Welcome to Farm Gems! This is a list of Twitter-length (280 characters) blurbs on prospects that I own in one of the (several) deep dynasty formats that I play in. This is a rolling list that will get updated as the season progresses. I’ll also tweet these out as I update additional players. Enjoy!

Niko Hulsizer is potential riser. 2017 college HR derby champ, squats 545. Has been 🔥over the past couple weeks. 12 HR and .616 SLG lead the MWL. 22 yo, needs a promotion for additional challenge https://t.co/CmMAgqrnHw

💎 Daulton “Roadhouse” Varsho is one of the top C prospects in baseball. LHH, .360 OBP, intriguing power/speed (8HR+5SB), athletic behind the dish, capable of playing LF/1B in the future too. FB% up to 55%, power is coming along now too (.227 ISO at AA). Soon consensus Top-100. https://t.co/3xynu4H3fe

💎Isiah Gilliam is 1B/OF corner bat who is popping up on NYY lists. Repeating A+ ball this yr to great results. 146 wRC+, .379 wOBA, combo meal potential with 5 HR, 8 SB. Deceptively athletic for 6’3″ 220 lbs frame. Promotion to AA the next step. https://t.co/4VIsoO24x4

👨🌾💎 Otto Lopez is a RHH utility man (SS/2B/LF/RF) who is playing in the MWL. Speed (10 SB) + OBP (.366) give him a leadoff profile. There’s a little pop too (2 HR). 18/56/26 LD/GB/FB% not ideal. With more FB should run into more 2B/HR (see 2018 distribution). 20 yo. https://t.co/LxI4PcQxBP

👨🌾💎Rylan Bannon is a 2B/3B who came to BAL from LAD in Machado trade. Repeating AA to start 2019. 23 yo. Potential for 5s Hit-Pow-Spd-Def. 19% K-rate with .142 ISO, not a slap hitter. .343 wOBA, 121 wRC+. Not a superstar, but has well-rounded game that plays up. https://t.co/0hV2szLfSv

👨🌾💎 Lucius Fox Jr. We already knew about the 7 glove. In 2019, he’s getting on base (14.5% BB), running like crazy (17/21 SBA), and has added some pop to his game too (.123 ISO). AVG (.185) getting killed by BABIP (.229). Still only 21. Could be a buy-low opportunity. https://t.co/oxc9ex84NC
