Derek Bernard - Fantasy Baseball Prospects Outlook and Analysis

fantasy baseball prospects MLB prospects rookies call-ups

Derek Bernard is a fantasy baseball 2B prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.

PROSPECT: Derek Bernard, 2B, Colorado Rockies

ANALYSIS: Signed for $185,000 out of the Dominican Republic last season, Bernard was one of the youngest signees in the 2022 class. Bernard was a surprising reassignment to the DSL this year after putting up strong stats, with a .308/.377/.439 slash line and four homers and 11 steals in 56 games last season.

Perhaps the Rockies knew what they were doing in the assignment, however. He has exploded out of the gate, with a .467/.590/.933 slash line, including a 9/3 BB/K in nine games. He's already matched his 2022 home run total with four and has also stolen five bases.

The reports on Bernard's defense indicate that he's a very strong defender at second, perhaps even plus, but would not be major league caliber at short, though he has the hands to do so.

VERDICT: Bernard is still a long way off, but he should end up stateside this year and could be another in a recently-productive middle infield development chain that the Rockies have been putting together. Hold off for now, but he's very intriguing.
