Arias went hitless following a surreal hot streak where he homered in three consecutive games and six times in a seven-game span since April 14. The 20-year-old prodigy finished with just eight round-trippers in 116 games last season. His combination of elite plate skills and emerging over-the-fence power at a premium defensive position will position him as an elite fantasy prospect by midseason, if he’s not there already.

Arias has now homered in four of his last five games and has four home runs and 11 RBI on the season while slashing .457/.545/.857 and posting a 4/5 K/BB ratio. The 20-year-old did finish last season with 10 games at Double-A, so if he continues to mash like this at the level, the Red Sox would likely bring him up to Triple-A by the summer. A debut in 2026 seems unlikely, but Arias is making his case to be one of the top prospects in baseball.

Arias has homered in three consecutive contests and leads the entire minors in batting average (.538), on-base percentage (629) and OPS (1.591). The 20-year-old shortstop prodigy has displayed some of the strongest plate skills in the lower minors over the last few years and he’s clearly added some strength and bat speed this season, emerging as one of the more intriguing prospects in the fantasy landscape. He’s highly unlikely to develop into an elite power source at the highest level, but pairing double-digit over-the-fence pop and steals with an above-average hit tool and elite defense set an extremely high fantasy floor. It’s extremely early for definitive statements, but Arias is on pace to finish the year as one of the top prospects in baseball.

Arias been one of the hottest hitters in the entire minors this season, batting .542 (13-for-24) through eight games. What makes it even more impressive is that the 20-year-old prodigy, who has homered in back-to-back contests, is doing this as the youngest hitter in the entire Eastern League. It’s easy to envision Arias becoming one of the top prospects in the fantasy landscape by midseason since he pairs elite contact ability with developing over-the-fence pop. His fantasy stock will continue skyrocketing in dynasty leagues if he keeps tearing the cover off the ball.

The Mets needed some extra pool money to sign top international prospect Wandy Asigen, who recently committed to them after a deal with the Yankees fell apart. That worked out great for the Guardians, who don’t like spending money. Gomez was the Mets’ No. 22 prospect, according to Baseball America. The 20-year-old, an international signing in 2022, had a 2.76 ERA in 71 2/3 innings for two A-ball teams last season.
