Kade Anderson Tops The Hot Sheet Again

Baseball America’s Hot Sheet ranks the hottest prospects from the previous week while also identifying a weekly helium player to keep tabs on.

The latest Hot Sheet is topped by Mariners lefthander Kade Anderson, who has been a mainstay on the weekly list this season. Anderson’s impressive 2026 campaign continued this past week with five perfect innings and seven strikeouts against a Double-A Tulsa lineup loaded with some of the Dodgers’ best prospects. The No. 3 overall pick from last year now has 115 strikeouts against just 10 walks this season, making him the only pitcher in the minor leagues with more than 100 strikeouts and 10 or fewer walks.

Join us at 2 p.m. ET on Monday for our weekly Hot Sheet prospect chat and be sure to watch the Hot Sheet show on Tuesday at 3 p.m. ET on YouTube.
