Jake Bennett 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: Jake Bennett, SP, Washington Nationals
ANALYSIS: In the summer of 2021, Bennett had an impressive summer in the Cape Cod League, and he followed it up with an impressive 2022 for Oklahoma, posting a 133/22 K/BB ratio over 117 innings for the Sooners. The Nationals selected the 6'6" lefty in the second round of last summer's draft.
While he didn't pitch during the season for Washington, he impressed in his time at instructs and really began to pick up steam this spring with performances on the back fields. He's totaled 56 innings on the year, with a 1.77 ERA and 1.02 WHIP, posting a 70/13 K/BB ratio across both A-ball levels.
Typically a guy at Bennett's height would struggle to be as athletic and smooth in his delivery as Bennett is. He works with a fastball that touches 96-97 but sits 92-94 and features a plus change and a slider that he's worked on shaping more consistently this year.
VERDICT: Bennett is still not yet in the upper minors, so he's not a priority add in any format, but with the college pedigree and his performance this year so far, keep an eye on how he finishes the year.
