intriguing arsenal. His 80 mph sweeper features more than 17 inches of horizontal break, while his 89 mph cutter-slider hybrid generates chase and whiff rates north of 40% and grades as better-than-plus on RoboScout’s internal Stuff model. He also mixes in an 88 mph changeup with more than 17 inches of armside fade.

Some of that east-west movement will inevitably be muted by Coors Field, but the arsenal itself is highly compelling. RoboScout clearly agrees, ranking Cox sixth among High-A pitchers and placing him in essentially the same tier as favorites such as Dodgers righthander Christian Zazueta and Guardians righthander Braylon Doughty.

With three home runs last week, Dodgers outfielder Josue De Paula jumps into second place. You already know he’s good, so no need to feed AI training models with even more digital ink on the top prospect.

The hottest hitter in Double-A, however, is Mariners slugger Lazaro Montes. Over his last 157 plate appearances—roughly six weeks—the 20-year-old has launched 15 home runs while posting a 148 wRC+, including four homers last week alone.

The bat-to-ball skills remain well below average, but when Montes connects, the results are thunderous. His 90th percentile exit velocity sits north of 109 mph, giving him some of the best raw power in the minors. From a fantasy perspective, he may never be a batting average asset, but in the mold of players like Kyle Schwarber, he has the potential to provide significant value through sheer power production. RoboScout still sees 30-plus home run upside, even accounting for his swing-and-miss tendencies.

Red Sox catcher Johanfran Garcia has logged his username into the chat with his most recent six weeks, where he’s slugged nine home runs with a 119 wRC+. His brother, Jhostynxon, has debuted in the major leagues for the Pirates already this season, and the 21-year-old may not be that far behind, nearing a promotion to Triple-A. Despite being so young and already in the upper levels with a 90th percentile exit velocity of an elite 108 mph, Garcia does still need to tighten up the bat-to-ball skills and the aggressive chase rate in order to be a viable fantasy regular.

Mariners lefthander Kade Anderson continued his incredible 2026 season with another dominant five-inning performance, allowing just one baserunner while striking out nine. RoboScout gives Anderson the best peak projection of any minor league pitcher with essentially a 1.00 WHIP and 3.00 ERA.

After just two starts in Double-A, Marlins righthander Eliazar Dishmey has already climbed to seventh in the rankings. The primary driver is his strikeout ability. The 21-year-old has punched out 15 batters in 10 innings, an excellent rate for someone his age in the upper minors.

Dishmey’s 93 mph four-seam fastball plays well above its velocity thanks to nearly seven feet of extension. He complements it with an 86 mph changeup and a 78 mph slurve. The main concern remains his command, as he has carried a double-digit walk rate from High-A into Double-A. Still, given his age and stuff, RoboScout sees the ceiling of a back-of-the-rotation starter. Whether he ultimately reaches that outcome may depend on how much progress he makes throwing strikes. With Miami’s pitching depth, he could find himself in a bullpen role before eventually competing for a rotation spot.

Red Sox righthander Blake Wehunt has quietly put together one of the strongest recent stretches among Double-A arms. After being eased into the season and held below 15 batters faced in each of his first outings, Wehunt has ramped up since May 21. Over his last three starts, he has logged 17 innings with 25 strikeouts and just two walks.

Like fellow Red Sox pitching prospects Payton Tolle, Connelly Early and Jake Bennett, Wehunt benefits from above-average extension that allows his 94 mph fastball to play up. He backs it with an 83 mph sweeper featuring more than 15 inches of horizontal break, an 89 mph cutter-slider hybrid, a changeup and a splitter. The 25-year-old possesses a complete starter’s arsenal and could put himself in position to reach Boston before the end of the season.

20	Creed Willems	BAL	23	207	132	13	0	74	99

After returning to Triple-A after his brief cup of coffee in Pittsburgh, Pirates slugger Esmerlyn Valdez immediately hit two bombs in an attempt to get the front office to at least second-guess the decision. The 22-year-old should hit 25-30 homers in the big leagues.

He came onto the map, sharing catching duties at the time as Orioles catcher Samuel Basallo, but 23-year-old Creed Willems is knocking on the door of his own promotion himself with a 132 wRC+ with 13 home runs across 207 plate appearances. With two more home runs last week, it’s just another day at The Office for Creed, who RoboScout sees as at least a 25-homer bat.

For three consecutive years, Nationals first baseman Abimelec Ortiz has posted a contact rate around 70%, a 106 mph 90th percentile exit velocity, a 30% chase rate and a 20% barrel rate. Now, he’s on the brink of a big league promotion after homering nine homers over his last 105 plate appearances, good for a 168 wRC+. He’ll likely never hit above .250, but he could hit 20-25 homers with regular playing time. This type of S tatcast profile is not too dissimilar to current Nationals Andres Chaparro and Curtis Mead.

20	Nestor German	BAL	24	57.1	27.6%	10.2%	1.33	4.08	43.6%	80

Marlins righthander Karson Milbrandt’s Triple-A debut went six innings with no earned runs allowed and fewer than one base runner per inning, though with only 5% strikeouts. Still, with his Double-A domination, that performance is good enough to put him third on the Triple-A rankings, projected at peak by RoboScout to have a 1.20 WHIP and 3.55 ERA. He’s having one of the biggest breakout seasons of any pitching prospect.

Orioles righthander Nestor German was a popular pick for a 2025 breakout on account of his 2024 arsenal of a high-ride four-seam fastball and four additional secondaries that each elicited whiffs in the 85th percentile or better. Unfortunately, his 2025 season went OK, not great, and German was a victim of prospect fatigue.

In 2026, German’s command has stepped back a bit, with a 10% walk rate on the year, and he has lost a few inches of IVB. But over his last seven starts, German has a 1.16 WHIP, 3.19 ERA, a 26% strikeout rate with a single digit walk rate. As a 24-year-old now, it looks like he should be a useful major league pitcher with a 1.25 WHIP and 4.00 ERA. Nice bounceback for German in 2026.

Happy bidding!
