The Top 15 in the Weekly Hot Prospects Report

As we roll out our latest update to the RotoProspects Top 700 Prospect fantasy baseball rankings, let’s dive into the key updates surrounding the top-ranked prospects this week.

Pirates phenom Konnor Griffin is getting very close to the Top 10

His combination of 70-grade speed and emerging power makes him one of the most dynamic teenage prospects in the sport.

Jac Caglianone makes his major-league debut

Caglianone (pictured above) breaks into the top 10 following his highly anticipated MLB debut, where he showcased his trademark power and poise. The two-way Florida star quickly made noise with a 114.8 mph double in his first week and continues to slug at the big-league level. His 70-grade power, backed by consistent exit velocity metrics, makes him a fixture in the Royals’ long-term plans — and one of the most exciting young bats in the majors.

Konnor Griffin surges into the Top 15

The Pittsburgh Pirates prospect has surged into the top 15 as his season line is up to .310/.361/.511 with 18 extra-base hits and 21 stolen bases in his first 42 games. The 19-year-old outfielder has been on a tear with Low-A Bradenton, showcasing his dynamic skill set that includes power, speed, and defensive versatility. During a recent nine-game hitting streak, Griffin slashed an impressive .525/.535/.750, contributing two home runs and six stolen bases.

The Top 10 Update

No. 1. Roman Anthony – OF, Boston Red Sox

Still holding strong at No. 1, Anthony continues to showcase elite on-base skills and developing power in Triple-A. With a 60-grade future value, his blend of bat control, patience, and athleticism make him the most complete outfield prospect in the game. A mid-2025 debut feels all but inevitable.

2. Leo De Vries – SS, San Diego Padres

The Padres’ 18-year-old wunderkind is still having no trouble handling High-A, flashing plus contact and speed tools to go with mature plate discipline. Already looking like a future leadoff stalwart, De Vries boasts a 65 FV ceiling and might be the best teenage hitter in the minors right now.

3. Jesus Made – SS, Milwaukee Brewers

Another 18-year-old phenom, Made brings plus tools across the board and is obliterating Single-A pitching. He now shares the highest FV in the rankings (65) and could leapfrog De Vries soon with his advanced switch-hitting profile and superb defense.

4. Sebastian Walcott – SS, Texas Rangers

Walcott has slowed down a bit in May, but he’s flashing a tantalizing ceiling as a middle-of-the-order bat with positional value.

5. Nick Kurtz – 1B, Athletics

Kurtz’s stock skyrocketed after he crushed four home runs in a four-game span, raising his OPS up to .762. The slugging lefty is proving he belongs and now ranks as the top first base prospect in baseball. He just hit the IL with a hip injury.

6. Luke Keaschall – 2B, Minnesota Twins

Keaschall made his MLB debut in April and has since surpassed Emmanuel Rodriguez as the Twins’ No. 2 prospect, reflecting his rapid development. Expect him to be a fixture in the Twins’ lineup once healthy.

7. Matt Shaw – 2B/3B, Chicago Cubs

Now that he is back, Shaw has had five multi-hit efforts in his first ten games back in the majors. His 60 FV reflects his multi-positional value and upside as a potential All-Star in Chicago’s infield.

8. Walker Jenkins – OF, Minnesota Twins

Jenkins drops a bit due to injury (IL), but the skill set remains elite. With a 70-grade hit tool, he’s arguably the best pure hitter in the minors when healthy. He’s expected back later this summer and could be a future cornerstone in Minnesota’s outfield.

9. Samuel Basallo – C/1B, Baltimore Orioles

Basallo climbs after slugging at Triple-A with 70-grade raw power. While his defense behind the plate is still a work in progress, the bat could carry him to the big leagues soon—possibly by the All-Star break.

10. Bubba Chandler – SP, Pittsburgh Pirates

Cracking the top 10 for the first time, Chandler (pictured above) is showing front-line starter potential (2.27 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 61 Ks in 43.2 IP). He could debut as soon as late 2025.

Nick Kurtz jumps into the Top Five

His rise in the latest update to the Top 700 prospect rankings is a testament to his recent offensive surge. After a slow start to his MLB career, the 22-year-old first baseman (pictured above) erupted over the past three days, reaching base six times with three home runs and 5 RBIs. He recorded his first multi-homer game on May 21 against the Los Angeles Angels, which made him the youngest Athletics player to record a multi-home run game since Ben Grieve in 1998. Kurtz’s power display has solidified his status as a cornerstone for the Athletics’ future.

The Top 10 Update

No. 1. Roman Anthony – OF, Boston Red Sox

Anthony retains his No. 1 ranking, and it was an easy call. At just 21 years old, the Red Sox outfielder has consistently been at or near the top of the Triple-A leaderboard in barrels, barrel rate, expected slugging percentage, average exit velocity, and chase rate. In other words, he hits the ball hard, he hits the ball hard often, and he won’t expand the zone to do it. He should be in Boston soon.

No. 2. Leo De Vries – SS, San Diego Padres

De Vries continues to impress with his advanced approach at the plate and defensive prowess. His recent performances have solidified his position as one of the top shortstop prospects in the league. Scouts praise his maturity and the polish he brings to the game at such a young age.

No. 3. Jesús Made – SS, Milwaukee Brewers

Made has been a revelation in the Brewers’ system, showcasing a combination of power and speed that’s rare for his age. His performance in Single-A has been stellar, with a slash line of .297/.409/.438 with three home runs and 15 stolen bases. His rapid ascent reflects his high ceiling and potential to impact the major leagues in the near future.

No. 4. Sebastian Walcott – SS, Texas Rangers

His combination of size, athleticism, and power at the shortstop position makes him a standout prospect. At just 19 years old and holding his own in Double-A with players many years older than him, his ceiling is incredibly high.

No. 5. Nick Kurtz – 1B, Oakland Athletics

As stated above, Kurtz has made an immediate impact at the major league level, showcasing his power-hitting abilities. His ascent to the majors and immediate success underscore his readiness and potential.

No. 6 Walker Jenkins (OF, MIN)

Jenkins continues to be hampered by a nagging ankle injury and is expected to be out through at least the rest of May. His blend of contact hitting and power keeps him firmly in the top five, however.

No. 7 Luke Keaschall (2B, MIN)

Keaschall made his MLB debut in April and has since surpassed Emmanuel Rodriguez as the Twins’ No. 2 prospect, reflecting his rapid development.

No. 8. Jordan Lawlar – SS, Arizona Diamondbacks

Lawlar has been called up to the major leagues, where he has continued to impress with his hitting and defensive skills. His performance in Triple-A, where he batted .336 with six home runs, earned him the promotion. The Diamondbacks see him as a key piece of their future infield.

No. 9. Matt Shaw – 2B/3B, Chicago Cubs

Shaw has been called back up to the major leagues and has five hits and three doubles in his first three games back. His improved bat speed and swing mechanics have translated well, and he has provided much-needed offense at third base. His adjustments and performance suggest a promising future in Chicago.

No. 10. Samuel Basallo – C/1B, Baltimore Orioles

Basallo is widely regarded as the best catching prospect in baseball. His combination of power and defensive skills behind the plate make him a standout in the Orioles’ system. He is expected to make his major league debut in the near future, adding to Baltimore’s young and talented roster.

1. Matt Shaw – Chicago Cubs (AAA)

The Cubs’ top prospect (pictured above) is heading back to the majors after posting a monster week for Triple-A Iowa. He blasted five home runs, drove in seven, stole two bases, and posted a 1.375 OPS while striking out just twice in 26 at-bats. Shaw is still a candidate for Rookie of the Year.

7. Shay Whitcomb – Houston Astros (AAA)

Whitcomb launched four home runs and drove in nine RBIs, maintaining a 1.072 OPS for Triple-A Sugar Land. While he struck out nine times in 23 at-bats, the power surge helped carry his production and reinforce his standing as a depth option for Houston.

8. Rainiel Rodriguez – St. Louis Cardinals (Rookie – FCL)

At just 18 years old, Rodriguez crushed it in Rookie ball. The young catcher went 7-for-16 with four home runs, eight RBIs, and a 1.688 OPS. The Cardinals have a serious breakout candidate brewing in the Florida Complex League.

9. TJ Nichols – Tampa Bay Rays (High-A)
