Jesse discusses five pitching and hitting prospects in Triple-A that could make a late-season impact in fantasy leagues, including Connor Phillips, Kyle Harrison, Ben Brown, Ryan Pepiot, Joey Cantillo, Noelvi Marte, Masyn Winn, Ceddanne Rafaela, Darell Hernaiz, and Everson Pereira.
Geoff Pontes of Baseball America joins Jesse to talk the top MLB draft prospects for fantasy, including in-depth discussions on college arms (Chase Dollander, Rhett Lowder, Hursten Waldrep, etc.), college bats (Matt Shaw, Tommy Troy, Chase Davis, Brayden Taylor, Nolan Schanuel, Brock Wilken, Enrique Bradfield, Yohandy Morales, etc.), prep bats (Walker Jenkins, Max Clark, Arjun Nimmala, Colin Houck, Aidan Miller, Walker Martin, etc.), and more!
Jesse begins draft coverage by debating the top three players in this draft class (Dylan Crews, Wyatt Langford, and Paul Skenes) and where they likely will fall in the Top-500 Dynasty Prospects in the next update in mid July.
Jesse revisits the Top-500 Dynasty Prospects nearly three weeks later and discusses whether Elly De La Cruz or Jackson Holliday is the new No. 1 overall dynasty prospect, whether to be concerned about Jackson Chourio or Jordan Lawlar, and whether Bryce Miller has jumped near the top of the pitching prospects, among many more!
Jesse talks MLB risers on the updated Top-500 Dynasty Rankings, including Jarred Kelenic, Matt Chapman, Nolan Gorman, Yandy Diaz, and Jorge Mateo, and debates whether Spencer Strider or Shane McClanahan is the new No. 1 dynasty starting pitcher.
Prior to his call up, Jesse compares Mason Miller to other top arms in Triple-A, including Kyle Harrison, Brandon Pfaadt, Gavin Stone, and Tanner Bibee, and argues that Miller may be the best of the bunch.
Jesse laments the injury to Oneil Cruz and how to handle him in redraft and dynasty formats. Then, Jesse dives into more early-season MiLB performances, including three standout Low-A arms, five Triple-A arms on the cusp, and four intriguing Triple-A bats that could make a MLB impact soon.
Jesse talks early takeaways from the first week of the MLB and MiLB seasons, including Jesús Luzardo, Pablo López, Jorge Mateo, Brendan Donovan, Taj Bradley, Matthew Liberatore, Brett Baty, and Tyler Soderstrom, among others. Plus, Jesse notes the four most interesting minor-league assignments
Jesse discusses some notable prospect promotions and starting pitching, including how to approach the position in dynasty, pitchers to target/avoid, pitching prospects breaking camp in the rotation, and a handful of the top pitching prospects in baseball.
Jesse dives into the deep outfield position, discussing the exciting top of the position that includes seven first-round picks, high-end players poised for a further breakout, risky veterans, pop-up players, and post-hype sleepers to target/avoid, and a handful of the top prospects at the position in the short- and long-term.
The closer expert himself, Greg Jewett of Reliever Recon and The Athletic, joins Jesse to discuss how to approach relievers this year, situations to target and avoid, and late-round sleeper options, and predicts who rises to the top of several undecided and crowded bullpens.
Jesse talks shortstops, including the position's depth and why it is advisable to wait on the position in redraft and dynasty formats, how to approach Fernando Tatis Jr. this year, the values to be found in veterans outside the first five rounds (top 75), and a handful of high-upside prospects.
Jesse discusses the top-heavy third base position, including why you should target a 3B early in redraft formats, how the top options rival any other position, the underwhelming mid-tier options, and the up-and-coming exciting young prospects.
Jesse and Bret review the keystone, debating Jazz Chisholm Jr. versus Ozzie Albies at the top, why Bret hates Vaughn Grissom, what to do with Trevor Story, and how this is the year (right?!) for the long-awaited breakouts of Gavin Lux and Brendan Rodgers.
Jesse talks designated hitters and first basemen, including how to value Shohei Ohtani and Bryce Harper, there is added value in the consistent options at 1B, and which players to target and avoid at the position.
Jesse and Bret discuss the all-of-a-sudden interesting catcher position, including how to approach it in dynasty, who is the top dynasty catcher, why Bret wants all the shares of Cal Raleigh, and how, against Jesse's better judgment, catching prospects are en vogue.
Jesse and Bret dive into this exciting, fantasy-friendly first-year player draft class, including a debate at No. 1, how to value imports from Nippon Professional Baseball, and why bloodlines and comps may be a slippery slope for this class.
