SS/3B Jesus Made – Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee’s 18-year-old prospect has quickly made a name for himself. He was a standout during the 2024 Dominican Summer League, slashing .331/.458/.554 with six home runs, 28 RBI, and 28 stolen bases. This season, at A Carolina, Made is slashing .267/.373/.388 with four home runs, 46 RBI, and 40 stolen bases. The Brewers’ top prospect’s plate discipline separates him from his peers, and this led to one of the highest contact rates in the minors. A quick rise through the minors can have him join Milwaukee by the time he’s 20 years old.

1B/C Josue Briceno – Detroit Tigers

The left-handed hitting Briceno is a season or two away from becoming one of the best power-hitting prospects to join Detroit. This season, Briceno has reached a career high in plate appearances (308) and is slashing .279/.396/.550 with 17 home runs, 66 RBI, and one stolen base. At 6’4”, 200lbs, he’s destined for a first base or DH role. Fantasy baseball players need to monitor Josue Briceno’s movement immediately, as his power-hitting bat will be a must-have roster addition soon.

RHP Jaxon Wiggins – Chicago Cubs

Jaxon Wiggins is the sole reason the Chicago Cubs didn’t make a huge splash during last week’s trade deadline. The right-handed pitcher would’ve been a must-have in any mega deal, and rightfully so. At 6’6”, 225lbs, Wiggins possesses the ideal size for a front-line starting pitcher. His fastball sits in the high-90s while touching triple digits frequently. He accompanies his blazing fastball with an elite changeup, and his slider can become one of the best breaking pitches in MLB. This season, between A+ and AA, Wiggins has a 2.02 ERA, 0.97 WHIP, and 79 strikeouts in 62.1 innings. Wiggins is destined to join Shota Imanaga and Cade Horton atop Chicago’s starting rotation by next season.

LHP Robby Snelling – Miami Marlins

Snelling is a crafty left-handed pitcher who uses his mid-90s fastball to generate swings and misses high in the zone. His best secondary pitch is his slider, which he often uses during at-bats. After making 14 starts for AA Pensacola, Miami moved the lefty to AAA Jacksonville, where he’s dominated through four starts. In 21.2 innings, Snelling has a 2.08 ERA, 0.96 WHIP, and 23 strikeouts. His 108 strikeouts (94 innings) between AA and AAA see him as one of the top strikeout leaders in Miami’s minor league system. Fantasy baseball players should be ready to add Snelling to their fantasy teams during the 2026 season.
