Every player card has a full form curve since launch. You can either click the share graphic to see it on the top of their player card, or scroll down to them when clicking on a card from the board. You may see some spikes or dips where the board recalculated, that's normal.
Prospect wide risers and coolers are at https://t.co/tFlDASFaHG, and they show movement over the last 7 days. 14, 21, and 30 day samples are next on the list.
Our Ahead of the Curve calls against consensus, will mature in another 12 days or so, and by then we'll have a full month of our hits and misses which will be made public.
Thanks for supporting! ✊️
ValuCast's Ahead of the Curve board for 7/1. Top prospect buys by signal, not reputation.
Notice most of the top 5 are actually down over the last 18 days. That's the point. This isn't a hype list, it's who our model still likes despite the recent dip. Brady Ebel tops it at 74 despite giving up ground and Malachi Witherspoon's the one climbing, his 19.6% K-BB% compared to his 5.12 ERA is classic stuff ahead of polish.

Is Junior Caminero the top dynasty asset in baseball?
2026 so far: .293/.385/.557, 23 HR, he's basically a top 5 hitter in the game right now. Full-season pace projects to 42 HR, 105 RBI, and a .901 OPS.
His walk rate has nearly doubled (6.3% to 13.3%) because he's chasing fewer pitches out of the zone. The underlying quality of contact backs it up too, he's squaring the ball up as hard as almost anyone in the league. We don't think this is some lucky stretch either, this is a real jump in approach on top of already elite bat to ball skills.
Career total if health cooperates: roughly 2,200 hits, 530+ HR, 1,460+ RBI, a .275/.364/.522 line through age 35. But that's the "if everything goes right" version, not a promise.

When we say "Ahead of the Curve", this is exactly what it looks like. Gabriel Hughes, our 9th ranked prospect, gets the call after a dominant June!
Consensus boards had him outside the top 100. The model saw a big-league arm. 88th percentile BB/9, 91st percentile K-BB%, MLB-equivalent command already above big-league average. Tonight Colorado agreed.

Franklin Arias has nothing left to prove in Portland.
The 20-year-old shortstop is our #2 ranked prospect, and the reason is quite simple.
The guy can hit.
.329/.407/.588, a .995 OPS, 98th-percentile power and contact at AA, now up to 16 homers with a 13% strikeout rate.
Top of the board bat. Worcester should be seeing him any day now. https://t.co/IDdAAfPknb
Franklin Arias launches his 16th homer of the year -- his second in three games!
MLB's No. 8 prospect (@RedSox) entered the day with multiple knocks in each of his past seven starts for the Double-A @PortlandSeaDogs.

Our Prospect 📈❄️ board for June 30, the biggest 7-day movers.
Separate from our Ahead of the Curve Top 40: this one's pure momentum, who's heating up and cooling off this week.
📈 Xavier Neyens +7.8 · Eduardo Quintero +7.2 · JoJo Parker +6.9
❄️ Jaison Chourio −12.3 · Brooks Brannon −6.9 · Hendry Mendez −6.2
Real, sustained moves. https://t.co/IDdAAfPScJ
We made Kruz our #1 prospect buy three days running. Today he's off the board and rather than quietly deleting him, we told you exactly why. We aren't claiming to be best, just the most transparent.

🟢 ValuCast Ahead of the Curve - Prospect Buy Board, June 30
Kruz Schoolcraft was our #1 prospect buy three days running. Today he's off the board, and we'd rather tell you why than hide it.
MLB Pipeline just dropped him from their Top 100. Our board needs 3 independent boards to corroborate a name, and he's down to 2.
But our model still has him at #43, the field's around #168. We're not selling. When the consensus moves, our board moves with it, and we show our work.
Today's top buys: Brady Ebel, then JoJo Parker, Hayden Alvarez, Malachi Witherspoon, Justin Gonzales.
Signal, not reputation. https://t.co/IDdAAfPknb
Ronny Hernandez is one of the more underrated catching prospects in baseball. The rest of the world is sleeping on him, but not us. We have him 70th. It's a small sample, but a 21 y/o with this kind of approach tends to stick.
When we say Ahead of the 📈, this is what we mean.
