Top Minor League Prospects and Hot Starts to Keep an Eye on for Fantasy Baseball Managers

Yahoo Fantasy analyst Andy Behrens has identified some top prospects and hot starts from the minors that fantasy baseball managers should keep an eye on. With the floodgates open for call-ups, Behrens highlights a few young players who could make an impact in the majors soon.

One player who has already received the call is Andy Pages of the Dodgers. Pages, a Cuban outfielder, had an impressive spring and has continued to shine in the minors with a .371 batting average and 5 home runs. With a track record of power hitting, Pages could provide a boost to fantasy teams in need of a power bat.

Another player to watch is Joey Loperfido, who has been on fire at AAA with 10 home runs in his first 14 games. Loperfido’s versatility in playing multiple positions makes him a valuable asset for fantasy managers looking for a hot hitter to add to their roster.

Heston Kjerstad of the Norfolk Tides is also making a strong case for a call-up with his impressive performance in the International League. Leading in multiple hitting categories, Kjerstad’s return to the majors could be a game-changer for fantasy teams in need of offensive production.

On the pitching side, Paul Skenes has been turning heads with his dominant performance in the minors. The former LSU star has struck out 19 batters in his first nine innings while maintaining a low pitch count. With his talent and potential for a full workload, Skenes is a pitcher to keep an eye on for fantasy managers in need of pitching help.

Overall, Behrens’ insights provide valuable information for fantasy baseball managers looking to stay ahead of the curve and capitalize on upcoming call-ups and hot starts from the minors. Keep an eye on these players as they could make a significant impact on fantasy teams in the near future.
