Cooper Flemming Joins MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects

The Tampa Bay Rays farm system is getting more exposure on a national level. 

As the team is contemplating adding players at the MLB Trade Deadline this Monday to bolster their active roster, the ammo they have to make a trade is getting ranked even higher by plenty of industry rankings. 

Another Rays player has entered the Top-100 according to MLB Pipeline. Prospect Cooper Flemming, found himself on the list on Friday in the latest update. The infielder is currently playing for the Class -A Charleston RiverDogs within the Rays organization, 

After being selected in the second round of the 2025 MLB Draft, Flemming has started his minor career off strong in 2026. So far in 89 games for Charleston, he has a .300 batting average and a .848 OPS. He also has shown signs of power with 9 home runs and 33 extra-base hits on the season. He also has 13 stolen bases on the year. 

According to MLB Pipeline, he might be slated to move to 3rd base in the near future, as they stated, "He's regarded as a hard worker with a lot of natural curiosity about the game. But he's more of an upright defender, given his size, and any more growth could force a move to the hot corner that will put more pressure on his promising bat."

Flemming now marks 4 Rays prospects inside the Top-100 across Major League Baseball, joining Theo Gillen, Nathan Flewelling and Caden Bodine.

In other news, the Rays top prospect in the organization Theo Gillen continues to show he is not slowing down in his progression following his recent promotion to Double-A Montgomery. 

In his 26 games with the Biscuits, he is hitting .272/.385/.524 with a .909 OPS. The power has translated nicely to the Triple-A level as he already has a record 6 home runs and 12 extra-base hits. Gillen could find himself making his Triple-A Debut, possibly following the MLB Trade Deadline, if he stays with the organization.
