Player Outlook
Brody Hopkins has a chance to be an SP1 during his fantasy prime if he can throw enough strikes. A 6-foot-4 power righty who was part of the Rays' return in the 2024 deadline deal that sent Randy Arozarena to Seattle, Hopkins spent his entire age-23 season at Double-A, where he registered a 2.72 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 141:60 K:BB in 116 innings. His upper-90s fastball and curveball are borderline 70-grade offerings, and he also boasts an above-average cutter and changeup, as well as a seldom-thrown above-average sweeper. Hopkins had a 12.2 percent walk rate on the year but logged a 10.7 percent walk rate while holding opponents to a .497 OPS over his final eight starts. The Rays are one of the top organizations in baseball at maximizing starting pitchers with shaky control, and Hopkins' caliber of stuff, depth of arsenal and innings-eating frame are three more reasons to bet on the profile. He's not on the 40-man roster, but teams don't typically keep arms of this caliber at Triple-A for an entire season, so Hopkins could be up this summer if he keeps the walks in check.

Fantasy News

  • Rays' Brody Hopkins: Nets spring training invite

    Rotowire
    The Rays have extended Hopkins an invitation to big-league camp in spring training, Marc Topkin of the Tampa Bay Times reports. Hopkins was excellent at Double-A Montgomery this past season, collecting a 2.72 ERA and 141:60 K:BB over 116 innings. He has some of the best stuff of any pitching prospect in baseball and could become a legitimate ace if he's able to throw enough strikes. Hopkins isn't going to break camp with the big club, but there's a good chance he will debut at some point in 2026.

  • Rays' Brody Hopkins: Pushing 100 Ks

    Rotowire
    Hopkins has a 3.32 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 99:44 K:BB in 81.1 innings through 18 starts for Double-A Montgomery. Hopkins, a big 6-foot-4 righty with power stuff, is not a finished product, but he flashes frontline upside when he's on. He sits in the mid-90s (touches 99 mph) with his plus fastball and has a wipeout 70-grade slider in the 86-88 mph range. His changeup, cutter and control all lag behind, although he has given up more than one run just twice in his last nine starts.
