Hope may have been overhyped heading into 2025, but regardless, he's going to be ranked lower on many prospect rankings after a fine season at High-A and a week's worth of games to close the year at Double-A. The 5-foot-10, 193-pound lefty hitter slashed .266/.376/.428 with 13 home runs, 27 steals, a 14.5 percent walk rate and a 26.3 percent strikeout rate in 127 games. His 68.3 percent contact rate and 13.1 percent swinging-strike rate are troubling marks, particularly in a system loaded with talented outfield prospects. Hope is also less likely to stick in center field than org. mates Eduardo Quintero and Mike Sirota, which puts more pressure on his bat. Good but not great outfield prospects like Hope who bat lefty typically get platooned early in the majors, and his .693 OPS against southpaws last year confirms that likelihood. He's more athletic than he looks, as he's got a thicker frame, but Hope's above-average speed could trend down in his mid-20s, and it's his long-term power that's most alluring in fantasy, despite the fact his speed was more apparent in 2025.
