@TheChefMilb I hate this question. Going to have to go Gonzales and Hartshorn. Gonzales has looked good for 400+ PA at A ball and higher and has spring training EV hype. Hartshorn has a 90% contact rate.
Gray is really interesting though. You should try to shoehorn him onto your roster.
English
Josiah Hartshorn (OF/1B, CHC) - The overslot 6th round 2025 pick has had no problem adjusting to A ball. Known for his power, the 19 year old has 7 hits and 9 walks in 27 PA with a HR. He's struck out once and is running an 87.5% contact%. Still only 5% rostered on Fantrax.
Carson Wolf@TheWrigleyWire
Josiah Hartshorn has his first professional HR! The Cubs selected him in the 6th round last year out of high school. He has maybe the biggest power potential in the system.
English
Blue Jays 3B prospect Sean Keys has posted three hits and a HR in three consecutive games for AA New Hampshire. The 22 year old former fourth round pick is only 2% rostered in Fantrax leagues.

Deep league hitting prospect watchlist. Rostered in 5% or less Fantrax leagues.

Pittsburgh C/1B Axiel Plaz (20, A+) has slashed his strikeout rate to 19.4% and has a 9.2 BB% in 294 PA since the beginning of last year. 41% of his hits have gone for extra bases over that span and he's hit 2 HR in 5 games this season. 2% rostered in Fantrax leagues.

19 year old Nationals 2B/SS/3B Ronny Cruz has 5 XBH (2 HR) and 3 SB this season for low-A Wilmington. 2024 third round pick by the Cubs. Acquired in the Soroka deal. There are contact concerns and he isn't very fast but he's young, athletic, and hits the ball hard. 2% rostered.
Fredericksburg Nationals@FXBGNats
Ronny Cruz again! He's got both of our home runs this year, and is a single off the cycle with the FredNats leading 5-3 headed to the 8th... 👀👀👀
English
21 year old Dodgers OF Jaron Elkins has 5 XBH (2 HR) and 7 SB in 6 single-A games this season. Last year he swiped 63 bags(6 CS) at the same level. There are swing and miss concerns but so far he's swinging less often and making more contact than he has in his career. 1% rostered
Dodgers Daily@dodger_daily
Jaron Elkins went deep last night for the first time in 2026. He also hit the 1st pitch of the game for a ringing double, and about 3 pitches into the game, the Tower Buzzers had a 1-0 lead. Dude rang the bell for his team, no doubt about that. To show how vast his tools are, in the same game he hit his first HR, he also stole 3 bases, drew a walk & scored 3 times. When your leadoff hitter has THAT type of game, it makes a HUGE impact! #dodgers Elkins is off to a GREAT start, hitting .350, with an OPS of 1.062. #dodgers #dodgersprospects

@djhogness My guess is the majority of the season. He's young and learning a brand new position. His slash line will normalize with his BABiP and the contact rate is average. His size/potential power and approach are definitely exciting, but I think they'll be cautious with him.
English
@high_upside How long will they keep him there? If he’s not getting challenged,why keep him there?
English
Taitn Gray (1B, TB) - 2025 third round pick is 6' 4" and has walked more than he's struck out in his career. Gray is also 18 and starting his career in full season ball. He's listed as a catcher but has only played 1B this season. 5% rostered (Fantrax).

@djhogness I doubt it . If this were a possibility the organization would have started him there and moved him after he grew out of/proved that he was incapable of playing the position.
English
@high_upside Do you think he’s athletic enough to play a corner OF?

Villar has zero career professional home runs
Jesús Cano@Jesus_Cano88
Kamuel Villar just went deep again off Kelly.
English
Jose Mejia (ARI, 3B) - the 20 year old already has a HR and triple in 3 single-A games this season. He's selective, posting a 16.6 BB% and 11.0 K% in 51 GP since the beginning of last year with a .282/.425/.444 slash line. 91.7 contact% this year after 83.2% in 2025. 0% rostered.
