Rookies can be game-changers for fantasy baseball teams, particularly those selected in the later rounds. This year, players such as Caleb Durbin, Tirso Ornelas, Jacob Wilson, Andrew Painter, and Jackson Jobe present intriguing options for savvy drafters looking to maximize talent without high investment. While some are being picked early, others remain under the radar, making them valuable late-round picks.

Caleb Durbin, recently acquired by the Brewers, showcases both power and speed potential, making him a candidate for a significant role in the lineup. Tirso Ornelas is another player to watch, having performed well in the minors and showing promise in spring training with the Padres. Jacob Wilson, the Athletics’ top pick, displayed strong hitting numbers in the minors and is slated for a starting role at shortstop.
