1. OF Eric Hartman | 20 | AA | 2028

A 2024 20th-round pick as a high-school draftee out of Alberta, Canada, Hartman was the talk of the prospect universe early this summer as a 19-year-old laying waste to High-A pitching. Things haven’t gone as well since his promotion to Double-A, where he’s slashing .217/.336/.321 with two home runs and 34 strikeouts (27.2 percent) through 27 games. It’s still good for a newly minted 20-year-old, honestly, but it speaks to some hit-tool concerns that will linger perhaps even if/when Hartman has some success at the major league level. Everything else about the 6’1” 185 pound lefty bat is pretty exciting. He’s stolen 52 bases in 61 attempts and hit 26 home runs in 121 games across two levels.

1. LHP Cam Caminiti | 19 | A | 2027 

The 24th overall pick in the 2024 draft, Caminiti dominated Low-A this year with premium velocity at 6’2” 195 lbs. I bumped his timeline up a year from last year’s Atlanta list because this org tends to slam the gas when they deem a guy ready to contribute. He’s allowed just one home run in 56.1 Low-A innings across 13 starts, recording a 2.08 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 75 strikeouts against 28 walks. Easy to root for this guy.

1. LHP Cam Caminiti | 18 | A | 2028 

At 6’2” 195 lbs with 98 mile-an-hour heat from an athletic delivery, Caminiti declared a year early for the draft and landed at 24th overall. As a two-way player, he patrolled center field and was good enough there that a decision had to be made about his role. He’s shown three solid pitches (curve, slider, change) along with the fastball, making him an alarming and unique matchup for hitters at the lower levels. Atlanta didn’t even bother breaking him in during complex league play, sending him instead to Low-A late in the season. He threw just three innings there, allowing one run on three hits with four strikeouts and zero walks.
