Not all Dynasty leagues are the same, of course, but the best ones require you to go deep into the prospect pool, venturing beyond conventional top-100 lists to discover your own hidden gems.

That's the sentiment behind this article, which is intended to highlight some of my favorite prospects still flying well below the radar.

Of course, what it means to be on the radar is a matter of interpretation, and you may be such a prospect sleuth that these names have crossed your path already. Everybody is known to somebody, after all. But more likely, I'm erring the other way, shining a light on prospects who aren't as high-priority as some that are still available in your league. If, for instance, any of the following prospects is unfamiliar to you, then you should probably investigate him first before continuing with the article:

Even if this article is designed for leagues much deeper than yours, it still helps to familiarize yourself with the no-names who could soon become known names. When I first wrote this article in 2021, Spencer Strider, Steven Kwan and Vinnie Pasquantino were among those featured, and while subsequent editions haven't been as fruitful, they may well have served as your first introduction to players like Kyle Manzardo, Edouard Julien, Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Matt Wallner, Parker Meadows, Lazaro Montes, Christian Scott, Drew Thorpe, Ben Rice and Zach Dezenzo.

Michael Arroyo, 2B, Mariners

A-/A+: .282 BA (472 AB), 23 HR, 16 SB, .908 OPS, 72 BB, 133 K

Overlooked in a deep Mariners system, the 19-year-old Arroyo actually leads all teenagers in home runs -- a surprising development for a prospect who's already earned high marks for his hit tool and advanced approach. The strides he's made at such a young age portend big things.

Drake Baldwin, C, Braves

AA/AAA: .274 BA (416 AB), 14 HR, .784 OPS, 67 BB, 81 K

The splash Baldwin made in the Futures Game makes him one of the more recognizable prospects on this list, but his full-season numbers likely won't raise a fire in you. Since moving up to Triple-A, though, the 23-year-old has slashed .300/.420/.475, homering 10 times and walking more (47) than he's struck out (40). The exit velocity readings are even more impressive.

Jackson Baumeister, SP, Rays

A+: 2.57 ERA, 1.17 WHIP, 94 2/3 IP, 47 BB, 126 K

Though they only recently acquired him in the Zach Eflin deal, the Rays have already cleaned up the control issues that constrained Baumeister with the Orioles, allowing his explosive fastball to play to its potential. His past two starts were also his first two of six-plus innings, and between them, he allowed no runs on three hits with one walk compared to 19 strikeouts.

Demetrio Crisantes, 2B, Diamondbacks

Rookie/A-: .348 BA (353 AB), 7 HR, 28 SB, .945 OPS, 54 BB, 63 K

The Red Sox's Kristian Campbell might be my favorite breakout prospect of 2024, and Crisantes profiles as something similar, just a couple years and levels behind. Though he began this season in the Arizona Complex League, most of his damage has come in full-season ball, where his plus hit tool, advanced approach, and burgeoning power have all been on full display.

Moises Chace, SP, Phillies

A+/AA: 3.18 ERA, 1.15 WHIP, 76 1/3 IP, 38 BB, 118 K

Coming over from the Orioles in the Gregory Soto deal, Chace has seemingly found his stride with the Phillies, striking out nearly two batters per inning with a 1.72 ERA in three Double-A starts. Strike-throwing is his biggest shortcoming and not something I can say he's totally mastered, but with a fastball, changeup, and slider that all show good bat-missing characteristics, there's legit upside.

Bo Davidson, OF, Giants

Rookie/A-: .326 BA (212 AB), 11 HR, 7 SB, 1.031 OPS, 37 BB, 63 K

At 22, Davidson is too old to be at Low-A still, but he's dripping with potential as a former college football player and has thoroughly dominated the level after returning from a midseason absence (presumably for injury), batting .446 (37 for 83) with seven homers, four steals and more walks (22) than strikeouts (21).

Payton Eeles, 2B, Twins

A-/A+/AAA: .307 BA (309 AB), 7 HR, 33 SB, .907 OPS, 56 BB, 52 K

Signed out of the independent Atlantic League in May, Eeles is about as no-name as prospects get, but the 24-year-old quickly conquered A-ball and has advanced all the way to Triple-A. Standing only 5-feet-5, Eeles has a hard-nosed style that endears him to baseball lifers, and if his on-base skills earn him regular playing time, he's enough of a base-stealer to matter in Fantasy

Jhostynxon Garcia, OF, Red Sox

A-/A+/AA: .294 BA (377 AB), 23 HR, 16 SB, .918 OPS, 29 BB, 87 K

The prospect known as "The Password" has leveraged his muscular build into premium exit velocities this year, and his knack for putting backspin on the ball makes for easy power. At 21, he still has a tendency to swing at everything, but with a 21 percent strikeout rate across three levels this year, he doesn't miss at a rate I'd consider concerning.

Chen-Wei Lin, SP, Cardinals

A-: 2.76 ERA, 1.05 WHIP, 111 IP, 36 BB, 120 K

Lin stands 6-feet-7 and has reached triple digits with his fastball, making for an imposing presence that has proven to be too much for Low-A hitters. Even with a fledgling secondary arsenal, the 22-year-old has put together a 0.77 ERA, 0.77 WHIP, and 11.6 K/9 in his past six starts, showing better-than-expected strike-throwing ability.

Chase Meidroth, 3B, Red Sox

AAA: .300 BA (390 AB), 7 HR, 12 SB, .866 OPS, 97 BB, 59 K

It's pretty clear what Meidroth brings to the table: an elite batting eye that's yielded a .448 on-base percentage and nearly twice as many walks as strikeouts. If you like what you've seen from Will Wagner, Meidroth could offer something similar, though he faces an increasingly crowded infield situation in Boston.

Tre' Morgan, 1B, Rays

A-/A+/AA: .341 BA (340 AB), 9 HR, 19 SB, .924 OPS, 43 BB, 40 K

An oddity among first base prospects in that he stands out most for his defense, Morgan sure looks like he can hit as well, just perhaps not with the sort of thump we've come to expect at the position. He may have to settle for being a role player, but perhaps the Rays see another Yandy Diaz in him.

Alejandro Rosario, SP, Rangers

A-/A+: 2.24 ERA, 0.93 WHIP, 88 1/3 IP, 13 BB, 129 K

Overlooked in the 2023 draft because of poor numbers at the University of Miami, Rosario found the perfect taker in the Rangers, who encouraged him to elevate his fastball and bring back his splitter, according to Baseball America. And with that, a pitching prospect was born -- one whose 13.1 K/9 is only outdone by his 1.3 BB/9.

Chandler Simpson, OF, Rays

A+/AA: .355 BA, 1 HR, 98 SB, .812 OPS, 43 BB, 39 K

Simpson's skill set is out of place in the modern game, but he knows what he does well and leans into it with a high contact rate and low fly-ball rate. His tremendous range in center field should at least earn him an honest look, and Xavier Edwards' success with the Marlins offers hope that a slash-and-burn type can still deliver for Fantasy.

Travis Sykora, SP, Nationals

A-: 2.17 ERA, 0.83 WHIP, 83 IP, 24 BB, 126 K

Draft enthusiasts may be familiar with Sykora, whose fastball earned some of the highest marks in the 2023 class, but it turns out he's also a strike-throwing machine with a trap-door splitter. He's going against some of the least experience hitters the minors have to offer, but how can you not be enchanted by his 0.78 ERA, 0.58 WHIP and 15.1 K/9 over his past seven starts, particularly when accompanied by a stellar 69 percent strike rate and a positively insane 24 percent swinging-strike rate?

Ian Seymour, SP, Rays

AA/AAA: 2.34 ERA, 0.94 WHIP, 134 1/3 IP, 37 BB, 151 K

Joining Strider, Kwan, and Pasquantino on that vaunted 2021 list was Seymour, who then fell off the map due to Tommy John surgery. But he's back to baffling minor-league hitters with a low-90s fastball that succeeds on deception and ride -- the sort of shape-over-stuff profile that the Rays made famous with Joe Ryan, only Seymour throws left-handed.

Steven Zobac, SP, Royals

A+/AA: 3.49 ERA, 1.08 WHIP, 116 IP, 26 BB, 117 K

Zobac's full-season stat line may not blow you away, but his past eight starts at Double-A have seen him put together a 1.91 ERA, 0.80 WHIP, 11.9 K/9 with a 17 percent swinging-strike rate. Still relatively new to pitching after playing both ways in college, the 23-year-old has remarkable command considering. He induces chases up in the zone with his fastball and out of it with his slider.
