The 2026 Stash List is a treasure trove for fantasy managers, offering a glimpse into the future stars of baseball. This year's edition highlights the top 10 hitting prospects who could make an impact in the upcoming season, providing an opportunity to secure valuable assets for redraft leagues, especially in keeper formats. The list is a strategic guide, focusing on minor league players with a 2026 ETA, emphasizing upside, proximity, health, and opportunity. It's a game of anticipation, where the right stash can pay dividends in the long run.
Luis Lara, Milwaukee Brewers
Luis Lara, a Triple-A Nashville outfielder, has been on fire since May, with a scorching .395/.544/.535 slash line, a 22.28% walk rate, and a 12.3% strikeout rate. His performance has been a pleasant surprise, as he's been surrounded by talented teammates like Jett Williams and Cooper Pratt, who had cold starts but are turning things around. Lara's hot streak could propel him to the majors this summer, making him a potential stash worth considering.
Braden Montgomery, Chicago White Sox
The White Sox's Braden Montgomery, acquired from the Red Sox for Garrett Crochet, has shown promise in his first season of pro ball. With a .313/.429/.606 slash line, one home run, nine RBI, and a 16.7% walk rate, he's been a standout at Double-A Birmingham. His promotion to Triple-A Charlotte has seen a slight dip in his walk rate, but Montgomery's plate discipline and power make him a potential stash for the future.
