·47 min·4 clips

Clegg claims Max Clark has Corbin Carroll-like potential and could become the top prospect in baseball.

The episode begins with host Chris Welsh introducing the show and guest Chris Clegg, focusing on fantasy baseball prospects. Welsh outlines the episode's structure, continuing a prospect rank series from a previous episode with Eric Cross. Clegg joins to discuss prospects 11-25, noting that ranks expand and differences emerge beyond the top 10. They start by comparing their lists, with Welsh having Leo DeVries at 11 and Clegg having Max Clark at 12. Clegg explains his tier-based approach, suggesting prospects 11-25 are closely grouped, with a drop-off after around 15. The discussion delves into individual players: Clegg argues Max Clark has high upside, comparing him to Corbin Carroll, and debates with Welsh about Emmanuel Rodriguez's ceiling. They contrast Dalton Rushing and Leo DeVries, with Clegg favoring Rushing's bat despite age and positional concerns. The conversation shifts to pitching prospects, where Clegg ranks several pitchers highly, including Andrew Painter, Jackson Jobe, Bubba Chandler, Chase Dolander, and Noah Schultz. He details Chandler's unique athleticism and elite fastball, while Schultz's size and command are highlighted. Welsh and Clegg discuss the value of investing in pitching prospects in dynasty leagues, noting the difficulty of acquiring top arms. They also cover hitters like Kobe Mayo and Bryce Eldridge, analyzing their power and contact improvements. Clegg provides scouting reports on Carson Williams, emphasizing his defense and power-speed blend. Throughout, they reference tools, data, and team contexts, offering practical advice for fantasy managers.

As heard by us

A tier-based prospect debate that treats ranking gaps as context, not destiny.

The discussion keeps its focus on one clean prospect question: where the tier line really sits between Dalton Rushing and Leo DeVries. It fixes the earlier rank slip, places both names in the same tier, and treats tier logic as more useful than the raw number alone.
