We update our fantasy baseball Top 700 Prospect Rankings weekly, and we keep track of the prospects who are rising the quickest to let fantasy baseball owners know about some prospects who are gaining momentum before you even hear about them elsewhere. This list comes out in tandem with the updated Top 700 fantasy baseball prospects list.
A quick look at the Top Three
1. Jhostynxon Garcia, OF, Red Sox — Up 51.0% in the standings
Garcia has been on fire at Triple-A Worcester. He recently registered his sixth three-hit game of the season, showcasing his elite hitting consistency and big-game impact. Why the rise? Garcia’s offensive explosion and week-long domination are a major driver behind his soaring prospect value.
2. Jaxon Wiggins, SPRP, Cubs — Up 43.7% in the standings
Wiggins continues to impress at Double-A Knoxville. Over the past two weeks, he’s produced a 2.25 ERA, maintained a 0.97 WHIP, and compiled a 48:15 K:BB ratio in 36 innings. Control issues—once a concern—are improving, and his strikeout rate is among the highest in the Cubs’ minor league system. These gains underline his readiness and justify his sharp jump in the rankings.
3. Jhonny Level, SS, Giants — Up 31.7% in the standings
Level’s recent performance, fresh off a move to Single-A San Jose, has been eye-catching. On August 6, he blasted a go-ahead solo home run in the game. That standout moment is part of a larger pattern—recent updates note he’s among the Giants’ hottest prospects, accumulating volume and confidence in his bat quickly. His rising tools and quick ascension reflect why he’s climbing the ranks.
Other Notable Performers
- Austin Overn, OF, Orioles (Single-A/Double-A) — The Orioles’ speedster erupted with four home runs in a single series, nine hits, and five stolen bases last week, then capped it with his first two-homer game of the year on Aug. 1. The power-speed combo earned him a quick promotion to Double-A.
- Braden Davis, SPRP, Cardinals (High-A) — Davis fanned 11 over six scoreless innings in his latest start, flashing compact mechanics and a fearless approach that’s driving his fast climb up the rankings.
- Marconi German, SS, Nationals (DSL) — The 17-year-old switch-hitter is slashing .263/.478/.505 with six homers and 17 steals in 33 games, showing rare patience and pop for his age in the DSL.
