Chase Hampton wasn't a traditional pop-up prospect, as 2023 was his pro debut, but he went from unrostered in most dynasty leagues to a top-100 prospect thanks to a dominant run at High-A and an adequate run at Double-A as a 21-year-old. The 6-foot-2 righty was a sixth-round pick out of Texas Tech in 2022 and he logged a 2.68 ERA, 1.00 WHIP and an elite 32.1 K-BB% in nine High-A starts. His BB% remained constant (8.4 to 8.5) after the jump to Double-A, while his K% dipped from 40.5 to 27.4, resulting in a still solid 19.0 K-BB%. Hampton's strong command of a plus mid-90s fastball with excellent movement is the key to his success. Off that 60-grade fastball, his above-average slider and above-average curveball play well, and he also mixes in a cutter and changeup. A lot can go wrong with any pitching prospect, but with good health, Hampton looks like a safe bet to develop into a No. 3 starter in the majors. He should debut in late-2024 or early-2025.

  • Yankees' Chase Hampton: Shifts to 60-day IL

    Double-A Somerset transferred Hampton (shoulder) from its 7-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Saturday. Hampton has yet to make his 2024 debut after he contended with right shoulder discomfort coming out of spring training. According to Chris Kirschner of The Athletic, Yankees manager Aaron Boone said Hampton has resumed a throwing program, but the 22-year-old right-hander still looks to be at least a month away from joining the Somerset rotation.

  • Yankees' Chase Hampton: Moved to minor-league camp

    The Yankees reassigned Hampton to minor-league camp Sunday. Hampton is one of the organization's top pitching prospects, and he got into one Grapefruit League contest this spring, allowing a hit and a walk while striking out two batters in one scoreless inning. He has yet to reach the Triple-A level in the minors, however, so he was never expected to compete for a spot on the big-league Opening Day roster. If Hampton continues to show success on the farm, he could get a look in the majors at some point in 2024.

  • Yankees' Chase Hampton: Invited to spring training

    The Yankees have issued Hampton in invitation to participate in major-league spring training, Bryan Hoch of MLB.com reports. Hampton was a sixth-round selection by New York in the 2022 First-Year Player Draft and split time between High-A and Double-A last season, totaling a 3.63 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and an impressive 145:37 K:BB over 106.2 innings across 20 starts. The right-hander logged 59.2 of those frames with Double-A Somerset, so it's feasible that he could open the 2024 campaign at the Triple-A level. If he continues to thrive in the minors, Hampton could get his first look in the big leagues as soon as the upcoming season.
