Week 2 Fantasy Baseball Pitcher Prospect Watch: Robert Gasser, Logan Henderson Rise

The mighty quest for pitching is a season-long battle in fantasy baseball, with many pitfalls due to injuries and underperformance. Minor league pitchers can tease, but there are years where multiple arms help fantasy teams up the standings. Here’s an early look at some pitchers to follow in 2026:

Robert Gasser, Milwaukee Brewers

After one quick start in the minors at AAA, Gasser has put his name front and center among arms to follow early in the year. He tossed 5.2 shutout innings on March 27th, leading to three hits, two walks, and 11 strikeouts. Gasser showed more risk this spring (seven runs, 18 baserunners, and three home runs over 12.1 innings).

His average fastball (93.7 mph) has been at career-high levels this year while working off five pitches (sinker, slider, four-seamer, cutter, and changeup). Gasser has 45 games of experience at AAA (14-6 with 3.62 ERA, 1.292 WHIP, and 261 strikeouts over 211.1 innings). He should be the first starting pitcher called up when the Brewers need another starter.

Over his first two appearances, Schultz pitched at an elite level (one run, two hits, two walks, and 10 strikeouts). His arm flashed in 2024 at High A and AA (2.85 ERA, 0.985 WHIP, and 115 strikeouts over 88.1 innings). Unfortunately, he struggled mightily over five starts at AAA (17 runs, 32 baserunners, three home runs, and 18 strikeouts) after mixed results at AA (3.34 ERA, 1.588 WHIP, and 58 strikeouts over 56.2 innings).

Schultz opened this season at 22. The White Sox drafted him 26th overall in the 2022 MLB June Amateur Draft out of high school. This spring, he allowed one run and three hits over 4.1 innings with five strikeouts. His average fastball in 2026 has been about 96.0 mph. Schultz upped his cutter usage at the expense of his slider, while mixing in a four-seamer, sinker, and changeup.

Logan Henderson, Milwaukee Brewers

Milwaukee gave Henderson only three innings of work in his first AAA appearance. He didn’t allow a run with a hit, one walk, and five strikeouts. His arm looked sharp over three games in March (1.50 ERA, 0.500 WHIP, and four strikeouts over six innings). Henderson has league average fastball (93.4 mph) while gaining his success with a plus changeup and serviceable cutter.

His success over five starts (3-0 with 1.78 ERA, 0.987 WHIP, and 33 strikeouts) with the Brewers last year will raise interest in his arm if and when Henderson is called up. A late 2025 season right elbow issue does put a red flag next to his profile.

Robby Snelling, Miami Marlins

Snelling flew up draft boards in February and early March, but a dull spring training (seven runs, 16 baserunners, and 13 strikeouts over 8.1 innings) led to him being shipped to AAA on March 18th. His left arm sizzled over 11 starts last summer at AAA (6-2 with a 1.27 ERA, 0.990 WHIP, and 81 strikeouts over 63.2 innings), putting him in the 2026 breakout deep sleeper category. Snelling had a quiet opening start in the minors (one run, one hit, two walks, and three strikeouts over 4.0 innings). His average fastball (94.9 mph) has been up slightly this year.

Miguel Ullola, Houston Astros

In 2024 and 2025, Ullola was challenging to hit in the minors (145 hits over 244.0 innings), but his high walk rate (5.7) created drama innings on the basepaths. In his first appearance this season at AAA, he allowed one run, one hit, and one walk over 5.2 innings with seven strikeouts. Ullola has a career 4.29 ERA and 1.335 WHIP in the minors, showing his up-and-down potential early in his major league career. He brings a league-average fastball (93.5 mph).

Sean Sullivan, Colorado Rockies

There’s been a lot to like about Sullivan over his first four seasons in the minors. He went 19-9 over 45 games, with a 2.45 ERA, 0.974 WHIP, and 247 strikeouts over 228.0 innings. In the first AAA appearance of his career in 2026, Sullivan allowed a run and six baserunners over 4.2 innings with eight strikeouts. Unfortunately, his soft-tosser profile (89.5 mph fastball) screams disaster coming in the Rockies' home park. In a way, he could be the next version of Kyle Freeland, with deception.
