10. BRAYLON PAYNE - MILWAUKEE BREWERS

Payne was one of the younger players to play a full season in Low A this year. He's got some loud tools and could develop into a high ceiling speed/power CF prospect - key word is could. His tools are as great as his current hit tool risk, having held a devastating 30% K rate across a large sample size in Low A. He made some improvements as the year progressed but he's still more of a project than a sure thing. If he can improve his swing and miss data in A+ and continue to develop his tools, he could gain a bit more attention in 2026. His last 2 base auto sales were both around $10 decreasing his risk from a prospecting standpoint.

9. NATHAN FLEWELLING - TAMPA BAY RAYS

The Rays obviously liked Flewelling enough to have him skip the CPX League and also promote him to A+ prior to his 19th birthday. He's a big kid with enough tools to stick behind the plate. I think the hit/power tool is more projection at this point based on his physicality. While he was young for both levels in 2025 - he showed some contact risk posting a 27% K rate across A & A+. I'm interested to see how he handles a full season in A+ next year - which is where I'm assuming he will be. I also have to understand the pressure that age/level may be having on his hit tool right now. I'll chalk him up as a definite sleeper at $10 even though I like him a lot more at $5 (you can still find some auctions between $5-$10).

8. BLAKE BURKE - MILWAUKEE BREWERS

Burke was promoted to AA late in the 2025 season and went on a HR binge hitting 11 dingers in 159 PA's. The interesting stat is his GB/FB rate, which he nearly cut in half leading to a significant power increase. He's limited defensively and buried behind higher ranking first base prospects in the MIL organization but if he continues to perform like he did in the back half of 2025, he might be at the top of that ladder. There was a slight boost in his average sales toward the end of the season but he's still quite cheap making him another solid sleeper candidate. Just keep an eye on the swing and miss data.

7. BILLY AMICK - MINNESOTA TWINS

Amick showed off a stellar hit tool in 2025 hitting .310 across 244 A+ PA's. He also did this while battling a shoulder injury for the majority of the 2025 season. Amick has yet to get to his big raw power in professional baseball but it's hard to tell if the shoulder injury had an impact on his power output. 2026 will be a big year for Amick in AA where he will be tested by upper level arms and have prospectors drooling to see if he can get back to the power he showed off at Tennessee. Although he's old and not age level appropriate, you can find plenty of his cards on eBay for under $5 making him a solid sleeper.

6.JARED THOMAS - COLORADO ROCKIES

Thomas had a big year in A+ across a large sample size and was promoted to AA. His production numbers tanked a bit (which is to be expected) but his K% reached an alarming rate over a near 200 PA sample size. I'm hoping as he adjusts to the level he can cut down on his strikeouts which will help improve his production numbers. He's not trending towards a higher risk offensive sleeper while splitting reps almost down the middle between LF and CF in AA.
