Jordan Beck Called Up By Rockies | BA Prospect Profiles
The Rockies’ No. 3 prospect was called up by the team on Monday and the outfielder is set to make his MLB debut on Tuesday against the Marlins in Miami.
Beck has hit .307/.405/.594 with five home runs over 25 games with Triple-A Albuquerque, while dramatically cutting his year over year strikeout rate. At the time of his callup, Beck ranked in the top 10 in the Pacific Coast League in a variety of statistics including runs, RBIs and OPS. The former Tennessee star and 2022 supplemental first-round pick provides the Rockies with a plus power bat with strong on-base skills and the athleticism to handle all three outfield positions.

Brewers’ Tyler Black Gets Callup | BA Prospect Profiles
According to a report from Jon Morosi, the Brewers are set to call prospect Tyler Black to the big leagues. Black currently ranks No. 73 on the Top 100 and earns high marks for his hittability and speed, though his ultimate defensive home is questionable and his power might only be fringe-average once he reaches his peak. The 23-year-old lefty swinger has five home runs this season at Triple-A Nashville.

What's a waiver wire draft? Simple, Dylan and Geoff choose from all players with 10% or lower ownership on Fantrax and pick the best players from that group. It's a great exercise to introduce you to ten under-rostered players you should be looking to add.
