MiLB Top 10 Prospects - Week Eleven
Tim Kanak brings MLB DW members 15 prospects to watch from all of the minor league action in Week Eleven
Hola Amigos, welcome to my weekly prospect report, now only found with an MLB Data Warehouse subscription! The goal of this column is to give you the most fantasy relevant prospect information throughout the last week all in one place. The format of this weekly prospect report will be a run-though of my top 15-20 prospects of the week with a goal to get at least three prospects at each level (DSL - AAA).
Sorry that we missed week 8-10, but I had spent 2 weeks writing my updated prospect rankings and a third week on vacation.
I will try my best to highlight new prospects every week, rather than repeat names, unless the repeat is so warranted I just can’t help myself.
This should not be seen as a weekly stash rankings, but as a ranking of top performers each week through all levels. My updated top 150 rankings can currently be found on MLB Data Warehouse, and thanks to Jon, we will now have regularly updated fScores throughout the year.
Please subscribe to the Fantasy Aceball podcast and MLB Data Warehouse podcast feeds or on YouTube (@TheTimkanak) and also follow me on X (@fantasyaceball) for more fantasy goodness!
NOTE: Rookie status is determined by 130 ABs, or 50 IPs at the Major League level.
NOTE: All stats from Sunday, June 6th - Saturday, June 13th 2026
T-10 Prospects
1. SS Eli Willits (Nationals) - A+
ETA: 2028
Comp: Bigger Jimmy Rollins type
Prime Skills: Willits is best known at being a very well-rounded player and could be kind of a highschool JJ Wetherholt type (with less power) where he will just kind of be boringly good at every level. We basically have no EV data on Willits publicly available since 2024, so there’s no point to repeat those numbers. Willits absolutely mashes as a righty and is still very strong as a lefty. I saw him post up great ABs against guys like Liam Doyle, Tanner Franklin and Yhoiker Fajardo in the Spring Breakout, he’s the real deal having hit leadoff in that game. The hit and plate approach are top notch for his age and the ball sounds good off his bat considering his age. The 99 XBH+ is only average, but he’s still 18 and he has 27 extra base hits in 51 games now with a ton of improvement in the damage department the last few weeks. Willits had 6 extra base hits this week and 4 bombs after getting the call to high A along with 3 steals.
Hitter Tool Grades:
Hit: 45/60
Plate Approach: 45/60
Power: 35/45
Speed: 60/60
Prospect Rank: 23
2. OF Hector Rodriguez (Reds) - AAA
ETA: Mid 2026
Comp: Wilyer Abreu and Michael Harris II mash (as hitters)
Prime Skills: Rodriguez has fire hydrant build as a 200 pound 5’11” player with a short, quick swing that leads to a plus hit tool though he misses a tad on his swings (lackluster, but improved barrel rates), though the flyball rate is fairly poor. Rodriguez has improved plate approach this season for the second consecutive year and has above average power (107.1 90th percentile EV and 112.7 max EV - last year). He has a potential 20/10, gap hitter profile that can really play up in Cincinnati. He’s good enough against lefties to avoid the strongside platoon risk many lefties face and managed 46 extra base hits in 135 games this season. He has 30 extra base hits in 66 games as of this writing in 2026 and netted 7 extra base hits with 4 homers this week. The steals totals are going down this year, but the hit and power combo is only improving as he’s getting to more barrels this year and is likely major league ready at this point. Watch for a call up soon.
Hitter Tool Grades:
Hit: 55/60
Plate Approach: 50/50
Power: 50/55
Speed: 45/50
Prospect Rank: 79
3. SS George Lombard Jr. (Yankees) - AAA
ETA: September, 2026
Comp: Barry Larkin light
Prime Skills: Lombard has a plus plate approach with an average hit tool and solid, but not great angles, but some extreme athleticism that hasn’t had a chance to play up yet (outside of the speed) since he’s been advanced aggressively age-to-level in a Cole Young-esk way (158 wRC+). Lombard added some muscle to his 6’ 2” frame this offseason, but it hasn’t resulted in much of a power uptick as of yet. He’s a doubles guy right now (122 XBH+), but could grow into more power as he has reportedly hit the ball over 110 mph, though the highest max EV on record is 109.1. So there’s at least slightly above average power in the bat, he has 26 extra base hits in 60 games on the season and after initially struggling at AAA he had a big week with 7 extra base hits, including 2 homers and 2 steals. He just turned 21-years-old a couple weeks ago and is performing admirably at AAA. I still don’t think the Yankees call him up and take his rookie status this year, but they may call him up for a cup of coffee or help down the playoff stretch.
Hitter Tool Grades:
Hit: 40/50
Plate Approach: 55/65
Power: 40/55
Speed: 55/60
Prospect Rank: 57
4. OF Charlie Condon (Rockies) - AAA
ETA: Late 2026
Comp: Less athletic righty Cody Bellinger
Prime Skills: Condon started the year hot, but has since cooled off as pitchers are taking advantage of his complete inability to hit off-speed stuff. He’s been a big time fastball hunter since college with an 84% contact rate and .319/.348/.473 slash against only fastballs and while he can hit a breaker (64% contact rate), he’s absolutely atrocious against off-speed (47% contact and 40% k rate). He has a long body, but keeps his hands in so he doesn’t get exposed inside. He smashes pitches up in the zone and it will be interesting to see if he can keep the strikeout rate down. The contact he is making is with excellent doubles angles as he has a 27% line drive rate on the season and a 49% pull rate. Condon puts up some solid EVs, but he will get exposed in the majors as it’s obvious he can’t hit change ups, splitters or curves (.111/.262/.167) slash against those pitches. Condon had 5 bombs this week (his only extra base hits) and the first thing I did was look to see what pitches he was hitting with 2 of the homers coming of changeups and 1 coming off a breaker! So there is progress!
Hitter Tool Grades:
Hit: 40/45
Plate Approach: 45/45
Power: 50/65
Speed: 40/40
Prospect Rank: 124
5. SP David Shields (Royals) - A+
ETA: Late 2027
Comp: Robby Snelling-ish
Prime Skills: Shields has elite command and despite a lower swinging strike rate, racks up a fair amount of Ks due to his ability to locate on the edges. He’s a big athletic lefty (played high school QB) and has excellent extension. The fastball is a weapon up in the zone and Shields commands it very well, while the slider is a dirty two-plane sweeping breaker that dominates both lefties and righties as his primary finishing pitch. There’s a bit of a Robby Snelling light replica type in his build, arm-slot and arsenal without the added velocity Snelling brought in 2025. The curve is a little slurvy and hits two planes, but is the type of pitch if left in the zone can get mashed. Shields had a fantastic week with 10 strikeouts and 0 walks, but one hit allowed including 1 ER. He’s the top pitcher on the list this week after some dominant hitting performances from some name guys.
Arsenal Grades:
FA (90-94 mph): 45/50
SL (81-83 mph): 60/60
CH (85-87 mph): 40/50
CU (78-81 mph): 40/45
Command: 50/65
Prospect Rank: 165
