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.
Caleb Bonemer of the White Sox jumps up into the Top 25
Bonemer (pictured above) is the clear “April MVP” of the minor leagues. The 20-year-old has been a supernova at High-A Winston-Salem, slashing .284/.396/.750 with a staggering 11 home runs and a 1.146 OPS. He’s currently tied for the minor league home run lead and is posting a 187 wRC+. While his strikeout rate has ticked up, his premium power and ability to stick on the dirt have vaulted him into the elite tier of our rankings.
Noah Schultz of the White Sox jumps up inside the Top 30
The towering lefty continues to look like a future frontline starter. In his most recent outing on April 25, Schultz dismantled the Nationals, striking out 8 batters over 6 innings while showing improved stamina. His wipeout slider remains mostly unhittable, and his climb reflects a high-floor, high-ceiling profile that is nearing “Top 25” status. Through his first three MLB appearances, he maintains a 3.52 ERA and a 10.6 K/9.
Guardians’ Robert Arias jumps inside the Top 150
Arias is making a mockery of Single-A pitching in his full-season debut. The 19-year-old outfielder has carried his elite plate discipline from the complex leagues and added a surprising power surge. Through late April, Arias is slashing .341/.432/.500 with 3 home runs and 11 stolen bases in just 20 games.
Nationals’ Miguel Sime Jr. dominating, jumps inside the Top 200
One of the most aggressive movers this month, Sime Jr. has been “pure gasoline” in the Carolina League. Sitting 98-99 mph with his fastball and touching triple digits, the 18-year-old recently struck out 9 batters in just 3.2 innings. His ability to miss bats with all three offerings (fastball, slider, curve) has scouts convinced the Nationals found a 4th-round steal.
Sean Keys of the Blue Jays slugging his way into the Top 250
Keys is arguably the biggest breakout in the upper minors right now. After a pedestrian 2025 where he hit just .217 at High-A, the 22-year-old has exploded at Double-A New Hampshire. He is currently slashing .321/.436/.705 with 9 home runs in 21 games—a power output that is tied for the lead in the Eastern League.
Rising Stock: Quick Notes
- JR Ritchie (SP, ATL): Moves up to No. 54. In his April 29 start, Ritchie tossed 5.1 innings of two-run ball, striking out four. His command is sharpening, and his velocity is holding steady deep into games, signaling a full return to form.
- Sam Antonacci (2B/3B, CHW): Now at No. 68. Antonacci has been a steady table-setter in the White Sox system, showing an advanced eye and a .380+ OBP. He’s proving to be one of the higher-floor infield prospects in the 2024 class.
- Nathan Flewelling (C, TB): Jumps to No. 83. The Rays’ developmental magic is at work again. Flewelling’s exit velocities have been elite for a 19-year-old catcher, and his defensive growth has been better than anticipated.
- Pedro Ramirez (2B/3B, CHC): Vaults to No. 100. Ramirez finished April with a 1.005 OPS, 8 home runs, and 10 stolen bases. The switch-hitter is a statistical darling with a path to a “super-utility” or better MLB role.
- Blake Burke (1B, MIL): Climbs to No. 119. Burke is currently leading all hitters below Triple-A in home runs. His .289/.372/.789 line in Double-A makes him a candidate for a very fast track to Milwaukee.
