Made

Pump the brakes. There was rampant social media speculation that Made, the consensus top-overall prospect in baseball, was heading to Triple-A Nashville, but that doesn’t appear to be the case. The 19-year-old prodigy has put together a remarkable campaign, slashing .277/.353/.452 with six homers and 18 steals in 201 plate appearances over 42 games for Double-A Biloxi as the youngest hitter in the entire Southern League. He’s checked every conceivable box since making his stateside debut last year and his rapid trajectory towards Milwaukee puts him on pace to potentially reach the majors by the end of the year.

The top dynasty prospect left in the entire minors with Konnor Griffin reaching the big leagues earlier this month, Made is hitting .333 (15-for-45) with five extra-base hits and six steals through 11 games as the youngest hitter in the entire Southern League by nearly two years. The 18-year-old prodigy also has more walks (10) than strikeouts (nine) this season. He possesses the complete five-category fantasy monster starter kit and doesn’t seem to have any weaknesses at this stage of his development. It sounds hyperbolic, but he simply continues to exceed even the most wildly optimistic expectations as he rockets towards Milwaukee.

At just 18 years old, Made is the youngest position player at the Double-A level by a country mile. He’s doing much more than just holding his own against older competition, batting .375 (12-for-32) with one homer and three steals in seven games. His all-around offensive ability and athleticism make it easy to forecast an elite power-speed combination fantasy contributor if he comes remotely close to reaching his ceiling. There simply aren’t any weaknesses in his profile, and he continues rocketing towards Milwaukee at a rapid pace.

Made is one of the most compelling prospects in the fantasy landscape after last year’s remarkable stateside debut where he batted .285/.379/.413 with six homers and 47 thefts in 115 games across three levels to finish the year as one of the youngest hitters in Double-A. The 18-year-old prodigy’s two hits carried exit velocities of 98 and 100.8 mph, respectively, showcasing his ability to generate consistent hard contact despite his 5-foot-8 frame. He has a chance to be a franchise-altering talent for Milwaukee and projects as an extremely impactful all-around fantasy contributor down the road.

The Shuckers are going to the playoffs, so he’ll get to participate in those, too. The 18-year-old Made, considering one of the game’s very best prospects, hit .343/.415/.500 in 27 games with High-A Wisconsin after coming in at .267/.373/.388 in 82 games in Low-A.

Made is on track to finish the season alongside Pirates sensation Konnor Griffin as the top prospects in the dynasty landscape. The 18-year-old prodigy has somehow managed to outperform expectations this season in his stateside debut, slashing .267/.373/.388 with four homers and 40 steals in 83 games for Low-A Carolina. He’s flashed top-of-the-scale exit velocities relative to his age and level and should continue adding over-the-fence-pop as he matures. It’s easy to envision Made blossoming into a five-category impact fantasy contributor in a couple years, if not sooner.

Wetherholt — who was promoted to Triple-A Memphis earlier this week — headlines a senior circuit lineup that includes rising fantasy sensation Konnor Griffin, who has emerged as arguably the top prospect in the entire dynasty landscape during his professional debut. It also features Dodgers burgeoning sluggers Zyhir Hope and Josue De Paula in addition to Brewers phenom Jesús Made, who has cemented his status as a top-10 dynasty prospect in the game. Here’s the full lineup: Wetherholt (DH), Griffin (SS), Owen Caissie (RF), Charlie Condon (1B), Hope (CF), Made (2B), De Paula (LF), LuJames Groover (3B), Joe Mack (C) and JR Ritchie (P).

Peña has blossomed into one of the top prospects in the dynasty landscape over the last few months, slashing a sublime .307/.365/.497 with six home runs and 32 stolen bases over 46 games as one of the youngest players in the entire Carolina League. The 18-year-old prodigy has ascended to top-10 range prospect for dynasty purposes — along with organization mate Jesús Made — based entirely on his power/speed combination and production for his age and level. He’s checked every metaphorical box in his extremely impressive stateside debut.

Made connected for his third round-tripper and picked up his seventh theft of the season as part of a three-hit effort. The soon-to-be 18-year-old prodigy is off to a sublime start to his professional debut, slashing .323/.413/.538 through 16 games for Low-A Carolina. He’s quickly establishing himself as one of the top prospects in the dynasty landscape.

Among the most intriguing prospects in the dynasty landscape, Made has made some serious early-season noise in his stateside debut as a 17-year-old switch-hitting shortstop in the Carolina League. He capped off another multi-hit performance with an opposite-field blast to left field — his second round-tripper of the season — and holds an .858 OPS through 14 games. He’s a borderline top-10 prospect for dynasty purposes with legitimate superstar potential.
