A quick look at the Top Three
1. Hector Rodriguez (OF, Cincinnati Reds)
The Verdict: The mid-2026 ETA is calling.
Rodriguez (pictured above) absolutely dismantled Triple-A pitching over the last seven days, proving that his bat is nearly ready for Great American Ball Park. The 22-year-old outfielder put on a pure run-producing clinic, mashing 4 home runs and driving in a massive 14 RBIs. With a stellar 1.377 OPS and 10 hits on the week, Rodriguez is cementing himself as a premium high-impact stash for dynasty managers down the stretch.
2. Josiah Hartshorn (OF, Chicago Cubs)
The Verdict: An 18-year-old prodigy flashing elite tools.
Hartshorn is making standard Single-A look like backyard baseball. The teenage outfielder put together a loud, multi-tool performance, hitting 4 home runs, driving in 11, and showcasing his dynamic speed by swiping a bag. Finishing the week with a 1.615 OPS and 10 hits, Hartshorn is rapidly transforming from a high-upside lottery ticket into a consensus top-flight organizational prospect.
3. Max Belyeu (OF, Colorado Rockies)
The Verdict: Light tower power thriving in High-A.
Belyeu was a one-man wrecking crew over the last week, launching a minor-league-high 5 home runs for the Rockies’ High-A affiliate. The 22-year-old outfielder leveraged his elite raw pop to clear the fences with ease, turning in a fantastic 1.400 OPS along with 7 RBIs and 4 walks. In dynasty leagues, raw power of this magnitude climbing through the Colorado system demands your absolute attention.
The “Zero-ER” Club: Pitching masterclasses
While the offenses were loud, a handful of pitchers completely locked down their opponents, throwing absolute zeros on the scoreboard:
- Jack Mahoney (COL): Mahoney was utterly brilliant for the Rockies’ Double-A affiliate. He fired 5 innings of 1-hit ball, striking out 10 batters without giving up a single walk (0.20 WHIP).
- Henry Lalane (NYY): The Yankees’ 22-year-old southpaw delivered a gem in Single-A, tossing 6 scoreless frames with 9 strikeouts against 2 walks, yielding just 2 hits.
- Khristian Curtis (PIT): Curtis looked advanced at the highest minor league level, spinning 5.2 scoreless innings at Triple-A while racking up 10 strikeouts and a 0.53 WHIP.
- Kade Anderson (SEA): Anderson is becoming a permanent fixture in this section. The Mariners’ left-hander tossed 6 more scoreless frames at Double-A, giving up 3 hits and striking out 6 with zero walks.
Notable risers & major run producers
- Complex League Thunder: Down in the Arizona Complex League (ACL), catcher Reiner Herrera (CLE) was a literal cheat code, posting an unbelievable 2.078 OPS with 4 home runs and 10 RBIs.
- Triple-A Absolute Units: Jared Serna (MIA) had a brief but legendary week, going 5-for-9 with 3 HR and a 2.248 OPS, while Charlie Condon (COL) showed off a rare blend of power and wheels, hitting 2 homers and swiping 3 stolen bases to go with a 1.465 OPS.
- The Double-A Sluggers: Gavin Conticello (ARI) matched Rodriguez for the minor-league lead this week with 14 RBIs alongside 4 home runs. Owen Ayers (CHC) was a pure hit-machine, racking up a massive 17 hits in 29 at-bats (.586 AVG) with 9 RBIs.
- Dynamic Speed Elements: 18-year-old shortstop Eli Willits (WAS) wreaked total havoc in Single-A, pairing 4 home runs with 4 stolen bases and 6 walks. Meanwhile, Alex Ramirez (CHC) weaponized his elite speed in Double-A, swiping a week-high 5 stolen bases.
