Top Hitting Prospects to Stash in 2025
*The Stash List* tries to balance upside, proximity, health, and opportunity. It focuses on 12-team leagues with standard categories, and the rankings get a weekly refresh.
Some players have already debuted in the majors, flashing their skills and giving managers a reason to pay attention.
1. Roman Anthony, OF – Boston Red Sox
Roman Anthony has been electric in the minors, and honestly, the Red Sox could use a jolt. With a 151 wRC+ and .932 OPS, plus great batted ball data, Anthony looks like the next man up.
He can play all three outfield spots without an error, which just adds to his appeal. If the Red Sox want to turn things around, Anthony might be the spark they need.
2. Samuel Basallo, C – Baltimore Orioles
Samuel Basallo’s been on a mini power binge, smashing three homers in four games. He’s got obvious pop, but his approach at the plate still needs work.
Basallo’s walking more and hitting the ball hard—it’s intriguing. The Orioles might roll the dice on him to juice their lineup for a playoff run.
3. Chase DeLauter, OF – Cleveland Guardians
Chase DeLauter’s numbers don’t jump off the page, but honestly, he’s just had some bad luck with where the ball lands. His average exit velocity and hard-hit rate tell a better story.
The Guardians could use some offense. If DeLauter stays healthy, his upside is tough to ignore.
4. Bryce Eldridge, 1B – San Francisco Giants
Bryce Eldridge has looked good since returning to AAA, and the Giants are desperate at first base. With LaMonte Wade Jr. out and Dominic Smith the only real option, Eldridge’s hot bat could force the issue.
If he keeps this up, a 25+ homer season isn’t out of the question. That’s the kind of upside fantasy managers crave.
5. Brady House, 3B – Washington Nationals
Brady House is scorching hot lately, hitting .395 with four homers in his last ten games. His AAA batted ball data is solid, and even with some flaws, he offers the most upside at third base for Washington.
He can handle almost anything except the changeup. Keep an eye on him—there’s a lot to like.
6. Jordan Lawlar, SS – Arizona Diamondbacks
Jordan Lawlar’s first taste of the majors has been rough, but the talent is still there. His minor league stats are fantastic, and even though he’s struggled, his power and speed haven’t gone anywhere.
Managers might need a little patience, but maybe his third stint will be the charm.
7. Colby Thomas, OF – Athletics
Colby Thomas keeps producing in the minors, and it feels like his call-up is coming soon. He’s been on a tear lately, and that slugging percentage is hard to ignore.
The Athletics are searching for answers, and Thomas might just give them the push they need.
Graduates and Call-Ups
Jac Caglianone – Kansas City Royals
Jac Caglianone debuted for the Royals, showing off serious bat speed and exit velocity. He went hitless his first game, but the tools are there—he could shake things up as Kansas City chases a Wild Card spot.
Kyle Teel – Chicago White Sox
Kyle Teel got the call to the White Sox after tearing up AAA. He brings power and some sneaky speed, which makes him a real asset.
Teel’s even taken reps at first base, which helps, especially with Tim Elko struggling.
Ryan Ritter – Colorado Rockies
Ryan Ritter’s hot streak in the minors earned him a shot with the Rockies. He put up a strong batting average and flashed some power.
It’s tough to keep that going in the majors, but Ritter’s potential is worth watching.
Otto Kemp – Philadelphia Phillies
Otto Kemp came up to fill in for the injured Bryce Harper. He’s shown power in the minors, but his fantasy value really depends on how much he plays.
Kemp’s performance could be crucial for the Phillies while Harper’s out.
Ronny Mauricio – New York Mets
Ronny Mauricio rejoined the Mets after a great run in AAA. He’s got a mix of power and speed, and if he gets regular at-bats, he could make some noise.
Max Muncy – Oakland Athletics
Max Muncy’s return to the A’s hasn’t impressed so far, but his AAA numbers suggest there’s more in the tank. The Athletics need offense badly, so Muncy should get a real chance to prove himself.
Conclusion
Picking the right hitting prospects can really give you a leg up in your fantasy baseball leagues. The players in The Stash List look poised to make some noise in 2025.
Honestly, it’s worth keeping tabs on these guys. Their minor league numbers hint they’re just about ready for the big stage.
