Prospects To Consider for Redraft Leagues (2026)

Single-Season (Redraft) and Draft-and-Hold leagues are going on and prospects always play a part in them. I’ve put together a list of baseball’s minor league players who should appear in the majors this year. Some of these players will have a greater impact than others either because of their talent level or for opportunity reasons. Good luck in all of your drafts this season and let me know if I missed any players in the comments section.

International Signings
These are players who have experience playing overseas and have signed as free agents to play in the major leagues. Often, the outcomes of these players can range from superstar to DFA candidate. They also usually get playing time right away and could contribute to your fantasy teams almost immediately.
Tatsuya Imai, RHP, HOU
Munetaka Murakami, 1B, CWS
Kazuma Okamoto, 3B, TOR
Sung Mun Song, 3B/2B, SD
Lan-Hong Su, RHP, SD

Recent Draft Picks
These are players who were picked in the 2025 MLB Draft and are on the fast track to their major league debut. Keep in mind that most, if not all, of these players may not debut until later in the season, if they even get the call. Their impact may be minimal because of their youth but surprises could happen.
