As Week 6 of the fantasy baseball season approaches, several rookie pitchers are emerging as potential assets for fantasy managers. Notably, Noah Cameron of the Kansas City Royals has shown promise with a solid minor league track record, although his MLB debut was marred by control issues. Despite a 21.1% strikeout minus walk rate in the minors, his 41.8% ball rate raises concerns.

Gunnar Hoglund of the Oakland Athletics has an encouraging outlook due to improved control this season. His projection for more starts makes him a viable option once J.T. Ginn returns. Blade Tidwell from the New York Mets has a mixed performance so far, with a four-seam that has potential but needs better location. Meanwhile, Chase Petty from the Cincinnati Reds has potential but must refine his control and pitch movements to capitalize on future opportunities. Stashing these rookies could benefit fantasy managers looking for upside later in the season.
