He was working with low-90s velocity and a shapely, low-80s breaking ball at that time. Here hes projected to continue to improve on defense as he gets more experience, which would make him perhaps the best defensive center fielder in baseball at peak. He lacks precise command, but he throws enough strikes to start and bully hitters with his velocity and slider for five and six innings at a time. A decade ago, players with no professional experience were not considered viable draft picks, even in most deeper settings. 1. Its a tall order for a prospect who already has some hit tool risk. It plays as an above-average offering even though Allens raw arm strength is comfortably below average. 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.

Toronto didnt accelerate his promotion schedule to make up for the lost time, so he began 2021 back at Low-A as a 21-year-old and (mostly) flew under the FanGraphs prospect radar as an old-for-the-level player until 2022, when Barger hammered High- and Double-A pitching as a 22-year-old. The tailing shape on his heater is suboptimal but at times helps him miss a bat. Wiemer has a rare size/athleticism combination and wields an elaborate swing that produces huge pull-side power. He has a simple, well-leveraged swing that takes advantage of his strength, and the long levers that come with his 6-foot-5, 220 pound frame produce jaw-dropping home runs when he really squares one up.

Parada was the rare high-profile California high schooler who left the state for college, traveling all the way to Atlanta for two years at Georgia Tech. He actually looks more comfortable and accurate making max-effort throws from deep in the hole than he does when moving toward the first base line. His patient approach and bat-to-ball skills are enough to make him a high-probability primary backstop. House started the 2022 season very hot, slashing .325/.408/.449 with a 141 wRC+ at High-A through April before injuring his back in early May and sitting out a couple of weeks.

The offensive bar in left is at roughly the same level as third base and if we project Vargas to be able to play a neutral left field (hes below average right now but looks better than he ever has at third), it actually buoys his overall profile because his third base defense was pulling it down. But that said, there will always be deep, competitive dynasty leagues to take a shot on the unknown is a viable strategy. He slid within this FV tier but his grade didnt change, and hes still a pretty good bet to be a no. But from June on, he was markedly more effective, boosting that K-rate to just shy of 30%, while bringing his walk rate down. For example, based on Craigs research, the average 60 FV hitter on a list becomes a perennial 5-plus WAR player over his six controlled years 26% of the time, and has a 27% chance of accumulating, at most, a couple of WAR during his six controlled years.

The issue is that its nearly impossible to predict which player it will be. Julien hit 17 dingers and slashed .278/.398/.556 as a freshman at Auburn, then was ruled draft-eligible as a 20-year-old sophomore not because of his age, but because he had attended a year of secondary school in Canada before heading to college, which made him three years removed from high school.

He now sits 96 mph and will touch as high as 102, though he typically tops out at 99 in any given start. March 1, 2023. Alfredo Duno, C, VenezuelaDuno has a chance to have at least three above-average tools -- field, arm and power -- as he develops and emerges as one most interesting prospects in the class. Still, lvarez was 20 and facing Double- and Triple-A pitching, and its prudent to project growth in this area. Baty has also consistently been a high groundball rate hitter, at least 51% at every full-season level until his 42% mark with Double-A Binghamton in 2022, where he spent the bulk of the year. Manzardo put up video game numbers at Washington State, slashing .336/.404/.533 during his time with the Cougars and walking nearly as much as he struck out during his draft year. It is alright to target one of the premium talents early if you believe in him. So far in pro ball, Wood has been incredible. By his senior year of high school, Holliday already had. He tends to work contact to center and right field, especially against fastballs, and he has a clear two-strike approach where he ditches his leg kick and takes a more conservative swing. He shares many similarities with Eduardo Escobar. He has very little experience at second and looked okay making routine plays there during the few reps he got in 2022, but its tough to project him there full-time based on how his range, hands, and actions look at third. Here hes projected as a bat-only player. He must turn 16 before he signs and be 17 before Sept. 1 the following year -- in practical terms, that means players born between Sept. 1, 2005, and Aug. 31, 2006, will be eligible to sign in the upcoming signing period. Back in Port St. Lucie to start 2022, Ramirez was red hot for the first month of the season, slashing a whopping .385/.423/.606 while cutting his strikeout rate by about 42% (from 31% to 18%), though his walk rate also dipped. Instead of a short stride toward the mound, his step is toward the plate, maintaining the width as he closes his stance, with quick lower-body rotation as he muscles the barrel through the zone. Davis was on the IL multiple times in 2022 with issues stemming from a small nondisplaced fracture of his left wrist that he suffered when he was hit by a pitch in May. His first step can be a little delayed, but Jones huge strides eat up tons of ground in the outfield, and he gallivants into the gaps, robs would-be doubles, and has a runner-sniping arm. Roderick Arias, SS, Dominican Republic - Yankees ($4,000,000) More 2. He can be beaten with high velocity more regularly than anything else, but if pitchers miss and catch too much of the meat of the zone, that mistake is going to get hit hard somewhere. 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. The huge swing doesnt detract from Netos feel for contact, which he made plenty of during an aggressive post-draft assignment to Double-A.

Johanfran Garcia, C, Venezuela Red Sox ($850,000) More 35. Harrisons fastball sits 93-94 mph, topping out around 98, and it plays up thanks to its shape and the deceptively low lefty arm slot Harrison hurls it from.

He worked in the 89-93 mph range as a high schooler, then exploded in college, hitting 100 mph as a freshman and sustaining upper-90s velocity when he finally moved to the rotation as a fourth-year junior in 2021. Hassells performance tanked after the Juan Soto trade, and he broke his hamate in Arizona after the regular season. Miller pairs the heater with a sharp, mid-80s slider and locates both with consistency, good for a combined 50% strikeout rate, while issuing just three walks across 14 innings in 2022. Of the teenage hitters on the list, Zavalas feel to hit is probably the most polished.

He made his debut with Cubas Serie Nacional with Sancti Spiritus in 2021 and defected later in the year while playing for the Cuban U-23 team in Mexico. A plus athlete, Neto does some acrobatic things at shortstop and when he puts his whole body into a throw, he appears to have plenty of arm for the left side. Hes poised to start his age-22 season at Triple-A and likely make his big league debut at some point in 2023, perhaps usurping Gleyber Torres as the everyday second baseman if it becomes clear that Volpe is a superior offensive option. He is stiff and bulky and not a lock to stay at third for a myriad of reasons. Tiedemann has shifted toward the first base side of the rubber and has closed off his stride direction slightly, which creates additional deception in his already-funky low-slot lefty delivery. Bonus Pools For 2023 International Signing Market. He shows good plate discipline and doesn't swing and miss often.

Cristhian Vaquero, OF, Cuba Nationals ($4,925,000) More 3. The funk-factor made up for a slight dip in velocity; the heater sat in the 94-95 range, but he still managed whiff and chase rates well above average on the offering as he made his way from Low- to Double-A in his first year of pro ball. When the season was over and the statistical dust settled, Chourio wrapped with a 67% Contact% and 76% Z-Contact%, both of which would be in the bottom five of big league center fielders with at least 300 PA in 2022. A slower curveball and occasional mid-80s changeup give Jameson the weapons to work through a lineup multiple times even though theyre just fair. The swing particulars of an 18-year-old arent especially important, and Colliers skill set gives him star-level ceiling, this is just a specific, key area to be sensitive to as he develops. }); Drafted: 2nd Round, 2019 from Morgan Academy HS (AL) (BAL), Drafted: 1st Round, 2019 from Lakeside HS (WA) (ARI), Drafted: 2nd Round, 2021 from IMG Academy (SDP), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2019 from Dominican Republic (MIA), Drafted: 1st Round, 2021 from Calvary Christian HS (PHI), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2018 from Dominican Republic (CIN), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2021 from Venezuela (MIL), Drafted: 1st Round, 2022 from Wesleyan HS (GA) (ARI), Drafted: 1st Round, 2022 from Stillwater HS (OK) (BAL), Drafted: 1st Round, 2021 from Severna HS (SDP), Drafted: 1st Round, 2019 from Delbarton HS (NJ) (NYY), Drafted: 1st Round, 2020 from Decatur HS (GA) (STL), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2018 from Venezuela (NYM), Drafted: 1st Round, 2020 from Harvard Westlake HS (CA) (NYM), Drafted: 1st Round, 2021 from Jesuit Prep HS (ARI), Drafted: 5th Round, 2020 from Bellarmine (ARI), Drafted: 1st Round, 2018 from Central Heights HS (TX) (BAL), Drafted: 1st Round, 2021 from Eastlake HS (CA) (BOS), Drafted: 1st Round, 2022 from Cal Poly (MIN), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2021 from Dominican Republic (BOS), Drafted: 1st Round, 2022 from Mays HS (GA) (PIT), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2018 from Dominican Republic (NYM), Drafted: 1st Round, 2019 from Lake Travis HS (TX) (NYM), Drafted: 3rd Round, 2021 from Golden West College (TOR), Drafted: 1st Round, 2020 from Jesuit HS (OR) (PHI), Drafted: 3rd Round, 2020 from De La Salle HS (CA) (SFG), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2017 from Australia (PHI), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2018 from Venezuela (LAD), Drafted: 1st Round, 2018 from American Heritage HS (FL) (BOS), Drafted: 1st Round, 2020 from Turlock HS (CA) (OAK), Drafted: 1st Round, 2019 from Texas Tech (TEX), Drafted: 2nd Round, 2018 from Carson HS (NC) (TEX), Drafted: 1st Round, 2020 from Louisville (LAD), Drafted: 5th Round, 2019 from Wayne State (HOU), Drafted: 1st Round, 2021 from Southridge HS (IN) (CHW), Drafted: 4th Round, 2020 from Stoneman Douglas HS (FL) (BAL), Drafted: 5th Round, 2018 from Redan HS (GA) (TBR), Drafted: 1st Round, 2021 from Louisville (PIT), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2016 from Venezuela (NYY), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2017 from Venezuela (COL), Drafted: 2nd Round, 2021 from Washington State (TBR), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2019 from Dominican Republic (COL), Drafted: 2nd Round, 2020 from Kingwood HS (TX) (STL), Drafted: 1st Round, 2018 from St. Joan of Arc HS (CAN) (CLE), Drafted: 1st Round, 2019 from North Carolina (LAD), Drafted: 3rd Round, 2019 from Oregon (MIN), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2017 from Cuba (LAD), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2017 from Curacao (BOS), Signed: July 2nd Period, 2019 from Dominican Republic (NYY), Drafted: 23rd Round, 2018 from St. John the Baptist HS (NY) (PHI), Drafted: 2nd Round, 2021 from Central Pointe Christian (FL) (SEA), Drafted: 6th Round, 2018 from C.
