Now playing
During the offseason, we have spent some time ranking the top five players on each MLB team. Now that the process has been completed and spring training has begun, we have selected the top 50 prospects in all baseball games. You will find that the participants listed below come in the order of their perceived influence on other factors (such as risk). You will also find our report for each participant.
Please note that 50 itself is an arbitrary number-and his art is more than science. Any number of players can make it to the bottom of the list, not a big deal, if you prefer the 32nd potential customer to the 35th potential customer, that's great for us.
Please note that unlike our team-oriented list of potential customers, this list is only adjusted when we graduate or increase the number of people. We decided to actively rank the top 50. In other words, there are some new names and some new names that will appear here based on what happened during the 2020 calendar year. (This also explains why there may be some differences compared to the team list itself.)
In any case, enter the top 50 potential customers list for the 2021 season.
: Franco is an avid exchanger, he needs a lot of contact, and it's difficult many times. His speed and arms are above average. And... Look, there is not much he can't do. A member of the front desk of a competitor said that Franco may be unique in major majors as early as 2019 (when he was only 18 years old). He has the opportunity to be a special, special player-it's just a matter of when Ray chooses to raise him. Our guess is after the Super Two deadline.
Wandering horizon
: Rutschman has the potential to add points to all tools except speed, and remember-remember, he is a catcher, so this is almost irrelevant. He is a pitcher with similar swings and skills on both sides. Rutschman's eyes are good; the power to fight for strength; bat control and barrel consciousness can get reliable averages. On the defensive end, he scores well and catches the ball well. He has strong arms; he has the temperament to be a field general. You almost have to look for a knock on his door. Even so, the biggest flaw is... Is his 12 A-ball games worth the struggle? His past medical problems don't seem to be relevant anymore? What about the fact that he may not play for your favorite team? He will become very good, very good, and he should reach this limit sooner.
: Kelenic may make his major league debut in 2020 in a regular season. Alas, he must wait until 2021. Kelenic can make up for lost time. He is a senior fighter and should contribute to the triple slash category. His control swing is simple, but he can still produce relaxed, above-average power. Kelenic will never win the Golden Glove Award in midfield, but he did well there and may improve. As an added bonus, he should also be able to steal a small number (or two) of bases each year.
: Rodriguez is almost certain that this time next year will be the number one prospect for the M system. Because of his racket speed, power, and loud touch, he has the ability to become a medium-level fixture, resulting in an average and high-power impact. Rodriguez (Rodriguez) divided the 2019 season into A-level and High-A-level. Although he was younger than his game, his debut on the US national team was .326 / .390 / .540. Defensively, he is likely to have a permanent residence in the right field, and his average arms should help him make up for any range he might lose when gaining weight.
: Sanchez is arguably the most exciting aspect of the Marlins season. He started 7 games and accumulated 3.46 ERA and 3.00 strikeout ratio in 39 games. Sanchez's biggest concern since entering this year's game is his size and fastball efficiency-although his speed is good, he has never missed the bat as expected. Sanchez will have to start about 30 seasons to fully focus on the former. In seven games, he did miss the bat enthusiastically, even though his opponent hit .368 on his sinker. In other words, the jury may still be away. Given the income outcome, this may not matter.
Sixto Sánchez, 100 mph fastball, 89 mph substitution speed and 88 mph slider, tail covering.
: Anderson (Anderson) has achieved great league success. In six games, he averaged more than five games per game, with a 1.95 ERA and 2.93 strikeout ratio. Anderson rarely allows hard contact. On the contrary, he missed a lot of three-shot mixed bats: fastballs in the mid-90s; high-end changes and low-spin curves. Anderson’s shots are indeed less than you would expect, but his ability to limit contact has offset some of the negative effects of walking speed. He should continue to be a key member of the brave team, and should make his home as the No. 2 or No. 3 starter.
: Gore seems likely to make his major league debut sometime in the 2020 season, just like the other two members of Padres' top five. However, Gore never received a call, but spent the year on the alternate site. Don't worry, he will recover soon. Gore examined all the options a potential front-line starter might want: he is athletic; he should have multiple plus products; and he should have above-average command. He is a pitcher, so some kind of injury may pop out and ruin everything. Shyly, Gore may start a long and successful career in 2021.
: Abrams is one of the fastest players in organized baseball. If he is forced to move from shortstop to center, this may come in handy on defense. It’s also convenient on the offensive end, but Abrams is more than just a
fax. Thanks to the projectable frame, he has a good sense of touch and above-average potential. There is real constant star potential here, depending on how Abrams matures in the next few years.
: Pache is an energetic midfield scorer. He should at least use his wheels and arms to make wonderful reels and best lists in the second half of the decade. As long as he becomes more efficient as a thief, he can also grow into a good base runner. This combination should give him a big sleeper on the plate-he may need it too. Pache is helpful, vacillating, and misses a lot, which may limit his average shooting percentage. To his credit, he increased his walking speed and performed stretching exercises where he could use his raw power. Any form of continuous offensive improvement will make him a star player. The shy thing is that he might grow into a new one
Small or
.
Hayes is already a high-quality defensive third baseman. His movements are smooth, his hands are soft, his arms are strong, and his range is so large that he will be used to intercepting ground personnel and machete people who buy tickets for shortstops. (Some sources are considering whether Hayes can cut it in the short term.) His offensive value is difficult to determine. Hayes hit a double-digit home run for the first time in a Triple-A game last year, but this was done with the help of a rabbit ball, and his results were generally below average. He should take a lot of steps, and his speed is above average, which gives him more than ten steals. Nowadays, everyone is seeking power, and Hayes’ bat can play with touch lights.
Scouting report: Carlson (Carlson) jumped up to 35 major league games, batting rate is only .200 / .252 / .364, strike rate is 29.4%. There are good reasons to believe that he will start from a relatively young age and comprehensive offensive skills, and leave this disappointing situation behind as soon as possible. Carlson took a disciplined approach. Sufficient bat speed; and above-average raw strength. He has the opportunity to trade some kind of connection for power; otherwise, he should be able to contribute to every three-slash statistics. The Cardinal used a considerable amount of him in midfield in 2020, but as he grows older, he may surpass him. Carlson is also considered a hard-working person, a good choice to maximize his physical fitness.
: Mize's first appointment in major majors did not meet expectations. Except for one of his seven outings, the Tigers limited his streak to 20 or even less, but he still accumulated a 6.99 ERA and poor external conditions. Mize's splitter, his signature product, was not as effective in the knockouts: opponents hit it at .313, and by the end of the year, he threw it less and less frequently. In a plague year, it makes no sense to overreact to a small number of samples, but it's fair to say that Mize was disappointed. He will get another shot in 21 years.
: McKay should be a safe transit starter, with good command, balance and ability. (The batting rate of the Boy Scouts is not high.) He, his 2020 is very painful. First, he missed the game time because of COVID-19, and then he missed the game time because of shoulder surgery. It's not clear how McKay will rebound-obviously hope he looks like he has never been absent for a day-but it just means that there may not be a safe pitching prospect.
: There is no doubt that Werther's physical talent. He can move and throw well to stay on the left side of the infield, and he has enough strength and power to shoot more than 20 baskets at the top. If he keeps his promise, he is likely to become a star producer. However, there are some valid criticisms that give him a polarizing outlook when he enters the 2019 NBA Draft. In other words, Witt is older than the average reserve team, and he has a history of swings and turnovers-this is a worrying problem because it shows that he may have problems in professional games. Calling him a pros and cons is exaggerating things, but the facts show that there is a lot of room for ups and downs in his game.
: Luciano will not turn 20 until September next year. He may become the number one on this list next year, and may come out again later. Thanks to the projectable frame, he has room for rising stars. The extremely fast speed of the bat; and the natural attic. His defensive home is to be determined-he may not insist on using shortstops and may have to slip to the outfield, depending on how mature his body is-but it hardly matters. All tools are designed here for influential batsmen. It's just a matter of getting the necessary repetitions, staying healthy, and exercising as planned.
?Marco Luciano (Marco Luciano)?
: Cleveland, who is in desperate need of offense throughout the year, has never shown Jones a major league pitch, which is a bit surprising. Because of his command of the strike zone and his above-average strength, he may become an above-average contributor to the dishes. C, Cleveland left him on the bench, ostensibly he was working on his third base defense (he may have to leave that position) and his ability to maintain a more stable connection (he was on the Double-Board in 2019) appear). There is no reason to think that Jones will not premiere in 2021.
: Robinson is one of the most attractive prospects in the game. He has above-average raw strength and speed, and his projectable frame should allow him to add more muscles. His athleticism is enough to act as a midfielder temporarily, although any weight gain may push him into a corner (this may be correct considering he has strong arms). Robinson is indeed vacillating and misses it very much. When he rises to a minor level, he must proceed with caution. The absolute upper limit here is the star level. As to whether he got there, this is anyone's guess.
: Can easily summarize Goldman's personal data: prosperity and depression. He has a very loud voice, and has big swings and misses. In 2019, he scored about 30% on the board, divided into two levels, and the ISO range was north of .190. Gorman will not contribute a lot of value in defensiveness, which means it all boils down to whether he can make enough contacts to increase productivity. His age and track record indicate that he will, but it is too early to assert.
: With his extensive skills, Martin entered last year's draft and ranked first in our draft. He has a mature method in cricket and has excellent batting skills, which makes him the most difficult batsman in power competitions. In addition, Martin's exit speed suggests that his racket may have above-average raw power available. He runs very well, runs smart, and he is an all-around defender-at least in a sense, he can stand firm in short, second, third and middle positions. The latter may be his permanent landing site, but if the Blue Jays allow Martin to play anywhere, it will be suitable for the modern era.
: Vaughan is comparable to Spencer Tokelson, who is the No. 1 pick in the 2020 draft, in many ways. They are all right-handed first basemen from the West Coast. They have all the tools-eyesight, racket speed, power, touch and adjustment feel-and should move quickly among minors and then among minors. Take the place it deserves. The middle of the order. From this perspective, Vaughan is likely to make his major league debut before the end of this year.
: When the Tigers kicked him out of Arizona State University, Torkelson became the first first baseman ever to enter college (they declared him third baseman at the time). It's fair to have reservations about almost all right-handed first basemen, but there are many things worth mentioning here. He has the speed, power and serve control ability of a racket, and he can hit the ball for a long time and hard. Accept the method of walking and control its strikeout rate; and quickly adjust your swing or game plan. Torkelson may not add a lot of value to the location or basic path. He doesn't have to be a member of the lineup.
: Lacy seems to be very popular, becoming the first pitcher in June, and there are good reasons to prove that he could have been the first choice overall. Therefore, the Royals are happy to see him available to him in 4th place. Whether using the eyeball test or the Trackman machine, Lacy's fast ball slider pairing will jump out, and he has the behavior and behavior of the team. Look for their frontline pioneers. In any case, what Lacy doesn't currently have is first-class commands. If the Royals can help him position him more consistently, then he may exceed the forecast below. Otherwise, his future may be similar to
The past: unstable mid-rotating starter, fluctuating between dominant and non-dominant.
: Kirilov made his first major league appearance in the playoffs, leading 4-1 in the Twins Wild Card Series defeat
. Expect him to have hundreds of appearances in the 2021 season, and expect him to cause more damage. Kirilov has the potential to reach average level and strength, which is more important to him than the standard high shooting rate: he has never participated in as many as 9% of cricket appearances like a professional. Defensively, Kirilov has enough strength to exercise, although as he matures, he may eventually slip to first base permanently.
: Ramos will not stay in midfield. What he is most likely to do is to fight for power. Ramos did see his K rate soar above 30% in 25 Double-A games, which is about six percentage points higher than his High-A rate. It is fair to give him a chance to make adjustments before the red flag is raised. In this way, when you strike often, it is difficult to be a consistently above average major league fighter.
: Lewis enters the 2019 season to compete for the title of "Best Prospect in Baseball (except for Flander Franco)". Unfortunately, he had a difficult season. He performed poorly on swing changes and was in chaos for most of the year. His shortstop is nothing good, which shows that his long-term defensive home may be in the middle, and his speed can make him an asset. Lewis is still very young and talented, and can be another year, but compared to two years ago, the risks associated with him and his personal data are much greater. [Editor's note: Lewis tore his ACL early this spring and is likely to miss this season.
: Kopage seems to have made great strides in command before his major league debut in 2018. He tore his UCL after four starts, causing him to miss the entire 2019 season. Koppec was supposed to be an important part of Chicago's rotation plan this year, but he withdrew from the season before the start of the season, which made him leave the last meaningful season for more than two years. Kopech has first-class products; currently, he has too many commands to confidently project more power than the relay arm.
It is great to see Michael Kopech return to action!
: Rodriguez is a tall right-handed man. If he starts a major league tomorrow, he will not look out of place. He has two high-quality pitches in both fastballs and steals, and the ever-changing changes have finally made inspections one of the biggest speed gaps in professional baseball. Rodriguez will have to keep working hard to make the delivery go smoothly. This is common for high school students with 113 games, but there are a lot of things to see if he is on a working day in the future. Occupies a place in the system, it is not surprising that the highest position in the system.
: Last winter it was argued that based on Manning’s healthier health, Manning should be the number one potential customer in the Detroit system. Naturally, due to factors such as the Law of Attraction, Manning missed the opportunity to make his debut this season because his forearm was taut, which is usually a precursor to Tommy John's surgery. If Manning can avoid surgery or prolonged setbacks, he should put his own banner in the profession in 2021. He has a good combination of fastball and curve, and has made great progress in changing hands. Coupled with his physical fitness and athletic ability, maybe he will be better than Mize after all.
: Patino has an eventful season, if not a particularly memorable rookie season. In September, he had the option to enter the backup site three times, limiting him to 11 regular season appearances. During these outings, he allowed 18 hits and 14 walks for 10 runs. Patino has a smaller body, but he has a lot of important things, including above-average fastballs and steals. Patino still needs to work hard to change hands and command. As long as he improves-please pay attention to his age-he should have the opportunity to serve as an intermediate rotation starter. Otherwise, he will have a bright future, which will not talk about his figure as frequently as now.
: Baz has three potential pitch angles, namely fastball, curve and cutter, and has a body to start. His delivery left him with so-so orders, and his left-handed hitter was in trouble due to his adjustment lag. There is a lot of room for growth, but if he can't make up for these disadvantages in the next few years, he is likely to end up in the bullpen.
: Garcia played its first major league game in 2020 and compiled a 4.98 ERA and 5.50 strike-to-walk ratio after the start of six regular seasons. He later became the youngest Yankee pitcher since Whitey Ford and started the playoffs. That's a good start for a career, isn't it? Garcia has a lot of things and athleticism-his curveball may be affected by many GIFs-but his height will always be the same as him until he can combine high-quality outings. Garcia is capable of doing this, and for now, the Yankees seem committed to providing him with opportunities.
: Under normal circumstances, Marsh may reach a professional level in 2020. Unfortunately, he was listed on the 10-day injured list in the July report, and he never got the chance to appear. Marsh has enough support skills: he is an excellent outfielder with strong arms and should also make a difference on the basic path (he was stolen 43 times out of 54 attempts in his career). The biggest problem he faces is the bat. Marsh can't consistently use his raw power, he may have to adapt to putting the ball on the grass and making full use of the power of the wheel, which exceeds your expectations for a person of the same size.
: There is not a lot of faulty things here. Bleday performed well in high-level college competitions. He has all the tools (batting, hitting feeling, arm strength), which can imply that he will become a high-quality two-way contributor at the major league level and is likely to play in the right field. and many more. The biggest problem Bleday may face may be things he can't control: the pandemic has delayed his senior year age, which in turn may delay his major league playing time. However, don't forget Bleday: he has a chance to be a good person.
: As we pointed out last year, the main problem Thomas faces are his position on the defensive end and how much power he will grow into. Since Thomas’ arms are not strong, the answer to the first part is midfield or left field. As for the second part, this is important because the difference between Sam Fulders and Brett Gardners in the world is their ability to eliminate pitcher errors. Otherwise, the weapons of the Major League are more likely to challenge them so much that it suppresses their average strike rate and baseline hit rate. Assuming Thomas does show enough jumping ability to keep the pitcher honest, then no matter where he is on the grass, he should be a first-class hitter and a good glover.
: The Mariners have chosen college starters in the last three drafts. Regardless, Gilbert currently seems to be the closest professional. He won 9 Double-A starts at the end of the 2019 season, during which time he accumulated 2.88 ERA and 3.73 strikeout rate. Gilbert has a framework for eating the ball, with a nice fastball and three minor pitches, which fluctuate between average and slightly higher or lower. With more consistency, he can take a step forward. In any case, he is likely to debut in 2021.
The game between Logan Gilbert and Jarred Kelenic begins
The complete bat ⤵️
: Gray didn't pitch until he was a junior at Le Moyne. Once he showed him his promise
In the rookie ball, the Dodgers quickly pounced on him, adding him to the multiplayer trade. Since then, Gray has developed into a legal rotation option and can make his debut in 2021. He has an inspiring three-tone mixing effect and has more control than you can against a beginner who is just starting out. Even if Gray enters his 20s, it is at least possible to continue to make progress due to his athletic ability and situation.
: It seems that the Warriors need another young outfielder...Waters is a jumper with a lot of physical talent: he runs and throws well, and his power potential is above average. Since Waters reached a higher minor, his strikeout rate has soared to the point that he played nearly 40% in 26 AA games. This sample is too small to over-study, but it is worth monitoring-especially because it may prevent him from playing to his advantage as a full-fledged frequent visitor.
: Ruiz has one of the stranger configuration files you will see everywhere, let alone support it. He is an extreme contact player, his cricket game dates back to 2018, and his appearance rate is less than 10%. Those impressive racket skills are the backbone of his game. Ruiz does have average raw power, although it doesn't appear often in games. He is likely to be a heavy singles hitter, his average level or higher. This should be enough to start and make it easier to stand out from the crowd.
: Lodolo is the first pitcher of 2019 due to his athletic ability and repeatable deliveries; a solid three-pitch mix; and a David Price-like frame that allows him to take on the big leagues Workload. Lodolo lacks the high-end skills that make him a leading starter, but this does not prevent him from becoming an above-average starter.
: Hancock is the third college pitcher to stand out in June, second only to Max Meyer and Asa Lacy. There is no shame in this, although it illustrates the nature of his profile, that the pitchers chosen by other teams have a higher advantage. Hancock is a forward, with three above-average or better secondary products, it is easy to foresee that he will develop into third place with the least amount of development. Some people in the game believe that Hancock's arsenal has more room for improvement. If this turns out to be the case, he may become the second-place starter and a relatively stealer.
: Meyer was the first pitcher in June. To his surprise, he seems likely to follow Asa Lacy and Emerson Hancock, or two higher pitchers from the prestigious show. Meyer is worthy of flowers: Although he is not tall, he has a fast-paced combination of large slides and slides, and is athletic enough to keep spinning. He only needs to make changes to ensure that the situation remains the same.
: Zora Neale Hurston once wrote that there is everyone’s wish on a long-distance ship. The juvenile shortstop is usually equivalent to baseball. This is especially true for people like Mauricio. He is very athletic. The tall and slender frame that he can gain weight makes his strength above average; enough dexterity (he is a switch mad); against some established ability of pro-caliber pitching; and may be the ceiling of the All-Star. Whether Mauricio gets there-and whether he persists or has to slide elsewhere, possibly to third place, is an out of reach. Currently, he is just a point on the horizon. And it is difficult to look away.
: Veen was the second prep stick in the June draft; he could have been the first. He is a lanky left-handed man who can definitely paint
The comparison between now and his major league debut. All the components of the running producer exist. His shot speed is fast enough; he has keen eyes; and his projection frame is very flexible, allowing him to gain weight and strength in the next few years. The only trouble is that Veen may be off-center as he grows. OK then. He has enough power to deal with.
: The key to Randy Arozerana's trade, as far as the Cardinals is concerned, because his sinker is above average and the curveball is above average, the Libertadores have a chance to be above average Starter. After entering the major, he may be more like a contact manager than a tripod artist. It doesn't matter; the Cardinals seem to be one of the few organizations still using the sunk ball type. Liberatore produced nearly 60% of the ground balls for A-ball matches in 2019, which bodes well for his future.
: Although Jung was selected as eighth, Jung (pronounced "young") is the fourth college football bat in 2019. Based on this sentence, you might suspect that he is a well-polished hitter and will most likely stay in his place; this is true for both accounts. What you might not think is that unless he can maximize his offensive ability by using his raw power, he may lack the carrying tools. If Jung fails, he will have a small number of medium-level tools, which is not the worst case-it will make his power so light and weaken his potential to achieve average and high-level walking. Clip.
: The preparation for right-handedness takes a lot of time to complete. In this sense, even though Abel has a high upswing, it is not surprising that he still slips to the Phillies. He has everything a young pitcher needs: a solid body; three budding courts; athletic ability and projectability. Of course, he is at risk of injury or not growing as expected, but he also has a chance to become one of the better players in the 2020 draft.
: Crochet's career debut was his major league debut. He participated in five regular season games and one playoff game, showed triple-digit speed and occasionally wobbled sliders. Unfortunately, Crochet left his last appearance when he was injured, which was a common theme for him. Before the college season was closed due to physical problems, he was just the beginning, and other teams had reservations about his medical condition during the draft. There is no denying the impressive raw material of crochet-if his body cannot bear the burden of the starter, he may have to play a rescue role.
: Whitley entered the 2019 season in the dialogue and won the title of "Best Shot Opportunity in Baseball". Then, he had a difficult year, seeing him release a 7.99 ERA and walked more than six batsmen for every nine batsmen in 59 innings. To make matters worse, due to the pandemic, injuries and suspensions, he has never thrown 100 games in a season. Whitley (Whitley) has a deep high-end armory and the framework of the game. Anyone doubts whether he might become a potential spinning monster. The trend of the development of things, it can be said that this seems unlikely.
I have to say,
Prospect Forrest Whitley looks ready...More from this week
inbox! stay tuned....
: It sounds stupid. If Carroll is a few inches tall, he might be better evaluated in the exploration world. On the contrary, he seems likely to be underestimated until he gets closer to the show. What a pity, because there are enough precedents there-that's it
,
, Or
-Prove that smaller outfielders can play a higher level. As far as Carroll is concerned, he can run and should stay in midfield for a long time. On the plate, he portrayed an all-round batter who will hit the average ball, walk, and yes, the power generated is stronger than you might see at first glance. In other words, there are many things worth seeing here, and it is a mistake to discount him based on his size.
: The Yankees nicknamed Dominguez "The Martian" because of his rare physical talents. He signed a contract with Dominguez for more than $5 million in July 2019. He hasn't officially debuted yet, but he has inspired several small social media fanatics whenever they post videos or photos about his physique. It is almost impossible for Dominguez to live up to the hype, but he deserves the opportunity to develop into an excellent player.
