His Trackman data makes clear why his offense is so worthy of this line of development. Prezs fastball shape operates to the east and west of the zone. 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. His pop times are routinely in the 1.85-1.95 range in part because Endy has a strong arm, but also because hes almost always leaving his crouch before he even receives the pitch on steal attempts, which hastens his exchange. He hardly threw his changeup at all (just 6% usage), and his numbers against lefties were particularly affected by its omission. After taking their first loss of the season Saturday, the Cardinals came back strong Sunday to clinch the series win. Eders delivery has changed since college. 50LibertyA-Sun1VA325758155 In fact, his fastball locations are still pretty scattered and his delivery remains quite violent. Neither his slider nor changeup is fully baked quite yet, but if either (or both) become viable, they would bring with them a higher probability that Priester slots in as a mid-rotation starter. Olsons plus secondary stuff helps make him a potential starter even though he doesnt throw strikes with his fastball. Like DeLauter, Neto made people sit up and take notice of a player putting up huge numbers at a mid-major program. As far as defensive projection is concerned, a boxy frame, medium straight line speed, and an awkward running gait push and pull against Mayers defensive instincts, first-step quickness, and strong arm. Lee has fantastic breaking ball recognition, and he can let pitches travel deep before deciding whether to swing. He started the 2022 season at Triple-A and wasnt quite as dominant as hed been at the close of 2021, with just a 21.5% strikeout rate throughout April and May. For instance, Merrills hard-hit rate in 2022 was nearly 44%, which is already well above the average big league shortstops mark (35%). Once a two-way prospect, Winns skills in the batters box quickly won out, and hes been developed solely as a position player. All rights reserved. Previous ranking: No. He has been a hot knife slicing butter all the way through Double-A and shows little signs of stopping. Theres an All-Star-caliber hit and power combination here, and while a bigger pro data sample might reveal some approach-related issues, Johnson has been one of the best hitters his age for going on a half decade and feels like a relatively high-probability high school hitting prospect. It seemed plausible he might eventually grow into meaningful power, too. 19Oklahoma StateBig 124OK1-1172119 Minnesota sent Lee to High-A almost immediately and he raked there, blowing scouts away. For instance, Marte isnt easy to beat in the strike zone. This sort of offensive player would be a good everyday third baseman and a star shortstop. He has terrific breaking ball recognition, uses his whole body to maneuver the barrel around the zone, and can let pitches travel deep before driving them the other way, and Henderson is strong enough to do damage to left field even when hes late or mis-hits a pitch. Despite some of the length and violence in Millers delivery, hes demonstrated that he can sustain elite velocity deep into each start, throw strikes, and (so far) keep his arm healthy, as his only career IL stint was for an oblique strain. His lefty swing is more powerful while his righty cut is more contact-oriented. You can do some thought exercises around where hed go were Noelvi a 21-year-old draft prospect, or play would you rather with the names of other prospects to try to triangulate where he should fall on the FV scale, and all of that went into placing him here. Previous ranking: No. Manzardo hasnt hit a single speed bump in pro ball and moved into the Top 100 during the middle of 2022 on the strength of his statistical performance and visual feel to hit. It shows above-average arm-side action on occasion, but hes only throwing it 12% of the time. Previous ranking: No. Despite being rough around the edges (remember Cappe waited an extra year to sign so he could get more money from the Marlins and has played a full season less than the typical 20-year-old prospect), he has a great tools and projection foundation that is now being reinforced by early-career performance, most notably from a bat-to-ball standpoint. He spent a year at a JUCO, where he was good but not totally dominant, to the consternation and befuddlement of some scouts. The transfer outfielder will look to anchor this NC State lineup that lost key pieces over the offseason. 13Florida StateACC2FL2-67711 Cross was fairly unknown going into the 2021 season, but that changed quickly once he established himself as one of the best hitters in the country on the way to putting up a .345/.415/.621 slash line. After slashing .251/.326/.494 at Aberdeen, the 20-year-old was promoted to Bowie for the stretch run. Whites stuff continues to shine when hes healthy, which is especially impressive given the amount of time hes lost. After playing some winter ball for Gigantes del Cibao, Marte saw 520 regular season plate appearances, changed organizations as the highest-profile prospect in the blockbuster Luis Castillo trade in the midst of those, went to Germany as part of Team Spains WBC qualifier roster, and then came back to the US and played for another six weeks in the Fall League. His delivery is freaky loose, particularly in his upper back and shoulders, which we think portends better future command than hes shown so far in Oakland. His rare raw thump has already begun to manifest in games, as Cartaya clubbed 22 homers in 2022, a season after he dealt with multiple injuries that severely limited his playing time.

His stuff has gotten even better under the tutelage of Clevelands player dev system, and he dominated during his 2021 full season debut, putting up a strikeout rate north of 40% while shortening his arm action and altering his slot to impart more vertical movement on his heater. The plate discipline piece is well below average but everything else is above. Tech. He was seen a ton as a junior because he played at IMG, which was home to a lot of 2021 draft prospects and served as competition for others. Nelson spent most of his college career in the bullpen showing huge stuff, fringe command, and repertoire depth that led to optimism surrounding his development as a starter. 2023 Fantasy Baseball Top 100 . 51HoustonAmerican2TX7-7442729 Julien has perhaps the best plate discipline in the minors and can bang em when he actually swings. 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. Because he participated in Team USA and showcase events from a very young age, Collier generated an inordinate amount of amateur data. Still, Chourio has big-ceiling company in that part of the leaderboard names like Byron Buxton and Adolis Garca are down there, and Julio Rodrguez isnt far away. 36Georgia TechACC9GA26423634 The play clock was ticking down and Riley leaned over to the official and signaled for a timeout with a second left on the play clock. Despite the extreme amount of chase, Rafaela only Kd at a 21% rate and also doubled his previous career high in homers with 21. 65Georgia SouthernSun Belt6GA3N/ANR9284 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. Virginia has one more week of non-conference play before its schedule stiffens with ACC competition. Its possible he was gassed at that point, but his late-2021 and early-2022 backfield defensive look was similar, and its rare for shortstops to be this size. In 2022, he dominated the upper levels (.260/.374/.511) and made his big league debut at age 20 with a five-game cup of coffee. Working with a private instructor on a daily basis during the pandemic, Volpe completely re-engineered his swing, which now produces impact power, especially for a middle infielder. He has a polished first step, actions, and internal clock, and enough arm strength for the left side of the infield. There will probably be a consistent hole against fastballs up and away for Domnguez. He looked the part last week against Bucknell, going 6.1 innings, striking out nine, and allowing just one run. In fact, this marks the first time the Longhorns have ever been ranked No. Lots of scouts think he ultimately projects in relief, but hes holding his velocity deep into games and has some other pitchability traits that suggest he could continue to start. Bibee now looks like a polished mid-rotation prospect. Its possible he was gassed from playing a career-high 132 games during the regular season, and these issues are uncharacteristic of Rocchio. The Padres pitching development track record isnt great and perhaps theyre not the team best suited to coax a great breaking ball out of Lesko, but as long as his stuff is the same coming off of TJ, hes already in position to project as a 50. 1 Last Week: 3-1 Overall: 6-1, 0-0 in SEC (0-0 vs. Top 25) Weekend Record: 2-0 Results Feb. 21: @ Southern: W 18-4 Karbach Round Rock Classic (Round Rock, Texas) Feb. 24: vs. Kansas State: W 7-3 Feb. 25: vs. Iowa: L 12-4 Feb. 26: vs. Sam Houston State: W 16-4 Upcoming Feb. 28: @ Texas March 3: Butler March 4-5: Central Connecticut StateLSU took its first loss of the season Saturday against Iowa, but bounced back to rout Sam Houston State to be named champion of the Karbach Round Rock Classic.

He was sitting 95-99 mph throughout entire outings, and punched out at least eight hitters in each of his final 11 starts, culminating in a 13 K postseason outing against Vanderbilt when his stock reached its pinnacle.

Turang can really play shortstop, has feel for the strike zone, and makes a fair amount of contact. 4/5 starter on a contender. Lucianos bat speed is incredible but his barrel accuracy is not. 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. So compact and short to the baseball is Rodriguez that he can wait an extra beat to diagnose pitch types, which enables him to make in-flight adjustments to breaking balls, spoil the well-located ones, and crush the hangers.
