6'4" and all legs which seem to cause issues with consistency in his delivery and command. Given the prospect pedigree and draft capital spent, Mack gets the benefit of the doubt and slots into the middle of Tier 3. An underslot former reliever who only started towards the end of his college career that is mainly a fastball-only guy doesn't often get the bump into Tier 3. The jury is out on Moller there, but if I was placing bets, I would guess he does stay there. Bottom half of Tier 3 guy for me but if he can't get to that 20 home run number, the hit tool gets even more pressure to keep him in Tier 3 and he could easily slide into Tier None. If he continues to produce as he faces stiffer and stiffer competition, I will be ready to push him up to Tier 2. He's more of a control guy that looks to induce weak contact rather than a swing and miss guy you saw getting off the bus. Features a mid 90s fastball and a 12-6 knuckle curve. A very strong final season in Westwood was followed up by a disappointing 25 game sample at Low A in 2021, especially when you were hoping to see some power continue from what he started to show at the end of his stint at UCLA. No plus pitches, but throws four average to above average pitches that all work well with each other. Plus raw power but an average hit tool that currently caps his ceiling. I've seen some higher on Kudrna than Mozzicato and I wouldn't argue too much against it, but I'd rather bet on the lefty over the righty. Free shipping for many products!

He didn't get a hit, but he actually had the best contact of all of the A's facing Bachman with a sharply hit ground ball to the pull side that he was thrown out on. Edwin Arroyo - SS (Mariners, 1st Base only, 48/78) - The Mariners 2nd round pick was one of the youngest players in the draft which translates to a lot of raw potential yet to come.

Second base is his likely home, but the Rays are known to be creative and I wouldn't be surprised to see Kinney end up playing a multitude of positions to be able to get his bat regularly into games. Currently, it looks like his personal approach is that during the Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), he will pitch, but has to be able to walk to the ballpark. You will see the players overall drafted position and then their ranking in our Top 600 MLB Draft Prospects - so for Marcelo Mayer, this will be 4/1. The fastball appears above average with the horizontal arm side run to it. Not like Cleveland will need it given their depth at the position. He'll throw a hard slider and a good changeup that are both average to above-average pitches at times. There is likely above average pop when he gets to the big leagues while hitting for a decent average, but has the classic left-hander approach where they prefer the ball down and struggle with pitches up in the zone.

Click on any card to see more graded card prices, historic prices, and past sales. Coming from the Texas prep ranks, the potential five-tool shortstop should be able to stick at the position. Steven Hajjar - LHP (Twins, 1st Base and Auto, 61/114) - A well-known name since his prep days, Hajjar was taken in the second round by the Twins at slot value. He did go from a beanpole appearance to a solid 6'5" 200-ish frame in that time, so he put that to good use.

His plate approach, with that in mind, has been much more contact focused and he shows very strong plate skills regularly walking more than striking out. Fills up the zone and gets a lot of strikeouts. A low floor super high ceiling bat that for me is a Tier 3 guy currently that should be watched closely to see if he does turn those long levers into an every day power hitter role.

Super high ceiling and super low floor. 2022 Bowman Draft Baseball Complete Paper Prospect Team Set - Texas Rangers 195625717041 I am taking the upside play here with Allen and placing him in my Tier 2 group. Brandon Boissiere - 1B/OF (Nationals, 1st Base and Auto, 82/276) - The 3rd rounder out of the University of Arizona is not your traditional corner power bat. With his experience and excellent performance in 2021, we don't see any signs of slowing down. What I did see in addition to the fastball and curveball was a pitching motion that almost looked like he was falling towards the first base side mid-arm swing which lead to the pitches all staying arm-side. Slider is the out pitch. With more work on his fastball, he could end up as a mid-rotation starter, but this will have to be a wait-and-see game as he had to go under the knife for TJ late in the spring.

On the other hand, the Angels need starting pitching in the worst way (spending every draft pick on a pitcher is certainly a mood) and I imagine they will give him every opportunity to see if he can stick in the rotation. He should have no problem sticking in centerfield even when he likely adds more muscle and mass to his slender 6'4" frame. Sal Frelick - OF (Brewers, 1st Base and Auto, 15/10) - The Brewers 1st rounder out of Boston College has a really high floor given the strength of his plus hit tool, double plus speed, and strong plate skills. Three potential plus pitches with the fastball sitting in the high 90's this spring, a 12-6 curveball, and an arm-side fading changeup with a ton of life. Chicago-area prospects growing together in DREAM Series. He also wont steal many bases. Low 90's fastball with arm-side run that leads to uncomfortable at bats for left-handers. I saw him struggle a lot with pitches up in the zone. 2021 Bowman marks the official opening of prospect season. Stats. Mostly average tools on the offensive side of the equation. . That alone puts him in the Tier 2 conversation with upside for more, so I'll take the easy way out and stick him in the bottom half of Tier 2. Slider with decent bite is the third pitch in the arsenal that I saw get a fair amount of swing and misses on the 2020 circuit. A floor of high leverage relief to a ceiling of a two double plus pitches SP2/SP3 is enticing to slide into the bottom of Tier 2, but I will try and contain my exuberance for what I saw and put him at the top half of Tier 3. Daylen Lile - OF (Nationals, 1st Base only, 47/29) - The ability to field all outfield spots in a pinch, but mostly profiles as a left fielder with underwhelming arm strength. This one is likely a slow burn as he fills out and gets shaped by MLB dev staff. Great for a later fantasy baseball pick and a nice real-life baseball roster piece. The Invicta insert is another new one that tries to portray a high-end, classy feel, but looks boring and is a miss for me. He's an easy Tier None call for the moment but someone to keep an eye on because the raw stuff is there to become a lot more. A Tier 3 pitcher that could easily jump into Tier 2 with some consistency and any additional fastball velo bump. Lefty prep arms have slightly less risk than righty prep arms, and Mozzicato already has a banger secondary with top 10 draft pedigree.

A lot of strikeouts in college and in his brief minors exposure this year with both the knuckle curve and fastball. Given the injury situation, I'll slot him as a high-risk play at the bottom of Tier Two and see how he looks in 2023. It was only 11 games, but it wasn't a great look and I will focus on him as a pitcher rather than a hitter or two-way player. If he can go from high teens home run power to high twenties home run power, he starts to get more interesting for Tier 2 consideration. Some people think so given his exit velocity numbers, but a more lofted swing path is likely needed and that may not be worth a potential ding to his high-end hit tool. This keeps Del Castillo in the top half of Tier 3. The rarely seen, if ever, in baseball tidbit to Steinmetz is that he is an Orthodox Jew, so that will likely get some regular mentions as he works his way up the minors. Tier None with a watch label to see if he can tick up the velocity in-game and get more swing and miss when he starts getting pro innings under his belt. While the data shows he is slightly above average in his Chase %, the majority of video I watched showed more chasing than I like.

Ian Moller - C (Rangers, 1st Base only, 103/118) - Prep catchers are often a dart throw, especially regarding if they can stick behind the plate or not. I've seen him smoke balls, but the power is a lesser part of his game and is more gap-oriented than over the fence. He has all the look of a spot starter/middle relief bullpen arm with a ceiling of an SP5 which is why he is firmly in Tier None. John Rhodes - OF (Orioles, 1st Base only, 76/125) - Corner outfield profile that was a draft eligible sophomore out of Kentucky. Anthony Solometo - LHP (Pirates, 1st Auto only, 37/34) - Player comps are hard and often wrong which is why I try to stay away from them as much as possible. Free shipping for many products!

When it's on, the curveball is a nice 11-5 swing and miss pitch that tunnels well with his fastball. Does 2021 Bowman Draft live up to those expectations? A pitchability righty with a bucket of average offerings starting with a low 90s fastball and a slider, curveball, and changeup as his secondaries. Hit tool is his best asset with the bat but will have some unexpected power - at the moment it's mostly doubles gap power.

If we see Bednar trending towards relief, he still has an opportunity to be in a high leverage role, but the hobby interest would drop to Tier 3 at best, but most likely to Tier None. The Padres are giving him an opportunity to start for now, but he's a tough at bat for lefties and I would speculate that he eventually gets moved to the bullpen to come in against a tough left-handed portion of a lineup. 2021 Baseball America's Top Prospects features the future phenoms of baseball. Tanner Bibee - RHP (Guardians, 1st Auto only, 156/224) - Fourth-year Senior pitcher out of Cal State Fullerton selected by Cleveland in the fifth year is the classic back-end starter profile. He could use some more velocity and his fastball and that would hopefully drive up the strikeout potential. His curveball is plus and his best pitch. Stock fell a bit with his inconsistent command being the main drag in 2021. With more comfort throwing his changeup regularly and improved command and control, Petty could step up into the SP1 conversation. Granted that is a small percentile outcome which is why I will have Carson in my Tier Two for now, but he's near the top of my list of guys I want to see more of.

Donta Williams - OF (Orioles, 1st Base only, 106/333) - The Orioles underslot fourth-round pick out of the University of Arizona projects to a second division outfielder or strong side platoon as a lefty bat. Cut to the complex video and his left-handed swing was a lot more balanced, even if it is still a bit more power over hit focused. Low floor given all of the x-factors, but super high ceiling of an SP2 will have me push him into Tier 3. Ryan Holgate - OF (Cardinals, 1st Base and Auto, 70/76) - Ryan Holgate's home runs are majestic and the only question is really how much we will see of them. A top 50 guy at the Complex level in our RoboScout, I am putting him into the bottom of Tier 3 because of the strong floor and the upside to develop offensively as he grows into his body. Bowman 1st Edition teased the hobby with a limited release one month ago but now collectors can finally dive into a full checklist of top prospects.

NEW! He signed for almost $2 million dollars underslot, which gives a good idea of why the Royals went this route in an already pitching rich system. Switch hitter that looks good from both sides but better from the right with a plus player approach. A power speed athlete profile at 6'3" 205 that is raw given his focus on football and baseball as well as basketball to a lesser degree. Jackson Merrill - SS (Padres, 1st Base only, 27/69) - Off the top with Merrill, be aware that his photo on his card is not him, and is speculated that it is Isaac Frye, a showcase teammate at some point previously (thanks Topps). Noah Miller - SS (Twins, 1st Base only, 36/89) - The younger brother of Cleveland's Owen Miller is a switch-hitting prep shortstop out of Wisconsin. To a lesser degree, he wont be a plus on the defensive side of the ball, which will likely restrict him to a LF only role. Cameron Cauley - SS (Rangers, 1st Base only, 73/230) - The prep shortstop out of Texas has all the tools to stick at short which is his main calling card.

Ben Kudrna - RHP (Royals, 1st Base only, 43/31) - While the Royals went way underslot with their first-round pick, Frank Mozzicato, they went way overslot with their second-round pick in Ben Kudrna. Plus speed and an above-average hit tool at the moment. Peter Heubeck - RHP (Dodgers, 1st Base only, 101/50) - Project and upside arm that lands in an ideal org for it. My concern is that House could easily end up a sub-.250 hitter even if he does end up with 30+ bombs regularly, and that isn't in the elite category in today's game, let alone perennial all-star. He has a notorious hitch in his swing and regularly is mentioned in the same breath as Hunter Pence. Mostly leans on a plus low to mid 90's fastball with arm-side run and rise coupled with a plus sweeping slider. Logan Henderson - RHP (Brewers, 1st Base only, 116/268) - The NJCAA Division I Pitcher of the Year in 2021, he's a shorter (just under 6 feet tall) right-hander JUCO Bandit out of Texas has an effective low 90s fastball that is the table-setter for his double-plus changeup. Drew Gray - LHP (Cubs, 1st Base and Auto, 93/149) - Cubs third-round pick out of the prep factory IMG Academy who was a two-player there.

Due to the general lack of information/video and what is likely a raw prep RHP, I am putting him in Tier None and making a note to check him out further in 2022. Brooks Gosswein - RHP (White Sox, 1st Base only, 124/215) - Fourth-year senior that jumped into rounds 3 - 6 conversation when the left-handed pitcher started hitting 95 on the gun and spinning plus curveballs. Free shipping for many products! Really raw from a pitching standpoint. This is a hobby lottery ticket assuming he is cheap. Wes Kath - 3B (White Sox, 1st Base and Auto, 57/33) - The White Sox second-round pick out of the Arizona prep ranks was a shortstop in high school but has pushed out to third base in his first pass through pro ball. Finally Topps, for whatever reason, decided to hold back more players towards the top rounds than I think many of us were used to seeing. I caught a few glimpses of a 12-6 curveball that mostly he didn't finish leaving it up high. Throws high 90s heat with two plus breaking balls in a slider and a changeup. Above average to plus hit tool with a strong plate approach is brought down by the rest of his average-ish tools. Wander Franco - Tampa Bay Rays, SS. Eric Silva - RHP (Giants, 1st Base only, 115/162) - Giants took the Kyle Harrison approach again with taking a prep arm and paying him overslot money - in Silva's case, a million dollars over slot. I am making an exception because his fastball is seriously special. Both pitches get a ton of swing and misses, but the fastball, even with its plus velocity may need more movement/approach tuning to get it to its plus potential. His third pitch is a hard 12-6 slider without a ton of break that he will keep low but won't throw that often.
