Fantasy Analysis
Bauer is now 8-1 with a 1.60 ERA in nine minor-league starts this season and has struck out 71 batters over his 56 1/3 innings pitched. The 22-year-old is ranked Arizona's top prospect by MLB.com and will likely be called upon to make his debut for the Diamondbacks sometime later in the summer. Fantasy owners should continue to track his progress down in Triple-A. Continue to view Bauer as a solid long-term keeper prospect in most Fantasy formats at this time. (Updated 05/19/2012).

Which prospects should you circle on your Draft Day cheat sheets in 2012? Our Scott White unveils his Top 50 prospects and identifies which players will make an impact on your Fantasy teams this summer.
After getting selected third overall in the 2011 amateur draft, Trevor Bauer is already itching to make his mark. No, he didn't set the world on fire in his first stint in the minors, but the Diamondbacks apparently liked what they saw enough that, prior to re-signing Joe Saunders, they planned to give Bauer a shot at a rotation spot this spring, which says something about his talent (as if the high draft pick and Golden Spikes Award didn't). Through his studies in biomechanics, effective velocity and pitch tunneling, Bauer has developed a unique style that makes the most of his smallish frame, allowing him to pitch deep into games despite his high strikeout rate. He's more likely than not to return to the minors for the start of 2012, but the Diamondbacks clearly have the future ace on the fast track and will find a way to get him in the rotation by midseason. When they do, the Fantasy impact should be immediate. Think Mark Prior . Think Tim Lincecum. Think of a way to have Bauer on your roster when that time comes, perhaps even by drafting him in standard mixed leagues. (Updated 1/27/12)
