Tiger: Christian Santana, SS (No. ) exist383, Santana Looked like a potential breakout candidate last year, but only played. 80/.350/.314 exist39 against Single-A Lakeland. That said, he does make a fair amount of contact and does more than his fair share of walks while jumping two levels. The next key is to increase the impact of his bat, which may come as he gets older -04 season. Add average power to potential 33-level hit tool will greatly enhance Santana’s profile, which many believe will come early in his career.

Athletics: Brett Harris, 3B ()

Looks like Harris will be more interesting than a The premium logo is much better. Jumping on the map has spent most of the season at Double-A. He’s hitting the ball a lot better than anyone expected, and he could put up some big numbers in Triple-A while impacting a major league lineup at some point this season.

Braves: AJ Smith-Shawver, RHP (No. 6)
Smith-Shawver played baseball with Bobby Witt Jr. in high school, but also distracted him from being a legitimate D1 Quarterback recruits. He only focused on baseball for a short amount of time and still managed to strike out .5 per nine of last year’s single-A balls. Expect him to make huge leaps as he learns to command his arsenal more consistently.

National: TJ White, OF (Number )

We think White — from a South Carolina The fifth round of the high school was selected-with unlimited dreams. We also think the high strikeout rate could prevent him from being a reliable hitter by putting the bat on the ball. Instead, he controlled the punch well and finished. 99/ .306/.431 Wire, home run and 92 wRC+ at Single-A Fredericksburg. Another year of physical maturity and experience could help those numbers rise even further in his second full season and make him a full-fledged team alongside Robert Hassell III, Elijah Green and James Wood.

Left shoulder Injuries kept Giralt out of the game In January he signed a contract from Venezuela for $1 million. The Brewers still decided to move him stateside last summer, and he responded by hitting. 250 with .520 OPS at 13 Arizona Composite League game. Guilarte is already known for his all-around athleticism, good speed and defensive ability at the six, and similar offensive results (maybe a little stronger) would allow his profile to explode. Milwaukee proved last year with Jackson Chourio and Sal Frelick that it knows when to get aggressive with talented prospects, and Guilarte could be next.

Cardinals: Joshua Baez, OF (Number )
There is no doubt 498 Second-round talent. His super strength helps him post a max exit speed 91.6 mph last season at Single-A Palm Beach. For specific Cardinals background, Nolan Arenado in 94 .4 mph 2012. However, Baez is limited to 47 FSL plate due to left wrist injury requiring surgery. A healthier 2021 would go a long way towards building year old outfielder as top Cardinals prospect if he can use this playing time to try to make more connections and find use for this great power method, then his prospects will be doubled.

Cubs: Cade Horton, RHP (No. 4)

Best college pitcher in 2017 In the draft, Horton missed all 2017 Played after Tommy John surgery, but played later in the spring to propel Oklahoma to second in the College World Series name. He’s here 94 quick Ball speed and 56 On the CWS with his wipeout slider mph, he can move fast after debuting this year.

Pirate: Shalin Polanco, OF (No. 15)

You never know if/when a very young international prospect will start to figure things out. The pirates give Polanco $2. 18 ten thousand sign in January 2018 and he showed some improvement in his U.S. debut last year. His tools are very real, he improved all summer and could really move to Bradenton for a full season this season.

Reds: Bryce Hubbart, LHP (No. )

Florida’s standout entry The third round of 498 was greatly large in the weekend rotation Raised his strike post-draft. That gives him a better chance to start, and his four games and athleticism on the mound point to the kind of college arm that can move fast.

This early-promising combination of striking tools and strength will be on greater display this summer, and Zavala can move fast again, whether he returns to Lake Elsinore or jumps to High-A Fort Wayne again.

Rockies: Jaden Hill, RHP (No. )

The Rockies beat Hill in the second round 2018 draft, despite the fact that he had Tommy John surgery canceled that spring.
