Tyler Soderstrom Stats

Oakland Athletics prospect Tyler Soderstrom went 3-for-6 with two home runs and five runs driven in on Friday at Low-A. The young catcher (who is also spending time at first base) has now seen 21 of his 45 hits go for extra bases including seven home runs in 38 games. Soderstrom is also hitting .296 with a walk rate above 10%, and a 143 wRC+. He was selected 26th overall out of high school in the 2020 amateur draft and was known more for his offensive abilities than his defense as an amateur so the early results are not surprising. Soderstrom, 19, is ranked by Rotoballer as one of the top catching prospects in baseball and is the 86th-best dynasty prospect overall.

Oakland Athletics catcher prospect Tyler Soderstrom is turning heads in big league camp as he prepares for his first season of pro-ball. The 19-year-old Soderstrom has no chance of being on the Opening Day roster, however, manager Bob Melvin has been impressed with the 2020 first-round draft pick. Melvin said, "For a guy that's still a teenager, it's pretty impressive to watch the type of at-bats he's putting together at big league camp," according to MLB.com's Martin Gallegos. His Cactus League numbers back that up as he's 4-for-7 so far with three doubles, with his most recent double registering an impressive 109.6 MPH exit velocity, per Statcast. Soderstrom is a must-roster catching option in dynasty formats.

Oakland Athletics catcher Tyler Soderstrom was invited to big-league camp. The 19-year-old is unlikely to be called up to the majors this season after only getting a short look in 2020 while at the A's alternate site last season. However, the 2020 first-round pick is oozing with potential. He was named the Gatorade California Baseball Player of the Year and batted .364 while playing for the 18-and-under United States national team. Given the dearth of reliable catching options in fantasy, Soderstrom is a name that dynasty managers need to know. Getting a chance to play with major leaguers in spring training is a great start for a promising young prospect.
