10 More MLB Prospects to Stash

Hitting ProspectsTo Stash

Davis Schneider, 2B/3B TOR

(58 GP .259/.385/.527, 14 HR, 39 R, 41 RBI, 6 SB)

Davis Schneider just popped up on my radar this season. He is a 24-year-old in the Blue Jays organization and has put together solid numbers at Triple-A Buffalo. Scheider has hit for power, crushing 14 home runs and 27 extra-base hits in 58 games. This power surge has come with solid plate discipline as Schneider has a 16.7% walk rate and a 23.8% strikeout rate. Toss in the six stolen bases in eight attempts and an above-average OBP of .385 and Schneider looks like a great stash candidate for deeper dynasty leagues.

Ronny Mauricio, SS/2B/OF NYM

(65 GP .325/.368/.546, 11 HR, 42 R, 41 RBI, 11 SB)

News out of Syracuse is that Ronny Mauricio is playing games in the outfield. This is big news for Mauricio who already got time at second base earlier in the season. This added positional flexibility opens Mauricio up to be an option for the Mets to call upon if there is an injury in the outfield. If you have read most of my blurbs or tweets on Mauricio (there have been a lot), you know I’ve been banging the drum for him to move to the outfield. Once there I believe Mauricio could be a top-20 dynasty outfielder with the swing adjustments and speed he has displayed this season. This might be the last call for Ronny Mauricio in dynasty leagues as he has performed all year long and now is becoming multi-position eligible.

David Hamilton, 2B/SS BOS

(52 GP .255/.339/.486, 11 HR, 39 R, 25 RBI, 27 SB)

The time is finally here for David Hamilton to make his major league debut! Hamilton made his debut last night vs. the Twins. He appeared as a pinch-runner and scored a run.

Known for his speed, Hamilton has swiped 149 bases in 171 attempts over the last three seasons. There is also some sneaky pop in Hamilton’s bat as he currently has 11 home runs in 52 minor league games and hit 12 in 2022. David Hamilton has shown solid plate discipline over the last three seasons with this year being no exception. Currently, Hamilton has an 11% walk rate to go along with a 21.5% strikeout rate.

This call-up brings a bit of excitement to the Red Sox lineup and could bring solid returns in stolen base numbers to dynasty managers quickly.

Dominic Canzone, OF ARI

(59 GP .354/.435/.665, 15 HR, 54 R, 58 RBI, 1 SB)

Can the Diamondbacks show Dominic Canzone some love, please?!? This is a prospect I’ve highlighted a couple of times already this season but he doesn’t seem to slow down. On the contrary, Canzone has continued to get better with 15 home runs in 59 games played and an OBP of .435. Canzone has continued to impress at the plate with a 13.4% walk rate against just a 12.6% strikeout rate. The reality is that the Diamondback outfield has been firing on all cylinders this season making it hard for Canzone to get a crack. Regardless, he should be on your radar as a player that could be an injury replacement and or trade target at the deadline.

Justin Foscue, 2B TEX

(57 GP .277/.405/.488, 8 HR, 44 R, 31 RBI, 7 SB)

A former first-round draft pick out of Mississippi State, Justin Foscue has put together a solid minor league career. I got the chance to watch him several times in High-A Hickory in 2021 and was impressed with his plate approach and the ability to drive the ball to all fields. Currently, Foscue is in Triple-A Round Rock where he has shown a solid plate approach with a 14.7% walk rate and an 11.2% strikeout rate. Foscue has shown strong extra-base numbers this season as well with 13 doubles, four triples, and eight home runs in 57 games.

The Rangers have been one of the hottest teams this season with all players contributing, so far the only player that could be expendable would be Josh Smith in a super-utility role. Foscue has had some time in the outfield in the minor leagues so this could be the only way for him to get time in a Rangers uniform or be used as a trade asset at the deadline.

Pitching Prospects To Stash

Robert Gasser, LHP MIL

(12 GS, 68 IP, 78 K, 30 BB, .221 AVG, 4.24 ERA)

Robert Gasser has put together a solid season in Triple-A Nashville and is currently leading the International League in strikeouts. Gasser’s 4.24 ERA looks rough but he has been a bit unlucky as his 3.94 FIP indicates. If you look over Gasser’s current numbers compared to last season, he has made improvements as BB/9 last year that was 5.47 is now down to 3.97. With Gasser being primarily a breaking ball pitcher that lives on swings and misses out of the zone, he will likely have higher walk rates long term.

Currently, the Brewers have Teheran, Miley, and Rea holding down the rotation spots behind Burnes and Peralta. For me, Rea might be the odd man out and could give Gasser a chance for a call-up in the coming weeks.

Ben Brown, RHP CHC

(13 GS, 63 IP, 93 K, 31 BB, .217 AVG, 2.71 ERA In AA & AAA) 

The Ben Brown train keeps chugging along in Triple-A Iowa. The right-hander has a 13.19 K/9 working off of his plus fastball, curveball, and slider but the downside has been his walk rate. Right now Brown has a 5.23 BB/9 and in his first two starts in June, Brown walked 11 batters in 8.1 innings pitched. Since then he seems to be back on track, issuing only two walks in 10.2 innings across his last two starts. Brown has an inflated 1.47 HR/FB for the season but has kept the ball down and in the park recently. The issue for Brown not being called up is how well the Cubs starters have been performing.

Despite Steele’s short stint on the injured list, the Cubs did not go to Ben Brown who is already on the 40-man roster leading me to believe Chicago wants Brown to iron out the walks and HR/9 issues in Iowa first.

Drew Rom, LHP BAL

(11 GS, 54.1 IP, 63 K, 27 BB, .306 AVG, 4.64 ERA) 

Baltimore has been on the rise in 2023 with the future slowly being worked into the Orioles’ starting lineup and rotations. Drew Rom might be the next name in pitching for the O’s behind Grayson Rodriguez and DL Hall. Rom has been solid in Triple-A Norfolk with a 10.44 K/9 and a solid 0.66 HR/9 across 11 starts. Walks have been the sticking point as he currently has a 4.47 BB/9 and the batting average against has been high at .306. Despite this Rom has a FIP of 3.91, indicating he is pitching better than his 4.64 ERA suggests. Baltimore’s Rotation has been impressive this season with the exception of Cole Irvin, making it possible for Rom to get a shot possibly before the All-Star break.

Jackson Wolf, LHP SDP

(13 GS, 62 IP, 80 K, 16 BB, .211 AVG, 3.77 ERA)

One of the surprise arms for the Padres has been Jackson Wolf, a 24-year-old left-hander repeating Double-A. In 62 innings, Wolf has managed an 11.61 K/9 while limiting the walks to 2.32 BB/9. The only blemish on Wolf’s season so far has been the 1.31 HR/9 which is not uncommon in the hitter-friendly Texas League. With the PCL being a hard league for pitchers to succeed we have seen some of the teams in the west pull straight up from Double-A with their confidence intact. The Padres rotation looks locked for the time being but injuries always have a way of paving the way for someone to take a spot. Keep your eyes on Jackson Wolf as the season rolls on.

Colton Gordon, LHP HOU

(11 GS, 61 IP, 73 K, 21 BB, .215 AVG, 3.98 ERA)

The Houston Astros have a way of taking little-known pitching prospects and turning them into dynasty darlings. Colton Gordon has an upside that stands out currently in Double-A Corpus Christi. In 61 innings, Gordon has a 10.77 K/9 and a 3.10 BB/9 to go along with his 0.89 HR/9. The walks are uncharacteristically high for Gordon as he averaged 1.36 BB/9 during the 2022 season. Despite this he has done a solid job of keeping the ball on the ground (40.4% ground ball rate) and in the park (10.5% HR/FB). Gordon’s FIP at 3.83 and BABIP at .289 support his current level of production.

Gordon’s pitch mix consists of a standard fastball, slider, curveball, and change-up, with the slider profiling as his best offering. The slider has a sweeping motion and comings in between 80-82 MPH and pairs well off of his 92-94 mph fastball. If given the chance Gordon could be a solid SP 3-4 in the Astros rotation as a lefty who could give batters fits. Keep Gordon on your radar in 20-team dynasty leagues and up.
