A reminder on how this works: This is a list for the 2024 season only. It is not a list of the top overall prospects, but the players who have the best chance of making a difference in 2024.
Also, it’s only a list of prospects who are currently in the minors/have prospect eligibility. Players who are currently on MLB rosters or have exhausted their rookie status are not considered eligible.
Those caveats out of the way, here’s a look at the top prospects who have a chance to make a fantasy contribution in 2024.

1. Dylan Crews, OF, Washington Nationals
2024 stats: 100 G, .270/.342/.451, 13 HR, 25 SB, 36 BB, 92 SO at Double-A Harrisburg and Triple-A Rochester.
We’ve already seen the first pick of the 2024 MLB Draft up and contributing. Contributing seems like such an understatement for what Paul Skenes has done, for the record. Now, his former LSU teammate and second-overall pick will be joining him in the majors; albeit on different teams. Crews is going to get the call Monday to join the Nationals, and he’s an absolute must-roster. He’s a five-tool player who can contribute in every category, and while there’s certainly a chance he struggles in his first taste of MLB action, the risk is well worth the potential reward. Grab him. It’s way too late in the year to not take this chance.
2. Jasson Dominguez, OF, New York Yankees
2024 stats: 46 G, .313/.372/.492, 8 HR, 14 SB, 16 BB, 42 SO at Low-A Tampa, Double-A Somerset and Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre; 1 G, .000/.000/.000, 0 HR, 0 BB, 3 SO at New York (AL).
There’s no way to prove that Dominguez was specifically motivated by his quick stint with the Yankees last Sunday. But it sure didn’t hurt. The outfielder picked up four hits Tuesday against St. Paul, and proceeded to have four more multi-hit games while picking up a steal in his last four contests. He’s now hitting .305/.360/.453 just 10 days after that slash was .268/.330/.412. Long story short, Dominguez is hot, and the Yankees would be wise to find a way for him to play. Fantasy managers would be just as wise to add him now if they can.
3. Jacob Wilson, SS, Oakland Athletics
2024 stats: 53 G, .433/.473/.668, 7 HR, 2 SB, 14 BB, 15 SO at short-season ACL, Double-A Midland and Triple-A Las Vegas; 1 G, 1.000/.1.000/1.000, 0 HR, 0 SB 0 BB, 0 SO at…
