Not as sold on the hit tool as others seem to YouTube 4 Julio Rodriguez SEA OF 18 A+ R R 6' 4” 225 N/A No be. YouTube Last year's lack of power seems to have Twitter 5 Andrew Vaughn CWS 1B 21 A+/AA R R 6' 0” 214 N/A scared some people off. He's still a hit/power Yes Twitter machine. Solid major leaguer but I don't think the ceiling YouTube 6 Gavin Lux LAD 2B 22 MLB L R 6' 2” 190 N/A No is as high as the players ranked above. YouTube Hopefully he can keep the strikeouts in check enough to showcase his sexy power/speed 7 Kristian Robinson ARI OF 18 A/A+ R R 6' 3” 190 N/A No combo. Not as big as I was expecting from reading scouting reports. Racked up 25 XBH in 179 AB as a minor in rookie ball and A-. Showed excellent plate 8 Marco Luciano SF SS 18 A R R 6' 2” 178 N/A No recognition skills. Power will grow as he matures physically. The buy-low window has slammed shut thanks 9 Forrest Whitley HOU P 22 AAA R R 6' 7” 195 H ¾ No to a solid AFL performance. Three plus pitches and has already tasted the 10 Jesus Luzardo OAK P 22 MLB L L 6' 0” 209 H ¾ No majors. Multi Will be in the bigs sooner than later as AJ 11 MacKenzie Gore SD P 20 AAA L L 6' 3” 195 No ple Preller fights to keep his job. XL human. Would be starting his third MLB 12 A.J. Puk OAK P 24 MLB L L 6' 7” 238 H ¾ season if not for Tommy John at the beginning No of 2018. Last year's breakout prospect should be in the 13 Dylan Carlson STL OF 21 AAA S L 6' 3” 205 N/A No MLB sooner than later. A strong AFL has made some forget about his 14 Royce Lewis MIN SS 20 AA R R 6' 2” 200 N/A down season after entering 2019 as a top ten No prospect. The speedster has shown more pop than 15 CJ Abrams SD SS 19 A/A+ L R 6' 2” 185 N/A expected. He's an absolute burner and larger Yes than expected. Plus hit and power. Best catching prospect in 16 Adley Rutschman BAL C 21 A S R 6' 2” 216 N/A many years but not “best prospect since Bryce Yes Harper” good. Going to need to see more than BP videos to Rooki 17 Jasson Dominguez NYY OF 16 S R 5' 10” 190 N/A move a 16 year old into the top ten. Everything Yes e looks great though. Maybe the most divisive prospect in baseball due to high BABIP and less than ideal contact 18 Drew Waters ATL OF 20 AAA S R 6' 2” 183 N/A rates. I'm not going to hold a bad showing in No AAA against him. He was 20 and managed to collect 56 XBH throughout the season. Solid tools across the board but I don't think 19 Jarred Kelenic SEA OF 20 AA L L 6' 0” 196 N/A No any are higher than above-average. Rooki Five tool guy that still has a long way to go 20 Bobby Witt Jr. KC SS 19 R R 6' 1” 190 N/A Yes e before he reaches his offensive ceiling. Billed as a contact/speed guy. Showed 21 Corbin Carroll ARI OF 19 A L L 5' 10” 165 N/A surprising power last year with 18 XBH in 154 Yes PA. Big fastball. Lack of a third pitch and 22 Matt Manning DET P 21 AA R R 6' 6” 215 ¾ questionable command keeps him out of my No top tier of pitchers. Short. Whippy delivery. Don't care. Big 23 Sixto Sanchez MIA P 21 AAA R R 6' 0” 185 ¾ No fastball. No walks. Whippy delivery and lack of strikeouts keep 24 Dustin May LAD P 22 MLB R R 6' 6” 180 L¾ No him out of the top tier of pitchers. Started hot and faded down the stretch. 25 Casey Mize DET P 22 AA R R 6' 3” 220 H ¾ Concerns about highish arm slot. No Hyperabduction candidate. Short. Explosive fastball. Fantastic slider. 26 Luis Patino SD P 20 AA R R 6' 0” 192 H ¾ No Changeup is nowhere close to ready. Dominant last year. Big fastball. Average 27 Spencer Howard PHI P 23 AA R R 6' 2” 205 H ¾ No secondaries. Has never topped 116 IP. Kicked in the door at AA last year. Probably 28 Jeter Downs LAD SS 21 AA R R 5' 11” 180 N/A going to get thiccc and stop running but his No power hit and tools are still solid. Surprising power for his frame but still below 29 Vidal Brujan TB 2B 21 AAA S R 5' 9” 155 N/A No average. Plus hitter. Double plus runner. Prospectors soured on him after a small, 30 Carter Kieboom WAS SS 22 MLB R R 6' 2” 190 N/A No strikeout laden sample of MLB. He'll be fine Had a rough month in the majors last year and 31 Brendan Rodgers COL 2B 23 MLB R R 6' 0” 180 N/A tumbled down lists. Still has above average No contact and power. A victim of prospect fatigue, he still features a potential plus hit tool and plus-plus speed. He YouTube 32 Taylor Trammell SD OF 22 AA L L 6' 2” 215 N/A No also puts on a show in batting practice, so YouTube hopefully there's more power coming. 33 Alex Kirilloff MIN 1B 22 AAA L L 6' 2” 195 N/A Last year's lack of power was a huge buzzkill No Has never pitched more than 101.2 innings. 34 Nate Pearson TOR P 23 AAA R R 6'6” 245 H ¾ Several 70-80 grades on his fastball. Electric No arsenal. Questionable command and health. Not sure why everyone is all over Marte but Rooki 35 Luis Matos SF OF 17 R R 5' 11” 160 N/A not Matos. Showed off his speed, contact, and No e power in the lower levels last year. Prospect world is all over the place on this one. I've seen everything from 80 grade speed Rooki 36 Noelvi Marte SEA SS 18 R R 6' 1” 181 N/A to an Adrian Beltre comp. I think he gets No e bigger and loses his wheels. Still a solid piece without them. Big power. Struck out less than expected for a 37 Alec Bohm PHI 3B 23 AAA R R 6' 5” 225 N/A No guy with a “questionable” hit tool. Don't count on many batting stats despite a 38 Brendan McKay TB P 23 MLB L L 6' 2” 212 H ¾ few glowing scouting reports. Solid enough as No SP-only though. Above average tools across the board, including somewhat surprising power. Not 39 Alek Thomas ARI OF 19 A+ L L 5' 11” 175 N/A No good at stealing bases at the moment and struggled as a youngster at A+. Swing porn. Needs to calm down with the Rooki 40 George Valera CLE OF 19 L L 5' 10” 160 N/A strikeouts but the swing is so pretty that I have No e to assume he'll get it under control. Solid contact and power. Struck out a lot for a 41 Riley Greene DET OF 19 A L L 6' 3” 200 N/A Yes plus contact guy but was only 18. Standout fall league moved him up lists. Not 42 Josh Lowe TB OF 21 AAA L R 6' 4” 205 N/A No far enough, though. Another guy that turned heads at the AFL. Fast even though he has the natural build of a YouTube 43 Brandon Marsh LAA OF 21 AAA L R 6' 4” 215 N/A linebacker. Potential above average tools No YouTube across the board. Needs to develop consistency. Not much in-game power yet. Defied the haters and struck out only 18.6% at A ball as at 19. Many think the speed wont YouTube 44 Brennen Davis CHC OF 20 A R R 6' 4” 175 N/A No stay around but the power showed up this YouTube year. Rooki Showed off big power as a minor in the GCL. 45 Orelvis Martinez TOR 3B 18 R R 6' 1” 188 N/A No e Will not play SS for long. Love the power. Not buying that he's ever 46 Triston Casas BOS 1B 19 A+ L R 6' 4” 238 N/A more than a average contact guy despite No reports. Command issues and missing the entire 47 Michael Kopech CWS P 23 MLB R R 6' 3” 205 N/A No season slide him down the list. Pitched much better at the MLB level than at AAA, despite the inflated ERA. Big fastball, YouTube 48 Mitch Keller PIT P 23 MLB R R 6' 2” 210 H ¾ No nice breaking ball, mixed reports on the YouTube change. 49 Xavier Edwards TB 2B 20 A+ S R 5' 10” 175 N/A Blazing speed. No power. Not a shortstop. No Mets really managed his innings in the Simeon Woods beginning of the season but he made it to A+ 50 TOR P 19 A+ R R 6' 3” 210 H ¾ No Richardson as an 18 year old anyway. Three above average pitches and solid command.
