69 to No. 6LouisvilleACC1KY1-1566 Caminero is much bigger than his team-listed height and weight, and is very likely a third base-only fit, though the Rays continue to give him some middle infield reps. He is more than capable of making a subset of plays at third, where his range and lateral agility are both plus, but he really struggles to make plays coming in on the grass. 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. Hes hovering at or below the big league average in most chase and contact rate categories, while generating impressive power for a shortstop his age. Its enough that Julien comfortably projects as an everyday second baseman if it turns out he can stay there, and even though he has experience at other positions, second base is the only one he played in 2022. He rocketed through Arizonas system in 2021, making brief stops at both A-ball levels before closing the season with six starts for Double-A Amarillo, where he then spent most of 2022 dominating to the tune of a 32% K% and 4% BB% before a late promotion to Reno. The Tigers scored 27 runs on the weekend. Everything else Jones shows you in the batters box is exciting. The 2023 MLB season is rapidly approaching, which means it is time to begin preparing for 2023 Fantasy baseball drafts. Hes as patient as any hitter in the minors and has walked at a 19% career rate; he has a .437 career OBP in the minors. He was a model-friendly prospect because of his age and performance, and a scout-friendly prospect because of his relative polish (especially on defense), physicality, and showcase tools. Built like human skyscraper, Prez has incredible control of his limbs for a pitcher this tall, this age, and who throws this hard. If he develops even a 40-grade hit tool, hell hit 30 annual bombs and it wont matter where he plays. When paired with teammate Parker Messick, Hubbart helps give Florida State arguably the best one-two punch in the country. Lewis missed a chunk of 2019 with an injury before losing all of 2020 to the pandemic. Nelsons velocity was down early in 2022 but picked up late in the year. When you consider that Miller lost a lot of developmental time to COVID and being buried on A&Ms depth chart, you can start to get excited about how much potential growth remains for him. 19Oklahoma StateBig 124OK1-1172119 Oklahoma; 46. 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. 9. Hassell went to the Fall League, where he broke his right hamate; he had surgery and was shut down. Because fate was cruel to his playing time in college, his pro data sample is already much bigger than his college one, which has helped reveal that he has premium feel for the strike zone. Even when he cuts his leg kick with two strikes, there is enough bat speed and power for Chourio to do huge damage. 68UC IrvineBig West3CA513814732 MLB:MVPs who played in college|Cy Youngs by college|Players thatwon a CWS andWorld Series It looked like he would continue his dominant performance at the higher level. Batys swing has made it tough for him to lift the ball in games, but a 2022 tweak may have unleashed the beast. Inside Lacrosse/Women's Coaches Association Top 25 Poll; Women's Field Hockey. It would be an above-average pitch were it simply in the low-to-mid-80s, but at this velocity, its a 70-grade weapon, and Espino has consistent feel for locating it down and to his glove side. He features a five-pitch arsenal with three distinct fastballs, and his ability to vary his usage across his pitch mix allows the mid-90s four-seamer to play up. Make no mistake, Brown does not suddenly have Verlanders command. His slider can bend in as hard as 94 mph and has late, two-plane finish. Jacksonville March 3-5: (10) MiamiFlorida took care of business with a sweep of Cincinnati, outscoring the Bearcats, 42-16. He has some vulnerability to high fastballs and tends to do most of his extra-base damage against middle-middle mistakes, but Steer is capable of making line drive contact in basically all parts of the strike zone, and is especially adept at poking outer-third pitches the opposite way for base hits. Olsons plus secondary stuff helps make him a potential starter even though he doesnt throw strikes with his fastball. That means Chourios surface level stats may have been significantly inflated. He blew triple-digits at the top of the zone past batters at every stop, with his fastball averaging 99 mph at Triple-A. The switch-hitting Quero demonstrated improved feel for getting his barrel on the ball from both sides of the plate, bopping 17 homers and 35 doubles. Espino barely throws his low-90s changeup, but he still has good feel for locating it in an enticing location away from lefty batters, and even that and his rarely-used curveball (combined, he threw those pitches 8% of the time in 2021) could be above average at maturity. The loss of reps might accelerate a move down the defensive spectrum (the Giants have publicly refuted this) so Luciano can just focus on hitting his way to San Francisco. 3 Last Week: 3-1 Overall: 5-2, 0-0 in Pac-12 (0-0 vs. Top 25) Weekend Record: 2-0 Results Feb. 21: California: L 8-4 Feb. 24-25: Rice: W 6-3, W 11-1, W 7-4 Upcoming Feb. 28: Pacific March 3-5: Cal State Bakersfield Stanford bounced back from a midweek loss to archrival Cal to sweep Rice on the weekend. Chourio is a hard-swinging center fielder with plus power and speed. He was excellent over the summer with USA Baseballs Collegiate National Team as well, striking out 10 in six innings. 7LSUSEC5LA1-3435 Speaking of the Seminoles, the Link Jarrett effect is already real in Tallahassee, as the Seminoles vaulted from unranked last week to No. Built at age 16 like Maurice Jones-Drew or a late-20s Mike Trout, nobody was totally sure how Domnguezs body and physicality would develop as he entered his 20s, and this (plus the internet hype) is where the Zion comp came from. His swing is already geared for lift, but he doesnt currently have the raw juice to make the most of it. The area where its most imperative for Tovar to show improvement is his plate discipline. His slider often has curt, unspectacular-looking movement, but Bradleys command of it and the way he sets it up with well-located fastballs make it a dominant pitch. Miller has huge stuff and has been hurt a lot. 25MiamiACC6FL3-4211413 72Sam Houston StateSouthland1TX8-25473274 Tiedemann was passed over as a SoCal high school hurler in the 2020 draft due in part to an ill-timed injury. His hands are quick and direct to the ball, though he struggles to make contact in front of the plate, often over-swings, and tends to chase. The 55 FV pitchers and above tend to have some combination of monster stuff and good command, whereas the 50 FV pitchers often have one or the other. Its possible the ceiling on Millers curveball is big. And even though he has some approach-driven bust risk, he does enough other stuff to project in a prominent big league role if his chase proves too much for him to be an everyday player. It can be tough to turn over a changeup from his arm slot, but that slot is also part of how Bibee creates depth on his curveball, which has become a show-me pitch that he lands in the zone at will. Here he stays in the same FV tier as last year but falls within that tier due to his 2022 performance. A bat-only prospect with a well-rounded offensive skill set, Steer may end up a 30-grade second base defender or just play 3B/1B/LF. 73IowaBig Ten5IA1-6676187 He threw his heavy, low-spin curveball with greater frequency and relied on it more as an out pitch. That isnt consistent with his career performance: Jungs 2021 chase rate, per Synergy, was just 24%, and that exploded to 37% in 2022. Previous ranking: No. Hamstring issues aside, Merrill is a pretty good bet to stay at shortstop. He receives on one knee with the bases empty but mixes his technique with runners on. Whether he adjusts to more cautious and competent pitching as he moves through the minors, we just wont know until it happens, but the more granular statistical indicators here (what Bleis underlying contact and chase rates are relative to his strikeout and walk performance) suggest hes going to improve in these areas. 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. As a fourth-year junior in 2021, he was still sitting 88-92 mph, with his fastball velocity sometimes drifting as low as 86 mph in a given start. His split/changeup is still his best pitch, but Allen has undergone a stylistic change and now takes a power pitchers approach with his fastball, ripping it past hitters at the letters with a high-effort delivery despite its mediocre velocity. After he made just five starts at High-A toward the end of his breakout 2021 campaign, last season the Marlins sent the 6-foot-9, 19-year-old Prez to Double-A Pensacola, where he was an absolute buzzsaw. Hes a plus athlete who would have been a Day Two pick as a position player, and his delivery is smooth and well coordinated, allowing for continued projection of Jobes command and control. Hes not a great defender right now, and probably wont ever be better than a 40-grade glove, but Davis frames high strikes well and has plus raw arm strength. 3B Yohandy Morales Morales is attracting first-round buzz, and for good reason after two dominant years for the Hurricanes. Hes so long that this may be exposed as an issue as the level of velocity Wood sees increases. Though his lower half looks a little stiff and he plays defense with a high center of gravity, hes capable of acrobatic defensive plays and at least has a shot to stay at shortstop long-term. Mead has spent a lot of time at third and second base. 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. He practically straddles the plate and was hit by 20 pitches during an injury-shortened regular season, then was somehow beaned seven more times in just 17 Arizona Fall League games. Jung was an elite college performer at Texas Tech he posted a .348/.455/.577 line with more walks than strikeouts throughout his career but didnt hit for huge home run power there, in part because he tended to work the opposite field. A slower curveball and occasional mid-80s changeup give Jameson the weapons to work through a lineup multiple times even though theyre just fair. It comes out of his hand from a high arm slot that looks like the kind optimized for data-friendly ride, but the pitchs downhill angle makes it less of a weapon at the letters and actually makes it very vulnerable within the strike zone. He left Arizona with top-five pick buzz and ultimately went first overall to Baltimore. 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. Thats a decrease of four teams for California since 2019, and an increase of one team for Texas. His swing is designed for power; it has a bit of a loop and a steep plane to it, enabling him to crush mistakes to left and center field. The son of two-time Pro Bowl tight end Eric Green, Elijah became Draft Famous during his junior year, homering a couple of times in high school tournaments held in big league parks and looking much toolsier than all but a couple of the prospects who were a year older than him. The degree of confidence in his hit tool has him ranked on the Top 100 ahead of some other middle infielders who are closer to the big leagues or who are more likely to stay shortstop. 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. A career .269/.374/.485 hitter in the minors, there are still some analysts who are skeptical Casas will make enough contact to profile comfortably as an above-average regular at first base. 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. The Pennsylvania native went six innings, allowed just two baserunners, and struck out eight against South Florida. 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. Only 37 of the 112 ranked players here are pitchers. He is stiff and bulky and not a lock to stay at third for a myriad of reasons. 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. And Miller held upper-90s velocity throughout, sitting 98-99 mph throughout most of his starts and rarely ever dipping below the 96-97 mph band with his fastball, which he also threw for a strike at a 70% clip in 2022. After a little bit of a slow start, Domnguez not only made relevant adjustments there but improved upon promotion to High-A, where he slashed .306/.397/.510 and struck out just 19% of the time. Julien tweeted he was going back to school, then went to the Cape and had a great two weeks, after which the Twins offer rose to just shy of $500,000, inspiring him to sign. If most hitters leg kicks and move forward are outies, Mayos is an inny his front foot often lands closer to his rear foot than where it began. 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. Miller has always held his velo deep into games despite a violent delivery, and his slider and changeup are both above-average, rounding out a starters mix in a weird mechanical package. The A-Sun, CAA, MVC, MWC, WAC and WCC landed two teams apiece in the Top 100. at High-A Wisconsin for the last month of the season. He receives on one knee with the bases empty before utilizing a traditional crouch with runners on, and hes an acceptable receiver and ball-blocker with a plus arm that plays down due to a slow exchange. His changeup isnt consistent enough for it to play a major role in his arsenal quite yet, but he trusts his slider enough to use it in place of the changeup, even against righties. He gets a lot of swing and miss on his slider, both in and out of the zone, and commands it well. Game-breaking speed is Bradfield, Jr.s calling card, and he swiped 47 bases in 53 tries last season. Alabama, Georgia, Indiana have four teams apiece on the list. Were projecting heavily on Abels command in anticipation of him growing into his body and arm speed. Once a two-way prospect, Winns skills in the batters box quickly won out, and hes been developed solely as a position player. The biggest fallers from 2019 are St. Johns (down 46), Minnesota (down 44), Rice (down 43), Illinois (down 34), Cal State Fullerton, California and Kent State (down 29 spots apiece). Johnson projects as a second baseman with plus contact and power. For the purpose of this exercise, we dont care what happened in the 1970s or 80s, or even the 90s thats ancient history to a potential recruit in 2022. Cunningham, among others, will set up closer Nick Maldonado. His fastball velocity is down, in the 92-94 mph range, a far cry from Priesters upper-90s peak. Because the White Sox had so many good prospects in Birmingham toward the end of the season, it was extremely efficient to source scouts and conduct film study from that time period. 45BaylorBig 126TX6-11346259 So Lawlar isnt quite as good as his cartoonish stats his present hit/power combination is actually closer to average but he does everything well and is a potential plus defender at short because of his acrobatics. 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. He still needs to find a position, though. He has special hand-eye coordination and bat-to-ball skill, as well as a tremendous idea of the strike zone. If Alcantara hits at High-A during the first half of 2023, he should get a second half look in Double-A, which would put him on a more comfortable pace to compete for an opening day roster spot in 2025. Moores numbers are impressive enough as it is. NC SOS: Non-Conference SOS. 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. This wasnt a gradual increase, either it happened all at once in 2019. 96UNC GreensboroSoCon3NC9N/ANRNRNR 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. At one point, his in-zone contact rate was in the ninth percentile among minor leaguers, even while his triple slash line was out of this world. Any discussion of Walker begins with his exit velocities, which are nearly unheard of for a player this young. Harrisons fastball sits 93-94 mph, topping out around 98, and it plays up thanks to its shape and the deceptively low lefty arm slot Harrison hurls it from. UNC has one more weekend of non-conference play before ACC action begins. An outstanding international find for $175,000, Peraza is a plus-run, plus-glove shortstop with average pull power. But in 2022, he righted the ship and then some, putting up a .312/.435/.530 line while fanning just 17.7% of the time and walking at a 14.2% clip. Juliens stock fell early during the 2019 college season as he struggled badly, then he got hot during a tumultuous postseason run; the Twins drafted him on Day Three. . The Tigers put together a 2-1 record at the event with the lone loss coming to Iowa. 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. 1B Gavin Kash The Texas transfer made an immediate impact for the Red Raiders this past week while facing an experienced Gonzaga team. That outcome seems in play for Merrill after his first full season in pro ball, even though a fractured wrist and strained hamstring both limited his reps and probably impacted his power output in A-ball. He primarily pairs the heater with a shapely low-80s slider and gets most of his swing-and-miss in the zone with both offerings. The Cavaliers bats stayed hot and theyre averaging 12.7 runs per game in the early going. As he has laid a statistical track record in pro ball, Turangs plate discipline became the tip of that spear, and even though his walk rate dipped to a mark merely above average (10%) in 2022, his rate of chase was a more superlative 23%, which would have been the best among qualified major league shortstops. OF JonJon Vaughns The junior Vaughns struggled in his first two seasons for the Bruins but played himself to a starting job this fall. He can be beaten with high velocity more regularly than anything else, but if pitchers miss and catch too much of the meat of the zone, that mistake is going to get hit hard somewhere. 39Arizona StatePac-126AZ2-9302916 As a disclaimer, we don't know a whole lot about these teams yet, and with small sample sizes, movement based on losses isn't too drastic. Rankings are based on standard 5x5 category roto leagues. The identifiable visual tweak to the swing, the shift in batted ball profile, and Batys dramatic uptick in home runs are all indications that hes dialed in the details that have kept him vacillating between several FV tiers for the last couple of years. DH Ian Petrutz Petrutz put up big numbers as a freshman, making him a mainstay in the Terps lineup. Catcher Carlos Perez went 4-for-9 and homered twice in the series. Hes short, he gets way down the mound (which helps create shallow angle on the pitch), and even though he has a three-quarters arm slot, his hand position is more north/south on release, which helps him create backspin and ride on the fastball. Acua slashed .317/.417/.483 at High-A before finishing the season at Double-A, where his numbers deflated across the board, though that did include his strikeout rate, which he brought down to 21% at the more advanced level. Combine that with your standard issue Astros breaking ball complement (a hard 90-mph cutter/slider and a slower knuckle curveball) and you very likely have an impact big league arm, if a somewhat inefficient one. He may not have the power of a typical big league third baseman yet, but at a strapping 6-foot-4, its likely to come with time, physical maturity, and a good strength program. He wasnt tested on the complex in 2022. And now, a few important things to keep in mind as youre perusing the Top 100. Weve concluded he does.

Elko, already a popular and accomplished player in college baseball, was elevated to cult hero status late last season, when he played on a torn ACL and thrived, hitting seven of his 16 total home runs after the injury. He was set to pick up winter ball reps in the Dominican Republic for Estrellas Orientales, but was shut down after just five games due to continued back discomfort. 37MarylandBig Ten2MD133703439 Long, lanky and loaded with tools and projection, Alcantara is a loose, 6-foot-6 outfielder with massive potential. His injuries reduced the sample size, but Merrills contact metrics from the regular season are incredible. 58KentuckySEC13KY20584154 He has impeccable hitters timing and a swing that is equal parts balanced and explosive, generating plus all-fields power despite barely utilizing any sort of stride. In two-strike counts, Cavalli threw his fastball 51% of the time in the first couple months of the season, with the curveball coming in second at just 22%. 2021 SEASON:Mississippi State takes down Vanderbilt to win program's first title| Full CWS bracket |Top 2021 MLB draft prospects Scouts were blown away by his power and speed, but swing-and-miss issues were a concern. Simply put, hes one of the most unique offensive threats in the sport. 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. His pitch efficiency has been ludicrous and actually got better in 2022, when he walked just 6% of opposing batters. The Aggies, who dropped two of three at home to the Pilots, dropped a whopping 10 spots from No. The biggest hope for the list is that by the time the end of the season rolls around, these 150 players will be something close to being the 150 players who were most impactful in the sport in . Hes a plus rotational athlete, his hands are exceptionally strong, he can drive his top hand through contact to punish pitches at the top of the zone and he sometimes alters his footwork and the bend in his lower half to dip down and barrel low pitches. We started with those base rates for every player on this years list and then manually tweaked them depending on our more specific opinions about the player. Montgomery did not look good at shortstop during that stretch, falling short of the positions high bar in most facets (range, hands, arm strength). Whats causing the swing-and-miss? There is no 70 FV prospect in this years class and only two 65 FV prospects. In that case, were talking about a rock solid everyday player in the Mark Canha mold, and in fact Vargas career has tracked in a similar fashion, especially as we stand on the precipice of a likely position change. He will reach back and show you a plus arm when he needs to. Eder was a tantalizing but inconsistent high school prospect who at times would sit 94-97 mph, but often with scattershot control. Graceffos velocity has exploded since he left the Main Line, and hes now nearing the big leagues as a contenders fourth starter. A fantastic defensive shortstop, Tovars poor plate discipline somewhat undermines his excellent bat-to-ball skill. 1VanderbiltSEC1TN11221 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.

Waldichuk came to Oakland as part of the return for Frankie Montas, bringing with him a nicely shaped four-seamer and an intimidating, sweepy slider with tons of horizontal movement.
