Were projecting heavily on Abels command in anticipation of him growing into his body and arm speed. Things arent so bad that hes in a red flag bust risk area because of his hit tool, but its enough that it will probably dial down how much in-game power hes actually getting to. The Tigers did their homework and signed him for an over-slot bonus in the fifth round, where many teams had written him off as unsignable. When Lee does take a comfortable hack, he shows you plus raw power, but his style of hitting is very balanced, and he doesnt sell out for huge pop all the time. Hes not quite as deft a hitter from the right side, but hes still plenty dangerous. 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. Long, lanky and loaded with tools and projection, Alcantara is a loose, 6-foot-6 outfielder with massive potential. His secondary pitch recognition is not good, and he both needs to stay at shortstop and continue getting to all of his considerable power for an everyday profile to hold water. Diaz is a viable defensive backstop, but he hasnt ever had to deal with the grind of a full season back there, peaking at 51 starts at catcher in 2021. 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. OF Vance Honeycutt A top freshman from a year ago, Honeycutt is already off to a hot start in 2023. 40. 44Cal State FullertonBig West2CA4-2915917 He has some outfield experience but very little in pro ball, and he doesnt exactly look like a fish in water out there. There are aspects of his swing that are very exciting and consistent with great big league hitters (his raw power and bat speed are uncommon for a shortstop, while his bent-at-the-waist hitting posture is akin to Mike Trouts and Dylan Crews), but his bat path is fairly grooved, and here the projection is that when the cement dries on Lawlars hit tool, it will be a little south of average. 55Central MichiganMAC1MI2N/ANRNRNR Leiter was wild in his first full season, but we dont want to come off him too severely since he has looked like a solid fourth starter basically every other year hes been on the prospect radar. Caminero has a big leg kick, loads his hands low, and swings with bloodthirsty effort, with plus bat speed driving big pull-side power. 31ClemsonACC7SC2-8232424 Sheer unpredictability and velocity allow Miller to bully the strike zone without precision and still stay off barrels, while his well-executed pitches miss bats. Barger then went to the Arizona Fall League, where his left-handed bat speed stood out among lots of other good hitting prospects. 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. Only 37 of the 112 ranked players here are pitchers. Look under the hood and there is cause for concern.

As of list publication, Rodriguez is one of just two catchers on Pittsburghs 40-man roster, and while its possible hes beaten out by a veteran non-roster invitee like Tyler Heineman or Kevin Plawecki, Rodriguezs defensive chops and versatility give him a shot to break camp with the big club, split time with Austin Hedges, and moonlight at one or two other positions before eventually seizing the primary catcher job. He has also seen a lot of time at first base and, more recently, a little bit in the outfield corners. High-risk hitters with huge tools are also welcome since FV is a subjective way to factor both ceiling and risk into the same grade. Even as he has become more and more muscular entering his 20s, he has maintained a freaky level of flexibility, which he attained by stretching four times per day.

His fastball now sits 95-99 mph, up seven ticks from his college days, and while it currently relies heavily on its velocity rather than its below-average shape, a scout we spoke with was optimistic regarding the 22-year-olds ability to continue to improve the offering, singing Graceffos praises when it comes to his work ethic. Meanwhile, his changeup hasnt yet made the necessary strides to consistently play against advanced righty hitters, and his overall command has plateaued.

He certainly continued that success, lasting five innings against Indiana, allowing just two hits. He did this amid multiple wrist injuries, which is something to keep in the back of your mind in the event that it becomes a chronic issue, as Woods wrists are an integral part of keeping his swing short enough to be manageable. His actions are lightning quick, but his range, ability to bend, the suredeness of his hands, and his arm accuracy all look less consistent.

A somewhat frustrating blend of exciting elements, Liberatore features a four-pitch mix and each of his offerings is at least average, which presents as an obvious starters foundation. De La Cruz has the most exciting combination of tools and defensive fit in the minors, a switch-hitter with plus-plus power, speed, arm strength, and all-around athleticism, as well as a somewhat more consistent look at shortstop than he had a year ago, even at 6-foot-5. After an uptick in fastball velocity a couple of years ago, Olsons four-seamer is still resting comfortably around 94-95 mph.

He made six appearances with the big league squad (four of them starts) for a total of 33 innings and lasted at least five frames in all but one of them (his only shorter appearance was in relief, and he pitched the final 3.2 innings of the game).

He pitched a couple innings on the complex, skipped Low-A, threw seven High-A innings, skipped Double-A, then closed the season out with two appearances in Las Vegas and a stint in the Fall League.
