PLIVE- Deep Sea Diving: Greatest Hits Volume 1 (07/10)

Prospects Live July 10, 2026

In this series, I will be using PLIVE-, Prospect Live's other secret weapon (which all MVP and Hall of Fame subscribers have access to), to uncover the next breakout prospects before anyone else. This week's article celebrates the best calls from the first three iterations of this series. In addition to the prospects that are long gone in our leagues, there are also some thoroughly undervalued prospects on this list. It is time to move on from struggling players who peaked in 2024 and start searching for the next big thing. Follow me @high_upside on X, and I will be back Tuesday with next week's hitting prospects.

04/30/26: The First Edition

Nolan Perry, RHP, TOR

22 yo, Double-A; Rostership when written up: 3%; Currently rostered on Fantrax: 20%; PL- year/career 85/79 (-2.4 monthly change)

Perry has been the best find of the series so far, with his rostership rocketing up to 20% two months after publication and recently entering the top 100 over on MLB.com. He's been just as dominant over the last couple of months, and his season ERA stands at 2.47 (2.73 FIP) after 13 appearances this season. He was recently promoted to Double-A, thanks in part to his strong 39.4% strikeout and 8.8% walk rates on the season. The 6'2 righty has had success with all 6 of his above-average pitches this year and will be pitching in the Futures Game this All-Star break.

New No. 17 #BlueJays prospect Nolan Perry continues his fantastic start to the season:

5 IP 1 H 0 R 10 K 1 BB 15 Whiffs (45% whiff rate) 83 Pitches

Batters are hitting .124/.209/.248 with a 45% K rate vs. Perry this year.#BlueJays50 @vancanadians @MLBPipeline @nolanperry101 pic.twitter.com/c3YGQvZbBP

Justin Lamkin, LHP, KC

22 yo, Double-A; Rostership when written up: 2%; Currently rostered on Fantrax: 10%; PL- year/career 79/81 (-0.3 monthly change)

Lamkin was absolutely rolling before going down with an unspecified injury during a game on 5/25. He's now on the 60-day IL. The 6'4 lefty has posted 34.9% strikeout and 9.2% walk rates while maintaining a 2.04 ERA in 8 starts this season (39.2 innings pitched). His stuff is funky, as indicated by his 70.4% zone contact rate and 37.4% CSW.

20 yo, High-A; Rostership when written up: 3%; Currently rostered on Fantrax: 7%; PL- year/career 91/88 (-3.7 monthly change)

The 6'3 lefty has added 2 MPH to his fastball, and the offering held Single-A hitters to a paltry .163 xwOBA. All 5 of his pitches grade 98 or better TJStuff+, and he's striking out 33.6% of opposing batters this season.
