Could Roman Anthony and Moises Ballesteros Be the Next Game-Changers in Fantasy Baseball?
Around the minors:
There are a plethora of quality shortstop prospects at the lower levels, but Leo De Vries might be the best of them from a fantasy perspective. Despite being just 18 until October, the Padres gave him an assignment with High-A Fort Wayne and he’s picked up nine extra-base hits, three homers and forged an .854 OPS over his 17 games with the TinCaps. A switch-hitter, De Vries has the potential for plus power from both sides of the plate, but it’s his pitch-recognition skills and smooth swing that make his hit tool the best in his skill set. He also has plus speed, and shouldn’t have an issue sticking at shortstop. De Vries is a couple years away, but there’s a great chance he’s a five-category player when he’s ready to roll in the latter part of the decade.
