As the fantasy baseball season reaches its climax, managers are on the lookout for players who can give their lineups a final boost. While many prospects have already made their debuts, there are still a few who could make a significant impact. Here, we highlight three top-tier prospects who have the potential to shine.
Junior Caminero – 3B, Tampa Bay Rays
Junior Caminero’s journey to the majors has been eventful. After a strong start in 2024, a slump and a quad strain delayed his debut. However, he bounced back impressively, hitting .304 with five home runs in 19 games upon his return to Triple-A. Now back in the majors, Caminero has shown flashes of his potential, including a hit with an exit velocity of 116.3 mph. Fantasy managers should be patient, as his elite power could be a game-changer during the playoffs.
Born in 2003, in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, Junior Caminero grew up with a passion for baseball. He signed with the Cleveland Indians as an international free agent in 2019 before being traded to the Rays. His journey through the minors was marked by impressive performances, including a stint in the Australian Baseball League where he became a fan favourite.
Junior Caminero is currently in Major League Baseball and is on the roster of 53 percent of fantasy baseball teams. In the 2024 season, he has played 2 games in MLB with a batting average of .143, no home runs, no runs batted in, no runs scored, and 1 stolen base, while in Triple-A, he has played 53 games with a batting average of .276, 13 home runs, 34 runs batted in, 33 runs scored, and one stolen base.

Jasson Dominguez – OF, New York Yankees
Jasson Dominguez, also known as “the Martian,” had a promising 2023 that led to a brief stint in the majors. Unfortunately, an elbow injury required Tommy John surgery, delaying his return. Despite a strong start in 2024, a crowded Yankees outfield and another injury have kept him in Triple-A. Dominguez’s power and speed make him a valuable stash for fantasy managers, with the potential to become a star in 2025.
Born in 2003, in Esperanza, Dominican Republic, Jasson Dominguez was named after Yankees first baseman Jason Giambi by his father, a former baseball player and Yankees fan. Dominguez began training for a baseball career at age eight and quickly gained attention for his extraordinary talent, earning the nickname “El Marciano”.
Dominguez is currently at the Triple-A level with Scranton/Wilkes-Barre and is on the roster of 23 percent of fantasy baseball teams. In the 2024 season, he has played 10 games in Double-A with a batting average of .316, four home runs, eight runs batted in, eight runs scored, and one stolen base, and 24 games in Triple-A with a batting average of .280, three home runs, fourteen runs batted in, twelve runs scored, and seven stolen bases.
Jace Jung – Detroit Tigers
Jace Jung, a 2022 draft pick, has quickly ascended through the Tigers’ ranks. Expected to debut on 16 August, Jung has shown consistent power and a keen eye at the plate, boasting a .377 OBP in Triple-A. His versatility could see him playing at third base, providing fantasy managers with a potential power boost. While it may be wise to monitor his initial performance, Jung’s positional flexibility adds to his fantasy value.
Jace Jung was born in 2000, in San Antonio, Texas. He played college baseball at Texas Tech University, where he was named the Big 12 Conference Baseball Player of the Year. His older brother, Josh Jung, also plays professional baseball, making it a family affair.
These prospects have the potential to become key players in fantasy baseball, offering power, speed, and versatility. Keep an eye on them as the season progresses and consider adding them to your roster for a competitive edge.
Jace Jung is at Major League Baseball level, this player is rostered in only 5 percent of leagues. In 2024 AAA, he played 91 games, hitting .257/.377/.454 with 14 home runs, 60 runs batted in, 50 runs, and two stolen bases.
