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 outfielder Eduardo Quintero is now inside the Top 30
- After an eye-opening year in the California League, Quintero (pictured above) was named California League MVP and Dodgers Minor League Player of the Year for 2025, largely on the strength of a .293/.415/.508 slash with 19 HR, 47 SB, 101 runs scored, and a 153 wRC+ across two levels.
- During the season he stood out with multiple Player of the Week honors and routinely dominated Single-A pitching before a promotion to High-A.
- Analytical data underscores his offensive profile: Quintero paced the Single-A level with a 174 wRC+, a .472 wOBA, and a 1.027 OPS over a span, leading all Single-A hitters in key rate stats while also showcasing plus speed with 33 steals in just 52 games.
Quintero’s blend of hit tool, on-base skills, power, and speed has been rare even for his age, and the Dodgers’ accolades plus strong advanced metrics have pushed him into elite prospect conversation.
Another Dodgers outfielder, Mike Sirota jumps up to No. 61 this week
- In 2025, Sirota posted monster offensive numbers, leading qualified minor league hitters with an eye-popping OPS north of 1.000 and dominating both Low-A and High-A levels with consistent power and on-base skills.
- Across his 2025 campaign he combined to slash roughly .333/.452/.616 in 59 games between Low-A and High-A before an injury (knee) curtailed his season — evidence of how impactful he’d been when healthy.
- Scouting reports praise his disciplined approach, bat speed, and potential 20-home-run power once fully developed, even as his age relative to level tempers expectations somewhat.
Rays SP Brody Hopkins breaks into the Top 75 after stellar season
- Across 2025, Hopkins posted an impressive 2.72 ERA over 116 innings at Double-A with 141 strikeouts, showcasing a plus fastball/curveball combination and emerging secondary stuff that projects well for future MLB rotation roles.
- His standing in organizational lists — including All-Star Futures Game selection and system-leader accolades — reflects his ascent as one of Tampa Bay’s top pitching prospects.
- Recent community prospect voting lists have also highlighted Hopkins as a contender for top spots, further validating the buzz around his performance.
Other notable updates
Troy Johnston, 1B, Rockies: Though an older prospect, Johnston has soared up to No. 325 after the Rockies claimed him off waivers from the Marlins. In his 2025 big-league cup of coffee, he slashed .277/.331/.420 with four home runs in 121 plate appearances, showing solid contact skills and a 40.7% hard-hit rate in a limited sample. While Johnston may not be a Top 100 prospect, his .281/.367/.458 career triple-slash line and defensive versatility (1B + corner outfield) gives him a chance to contribute in 2026. The Rockies only have one other first baseman (righty Blaine Crim) on the roster, so Johnston could platoon with him.
Connor Prielipp, SP/RP, Twins: Prielipp jumps up to No. 160 thanks to his strikeout and walk profiles in 2025. In Double-A and Triple-A, he put up a 3.65 ERA with 73 strikeouts, and strong 7% walk rate over 61.2 innings. Scouts praise his left-handed profile and potential multi-role use — from back-of-rotation starter to high-leverage bullpen option — depending on health and development in 2026.
Charles Davalan, OF, Dodgers: Davalan has been flying up the rankings and lands inside the Top 175 this week. While his explosion came earlier in 2025 as a draft prospect, his rapid progression and draft stock make him a compelling name for future rankings. Selected 41st overall by the Dodgers, he brings bat-to-ball strength and athleticism to the system. His well-rounded offensive profile and competitive instincts project well in pro ball, so he figures to climb as he accumulates pro at-bats.
Alex Freeland, SS, Dodgers: Freeland slips 38 spots and out of the Top 100 after his first MLB stint. He had just a 190/.292/.310 slash line in his first 97 plate appearances before being optioned back to Triple-A.

Big update coming next week with international signings added to the rankings
International Signing Day officially opened on Jan. 15, with clubs across baseball beginning to finalize agreements with top amateur talent from Latin America and the Caribbean. While many of these players are years away from the major leagues, international free agency often produces impact prospects, and even some superstars (Ronald Acuna Jr., Vladimir Guerrero Jr., Jose Ramirez). As signing details become official and scouting information continues to surface, these newly-signed players will be evaluated and incorporated into next week’s Top 700 rankings update, where they’ll begin their climb.
