Ryan Waldschmidt Fantasy Stats

Since being called up for his MLB debut in early May, Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt has made an immediate impact at the big-league level. Across 70 plate appearances, the 23-year-old is hitting .302/.362/.413 with zero home runs, seven RBI, 10 runs scored, and five stolen bases. There are a few worrying signs in Waldschmidt's profile that point to potential regression. He's struck out in 30% of his plate appearances, and his batting average has been buoyed by an unsustainably high .452 batting average on balls in play. Still, Waldschmidt stole 29 bases in the minor leagues in Triple-A and has been aggressive on the basepaths early in his MLB career. He also consistently ran double-digit walk rates in the minors, which should help him get on base consistently and stay in the lineup even if his batting average tails off. Particularly for fantasy managers in need of speed, Waldschmidt is a viable waiver wire target.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt went 2-for-3 with a stolen base in Friday's 3-2 loss to the Colorado Rockies. Waldschmidt is hitting .500 (7-for-14) with two doubles, three walks, and three stolen bases over his last five games. He has yet to hit a home run, but overall, the 23-year-old is slashing .326/.396/.419 with six RBI and four stolen bases in 48 plate appearances. He has the potential to be a five-category contributor and slashed .302/.415/.491 with 12 home runs, 25 steals, 14% BB rate, and 20% strikeout rate in 100 games between Double-A and Triple-A last summer. Waldschmidt is only rostered in 15% of Yahoo Fantasy leagues and is quickly becoming a player to add in most formats as he continues to swing a hot bat.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt has impressed through his first 10 games in the majors and looks ready to be a long-time fixture in Arizona's outfield moving forward. The 23-year-old is the team's No. 1 prospect according to MLB Pipeline and has lived up to the hype, hitting .313 (6-for-32) with four doubles, three stolen bases, three walks, and six RBI. He hasn't hit a homer yet in the majors, but had 18 in 134 games in the minors in 2025 and three in 34 games in Triple-A before his promotion. He has a 16.7% barrel rate and has caught barrels in back-to-back games after going 3-for-3 with two doubles in Monday's 12-2 rout of the Giants. Waldschmidt is a great fantasy baseball addition if you need outfield depth at this point in the season and offers well-balanced production with good speed and batting average production right away.

Arizona Diamondbacks top-ranked prospect and MLB's 51st-ranked prospect, outfielder Ryan Waldschmidt, was called up to the big-league club on May 8 after the team traded Alek Thomas to the Dodgers, clearing the path for Waldschmidt to take advantage of the opportunity he's been given. Through 19 plate appearances, he's collected five hits, three RBI, one walk, one run, and one walk. Waldschmidt is a solid pure hitter with five category potential, as he slashed .289/.419/.473 with 18 home runs, 114 runs scored, 78 RBI, 29 stolen bases on the minors last year, and started 2026 in Triple-A, where he had a similar slash line of .289/.400/.477 with three home runs, 30 runs scored, 22 RBI, and six stolen bases through 156 plate appearences. In other words, he has performed and done it at every stop through his minor league career, so now it's a matter of taking off with his opportunity at the majors, and if he does, he will be a solid contributor to all five categories, making him a must-add player in five outfield leagues.

The Arizona Diamondbacks have called up top prospect Ryan Waldschmidt from Triple-A Reno on Friday to make his major-league debut, according to MLB Pipeline. In a corresponding move, outfielder Alek Thomas was optioned to Reno. The 23-year-old outfielder is ranked as MLB Pipeline's No. 49 prospect in baseball, and he has earned his first MLB promotion after slashing .289/.400/.477 with an .877 OPS, three home runs, nine doubles, three triples, 22 RBI, six stolen bases, 30 runs scored, 19 walks, and 38 strikeouts in 34 games across 156 plate appearances with the Aces. Waldschmidt should play regularly for the Snakes in center field now that Thomas is being sent to the minors, and he'll absolutely be worth a look in single-year fantasy leagues now that he's up in the majors. The former first-rounder in 2024 out of Kentucky is currently rostered in only 5% of Yahoo leagues, so he's widely available. The 6-foot, 205-pounder has lots of fantasy upside for his above-average raw power from the right side of the plate in a hitter-friendly home environment at Chase Field.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt (head) had an injury scare while at Triple-A Reno on Tuesday when he was hit square in the helmet by a pitch. Waldschmidt initially stayed in the game before eventually being pulled, and he was held out of Wednesday's lineup as a precaution. The 23-year-old was back on the field for Thursday's game at Triple-A, though, and he went 2-for-5 at the plate with an RBI for the Aces. Arizona's top prospect, per MLB Pipeline, has struggled at the dish of late, hitting just .105 with two doubles, two RBI, five runs scored, and two stolen bases in his last five games, but overall, he's still hitting a strong .289/.400/.477 with an .877 OPS, three home runs, 22 RBI, six stolen bases, and 30 runs scored in 34 games on the farm. Despite being rostered in only 4% of Yahoo leagues, Waldschmidt remains one of the top young outfield stashes in fantasy baseball, and he should be up in the big leagues in 2026 sooner rather than later. The 6-foot, 205-pounder is intriguing for his above-average raw power from the right side of the plate.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt (head) had an impressive month of April at the plate, and he could be due for a promotion to the majors very soon. When he does get called up, he'll be making his MLB debut. The 31st overall pick in the 2024 draft, Waldschmidt is slashing .285/.400/.480 with three home runs, six steals, a 12.6% walk rate, a 24.5% strikeout rate, and 117 wRC+ at Triple-A this year. He's also a talented defender who has the ability to play any of the three outfield spots, although 93.5% of his defensive innings this season have come in center field. The biggest concern with Waldschmidt right now is that he took a pitch to the head on Tuesday, and he didn't play on Wednesday. Depending on the severity, he could be due for a stint on the injured list. Once he returns to action, though, he'll continue his push for a spot on the major league roster. Regarded as a power and speed threat, Waldschmidt is worth stashing in many fantasy baseball leagues.

Preston Salisbury of AZSnakePit.com reports that Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt (head) was hit square on the side of the helmet by a fastball during Tuesday's game with Triple-A Reno. Waldschmidt stayed in the game initially before being removed, and he was held out of Wednesday's contest as a precaution. It's unclear if Waldschmidt is in the league's concussion protocol or if he's dealing with concussion-like symptoms, but it's an injury to follow up on for fantasy managers already stashing the outfield prospect in dynasty/keeper leagues. In redraft leagues, the D-backs' top-ranked prospect, per MLB Pipeline, is also a stash candidate with his MLB debut expected to come at some point in 2026. Before his head injury this week, the 23-year-old former first-rounder in 2024 out of Kentucky was hitting .285/.400/.480 with an .880 OPS, three homers, 21 RBI, 30 runs scored, and six steals in 33 games for Reno. Waldschmidt is currently rostered in only 4% of Yahoo leagues.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt has hit a bit of a skid at Triple-A and has seen his value as a top hitting prospect to stash decline slightly. Over his last seven games with Triple-A Reno, Waldschmidt has gone 5-for-28 with just one home run and a double. During this stretch, the outfielder has swiped two bags while holding a 7:2 K:BB. However, prior to this short slump, Waldschmidt held an impressive .330/.441/.520 line with a strong .980 OPS over his first 24 games at the Triple-A level. Even though Waldschmidt was unable to break camp with the MLB roster, the former Kentucky standout has held his own at the top level of minor leagues. If he can snap this cold slump, Waldschmidt should remain in the mix to debut in the coming weeks. His five-category potential makes him a top-hitting prospect to stash.

Arizona Diamondbacks outfield prospect Ryan Waldschmidt simply will not slow down at Triple-A Reno and continues to press for a promotion to the major leagues. In his most recent contest, the D-backs' top-ranked prospect went 1-for-3 with a home run and two RBI, now sitting with a .317-3-19-25-4 stat line through 27 games. In addition to three home runs, the former 31st-overall draft pick has recorded seven doubles and three triples, giving him a stout .529 slugging percentage, and an above-average 11.9 percent walk rate has produced a .416 on-base percentage. After swiping 29 bags last year between High-A and Double-A, the University of Kentucky product has shown the ability to be a five-category fantasy producer, and remains one of the top hitter stashes in fantasy leagues, with appeal in all formats. The 23-year-old is likely to be up in the big leagues in the coming weeks, so the time is now to stash him away, especially in leagues where an NA spot is available.
