It’s been a busy few weeks for promotions. Roman Anthony, Jacob Misiorowski, and Kyle Teel are all among the notable prospects who were promoted to the Majors. So, who could be the next potential impact prospect for fantasy baseball this season? Let’s take a look at six names to watch in June.
Dylan Beavers
I’ll start with Orioles outfielder Dylan Beavers, the 33rd overall pick in the 2022 MLB Draft. Beavers has never put up strong power numbers throughout his pro career but is a noteworthy name to watch as we move into the summer.
Through his first 49 contests, Beavers slashed .322/.412/.480 (.892 OPS) with 16 extra-base hits and 16 stolen bases. Steals have been a hallmark in his game, as the 23-year-old picked up 31 over 125 contests last season. However, he can drive the ball with authority at times (5.2 Barrel/PA in Triple-A). Last season, he hit 15 home runs and is on pace for double-digits in 2025.
If the Orioles become sellers this summer — and at 26-39 as of June 11, that’s very likely — Beavers may very well get a look come August or September. Should that happen, Beavers could be a sneaky source for stolen bases.
Cade Cavalli
The Nationals were without Cade Cavalli for much if 2023-24 thanks to Tommy John surgery recovery. While he made several rehab outings last season, the former Oklahoma Sooner didn’t get back on the mound in earnest until this season.
It’s been a good run for Cavalli in Triple-A, as the 26-year-old struck out 41 over 37.1 IP across his first nine starts. And, the velocity is just fine. Cavalli’s routinely sat in the 96-97 MPH range, hitting as high as 99 MPH.
Washington can afford to be cautious with Cavalli. However, it’ll be interesting to see whether the Nats want to push him to the Majors — even if his innings will be heavily limited — at some point this year.
Bubba Chandler
With Roman Anthony — and now, Jacob Misiorowski, recently promoted by the Brewers — now in the Majors, perhaps the most notable prospect who could impact at the big level left in the Minors is Bubba Chandler.
Chandler, to be blunt, has been dominant in Triple-A. The Pirates prospect struck out 70 over 12 starts and heavily controlled 50.2 IP this season. Chandler has a chance to top the IL over the next few weeks, with both Misiorowski and Ian Seymour now in the Majors.
The 22-year-old’s fastball is a plus-plus pitch; Chandler, as of June 11, had a 39% Whiff% on his four-seamer. Aside from premium induced action (18.3” IVB), it’s just an overwhelming offering that regularly hits the triple-digits.
He doesn’t have much left — if anything — to prove in the Minors.
Brady House
Despite a near-20-home-run season last season, Brady House struck out a lot and didn’t post an OPS above .700 last season. But after a strong 2025, House, who’s spent the majority of his pro career at third, may very well be the long-awaited answer at the hot corner for Washington.
His second run at Triple-A has gone significantly better. House, through his first 60 games this season, slashed .298/.350/.517 with 12 home runs and 27 extra-base hits with Rochester.
The Nationals haven’t received stellar production at third base this season. Washington third basemen have hit two home runs this season; although, the team’s cumulative work there put them middle of the pack in OPS (.705).
Something to watch moving forward.
Parker Messick
The Guardians have been a pitching factory over the years and Cleveland has depth currently in the Minors. One of the best pitchers in Triple-A this season is former second-round pick Parker Messick, currently tied for fourth in the International League in strikeouts (69).
A left-hander, Messick’s fastball sits in the mid-90s and ran up as high as 97 MPH this season. He’s not an intimidating presence per se, as he’s listed at 225 pounds and six feet tall. Nor is he orthodox, as the delivery is funky & deceptive.
However, the 24-year-old boasts an impeccable changeup, a mid-80s offering with a 55% Whiff% in Triple-A. If the Guardians need pitching help down the line, Messick could be an option.
Christian Moore
Angels prospect Christian Moore struggled out of the gate this season. The 2024 first-round pick struck out 24 times over 21 games and slashed .219/.356/.356 (.712 OPS) in April with Rocket City (AA). But since the move to the hitter-friendly Pacific Coast League, Moore slugged .539 over his first 19 games with Salt Lake.
Moore, now in Triple-A, has been striking out a good amount (15 over 12 games). However, he is hitting reasonably well, with two home runs and six extra-base hits across his last 12 games.
The Angels have been aggressive when it comes to pushing their high-end prospects over the years. Moore, thanks to a slow start, hasn’t moved as fast as Zach Neto & Nolan Schanuel did. But, it’s certainly not out of the realm of possibility he makes it to the Majors this season.
