The 2023 MLB season is rapidly approaching, which means it is time to begin preparing for 2023 Fantasy baseball drafts. He has the speed to play out there, but Frelick is not a crisp center fielder, and later in the 2022 season he saw lots of time in left (though some of it was due to the sudden presence of Esteury Ruiz), where he also looked tentative. 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. Previous ranking: No. Of those accolades, perhaps the most promising was his durability; given the violence in his delivery, our biggest concern has been Cavallis ability to stay healthy, so the fact that he notched over 123 innings of work without an IL stint was a welcome development. Just shy of age 21 in 2022, he was a draft-eligible sophomore and somehow improved on an incredible freshman season (.318/.379/.550) by nearly tripling his home run total, walking as often as he Kd and slashing .361/.453/.709 as a soph.

In this case, Montgomerys bat seems to have already blossomed, while you can throw out the age-related concerns given that he has now proven himself at High-A. Previous ranking: No. Wiemer has a rare size/athleticism combination and wields an elaborate swing that produces huge pull-side power.

There might be more game power here than there is raw power, or at least more game power than youd expect from someone who has some approach-related red flags. 10StanfordPac-122CA112223031 But from June through mid-August, his two-strike fastball usage diminished to just 40%, with his curveball right behind it at 34%.

Here hes projected as a no. Rocchios calling card is still his switch-hitting offensive ability, specifically his bat-to-ball skills, which have made him a 50 FV mainstay since he finished his first domestic pro season. The offensive package, even with a bat-to-ball blemish (for now), is still befitting of a star-level talent at shortstop or third base, wherever Henderson ends up playing. 52Florida AtlanticC-USA3FL4-7455153 Though he does his homer damage almost exclusively to his pull side, Berry slices breaking balls away from him to the opposite field, and most of his non-extra-base hits come that way. Wiemer is a power/speed freak who might bust or be a power-hitting anomaly. 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. Scouts were blown away by his power and speed, but swing-and-miss issues were a concern. The tweaks have made Eders slider one of the nastier on the planet (2021 pitch data showed a 300 rpm uptick from his college slider to his pro one), with some of them looking like theyre headed into the ribs of left-handed hitters before bending over the plate. We can quibble over whether A-ball dynamics have changed due to the elimination of the short season leagues in a way that might invalidate historical precedents like this, but its reasonable to have some pause about Williams long-term prospectdom when you realize the closest 2022 comp for his contact data (66% contact%, 78% z-contact) was Paul DeJong.

Even though hes been on a throwing program to strengthen his arm, Volpe still doesnt have the hose typical of a big league shortstop. Even though Wood is quite big, he has feel for tucking his hands in and getting the barrel to softer pitches on the inner half of the plate, often staying inside them and driving them to the opposite gap. More disappointing though is that the shape of the heater hasnt played the way it was hoped to or how the TrackMan data that came out of his time at Vandy hinted that it might, having lost some of the ghost-like deception that flummoxed opposing college batters. RHP Karson Ligon Ligon put up a solid freshman year for Miami, and while he doesnt strike many out, he doesnt want a ton either. Peraza seems to realize this and tends to let strikes in the lower third of the zone go by until he absolutely has to swing at them. This is mind blowing when you consider that Rafaela has only been playing the outfield for two years. The Phillies pushed him aggressively, going all the way to Double-A Reading late in 2022.

Historically, Wesneski has favored his four-seamer overall, though against big league righties, his awesome slider and sinker out-paced the heater in terms of usage, with both secondaries garnering above-average chase rates and aiding his ability to maintain a high groundball rate. He ran an 83% Z-contact rate in 2022, which again, is right on the precipice of viability, as chase-prone, low-OBP hitters like Ozzie Albies and Jonathan Schoop have shown. His peak velocity has returned, and he has been sitting 94-97 and touching 99-100 with upshot angle and carry. DI indoor T&F championship selections revealed, How La. In 2022, he established himself as one of the premiere pitching prospects in the Cardinals system, issuing 81 strikeouts and just 15 walks over his 52.1 innings at Low-A, where he spent the entire season. 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. Increasingly, Amadors choppers and grounders are peppered with feel for pull-side loft, when appropriate. Even though Stones delivery looks like the sort that can create a power pitchers angle and shape on his fastball, it isnt a dominant in-zone pitch, and his slider/cutter plays more due to command rather than pure stuff. Naylor is a power-hitting catcher who should grab hold of the everyday job in Cleveland within a year or two. Williams injury history and the relative violence of his delivery kept him just outside the 50 FV tier on the Cleveland list, even though he had a strong pro debut and spent most of the year at Double-A Akron. MLB:MVPs who played in college|Cy Youngs by college|Players thatwon a CWS andWorld Series The batting average component was down a little due to his .241 BABIP at Columbus, but otherwise 2022 was another standard Rocchio season with the stick.

INF David Mendham Mendham, an experienced and well-traveled player, is back for another season of college baseball. He did not hit well after the injury, but thats typical of hitters coming off a wrist fracture, and a second IL stint due to the wrist was an indication that it was bothering Davis throughout the year. The Diamond Dogs (5-3) claimed their first win against a top-5 ranked opponent since 2004, sending the defending national champions home with their second loss of the season. His 39.8% strikeout rate was the highest in the minors among qualified pitchers last year, and he fanned 186 batters in just 113 innings. 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. Thats a decrease of four teams for California since 2019, and an increase of one team for Texas. The SEC also occupies each of the top four spots in the rankings for the second time in a row, although the order of that top four has shuffled a bit since our 2019 update. A powerful on-mound athlete, Pfaadt is one of few pitching prospects capable of missing bats with every one of his weapons. 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. Holliday exited his pre-draft summer as a mid-to-late first round prospect. He is similar to Henry Davis and Kyle Schwarber, in that he may have to move out from behind the plate due to poor receiving, ball-blocking, and his raw arm strength, though he is pretty accurate. 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. Berry has no position but raked in college, including after he left hitter-friendly Tucson and faced SEC arms. Romo has a plus glove and plus-plus arm but likely wont make a huge offensive impact. Meanwhile, his changeup hasnt yet made the necessary strides to consistently play against advanced righty hitters, and his overall command has plateaued.

He doesnt have traditional long-term power projection, but hes already so powerful that if all the pop Domnguez ever has is what hes working with now, it will still be plenty for him to be a good everyday big leaguer for as long as hes a center fielder. His strikeout problems stem from poor breaking ball and offspeed recognition, as he chases those pitches a fair bit (about a 40% rate against sliders and curveballs at Double-A per Synergy) while also swinging through lots of them in the zone (75% Z-Contact% versus non-fastballs). Hes actually a fairly rangy third baseman, as his foot speed allows him to cover a lot of ground, but his hands and arm accuracy are both pretty rough and cause him to be error-prone. 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.

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. He projects as a slugging five- or six-hole hitter in a typical contending lineup, with contact issues that will create some whiff-prone stretches and significant year-to-year variance. Hes likely to move off shortstop eventually, but it probably wont be for a while; the longer he stays there, the more margin for error the hit tool component, which were a tad apprehensive about, will have as he begins his big league career.
