Every Las Vegas A's Prospect to Watch in 2026 and Beyond

The Foundation of the 2028 Vegas Roster

While the headlines are dominated by stadium renderings and ownership drama, the actual success of the Las Vegas Athletics will be determined in places like Lansing, Midland, and Las Vegas (Triple-A). The A's farm system has undergone a major infusion of talent over the last two years, shifting from a bottom-tier group to a top-10 system in baseball. These are the names you will be cheering for when the roof opens on the Strip in 2028.

1. Jacob Wilson (SS) - The Contact King

Scouting Report: Wilson is perhaps the most unique prospect in baseball. His bat-to-ball skills are legendary; he simply does not strike out. In an era of high-velocity swing-and-miss, Wilson is a throwback. He has refined his defensive range at shortstop and looks like a Huntington-caliber defender.
ETA: Mid-2026. Wilson is the centerpiece of the future infield.

2. Luis Morales (RHP) - The Cuban Flame-Thrower

Scouting Report: Morales features an effortless 98-100 mph fastball and a slider that disappears. Since signing out of Cuba, his command has improved significantly. He has "Ace" potential and could be the Opening Day starter for the 2028 Vegas opener.
ETA: 2027.

3. Denzel Clarke (OF) - The Five-Tool Freak

Scouting Report: Clarke has the highest ceiling in the system. Standing 6'5", he has light-tower power and elite speed. His strikeout rate was the only concern, but 2025 saw him make major adjustments to his swing plane. He is a highlight reel waiting to happen.
ETA: Late 2026.

4. Steven Echavarria (RHP) - The Polished Projection

Scouting Report: A high-school pick who has matured quickly. Echavarria has a four-pitch mix and poise that belies his age. He isn't just a thrower; he’s a pitcher. His "stuff" continues to tick up as he fills out his frame.
ETA: 2027.

5. Myles Naylor (3B) - The Next Generation

Scouting Report: The youngest of the Naylor brothers, Myles has the most raw power of the bunch. He’s a natural third baseman with a cannon for an arm. If he can maintain his plate discipline, he is a perennial 30-home run threat in the making.
ETA: 2027.

6. Henry Bolte (OF) - Power and Speed

Scouting Report: Like Clarke, Bolte is an elite athlete. He has a massive "power-speed" combo that translates well to the modern game. His 2025 season in High-A was a breakout, showing he can handle advanced velocity.
ETA: 2027.

7. Colby Thomas (OF) - The Sneaky Star

Scouting Report: All Thomas does is hit. He’s been one of the most productive hitters in the minors since being drafted. He may not have the "tools" of a Clarke, but his "at-bat quality" is through the roof.
ETA: 2026.

8. Daniel Susac (C) - The Anchor

Scouting Report: A big, physical catcher who can handle a staff and provide pop from the right side. The A's have been patient with his development, focusing on his game-calling. He projects as a solid everyday Major League catcher.
ETA: 2026.

9. Ryan Lasko (OF) - The Defensive Specialist

Scouting Report: Lasko is already a Gold Glove-caliber outfielder. His ability to track balls in the gap is elite. His bat is catching up to his glove, making him a potential high-value "glue" player for the Vegas outfield.
ETA: 2027.

10. Mason Barnett (RHP) - The Mid-Rotation Workhorse

Scouting Report: Barnett has a high floor. He throws strikes, eats innings, and has a competitive fire that scouts love. He may not be a superstar, but every winning team needs a guy like Barnett to take the ball every fifth day.
ETA: 2026.

The Road to 2028

The 2028 roster in Las Vegas will likely feature a core built entirely from this list. By then, players like Zack Gelof and Lawrence Butler will be the "veteran" leaders, while Wilson and Morales enter their prime. The farm system is finally producing the volume of talent necessary to compete in the AL West without needing a $300 million payroll. The wait might be frustrating, but the talent is undeniable.
