Top fantasy baseball prospects: Roman Anthony gets the call, Brady House could be next
A reminder: This is ONLY players who have Rookie of the Year MLB eligibility, and ONLY a look at potential help for 2025. That out of the way, here's a look at the top prospects who can help your fantasy roster this season. 1. Roman Anthony, OF, Boston Red Sox 2025 stats: 53 G, .303/.430/.492, 8 HR, 3 SB, 45 BB, 4349 SO at Triple-A Worcester. has been deserving of this promotion for a while, but perhaps a 497 foot grand slam was what it took for the top prospect in baseball to finally get a chance to face MLB pitching. Prospects fail because baseball is hard and scouting isn't/never will be an exact science, but the skill set Anthony possesses makes it hard for me to imagine he won't at least be a solid player in his first taste of MLB action. The future's even brighter, but fantasy managers should run -- not walk -- to their electronic devices to add Anthony if he's still available. 2. Jordan Lawlar, 2B, Arizona Diamondbacks 2025 stats: 39 G, .326/.405/.580, 8 HR, 14 SB, 22 BB, 52 SO at Triple-A Reno; 8 G .000/.175/.000, 0 SB, 3 BB, 9 SO at Arizona. Lawlar's average has taken a dip since being demoted back to Reno, but he's seen his slugging percentage go up and had another two homers since our last update. Even with how disappointing his run with Arizona was, there's doubt in my mind that he belongs on this list. There's five tools at his disposal, and he offers as much upside as any prospect in the minors -- at least at the higher levels. When the Diamondbacks give him another chance this summer, I'd still be willing to make the roster move. 3. Brady House, INF, Washington Nationals2025 stats: 59 G, .299/.352/.521, 12 HR, 0 SB, 19 BB, 66 SO at Triple-A to the list, Brady. We've been expecting you. House was disappointing in 2024, but the former first-round pick has bounced back nicely in his first full season in Triple-A. There's easy plus power in his right-handed bat, and while he does offer considerable swing-and-miss, there's also some Kris Bryant to the game -- the Cubs version, to be clear -- where he makes enough hard contact to still help in the average category. The approach needs work, but House has a chance to do enough good things to make him worthy of fantasy consideration whenever the Nats call him up. It seems like that could be relatively soon. 4. Jacob Misiorowski, RHP, Milwaukee Brewers 2025 stats: 13 G, 63.1 IP, 2.12 ERA, .175 BAA, 31 BB, 80 SO at Triple-A Nashville. That's more like it. Misiorowski had an awful week in our previous edition, but bounced back nicely in his most recent start. The right-hander fired five scoreless innings with seven strikeouts, and he allowed just a pair of hits. He also walked three, and the control has not been great for Misiorowski as of late; something that the Brewers are certainly aware of as it's considered his biggest flaw. As long as he can throw strikes at an average rate, Misiorowski's stuff is special enough for him to be an elite bat-misser at the highest level. Even at a below-average mark -- a more realistic expectation -- Misiorowski is certainly good enough for fantasy plaudits. 5. Christian Moore, 2B, Los Angeles Angels 2025 stats: 52 G, .270/.367/.388, 3 HR, 8 SB, 30 BB, 63 SO at Double-A Rocket City and Triple-A Salt Lake. It's a little surprising that a first-round pick from the previous year hasn't gotten called up yet based on their recent history, but Moore did receive a promotion to Triple-A, and it has gone well so far, albeit in a small sample. The eighth-overall pick has hit .362/.456/.468 since joining the Bees over 18 games, and he's stolen three bases with three extra-base hits. Moore has plus power and speed in his bat, and while he will strike out, he's also a patient hitter who can draw free passes and put those wheels to work. The Angels have been playing well, but their middle infield still leaves a lot to be desired. I like his chance for fantasy success whenever he does get the call.

Vinny Capra continues his push to make the roster in Brewers' win over Cubs
MESA, Ariz. – The Spring of Vinny continues. Fighting for a roster spot and without any minor-league options remaining, all that Vinny Capra does is keep raking. With a three-run blast in the first inning Tuesday in a 9-7 win against the Chicago Cubs at Sloan Park, Capra moved to the top of the Cactus League home run leaderboard. Now sitting with five homers in 24 at-bats, Capra is batting .323 with a 1.353 OPS BOX SCORE: Brewers 9, Cubs 7 "Swinging the bat great," Brewers manager Pat Murphy said. "He's really put himself in the picture. That's all. That's what happens when you have a great spring, you put yourself in the picture. And he did." Two bench spots, at the very least, remain up for the taking for the Brewers. At this rate, one could very well belong to Capra, who otherwise would have to be designated for assignment or traded, when camp breaks in two weeks. Rhys Hoskins opened the scoring with a two-run blast, his fifth of Cactus League play to briefly take the league lead. Hoskins hammered a fastball from nemesis Justin Steele, who the Brewers struggle to hit in the regular season but not on this day in the Arizona sun. After Manuel Margot singled and Jake Bauers doubled, Capra launched his three-run homer to put the Brewers up, 5-0. Jacob Misiorowski nearly gave it all right back in a first inning that encapsulated all that the Misiorowski experience can be. He walked two, uncorked a wild pitch that scored a runner from second and gave up four runs while being unable to finish the inning. "If you can't throw anything else for a strike," Murphy said of Misiorowski's fastball, "it's going to get hit. Your heater is going to get hit. It can be 104 and it's going to get hit." Misiorowski came back out for the second inning and looked better, finishing the day with four strikeouts and four runs allowed in 1 ⅓ innings. "He wasn't sharp at all," Murphy said. "You're up five and you're feeling the pressure of holding it close. You're facing a good lineup. And he wasn't sharp. He showed his inexperience today." The Brewers weren't done against Steele. Bauers popped a two-run homer on a line to left field to score Oliver Dunn, who had reached via a bunt. Dunn himself then joined the party with the fourth homer of the day, a solo shot to left. Dunn is now batting .379 with a 1.128 OPS this spring. Rule 5 draft pick Connor Thomas allowed two runs (one earned) on two hits and a walk in his one inning of work, while Joel Payamps and Abner Uribe each threw clean innings. With two weeks of games left and minor-league games beginning, the Brewers continued to throw their MLB camp arms in Cactus League games. Cooper Pratt got in the game late at shortstop but did not bat. Kay-Lan Nicasia hit a RBI single off Cubs reliever Porter Hodge. Off-day Wednesday. Brewers at , 3:05 p.m. Thursday: Milwaukee LHP Tyler Alexander vs. Chicago RHP Davis Martin.
