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.
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.
