Austin Krob is a fantasy baseball SP prospect sleeper and minor leaguer to know. Read our MLB prospects outlooks for fantasy baseball rookies and call-ups.
PROSPECT: Austin Krob, SP, San Diego Padres
ANALYSIS: The Padres drafted Krob out of Texas Christian University in the 12th round of the 2022 MLB Draft. He posted a 5.12 ERA in his final year with TCU, which hurt his draft status. His pro debut didn't help his standing either, as he allowed five runs across 4 1/3 innings with Lake Elsinore in September of 2022.
This season has been a different story so far, however. The lefty has worked 41 innings for Lake Elsinore in the Cal League, where he's more than a year older than the average player. In that time, he's posted a 1.54 ERA, 1.22 WHIP, and 50:17 K/BB ratio.
Krob uses a lower arm slot to help his low-90s fastball and wicked mid-80s slider play up, which can deceive batters. However, he can go through stretches where he struggles to locate, as he owns a career 4.0 BB/9 in the minors.
VERDICT: Krob's stuff from the left side should have him on the radar, but he very well could be a guy that the Padres build up and ship off in a trade deadline deal. No real need to stash at this time, but keep an eye on him going forward.
