His amateur look was that of a slash-and-dash leadoff man with doubles power and a great idea of the strike zone. Davis was on the IL multiple times in 2022 with issues stemming from a small nondisplaced fracture of his left wrist that he suffered when he was hit by a pitch in May. Hence was picked up in the shortened 2020 draft, one of the youngest players taken that year, and in 2021 threw just eight innings on the complex, virtually all in relief. Even though Stones delivery looks like the sort that can create a power pitchers angle and shape on his fastball, it isnt a dominant in-zone pitch, and his slider/cutter plays more due to command rather than pure stuff. 19 Last Week: 4-0 Overall: 6-1, 0-0 in Pac-12 (0-0 vs. Top 25) Weekend Record: 2-0 Results Feb. 20: vs. UC Santa Barbara (Surprise, Ariz.): W 11-0 Feb. 24-27: Coppin State: W 11-1, W 16-0, W 19-5 Upcoming March 2-5: @ Cal PolyOregon State took care of business with a sweep of Coppin State in its home-opening weekend. The visual evaluation of Hassells feel to hit was consistently strong until the last couple months of 2022. Hassell doesnt have premium ball-striking power and is probably a corner outfielder, so the contact piece of his profile needs to rebound in a big way for him to continue projecting as a regular. "RPI Delta" is the change in a team's RPI since SUN, JUN 26th. All UZR (ultimate zone rating) calculations are provided courtesy of Mitchel Lichtman. A bat-only prospect with a well-rounded offensive skill set, Busch may end up a 30-grade second base defender or just play 1B/LF. 69 to No. And Chourio has that kind of power. 4FloridaSEC4FL1-3113 22 Last Week: 5-0 Overall: 8-0, 0-0 in Big 12 (0-0 vs. Top 25) Weekend Record: 2-0 Results Feb. 20: Gonzaga: W 9-8 Feb. 24-26: Western Illinois: W 11-3, W 24-9, W 6-5, W 14-8 Upcoming Feb. 28-March 1: Air Force Shriners Hospitals for Children College Classic (Houston) March 3: vs. Rice March 4: vs. Michigan March 5: vs. (12) Texas A&MTexas Tech took care of business with a four-game sweep of Western Illinois. Quero is a bat-first catching prospect far away from the big leagues. For one, hes a Gold Glove-caliber center field defender, capable of making tough plays look easy and impossible plays possible, especially around the wall. Defensively, lvarez is a bit of a mixed bag. His stuff was down in 2022 but is still good, and Rodriguez should be a mid-rotation stalwart in short order. As both the Twins and Reds (Steer was drafted by Minnesota and came to Cincinnati in the Tyler Mahle trade) searched for a viable defensive position for Steer, he backed into valuable defensive versatility that should keep him on the field in all but a few game situations. Back then, he was a switch-hitting, switch-throwing prepster who would pitch left-handed and play the infield, too talented to be a sideshow but not enough to go in the first round, as 10 high school shortstops were drafted ahead of him. Velocity, repertoire depth, and fastball control have Miller poised to be an impact, mid-rotation starter in the near future, while long-term secondary projection could eventually pull him into a different stratosphere. 18TCUBig 123TX4-81047 The Preseason poll ranked the top 35 teams in the nation. His changeup flashed plus in the Fall League, where he carried that good health and momentum and posted a 10.8 K/9. Flores will also show you an upper-80s cutter, which has more inconsistent shape but gives him a third viable weapon. From a heuristics standpoint, you cant do much better than Rodriguezs profile. Of those accolades, perhaps the most promising was his durability; given the violence in his delivery, our biggest concern has been Cavallis ability to stay healthy, so the fact that he notched over 123 innings of work without an IL stint was a welcome development. After an Opening Day upset loss to New Mexico, the Beavers have run off six straight wins. Considered too advanced for the teams Dominican complex, he made his stateside pro debut in 2019 and followed that up by posting a .941 OPS across two A-ball levels in 2021 while still a teenager. Florida hosts rival Miami this weekend. 8 TCU. Henderson is a viable shortstop defender (for now) who has plus-plus plate discipline and power. Wiemer often swings inside pitches on the outer third of the strike zone, and his in-zone swing and miss rates are on par with the bottom handful of big league outfielders who saw at least 300 PA in 2022, among names like Joey Gallo and Christopher Morel. Batys swing has made it tough for him to lift the ball in games, but a 2022 tweak may have unleashed the beast. He was working with low-90s velocity and a shapely, low-80s breaking ball at that time. We also take into account player productivity, projection about what players will be as opposed to what they currently are and how we think each player will fit into what his specific program is trying to accomplish in 2022. Lawlar is a slick shortstop defender with big power and a somewhat shaky hit tool. The broad strokes of this report read a lot like that of Adam Dunn at the same age: an XXL frame with unusual top-end speed and athleticism for his size, and a chance to fill out in a way that causes him to tumble down the defensive spectrum, but with enough power to support such a fall and then some. Yorke and his French swing (because it is evocative of Ty France) looked like a high-probability big league hitter with a well-rounded contact and power combination in Arizona, enough to project as a regular if he can stay on the dirt. 9. 42IndianaBig Ten3IN2-10323123 Things dont get any easier this weekend, as A&M makes the trip to Houston for the Shriners College Classic, which includes a rematch of last years super regional against Louisville. He had a successful foray into full-season ball, slashing .273/.360/.451 with 15 homers and 14 steals while with Low-A Myrtle Beach. RHP Paul Skenes Out of all the top aces in college baseball, Skenes was the best last weekend. After sitting 94-95 mph in 2021, hes now parked in the 96-98 mph range for entire starts, and his hardest sliders (in the 85-87 mph range) are nearly 10 mph harder than his average curveball was in 2021 (77 mph). On last look, it was stuff that profiled in the middle of a contending teams rotation, rather than at the very front. The gap between Peraza and Guardians pitcher Tanner Bibee (No. Wood has a real chance to both hit and hit for gargantuan power, and while his swing isnt geared for consistent lift at this point, he has the raw strength to do damage anyway. In 12 games, he slashed .300/.317/.550 with two home runs, four triples, and just five strikeouts. Bibee seems to have altered his stride direction so that he isnt landing quite as closed as he was at Fullerton, which appears to enable him to stay behind the baseball a little better, creating riding action on a fastball that wasnt previously as explosive. What a difference a year makes. This cemented confidence in his feel to hit and also generated pre-draft conversations about whether there was a path for Jung to get to more power in games by pulling the ball more often, and whether that would hurt his ability to make contact. Despite being this size at this age, which might typically cause long-term 1B/DH projection, Colliers defensive feet, hands, actions, and arm strength are all excellent, and make him a future plus third base defender. While this might contribute to some of his in-zone and overall swing-and-miss rates (he posted a 77% Z-contact% and 72% overall contact% in 2022, both comfortably below the big league average), Henderson shows plenty of hitterish traits that instill confidence in his 2022 output. 5 Last Week: 3-2 Overall: 5-3, 0-0 in SEC (3-2 vs. Top 25) Weekend Record: 2-0 Results Feb. 21: Central Arkansas: L 5-4 Feb. 22: Alabama-Birmingham: W 13-1 Feb. 24-26: vs. (13) UCLA: W 6-0, L 3-0, W 2-1 Upcoming Feb. 28: Austin Peay State Cambria College Classic (Minneapolis) March 3: vs. Nebraska March 4: vs. (17) Maryland March 5: @ Minnesota After getting upset Tuesday in its home opener by Central Arkansas, Vanderbilt bounced back and scored a big series win against UCLA. Over the course of two years worth of showcase play tracked by Synergy Sports, amounting to roughly 250 swings on tape, Jones never pulled a ball to the left of the left-center field gap, and all but about a dozen of his airborne balls in play were to right field. NJCAA DI Baseball Rankings Preseason - January 23 2023 Receiving Votes: Florida SouthWestern State, Gaston, John A. Logan, Kansas City Kansas, New Mexico, South Mountain, State College of Florida *First regular season poll will be released on February 27th Week 12 - May 16, 2022 Week 11 - May 9, 2022 Week 10 - May 2, 2022 Week 9 - April 25, 2022 By the middle of 2022, Bibee was sitting 95. The Big 12 has three teams and the Pac-12 two, while the American, Big Ten and Sun Belt each have one representative. His power combined with his speed and defensive fit in center field give him rare upside as a 30-plus home run center fielder hitting at or near the top of whatever lineup hes in. Carroll has evolved in some surprising ways as a hitter. Messick was quietly dominant in 2021, going 8-2 with a 3.10 ERA and 126 strikeouts in 90 innings, and hell go into 2022 with a chance to end the season as the best starting pitcher in the country. The league-wide statistical standard at third base is very high right now due to the depth of excellent players at the top of that position group, and when you compare Vargas tools and underlying data to what constitutes an average regular at the hot corner, he tends to hover around average in terms of both contact quality and frequency, and a little below when it comes to high-end power, which is consistent with his visual evaluation. That represents more turnover than the last time we conducted this exercise, as just 11 new teams entered in 2019. Our 36th-ranked draft prospect as a high schooler in 2019, Lee is a switch-hitting shortstop with above-average power who walked nearly twice as often as he struck out as a junior. Big league pitchers will be able to limit the damage Turang does by working him in the bottom half of the zone, where he struggles to lift the ball. The Red Sox have said that theyll manage his workload by DHing him and letting their righty-hitting corner bats caddy for him against some lefty starters. Casas spent most of 2022 with Triple-A Worcester and hit .273/.382/.481 there amid a two-month absence to recover from a high ankle sprain. There might be more game power here than there is raw power, or at least more game power than youd expect from someone who has some approach-related red flags. 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. Hes only been able to pull breaking balls that dont quite finish. In four innings, the senior lefty struck out six and didnt allow a hit. And lvarez wants to show you his power. He doesnt have to be put on the 40-man until after the 2024 season, but the rate at which he has been promoted so far indicates hell be in the mix for a rotation spot sooner than that. Mayo keeps hitting despite his odd swing, and we think the hit/power combo will be enough for him to be an impact player, even with a move off the dirt projected. Vargas doesnt have the sort of projectable, statuesque frame typical of a hitter in his early 20s, and despite the relevant changes to his swing, he still isnt an especially electric athlete and the cement appears quite dry on his physique, so theres not much reason to project on his raw power going forward. 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). The Creighton transfer drove in ten, along with a .579 OBP and a pair of homers. RHP Karson Ligon Ligon put up a solid freshman year for Miami, and while he doesnt strike many out, he doesnt want a ton either. He had a .318/.379/.550 slash line with 20 doubles and nine home runs and more of the same should be expected in 2022. 55Central MichiganMAC1MI2N/ANRNRNR His range and actions at third base are both fantastic, and hes an accurate thrower from all sorts of awkward platforms, but there are times when he lollipops deeper (and even some routine) throws over to first base. Hes a career .291/.388/.534 hitter with 18 home runs in 77 games, in fact. He definitely has a starters mix, but just one of his three pitches is truly plus, giving Stone the look of a no. 5Oregon StatePac-121OR11688 Abel is a prototypical power pitching prospect with huge arm strength, a plus breaking ball, and the frame to not only hold his velo all year but to perhaps keep throwing harder and harder until hes a No. 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.
