BALLER MOVE:Add in 14+ Team LeaguesOWNED IN: 9% of leaguesANALYSIS:25-year-old Austin Hays is a former highly touted prospect, and given the downtrodden nature of the Baltimore Orioles roster, is ready to take the reigns in the outfield at Camden Yards for the abbreviated 2020 MLB season.

One of my favorite aspects of fantasy sports is the excitement that it can bring to fans that otherwise might not have much to cheer about.

In just 68 at-bats with the Orioles last September, Hays hit for a .309 AVG with...

Baltimore Orioles outfielder Austin Hays continued to make a good first impression in Wednesday's 7-3 win over the Dodgers, going 3-for-4 with two singles and a double. The 24-year-old is one of the O's top prospects and is now hitting .300 in 11 plate appearances. The sample size is obviously small, but the end of the 2019 season will give fantasy players a nice look at a potentially valuable dynasty asset.

The minor league seasons are winding down with around three weeks left. Once September hits, major league rosters will expand for the stretch run. That means that many of the big-name and under-the-radar prospects that have been performing at a high level all year will get the call to help their respective teams for the final month of the regular season.Guys like Carter Kieboom, Kyle Tucker and Luis Robert, who have been tearing it up on the farm all year, could help the Nationals, Astros and ...
