ERIC CROSS' LATEST PROSPECT RANKING: NA
CALL-UP ETA: NA

The right-handed pitcher had made great progress this season compared to his 2023 production when he posted a 4.72 ERA and 1.28 WHIP across both Low and High-A.
One reason for this drastic improvement in his statistics is due to how well he has performed against right-handed batters. Last season, he allowed a 1.28 WHIP and 17 free passes against righties, but this season, he has an excellent 0.54 WHIP and has only surrendered five walks.
The No. 5 prospect in the Atlanta system is worth monitoring over the summer and is worth adding in deeper dynasty leagues.
