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.
Dodgers pitcher Roki Sasaki jumps into the Top 50
Sasaki’s postseason explosion has forced a major uptick in his ranking, now cracking into the Top 50 overall. After a 2025 regular season that featured a 4.46 ERA over 36.1 innings with 28 strikeouts and a 1.43 WHIP. His true breakout came in October: shifted from starter to relief, he famously recorded his first-career saves in the postseason, becoming the first pitcher to record the first two saves of his career in the postseason. In high-leverage games he thrived— posting a sub-1.00 ERA and repeatedly delivering when it mattered most. His fastball readings ramped up (99–101 mph), and his strikeout rate surged. With that dynamism and upside profile (70fb-55sl-70sp-65fv), he now demands serious attention and naturally slips into the Top 50 category.
White Sox pitcher Hagen Smith climbs into the Top 75
Smith earns a substantial bump thanks to his strong showing in the Arizona Fall League (AFL). In five starts he logged 14 innings with a 2.57 ERA, 21 strikeouts, seven hits and six walks. He also was selected for the AFL Fall Stars Game—further evidence of the upward revision of his stock. His 2025 full-season numbers in Double-A included a 3.57 ERA over 75⅔ innings with 108 strikeouts and 42 hits allowed. Given his left-handed profile, premium strikeout ability, and improved command, Smith now slots comfortably into the Top 72 tier in our update.
