Kosport Magazine’s Take:
The MLB season is in full swing and there are a few rising stars that should not go unnoticed. This week, we highlight three hitters that have been making their mark in the league. These players may not be household names yet, but they certainly have the potential to be. Whether you’re in a shallow or deep league, be sure to keep an eye on these names as they continue to impress on the field.
Nolan Gorman, 2B, St. Louis Cardinals (28.3% rostered):
Despite being perceived as a platoon player, Gorman has been getting everyday treatment from the Cardinals. He has been starting consistently, including in the cleanup spot ahead of Nolan Arenado. Gorman’s power potential has never been in question, but he has also been showing great discipline at the plate. In fact, since his debut in 2022, he has one of the highest barrel rates in the league. With the scarcity of productive second basemen, Gorman should be owned in all leagues.
Heliot Ramos, OF, San Francisco Giants (20.7% rostered):
Don’t let the unfamiliar name fool you, Ramos is a highly touted prospect with a newly improved plate approach. Despite struggling in his previous stints in the majors, Ramos has been making noise this season with his power potential and selectivity at the plate. He has been batting leadoff against right-handers and second against lefties, making him an integral part of the Giants’ lineup. Keep an eye on him as he continues to adjust and develop in the majors.
Ryan Mountcastle, 1B, Baltimore Orioles (50.9% rostered):
Mountcastle may already be owned in most leagues, but if he’s available in yours, make sure to snatch him up. He has been displaying personal bests in terms of chase, whiff, and hard-hit rates. Mountcastle has also solidified his spot in the Orioles’ potent young lineup, batting third and ahead of Ryan O’Hearn. With his current form, he should be owned in all leagues.
Kosport Magazine’s Take:
For deeper leagues, we recommend keeping an eye on Drew Thorpe, SP for the Chicago White Sox (3.5% rostered). The second-round draftee’s stock has been rising and he has been listed as Kiley McDaniel’s top prospect for the team. With his impressive stats and potential to make an impact in the league, Thorpe is worth monitoring and potentially adding to your roster.
these hitters have been making waves in the MLB and they should not be overlooked. Whether they’re currently sitting on your waivers or already on your team, make sure to keep an eye on their progress as the season continues. Don’t miss the opportunity to have these rising stars on your fantasy team.Kosport Magazine –
Are You Ready for the Next Big MLB Debuts?
Kosport Magazine is excited to bring you the latest news and updates on upcoming major league baseball debuts. From top prospects to surprise rookies, we’ve got you covered on who to watch out for in the big leagues.
This season, there have been some major trades that have sent top prospects to new teams and fast-tracked their path to the majors. One of the most notable trades involved the New York Yankees and the San Diego Padres, with young star Juan Soto being traded in December and soon after, Dylan Cease of the Padres being traded to the Chicago White Sox.
One player who has been making waves in the minor leagues is right-hander Thorpe, who is set to make his MLB debut on Tuesday against the Seattle Mariners at T-Mobile Park. Thorpe has been dominant in Double-A, with a 1.35 ERA and an 0.87 WHIP. He has demonstrated his ability to perform well against both left and right-handed hitters, making him a valuable addition to any team. With another 90-100 innings expected from Thorpe, we believe he has the potential to maintain a strong ERA and walk rate.
But Thorpe isn’t the only exciting prospect to make his debut this season. Hurston Waldrep of the Atlanta Braves, a member of the 2023 draft class, impressed in his debut despite a rocky final line. With a solid splitter and impressive stats in the minors, we have high hopes for Waldrep’s future in the majors.
Another player to keep an eye on is Noelvi Marte of the Cincinnati Reds. Serving an 80-game suspension for a PED violation, Marte will soon be eligible for activation and could prove to be a valuable addition to the Reds’ roster.
Now, let’s take a look at some other players who may be on the verge of a breakout. Bryan Woo of the Seattle Mariners has been on fire in his last four starts, with a 1.13 ERA and no walks. With upcoming starts against the White Sox and Texas Rangers, Woo has the potential to continue his dominance at home.
As for other players, such as Anthony Rizzo, Taylor Ward, Abraham Toro, Cedric Mullins, and Jordan Montgomery, they may not be worth the roster spot at the moment and can be cut in favor of other players.
Kosport Magazine hopes you’re just as excited as we are to see these talented players make their debut in the big leagues. Stay tuned for more updates on the next big MLB debuts.
