Williams injury history is concerning, but hes talented enough to make a big league impact in the middle of Clevelands 2023 rotation. In totality, Miller made 24 starts (if you count his Futures Game outing), worked 113 innings and posted a top-25 K-BB% among minor leaguers who threw at least 100 frames. With ace Hunter Elliott dealing with some tightness, Rivas will need to step up big for Ole Miss. Cal Poly; 48. A skilled but impatient hitter who can really pick it, Tovar is poised to be the Rockies everyday shortstop and probably will be for a while. Hes hit 57 home runs combined the last two years while running sub-30% groundball rates and average launch angles in the 22-25 degree range, both of which are extreme by big league standards. 59Missouri StateMVC1MO1-22374049 Yorke was the biggest surprise of the 2020 drafts first round. Romos offensive performance is impressive considering he only turned 21 near the end of the 2022 season, though in another sense its troubling because hes such a physical guy and yet has such poor ball-striking power. What a difference a year makes. By the end of the year he was late on any sort of real velocity, struggling to get on top of fastballs up and away from him, and spraying most of his contact down the third base line, unable to turn on much of anything. 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. Hes now a bounce back prospect. 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. But from June on, he was markedly more effective, boosting that K-rate to just shy of 30%, while bringing his walk rate down. Prior to his fifth-round selection in the 2021 draft, Graceffo had been Villanovas Friday starter, routinely called upon to throw well over 100 pitches per outing. The SEC also occupies six of the top eight spots, and nine of the top 20. In the Tar Heels first five games, the sophomore outfielder is 7 for 19 with a pair of extra-base hits and drove in four. 40. Its hard to make any assumptions about him based on his shortened 2022 season, but he still looks like the same type of player hes been historically, assuming the power comes back when hes fully healthy and that the back issue isnt a persistent one. After missing nearly all of the shortened 2020 season, Lee broke out in 2021, hitting .342/.384/.626 with 27 doubles, 10 home runs and 57 RBIs for his father and coach Larry at Cal Poly. Georgia; 34. Tech. Hassells performance tanked after the Juan Soto trade, and he broke his hamate in Arizona after the regular season. The floor here is XL Freddy Galvis with worse defense, but there will be some peak seasons where more of the power plays and he produces like a star. Unique defensive versatility (C/2B/OF) and premium feel for contact make Rodriguez a core part of Pittsburghs future. In 2021, he moved into the Aggies rotation, and while his fastball would peak at 95-98 mph, hed typically settle in at 92-94 as a starter and still had issues with walks. A complete prospect and a total baseball rat, Lawlar had been a touted amateur as an underclassman and held serve as a near top-of-the-class talent for two or three years, even amid the volatility of the 2020 draft process. Yes, hes reached Triple-A, but this is a 21-year-old were talking about here. Now its time to unveil the entire Top 100, in chart form. He struggles to set up his slider with well-located fastballs, and even when he does its not a given that hell land the slider after its been set up. 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. 23OklahomaBig 125OK217403527 These polls, along with the Perfect Game USA poll, rank the top 25 teams nationally. Lawlars throwing stroke to first base can sometimes be a little odd, but he finds all kinds of crazy ways to contort his body and send the baseball where it needs to go, which is especially true of his feeds to second base. But while these setbacks may indicate hes not quite the stud his draft position wouldve implied, we think there will be bounce back in 2023 and beyond. 72Sam Houston StateSouthland1TX8-25473274 His ability to do this consistently is surprising considering that Peraza is a fairly aggressive hitter in general, likely to run OBPs in the .310-.320 range. Just seven games into his 2021 minor league season, Carroll sustained a posterior capsular avulsion fracture and a labrum tear during a swing on which he homered. Many other teams knew of Carter, but did not know his prospectdom in a thorough sense; some thought he was unsignable, others were entirely unaware of him, as we were. 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. Henderson, still just the age of a college draft prospect, had one of the best offensive performances in minor league baseball in 2022 and made his big league debut late in the season. His peak exit velocities are absurd for a teenager, and while his breaking ball recognition and overall plate discipline are both crude, his in-zone feel for contact is also very promising. 16NC StateACC5NC28242525 Hes only ever played shortstop in affiliated ball but saw time at third base in LIDOM, where he understandably looked uncomfortable at times. He was back in 2022 long enough to make his major league debut, but re-tore his ACL in late May and will be out until later this summer. His fastball velocity is down, in the 92-94 mph range, a far cry from Priesters upper-90s peak. 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. 95SamfordSoCon2AL4N/ANRNRNR Vanderbilt heads North this weekend to take on a trio of Big Ten opponents in the Cambria College Classic at U.S. Bank Stadium, the home of the Minnesota Vikings. 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. The other biggest climbers are Virginia Tech (up 45 spots), Louisiana Tech (up 43), Maryland (up 33) and Oregon (up 26). He walked at hefty 15% clip in June, three times as much as he had to that point in the season, and his strikeout rate barely moved even though he was running deeper counts. It plays as an above-average offering even though Allens raw arm strength is comfortably below average. Here's the full conference-by-conference breakdown: ACC (12 of 14 teams landed in the Top 100), Pac-12 (8 of 11), Big Ten (8 of 13), Big 12 (7 of 9), Sun Belt (7 of 14), American (5 of 8), Big West (4 of 9), Conference USA (4 of 8). Hamstring issues aside, Merrill is a pretty good bet to stay at shortstop. Knee and hamstring surgery effectively knocked him out for the 2020 season, then Lee hit .341/.384/.626 in 2021 and had a huge summer on Cape Cod, with six homers in just 21 games. His power combined with his speed and defensive fit in center field give him rare upside as a 30-plus home run center fielder hitting at or near the top of whatever lineup hes in. His swing is a little odd and upright, and his hands load with a bit of a hitch, but he is still able to guide the barrel around the zone and produce shocking raw power for such a lithe teenage hitter. So are his reads and routes in center field, which he runs well enough to play right now. Previous ranking: No. Hes such a good athlete with such polished baseball aptitude (the Rays field staff raves about it unprompted) that this forecast expects him to make the necessary adjustments to do so. 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. 67VCUA-101VA525927675 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. But Browns fastball has the sort of action that gives pitchers margin for error in the strike zone, and his stuff is so nasty that he can be imprecise and still beat hitters. Previous ranking: No. Previous ranking: No. Unfortunately, his season was interrupted (and maybe compromised) by a back injury that cost him all of June and July, and he only played in 57 games throughout the season. Mayers gorgeous left-handed swing produces impact power for a shortstop. Barger has huge left-handed bat speed and a shot to stay on the dirt, just not at shortstop. Latest AP and USA Today college sports polls on ESPN.com. While he can ambush high pitches, especially up-and-in, and show you close to average peak pop, Turang had not slugged over .400 in any pro season until he saw Triple-A in 2022. Quants and front office analyst types are more bearish, citing issues with Priesters fastball playability. While he could stand to be a little more consistent on defense (many balls got through him early this past winter with Licey), the range, bend, hands, and arm strength to play short are all comfortably here. Both can be in the lineup every night because of Rodriguezs defensive versatility and the universal DH, and a more liberal timeshare behind the plate might help keep them both healthier and more consistently productive on offense. The Aggies were nearly swept, needing a three-run, ninth-inning rally Sunday to salvage a game against the Pilots. Previous ranking: No. Even with Justin Turners departure, the Dodgers are better equipped at third base than they are in the outfield, so Vargas is poised to see time at second base and in left field in 2023. Now its time to unveil the entire Top 100, in chart form. 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. His curveball has a 12-6 shape, and hes deployed the pitch to particularly devastating effect against left-handed opponents; between the two levels, only one lefty has recorded a hit on the curveball. He is stiff and bulky and not a lock to stay at third for a myriad of reasons. Lawlar is a slick shortstop defender with big power and a somewhat shaky hit tool. His frame makes him pretty likely to slow down with age, but as he fills out hell probably grow into elite raw power. window.FGWebsite_head_section.buildProspectsListTop100Controls(); Merrill only hit .325/.387/.482 in 45 Cal League games, a line good for a 125 wRC+ in the hitter-friendly league and aided by a .393 BABIP. His range and actions at third base are both fantastic, and hes an accurate thrower from all sorts of awkward platforms, but there are times when he lollipops deeper (and even some routine) throws over to first base. Weve concluded he does. He needs to improve at framing pitches in the bottom of the zone, especially breaking balls, which he tends to let travel too deep, making them appear to be below the zone. However, this type of swing also makes it tough to scoop underneath low pitches. He was a known bat-first prospect from California but time off recovering from a shoulder surgery and the pandemic made him tough to properly evaluate before the draft, tough enough that he was not generally seen as a first round prospect. His raw power has improved considerably over the last two years, and at age 19, he already has thunderous pull-side pop and is lifting the ball consistently in games. Nelson used his fastball about 65% of the time in 2021 and 61% in 2022, both at the upper boundary of what is typical for a big league starter. Barger can really cut it loose and is a threat to do damage on every swing. The Seminoles jump into the No. 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. Previous ranking: No. His hands work with natural lift, but Busch keeps their path short and on time, and he can move the barrel all over the zone. 2023 Round Rock Baseball Classic: Schedule, how to watch LSU, Iowa, K-State, Sam Houston; First No. If things click, hell be a star. A high-probability shortstop with a long-limbed, projectable frame, Hernandez was your traditional international amateur who excels in a workout environment. Hes going to be a star if he ends up with even average raw power, and even if he doesnt, were talking about a switch-hitting catcher who can make an impact on both offense and defense. 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. Before his departure for ESPN, Kiley McDaniel used the great work of our former colleague Craig Edwards to find the base rates for each FV tier of prospect (separately for hitters and pitchers), and the likelihood of each FV outcome. 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. He doesnt have huge raw juice (his peak exit velos are in the 106-108 mph range a bit shy of big league average, but still good for a player Arroyos age), and his bat-to-ball and chase rate stats are comfortably below average, but Arroyo lifts the baseball with remarkable consistency. 2021 SEASON:Mississippi State takes down Vanderbilt to win program's first title| Full CWS bracket |Top 2021 MLB draft prospects 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. He does not take casual BP hacks he maxes out and swings with all-out effort, which extends to his in-game approach, a feature that gives some scouts pause and worry that big league pitchers will pull the rug out from under him. Theres no present danger that he needs to revisit third base (which he played plenty of in high school and early in pro ball) or anything like that, and Naylor continues to project as a 2-WAR primary catcher. 2023 Fantasy Baseball Top 100 . The FV grade is more important than the ordinal ranking. Already armed with plus-plus velocity after coming out of a Division-II school in Michigan, Brown has added a plus-plus curve and slider since turning pro. 42IndianaBig Ten3IN2-10323123 45BaylorBig 126TX6-11346259 He was excellent over the summer with USA Baseballs Collegiate National Team as well, striking out 10 in six innings. Considering how strong he is and how much contact he makes, there is a shocking dearth of measurable, high-quality contact happening here. Those metrics illustrate the way Manzardos skill set is tailored. Athlon Sports is taking a look at the Top 25 college baseball teams in the NCAA. He has quick actions and his lateral agility is better than his long speed on the bases. Previous ranking: No. 1 team in the land in the latest D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings. 15VirginiaACC4VA1-31252 1 team loses in college baseball, as Iowa dominates top-ranked LSU, Trio of heavy-hitters down three top-10 teams Friday night in college baseball, Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Information. The change made Henderson a dominant offensive force even though he continued to swing and miss at a worse-than-average rate, and he slashed .297/.416/.531 combined at Double-A Bowie and Triple-A Norfolk before being called up to Baltimore for the last month of the season. He dealt with a litany of issues as an amateur, as benign as a fractured finger and as severe as back issues that had some teams drop him from their draft boards. Turang is so defensively gifted that he is almost certain to have a significant and lengthy big league career, especially now that shifting is banned. With just under a month remaining until opening weekend of the 2022 college baseball season, D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers and Aaron Fitt sat down with us to break down their preseason top 25. In 2021, he hit .288/.400/.502 with 11 home runs. Lefties with plus command and plus changeups tend to overachieve and Allen is exactly that, poised to play a mid-rotation role relatively soon. He checks the talent and proximity boxes rather emphatically, and when you start lining up the other pitchers toward the back of the Top 100 list, Williams past and theoretical future injuries are more palatable than lots of other prospects actual injuries, so weve bumped him into this tier as a correction. A spindly, undersized athlete with a plus slider and mid-90s fastball, Jameson is on the starter/reliever line as Arizonas big league staff becomes more crowded with viable major leaguers. Hell be a cog in Phillys quest for a second NL pennant. Over the week, Dickerson produced a 1.141 OPS with three doubles and a triple. During his 2022 spring break, Holliday came to Arizona to work out and take BP with his high school team at some of the big league teams complexes, and he (and his younger brother, Ethan) put balls out of backfields into the teeth of the wind with ease. There are plenty of good players on the big league O-Swing% leaderboard, including many young stars, but these issues together create hit tool-related bust risk for Elly. Carter looks like a high-OBP, table-setting center fielder in the Brandon Nimmo mold. More than 51% of his contact comes off his bat at 95 mph or higher, and 21.1% of that is hit at a launch angle within the sweet spot range for power production. The Big 12 has three teams and the Pac-12 two, while the American, Big Ten and Sun Belt each have one representative. He has enough raw power to do damage to all-fields and Paradas feel to hit weaponizes it, as he often hits the ball where its pitched, driving stuff on the outer edge to right field, pulling pitches on the inner third, and spraying everything in between. Of course, Nolan Arenados presence through 2027 dictates a move regardless of how Walker looks over there. Right now, hes notching six outs every five days or so, a number the org would surely like to see increase as he ramps up his innings. The Big East, MAC, SoCon and Southland placed three teams apiece on the list. Caminero has a big leg kick, loads his hands low, and swings with bloodthirsty effort, with plus bat speed driving big pull-side power. Hes not quite as deft a hitter from the right side, but hes still plenty dangerous. Miller spent his freshman year at Blinn College, then pitched out of the Texas A&M bullpen as a sophomore and junior. Well likely learn more about that as he gains experience against upper-level pitchers, and this specific issue is the most concerning thing about Ramos profile, as it might require a significant adjustment on his part to avoid having a hole in his swing out there. The toolset to profile as a 50 in right is arguably already in place, and theres a chance Mayo ends up with 70 raw at peak and becomes a star out there. Volpes uppercut swing will allow him to get to impact power for a middle infielder. 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. LHP Nicolas Lopez Lopez was dominant out of the bullpen, picking up the slack for some lackluster outings from Cardinal starters. 29ConnecticutBig East1CT17365760 Casas is capable of hitting huge tanks to all parts of the ballpark; his hard-hit rate in 2022 was a whopping 50%, which would have been top 15 among qualified big league hitters. 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. The staff of Baseball America determines the Top 25 rankings. RHP Billy Oldham The Golden Eagles allowed just three runs across four games to get their season underway and Oldham was impressive.

If you would like to read a book-length treatment on the subject, one is available here. He has no underlying swing-and-miss issues and his massive 6-foot-5 frame still has room for more strength. }); 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.
