1 | | 19 | Adley Rutschman | | C | | 21 | | A | | 6′ 2” | | 216 | | Plus hit and power. Best catching prospect in many years but not “best prospect since Bryce Harper” good. | | YouTube Twitter |
2 | | 54 | Grayson Rodriguez | | P | | 20 | | A | | 6′ 5” | | 220 | | Three solid pitches (FB, CU, SL). Average command at best. | | YouTube YouTube |
3 | | 93 | Ryan Mountcastle | | 1B | | 22 | | MLB | | 6′ 3” | | 195 | | Above average hit but hasn’t displayed the ability to draw many walks. Should be up soon. | | YouTube YouTube |
4 | | 118 | Yusniel Diaz | | OF | | 23 | | AA | | 6′ 1” | | 195 | | Good hit tool. Average everything else. Hit for more power last year with the Orioles than he ever did for the Dodgers. | | YouTube YouTube |
5 | | 147 | Michael Baumann | | P | | 24 | | AAA | | 6′ 4” | | 225 | | Big frame. Fastball hits the upper-90s. Above-average slider. Usable change. Control has been an issue at times but he looked great last season. Would have probably made starts in Baltimore this year if we had a full season. | | YouTube YouTube |
6 | | 175 | Austin Hays | | OF | | 24 | | MLB | | 6′ 1” | | 195 | | Decent contact but needs to work on his pitch selection and taking walks. Mediocre power and speed. | | YouTube YouTube |
7 | | 193 | Gunnar Henderson | | SS | | 18 | | RK | | 6′ 3” | | 195 | | Top pick of the second round is a great athlete. Alabama basketball and baseball player of the year. A chance for average offensive tools across the board. First taste of the minors wasn’t great but was limited to 108 AB. | | YouTube YouTube |
8 | | 223 | Elio Prado | | OF | | 18 | | RK | | 6′ 0” | | 160 | | Could get to average everything. Showed decent contact skills in the DSL last year. | | |
9 | | 356 | Dean Kremer | | P | | 24 | | AAA | | 6′ 3” | | 180 | | Boring arsenal. Decent command with four usable pitches. Fastball fringe-average. Should stick as a starter but not an exciting one. | | YouTube YouTube |
10 | | 368 | DL Hall | | P | | 21 | | A+ | | 6′ 2” | | 195 | | Great stuff. Awful control. Some people think he’ll figure it out. I’m not one of them. Three above-average+ pitches if he ever does. | | YouTube YouTube |
11 | | 386 | Ryan McKenna | | OF | | 23 | | AAA | | 5′ 11” | | 185 | | Plus speed but not great at swiping bags. Below-average everything else. | | YouTube YouTube |
12 | | 421 | Keegan Akin | | P | | 25 | | AAA | | 6′ 0” | | 225 | | Older prospect with three average pitches and below-average command. Should get an opportunity to start. | | YouTube YouTube |
13 | | 444 | Adam Hall | | SS | | 20 | | A+ | | 6′ 0” | | 170 | | Plus speed. Below-average contact and minimal power. Career numbers inflated by massive BABIP but it will always be high thanks to his speed. | | YouTube YouTube |
