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.
Nationals’ Eli Willits jumps into the Top 15 after successful promotion
The Nationals didn’t want to wait around, pushing their 18-year-old shortstop phenom up to High-A. How did the youngest player in the South Atlantic League respond? By turning his debut week into an absolute clinic. Willits has displayed jaw-dropping, elite bat-to-ball skill and highly advanced zone awareness for his age, already collecting multiple multi-hit performances while maintaining a pristine walk-to-strikeout ratio. His 60-grade speed and projectable 50-grade power from both sides of the plate have him looking like a foundational dynasty pillar.
Theo Gillen of Rays up inside the Top 20 after making the jump to AA
Gillen (pictured above) has had an explosive summer surge, reaching its apex this week when the Rays aggressively pushed him up to Double-A. The 20-year-old lefty bat absolutely forced their hand by obliterating High-A pitching over the last month with an optimized swing path. Armed with an elite 60-grade hit tool and highly dynamic 60-grade speed, Gillen is moving at an elite developmental pace. He’s no longer just a high-upside name—he is a top-20 dynasty asset.
Cubs’ Josiah Hartshorn soars into the Top 40 after promotion to High-A
Since his promotion to High-A South Bend, Hartshorn has kept his foot firmly on the gas pedal. The 19-year-old switch-hitter is flashing monstrous analytical metrics, showing a rare blend of premium 55-grade game power and highly disciplined zone control from both sides of the plate. He is generating immense line-drive authority and avoiding the standard punch-out traps that catch most teenagers in the upper minors. He is a high-conviction buy.
Charlie Condon of Rockies mashing his way closer to the Top 50
He is slashing an incredible .342/.400/.697 in June alone, crushing seven home runs over that span—including a majestic 407-foot blast off a rehabbing Cristian Javier. Even more encouraging for his long-term fantasy floor is his dramatically improved plate discipline, managing a near-even 17:14 strikeout-to-walk ratio over his last few weeks. The 70-grade raw power is translating perfectly against advanced pitching, making him an elite stash ahead of a potential post-deadline call-up to Coors Field.
Cooper Ingle of Guardians nears the Top 75, receives a callup to the majors
The Guardians shook up the catching landscape by calling up the 24-year-old left-handed hitting backstop. Ingle has been an absolute on-base machine in the upper minors, carrying a beautiful 55-grade hit tool that relies on microscopic chase rates and exceptional barrel control. While he doesn’t possess massive over-the-fence power, his ability to hit for a high average and log heavy OBP percentages makes him a priority add in all two-catcher formats and deeper dynasty setups looking for immediate plate appearances.
