Top 10 Hitting Prospects to Stash for 2025 Redraft Leagues

Boston, MA – As the 2025 MLB season unfolds, fantasy baseball managers are eyeing the top hitting prospects who could make an impact. The latest edition of the Stash List highlights ten players likely to generate excitement this season. Not only do these prospects hold value in dynasty formats, but identifying players ready to contribute can be a game-changer in redraft leagues.

This week’s list begins with Roman Anthony, an outfielder for the Red Sox, who has generated buzz despite a slow start. Although he’s faced challenges this year, including striking out six times in recent games, his previous performance last season suggests he can bounce back. With the Red Sox aiming for a competitive edge in the AL East, there’s mounting pressure for the team to utilize their best talent, which includes Anthony.

MLB’s top shortstop prospect, Marcelo Mayer, comes in at number two. Mayer showed promise early in the season, hitting homers and driving in runs, with metrics suggesting his performance could improve. However, his future is contingent on the status of the Red Sox’s infield, as established players occupy key positions.

In the third spot, Nick Kurtz, a first baseman for the Athletics, has made a strong case for a quick promotion after showcasing exceptional power in his young career. With his current performance at Triple-A where he’s recorded multiple home runs and high exit velocities, he may not stay in the minors for long.

Following Kurtz is Coby Mayo, the fourth-ranked third baseman having struggled early in the season. Despite a rocky start, he has a history of strong production that suggests he could find his form, and the Orioles may soon call him up.

Next up is Zac Veen, an outfielder for the Rockies, generating buzz with a solid start to the season. His performance at the minors has drawn attention, particularly given the Rockies’ roster dynamics—creating a potential pathway for a promotion if he continues to excel.

The list continues with Diehard Rushing, the Dodgers’ top prospect, who has faced challenges at AAA. However, recent performances indicate recovery is possible, especially if he can reduce his strikeout rate. His history of power suggests he can bring value when the Dodgers finally call him up.

At number seven is Jordan Lawlar, another talented shortstop, who has started strong despite some competition in the Diamondbacks’ lineup. Lawlar’s batting skills and experience suggest he is poised for a major league debut when the opportunity arises.

MLB’s 36th prospect, Emmanuel Rodriguez, also makes the list. Rodriguez brings an intriguing skill set with tremendous power potential and speed, both of which the Twins may want to utilize soon, particularly as their outfield situation evolves.

The ninth spot features Curtis Mead, whose season start has showcased both his struggles and potential. Despite a high number of strikeouts, Mead’s future still looks promising, suggesting he could soon find himself in a fruitful role with the Rays.

Lastly, number ten is Kyle Teel, who continues to impress as a versatile catcher. His performance in recent games showcases his readiness for the next level and makes him a solid stash for those needing depth behind the plate.

These players represent critical investments as the season progresses. With various teams looking to integrate emerging talent, staying ahead of these developments will certainly aid fantasy baseball enthusiasts looking for an edge in their leagues.
