The tools Merrill has in place already make him feel like a high-probability impact player, and if he develops feel for lift without compromising contact as he enters his 20s, then hes going to be one of the top couple of prospects in the minors before he debuts. Hes going to get to whatever raw power he ends up growing into and has a good shot to be a middle infield regular, though probably not until 2026 or so just based on his 40-man timeline.There are mixed feelings about his defensive fit, with most of Erics sources projecting him to second base (a mix of scouts and analysts), which is where he had him coming out of high school. INF David Mendham Mendham, an experienced and well-traveled player, is back for another season of college baseball. Flores will also show you an upper-80s cutter, which has more inconsistent shape but gives him a third viable weapon. Collegiate Baseball and the National Collegiate Baseball Writers Association rank the top 30 teams nationally. Historically, Wesneski has favored his four-seamer overall, though against big league righties, his awesome slider and sinker out-paced the heater in terms of usage, with both secondaries garnering above-average chase rates and aiding his ability to maintain a high groundball rate. Out of our newcomers, Notre Dame made the biggest vault, landing at No. Our 36th-ranked draft prospect as a high schooler in 2019, Lee is a switch-hitting shortstop with above-average power who walked nearly twice as often as he struck out as a junior. INF Dustin Dickerson Dickerson is part of another experienced lineup for Southern Miss, who have put themselves on the map as a premier mid-major in college baseball. Yorke may end up as a 40-grade infield defender, but he can really hit, and were staying on him despite a rough, injury-riddled 2022. Eders delivery has changed since college.

He slashed .327/.426/.617 combined at High-A Bowling Green and Double-A Montgomery (for the final month), hitting 22 homers across the two levels.

Over five innings against Texas, Smith struck out eight and allowed just a single hit. Millers arm swing is long and he has again been somewhat walk-prone in pro ball. Dallas Baptist; 33. With Willy Adames ahead of him on the shortstop depth chart, the Brewers tried Turang at second, third and in center in 2022; he will likely be in a timeshare with Milwaukees righty-hitting infield crew come 2023. The Volunteers jumped from No. He projects as a 2-WAR player whose versatility could help optimize the way Baltimores other young infielders are deployed. Throw in the visual twitch and athleticism, and this is the player Spotifys algorithm would recommend to FanGraphs if prospects were musical artists. It seemed plausible he might eventually grow into meaningful power, too. Lefthander/first baseman Jac Caglianone homered three times in Sundays winwhich he started on the moundand he now is hitting .414/.485/1.069 with six home runs and has struck out 15 batters in 11.1 innings. His 40-man timeline presents the Cardinals with what would likely be a seamless transition from MVP candidate Paul Goldschmidt to Walker if they so choose, with Walker possibly DHing most days during Goldys contract year. Painter has a prototypical pitchers frame and then some, standing in at a broad-shouldered 6-foot-7 (which Painter has sculpted since his days as a high school prospect), a stature youd more often associate with NBA wing players than pro pitchers. He takes a little while to get his legs churning, but once hes moving, hes a plus runner and has generated some home-to-first times in the neighborhood of 4.1-4.2 seconds. This projection is a little more bullish about him staying at short, at least for a while, largely based on Lees feel for the position. While hes been uniformly dominant in the minors, Prezs stuff hit a different gear in 2022 and he rose to being our no. The rip was more explosive than his shoulder could handle, and part of it tore away from the bone. His strikeout rate began to decline after that, and while his fastball was averaging just over 96 mph across his first four professional starts, it was just below 94 mph over his last four. OF Jace Laviolette A big recruiting coming out of high school, all of Laviolettes 6-6 frame showed up on campus and didnt disappoint in week one. The 20-year-old finished the season having performed exactly at the Double-A league average over his 86 games there despite being about four years younger than the average player at that level. As a fourth-year junior in 2021, he was still sitting 88-92 mph, with his fastball velocity sometimes drifting as low as 86 mph in a given start. The junior backstop had a great weekend, mashing three home runs and driving in six in just nine at-bats. He had a paltry 7% swinging strike rate to go along with an amazing 90% z-contact% and 85% overall contact rate. A relatively complete player, Baty will likely be better than Eduardo Escobar pretty soon and should be the Mets everyday third baseman in the near future, projecting as an above-average regular. NC RPI: Non-Conference RPI. Its enough that Julien comfortably projects as an everyday second baseman if it turns out he can stay there, and even though he has experience at other positions, second base is the only one he played in 2022. His fastball has done a ton of damage at the top of the zone and is a legit plus-plus pitch. Its fair to consider him a high-floor, low-variance prospect because Romos defensive ability and rocket arm make him very likely to be a plus defender at maturity, and even a one-note style of offense (Romo both lacks power and is relatively impatient) tends to profile at catcher. Bradley has, and hes done so while building an innings count that should help vault him into the Rays rotation at some point in 2023. Preseason All-American third baseman Brock Wilken hit four home runs on the week and is batting .294/.432/.882 with six home runs on the season. Often described on this website as Baseballs Zion Williamson, Domnguez entered the 2022 season as one of the most volatile prospects in the sport. He also throws a changeup and a slider, both of which show promise, though neither was featured much in his 2022 mix. His huge strides enable him to cover a ton of ground in center field and he is a not only a viable defender out there right now, but he looks like a future plus glove. Miami this weekend travels to Gainesville to renew its rivalry with Florida. 1, Florida State surges into D1Baseball's top 25 after Week 2, 2023 Round Rock Baseball Classic: Schedule, how to watch LSU, Iowa, K-State, Sam Houston, First No. as a junior at Campbell in 2022. Hell be just one of a whole host of All-American candidates in the LSU lineup. Over the last year or so, hes thickened like a roux and become stronger, and hes capable of doing more damage than our tepid projection expected. If he develops even a 40-grade hit tool, hell hit 30 annual bombs and it wont matter where he plays. Naylors speed is also rare for a catcher. On a universal prospect continuum, Henderson grades out a shade below some of the 70 FV or better prospects from recent years like Shohei Ohtani, Wander Franco, Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and (gulp) Gavin Lux (who is now tracking like a 60, thank goodness) because were talking about a corner bat with what might be a 45-grade hit tool.

Partnered with the USA TODAY Sports Media Group|Powered by, Signed to the practice squad by Buffalo (BUF), NFL picks against the spread: Vic Tafurs Week 12 predictions. His upper-70s curveball has more depth, but Miller rarely throws it for strikes, while his changeup is the inverse and lives around the zone but doesnt usually have big action. Still, there are all kinds of hit tool red flags here, both in the data and in Williams visual scouting report. Its tough to be a 2-WAR DH every year (Bryce Harpers 2022 100-game line was good for 2 WAR), but Busch has the hit/power combination to do it. If he had somehow improved his throwing (which isnt terrible he could play short in an emergency), hed still be behind Oswald Peraza and Isiah Kiner-Falefa in this regard and would end up at second base anyway. As Jackson worked out on one field and minor leaguers played and took BP on the quads other three diamonds, he stood apart from the rest in virtually every way. Espino barely throws his low-90s changeup, but he still has good feel for locating it in an enticing location away from lefty batters, and even that and his rarely-used curveball (combined, he threw those pitches 8% of the time in 2021) could be above average at maturity. With some of the best bat-to-ball skills in last year's draft Jackson, impressed in his senior year, slashing .685/.749/1.392 in 41 games. Despite being this size at this age, which might typically cause long-term 1B/DH projection, Colliers defensive feet, hands, actions, and arm strength are all excellent, and make him a future plus third base defender. Henderson is a viable shortstop defender (for now) who has plus-plus plate discipline and power. Were taking the long view here and think Libby will find a way to be a fourth starter. Cleveland added him to their 40-man toward the end of last year but never optioned him, which means he still has three option years left for those defensive skills to percolate. 1 in the D1Baseball Top 25, which began in 2015. He has a 3.52 ERA and 120 strikeouts in 102.1 innings across two seasons. It can be found here. Cal Poly; 48. The league-wide statistical standard at third base is very high right now due to the depth of excellent players at the top of that position group, and when you compare Vargas tools and underlying data to what constitutes an average regular at the hot corner, he tends to hover around average in terms of both contact quality and frequency, and a little below when it comes to high-end power, which is consistent with his visual evaluation. Some of the volatile characteristics of his profile are still here. He does show an ability to move the barrel around and sizzle the baseball somewhere, often with tremendous force behind it. His walk rates reached career highs despite facing upper-level pitching for the first time in his life, and Meads underlying chase data (only 24%) was better than the big league average (33%). He was a model-friendly prospect because of his age and performance, and a scout-friendly prospect because of his relative polish (especially on defense), physicality, and showcase tools. In 2022, it garnered just 8% whiffs and 13% chase during his time at Double-A, where he spent most of the season. In a vacuum, though, he has a shot to have four plus pitches and an inning-eaters frame. Its fair to consider there to be subjective and persistent relief risk here related to Flores delivery and the length of his arm action. He took a throw to the face during extended spring training, but was back for the start of the Complex League season and was one of that leagues most dominant hitters, slashing .326/.403/.492 with a 13% K% and 10% BB%, and earning a promotion to full-season ball, which also went swimmingly (.299/.359/.505). 89CreightonBig East2NE2-12779677 His slider (Hall was almost exclusively a fastball/slider pitcher against lefties during his big league run) is firm and now has better movement demarcation from his curveball, which is easily his least-used offering, usually a backdoor option to righties. Theres front-end upside here, and while Painter is not a complete pitcher yet, the Phillies have promoted him at such a brisk pace that hes already on the precipice of the majors as a teenager. Miller will occasionally show you good secondary stuff. Williams has a prototypical baseball frame at a strapping 6-foot-2, and has the range, actions, and internal clock to remain at shortstop long-term, as well as a great infield arm. college analytics, and baseball card news. Elko, already a popular and accomplished player in college baseball, was elevated to cult hero status late last season, when he played on a torn ACL and thrived, hitting seven of his 16 total home runs after the injury. Casas spent most of 2022 with Triple-A Worcester and hit .273/.382/.481 there amid a two-month absence to recover from a high ankle sprain. His wispy, 6-foot-3 frame has room for another 30 pounds at least, and with that weight and strength could come huge raw thunder. While this might contribute to some of his in-zone and overall swing-and-miss rates (he posted a 77% Z-contact% and 72% overall contact% in 2022, both comfortably below the big league average), Henderson shows plenty of hitterish traits that instill confidence in his 2022 output. He has quick actions and his lateral agility is better than his long speed on the bases. He followed up his splashy 2021 with a 2022 tidal wave, reaching Double-A Chattanooga as a 20-year-old while tabulating over 70 extra-base hits and about 40 stolen bases. 1 in the D1Baseball Preseason Top 25 rankings for the first time ever. The top-ranked prospect in the 2021 draft, Mayer dropped to fourth overall, where the Red Sox were happy to scoop him up and sign him for a higher dollar amount than first overall pick Henry Davis.

The bat is Steers carrying tool and has been since his days at Oregon. 11 Last Week: 3-1 Overall: 5-2, 0-0 in SEC (1-1 vs. Top 25) Weekend Record: 2-0 Results Feb. 21: Grambling State: W 9-7 Feb. 24-26: Eastern Illinois: W 13-2 (7), W 10-3, L 12-3 Upcoming March 1: Illinois State March 3-5: Wright StateArkansas largely took care of business at home last week and won a series against Eastern Illinois. Across the 2022 calendar, Davis had nearly as many HBPs as he did extra-base hits, to which the wrist fracture likely contributed. He still isnt throwing a great many strikes with his fastball, but the improved command reinforces his viability as a starter, and he looks likely to make his big league debut this season. Even though hes still eons from the big leagues, the Cubs were compelled to put Alcantara on their 40-man roster during the offseason to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft. Domnguez also wasnt seen facing live pitching very much as an amateur, so while his showcase tools were evident, there wasnt as much confidence in his hit tool as is typical of a top-of-the-class prospect. He also features a looser breaking ball in his high-70s curveball, and his changeup flashes plus, but he hasnt yet maintained his feel for it, which may ultimately represent the difference between his future as a back-end starter and his viability as a solid number three. The Horned Frogs bats were held to 12 runs on the weekend, less than what they averaged last weekend in Arlington. Jameson sits 95-96 mph, touches 99, can add and subtract sink from his fastball, and his mid-80s slider is comfortably plus. All count against the team's salary cap. Florida State enters the Top 25 after winning a series at TCU. 2 overall prospect, then was shut down with what Miami described as arm fatigue.. It makes sense that there has been some second base experimentation here over the last few years, as Ramos range and actions make it plausible that he could eventually fit there, and Colson Montgomerys third base projection might force the issue. Frelick has a hit-over-power offensive skill set that fits in center field, where were projecting hell improve defensively over time. 32South CarolinaSEC10SC3-1418119 He sits 92-95 mph while touching higher with his carrying four-seam fastball, and like any good D-backs prospect, moves it well north-south while generating whiffs at the top of the zone; he also has a sinker as a change of pace. He rounds out his four-pitch mix with a mid-70s curveball that he threw just 6% of the time at Triple-A, but which accounted for 19% of his 0-0 offerings in his seven big-league starts, outranked in usage only by his fastball. Miller spent his freshman year at Blinn College, then pitched out of the Texas A&M bullpen as a sophomore and junior. Arroyo is a hard-swinging shortstop who is off to a much more powerful offensive start than was anticipated when he signed out of high school. 10) and Yankees shortstop Oswald Peraza (No. DeLauter only got to play 28 games for JMU in 2021 thanks to an already limited scheduling becoming more limited due to cancellations, but he made them count, hitting .386/.508/.723. Previous ranking: No. There might be more game power here than there is raw power, or at least more game power than youd expect from someone who has some approach-related red flags. He boasted one of the lowest walk rates (5.1%) among minor leaguers who notched at least 130 innings in 2022 and looks poised for a starter role in the near future. Bibee was a notable West Coast pitchability prospect for a while, but he never took a step forward at Fullerton and was passed over completely in the shortened 2020 draft. Even though both Davis and Rodriguez are near-ready catching prospects, they arent redundant, and in fact they complement each other well. In this case, Montgomerys bat seems to have already blossomed, while you can throw out the age-related concerns given that he has now proven himself at High-A. RHP Trey Yesavage Yesavage had a good year out of the bullpen in 2022 for the Pirates and now he looks to translate that into productive starts. Eder was a tantalizing but inconsistent high school prospect who at times would sit 94-97 mph, but often with scattershot control. Previous ranking: No. His swing is quite uphill from the left side and he can tend to swing underneath fastballs up and away from him, but overall he is very difficult to make whiff inside the strike zone despite his steep-launch style of contact. This years crop of prospects has a relatively shallow high-impact group at the very top of the list. Lewis missed a chunk of 2019 with an injury before losing all of 2020 to the pandemic. While especially adept at launching pitches on the inner third, Johnson also shows some ability to shorten up and cover the top and outer edge of the strike zone. His four-seamer sits comfortably around 96 mph with gravity-defying carry, and a scout Tess spoke with described his curveball as having the potential to become a similarly elite offering. Neto had an incredible statistical 2021, a performance he reinforced by hitting on Cape Cod and then again by hitting (checks notes) .407/.514/.769 (!) But if Eder does have to move to the bullpen, there might be another gear of velocity in the tank, which gives him the out of being a premium reliever with two plus-plus pitches. DI indoor T&F championship selections revealed, How La. Across the season as a whole, his fastball only sat 95 mph, and in his final start of the year it was mostly in the 93-96 mph range, which is a two-tick regression from 2021, when Rodriguez sat 96-98 all year. Teams 81-90 He started the season at High-A, advancing to Double-A in late May, where his strikeout rate increased slightly, but not at all to a concerning degree. The bat is impactful enough to consider him a high-probability big leaguer regular of some kind, even at the bottom of the defensive hierarchy. A famous prospect since his days as a high school underclassman, Turang has never been a sure bet to do enough offensively to be an impact everyday player. 23OklahomaBig 125OK217403527 He commands it consistently enough to his glove side to project as a starter. Before he got hurt, there were folks in baseball who considered him a top 30 prospect, so his ceiling is big enough to include him on the top 100 now even though hes coming off injury. Not all of the pitchers who showed a velocity increase during 2020 Instructional League activity, which came after the prolonged pandemic layoff, have sustained that bump. After hitting .278/.373/.556 with San Jose, he was promoted to High-A and struck out at a 37% clip during the final month of the season. This is another potential homegrown star for the Sox. Auburns biggest concern coming out of the weekend is the status of righthander Joseph Gonzalez, who was held out due to shoulder tightness. . After beginning his career as a reliever, Senga moved into the Fukuoka Hawks rotation in 2017 and has spent the last half decade as one of the better starters (and hardest-throwing pitchers) in all of NPB. Another candidate to Chourio, Ramirez is among the highest-variance prospects in the minors. INF Jonathan Vastine Vanderbilt is counting on the sophomore Vastine this spring and he didnt disappoint last week. His 2021 season got off to a delayed start because of a stress fracture in his left foot (he slashed .326/.398/.592 across 80 upper-level games thereafter) and Jung spent most of 2022 on the shelf rehabbing from surgery to repair a torn left labrum. This is mind blowing when you consider that Rafaela has only been playing the outfield for two years. So are his reads and routes in center field, which he runs well enough to play right now. His slider can bend in as hard as 94 mph and has late, two-plane finish. His desert lethargy was understandable, but its still the most recent thing the industry has seen. Jones had surgery, missed the back half of the summer and instructs, and only began hitting again in January. Weycker was lock-down out of the bullpen, striking out ten over 4.1 innings last Saturday. The junior righty went 5.2 innings, struck out four, and allowed two hits. Jones, like so much of the Stanford lineup, struggled mightily during the shortened 2020 season, but upon the start of the 2021 campaign, he looked like a different player. His swing is geared for pull-side damage. Suasc was part of a dynamic freshman one-two punch at Arizona last season alongside Berry. The identifiable visual tweak to the swing, the shift in batted ball profile, and Batys dramatic uptick in home runs are all indications that hes dialed in the details that have kept him vacillating between several FV tiers for the last couple of years. Teams 31-40 Auburn this weekend hosts Lipscomb, which is off to a solid start.

Others that made big jumps into the Top 100 include Central Michigan (No. He has a polished first step, actions, and internal clock, and enough arm strength for the left side of the infield. Fabian might not have had the kind of season he was hoping to have in 2021 in a general sense, as he hit just .249 and struggled with strikeouts, but he was still incredibly productive from a power standpoint with 20 home runs and he continued to be an excellent defensive player. Theres still mid-rotation potential here, its just not as in focus as it seemed to be a year ago. This is one of the toolsiest prospects in all the minors and one of the players on the Top 100 who has a chance to Chourio, i.e. 60Indiana StateMVC2IN31676NR94 93MinnesotaBig Ten8MN1-444972100 Abel is a prototypical power pitching prospect with huge arm strength, a plus breaking ball, and the frame to not only hold his velo all year but to perhaps keep throwing harder and harder until hes a No. He goes out of his way to try to throw while hes on the run, and he rarely makes anything look easy the way big league shortstops tend to, so we have him projected at second base. RHP Bryce Cunningham Vandys bullpen was lights out in week one and it all started with Cunningham, who struck out seven in four innings of relief. Davis skills and offensive style are tailored like those of Evan Gattis. Lesko is arguably the most polished and complete high school pitching prospect to come along in a decade. His footwork on throws to second is clunky and variable, which often impacts his throw times and accuracy, but the pure arm strength is in there. His 2022 line (.263/.339/.459) was solid if unspectacular, though some of the reduction from his performance in 2021 is simply due to exiting the Cal League for the more muted offensive environment in the Northwest. Allen sat 88-90 again as a junior and then, like many Cleveland pitching prospects, enjoyed a two-tick bump pretty quickly, sitting 90-93 throughout his first full season in pro ball, a velocity he maintained across 110 innings, many more than he had thrown during the pandemic-shortened year. He lacks the raw power of a typical big league first baseman, but Manzardos feel for sweet spot contact should enable him to clear the lofty offensive standard at that position. 69 to No. Hes a little more tightly wound than is typical for a big league shortstop, but Hendersons straight-line speed is plus and so is his defensive range, and his arm strength enables him to make some plays that many other infielders cant. There are still visual and underlying statistical indications that Naylor is going to end up with a below-average hit tool (his swing is so uphill that hell almost certainly be vulnerable to whiffs in the strike zone), but he has very impressive bat speed and power (especially for a catcher) that is weaponized by his selective approach, which targets the up-and-in quadrant of the zone. Soderstrom has widened and opened up his stance since the start of his professional career. Hall didnt throw harder in a relief role he was still parked in the 95-97 mph range and in fact his velo keeled off a little bit right at the very end of the season. A career .269/.374/.485 hitter in the minors, there are still some analysts who are skeptical Casas will make enough contact to profile comfortably as an above-average regular at first base.
