Hi, my name is Jack Thaler and I hoped you enjoyed last week's edition of My Fantasy Baseball Experience. This week I will be doing a special edition and looking ahead and talking about prospects who are the future of fantasy baseball.
Players who are still in the minor leagues obviously don’t matter towards most leagues but in keeper leagues they do matter so today’s lesson will be directed towards people in keeper leagues. Obviously, most of the prospects in the top 25 will be pretty good so today I will be talking about prospects who I think are going to be good who are not in the top 25 but also giving my 5 favorite players in the top 25 and their top tools.

Now that I have given you my 5 favorite prospects out of the top 25, I will be talking about 5 prospects outside of the top 25 who I think are going to be good. Starting with the number 38 overall prospect Noah Schultz, a left-handed pitcher for the White Sox. Schultz was a guy being compared to Randy Johnson and had two incredible seasons in the minors before hitting a rough patch this year causing him to be pushed out of the top 25. I still think Schultz should be a top 25 prospect and I still think he is going to be a great pitcher in the majors, but I think he just needs a little time to develop before that can happen.
The next player is the number 39 overall prospect in shortstop Aiva Arquette. Arquette was the number 7 overall pick of the 2025 draft. He has some elite tools, and the Marlins are really good at player development and Arquette fits the bill of players that the Marlins have developed in the past so I think with a little development Arquette will be a star.
Up next is the number 50 overall prospect in second baseman Christian Moore. Moore has never hit badly in the minors but when in the majors he hit into a slump. With some development I think his minor league success will translate to the majors. The number 54 overall prospect in catcher Eduardo Tait is up next. He has elite power and was just traded for Jhoan Duran which shows how the Twins think of him, and he has also been putting up great year after great year which further shows his talent.
The final player is the number 60 overall prospect in outfielder Charlie Condon. Condon has elite hitting skills but has struggled so far in the minors resulting in Condon being pushed out of the top 25. Condon was clearly the best player in the 2024 draft but went third showing how he has been underrated from the very start. I think with some development Condon will be elite in the major leagues.
Sadly, this is my last edition of the summer. I want to wish you all luck with your fantasy teams as the season winds down and I just wanted to thank all the people who joined me this summer and I will hopefully be back next year.
