He’s an extremely patient hitter with swing and miss issues and double plus power that he hasn’t fully tapped into yet. He has no defensive value, so playing time will be another hurdle. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 67/19/75/.263/.344/.438/3, 362) Jeferson Espinal ARI, OF, 17.10 – Excellent athlete with plus speed.

Neuse hits it hard with a line drive approach and a high strikeout rate. 2021 Projection: 11/1/9/.246/.315/.372/2 Prime Projection: 74/13/62/.268/.343/.402/13, 378) Robert Dominguez NYM, RHP, 19.4 – Dominguez has a huge fastball that has reached 99 MPH with a good feel for spin and a developing changeup. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 10/3.91/1.33/168 in 160 IP, 379) Lenny Torres CLE, RHP, 20.6 – Underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2019 and didn’t pitch much in 2020. Throws a 5 pitch mix in which his 4-seamer was his only effective pitch. It comes with some strikeouts, but the hitting skills are there for that to improve, and he should chip in some stolen bases too. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection:  75/29/80/.247/.331/.471/6, 179) Jordan Walker STL, 3B, 18.10 – Selected 21st overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Walker is 6’5”, 220 pounds with a quick, athletic swing and plus power. 11 strikeouts in 29 PA shows he needs more refinement. 2021 Projection: July-27/9/31/.243/.301/.432/4 Prime Projection: 76/24/83/.259/.329/.463/7, 114) Greg Jones TB, SS, 23.1 – Late addition to the alternate site because of Tampa’s crazy depth.

Improved K% from 36.9% to 29.9%, although FB% cratered with it to 21.8%.

He’s a patient hitter with some swing and miss concerns. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 68/25/81/.252/.337/.469/0, 151) Rece Hinds CIN, 3B, 20.7 – Hinds has at least double plus power, and with news of an improved hit tool at the alt site and instructs, he has a chance to fly up prospect lists in 2021. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 68/28/77/.242/.314/.473/2, 152) Cade Cavalli WASH, RHP, 22.7 – Selected 22nd overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Cavalli has a prototypical starter build at 6’4”, 226 pounds with mid 90’s heat, two swing and miss breaking balls, and a developing changeup.

Throws a 5 pitch mix with mid rotation upside. ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 11/4.02/1.31/174 in 176 IP, 336) Joey Cantillo SD, LHP, 20.3 – Impressed at Full-A with a pitching line of 1.93/0.87/128/27 in 98 IP. Walk rates were high in college with a 4.0 BB/9 in 152 IP, but his control/command is better than that number indicates. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 13/3.66/1.23/209 in 183 IP, 48) Alek Thomas ARI, OF, 20.11 – Reports were all positive from alt camp. 2021 Projection: 23/2/18/.244/.298/.386/4 Prime Projection: 67/12/61/.264/.321/.403/15, 356) Mario Feliciano MIL, C, 22.4 – Power showed up at High-A in 2019 with a career high 19 homers and career low 38.4% GB% in 116 games. Mid 90’s heat and three potentially above average secondaries gives Howard legitimate top of the rotation potential.

ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 77/20/76/.273/.335/.431/6, 157) Michael Toglia COL, 1B, 22.7 – Switch hitter who is stronger from the left side, but made adjustments to his right handed swing at alternate camp which resulted in 3 homers from the right side to close out the “season.” ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 73/26/84/.252/.334/.466/2, 158) Jackson Kowar KC, RHP, 24.6 – Double plus changeup with a mid 90’s fastball, but breaking ball lags behind. When healthy, Romero has major strikeout stuff with a wipeout slider, plus fastball, and plus changeup. ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 10/3.81/1.30/163 in 150 IP, 282) Braxton Garrett MIA, LHP, 21.8 – 7th overall pick of the 2016 draft. He will almost certainly stick behind the plate, and has a chance to hit for both average and power. He throws a dominant changeup (.203 xwOBA), a high spin rate 93.6 MPH fastball, an average slider, and a little used sinker. He has a plus power/speed combo and his hit tool concerns aren’t as loud as they were pre draft. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 79/21/75/.258/.326/.434/16, 358) Tyler Nevin COL, 1B, 22.10 – Career high 39.8% FB% and 12% BB% while continuing to make good contact at Double-A (16.7% K%). He relies heavily on his 91.9 MPH 4-seam fastball that he threw 62% of the time. 2021 Projection: 8/4.43/1.42/151 in 155 IP, 227) Michael Baumann BAL, RHP, 25.7 – Flexor mass strain ended his season in August. Solid pro debut, slashing .263/.387/.394 with 2 homers, 2 steals, and a 29/19 K/BB in 28 games. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 72/15/67/.258/.325/.416/11, 478) Brenton Doyle COL, OF, 21.11 – Drafted 129th overall, Doyle has completely demolished the competition in his 3 years in Division II and then in his pro debut in the Pioneer League. Throws a plus sinker/slider combo which produces high groundball rates (45.1% GB%) and high strikeout rates (9.26 K/9). Has plus speed but going 15 for 31 on the basepaths show the base stealing skills need work. He signed for $750,000 out of Cuba, so there is certainly some underlying skills here. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 79/9/56/.273/.345/.405/23, 369) Andy Young ARI, 2B, 24.11 – Old for level but cut his strikeout rate down to career best 16.8% at High-A (17.1% at Double-A), and didn’t sacrifice any power in the process (21 homers). ETA: 2020 Prime Projection: 48/14/55/.252/.318/.423/2, 370) Lane Thomas STL, OF, 23.8 – Stayed healthy and broke out in 2018, slashing .264/.333/.489 with 27 homers, 17 steals, and a 134/50 K/BB in in 132 games at Triple-A.

He’s 6’3” with a smooth lefty swing that is easy to dream on. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 85/27/91/.272/.348/.490/7, 81) Garrett Crochet CHW, LHP, 21.9 – Selected 11th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Crochet made it all the way up to the Majors and unleashed an unhittable, double plus 100.1 MPH fastball on the league. He throws a mid 90’s fastball with a slider and changeup that flash plus. 2020 Projection: June-45/15/52/.266/.316/.451/4 Prime Projection: 85/29/96/.279/.335/.492/5, 15) Adley Rutschman BAL, C, 22.2 – Selected 1st overall in the 2019 draft, Rutschman is a plus defensive catcher with a middle of the order offensive profile. Power hasn’t shown up yet, but at 6’3”, 184 pounds there is certainly more to come. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 87/18/73/.286/.362/.442/16, 100) Taylor Trammell SEA, OF, 23.6 – Stats in 14 instructional league games were weak, hitting only .173, but coaches came away impressed with his at-bats and claimed he hit into some bad luck. Alvarez is ranked as Houston’s number 23 overall prospect- trailing just behind fellow outfielder Kyle Tucker and starting pitcher Forrest Whitley.A.J. He throws a 5 pitch mix headlined by a plus changeup.  ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 66/19/74/.272/.345/.457/5, 359) Nasim Nunez MIA, SS, 19.7 – Drafted 46th overall, Nunez has plus speed with a good feel to hit, but has a very low 84 MPH average exit velocity. 10.4% BB%, 88.9 MPH exit velocity and 14.3 degree launch angle are all very strong marks. Profiles as a back end starter with mid-rotation upside. 2021 Projection: June-38/11/43/.267/.329/.436/0 Prime Projection: 74/22/77/.276/.342/.460/0, 105) Bryce Jarvis ARI, RHP, 23.3 – Selected 18th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Jarvis took a major step forward in 2020 with his fastball ticking up into the mid 90’s. 2020 Projection: 6/4.41/1.34/86 in 110 IP, 378) Kwang-hyun Kim STL, LHP, 31.9 – Throws a 4 pitch mix with a low 90’s fastball and plus slider. When healthy, he had a solid approach at the plate and plus raw power, but was likely destined for 1B even before the injury. ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 64/22/79/.263/.336/.462/2, 295) Greg Deichmann OAK, OF, 23.10 – Wrist injury which required surgery in September tanked his 2018, but when healthy, he has double plus raw power and has a good feel to hit. ETA: 2020 Prime Projection: 73/24/81/.258/.331/.452/0, 296) Mariel Bautista CIN, OF, 21.6 – 5-category upside with the plus tools to back it up, but Bautista still hasn’t made it out of rookie ball, so I wouldn’t trust the numbers. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 76/18/69/.268/.325/.423/16, 297) Josiah Gray LAD, RHP, 21.3 – Raw for his age because he was recently converted to pitcher, but Gray possesses a potential plus fastball/slider combo and an athletic delivery which should eventually translate to good control/command. ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 12/3.81/1.22/159 in 164 IP, 298) Thomas Szapucki NYM, LHP, 22.10 – Tommy John surgery kept Szapucki out for the entire 2018 season. He has one of the best hit tools in the draft and while he isn’t projected for huge homer or steal totals, he should be an all category stat stuffer. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 86/21/74/.281/.348/.456/9, 47) Asa Lacy KC, LHP, 21.10 – Selected 4th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Lacy is a 6’4” lefty with a nasty mid 90’s fastball and two potentially plus secondaries in his changeup and slider. He crushed 37 homes at Triple-A, and considering the solid debut, Brown has a chance to be a late bloomer breakout. Escotto is a good athlete with plus speed and developing power. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 78/22/72/.260/.330/.446/16, 270) Alex Faedo DET, RHP, 24.5 – Fastball velocity ticked up en route to his most impressive season as a pro with a pitching line of 3.90/1.12/134/25 in 115.1 IP. ETA: 2025 Prime Projection: 65/23/72/.248/.326/.462/5, 281) Francisco Morales PHI, RHP, 21.5 – Great stuff with a mid 90’s fastball and plus slider, but changeup lags behind and has major bullpen risk. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 9/3.92/1.34/159 in 153 IP, 282) Luis Garcia HOU, RHP, 24.4 – Mediocre MLB debut with a 9/5 K/BB in 12.1 IP. Hit 4 homers with a 39.8% K% in his 128 PA MLB debut. Strikeout machine (12.4 K/9), but lack of fastball control (5.3 BB/9) could relegate him to an elite pen option. College home run totals don’t exactly jump out at you (14 homers in 112 games including the Cape) and there are strikeout issues (103 K’s), but the Yankee Stadium short porch should help the power play up and his ability to hit to all fields gives him the chance to hit for average even with high strikeout totals. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 73/24/79/.258/.343/.454/5, 135) Reid Detmers LAA, LHP, 21.9 – Selected 10th overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Detmers is a 6’2” lefty with plus command over low 90’s heat and a deadly curveball.

Plus speed with a good plate approach and enough pop for 10+ homers. ETA: 2020 Prime Projection: 61/11/52/.263/.325/.413/14, 365) Tucupita Marcano SD, 2B, 19.7 – Plus hit and plus speed. 2020 Projection: September-8/2/6/.225/.308/.424/1 Prime Projection: 68/20/64/.248/.339/.447/6, 220) Ryan Weathers SD, LHP, 20.4 – Solid first full season of pro ball with a pitching line of 3.84/1.24/90/18 in 96 IP in Full-A. 26% K% split between two levels at rookie ball shows there is still plenty of development to go.  ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 86/28/95/.268/.355/.498/14, 36) Danny Jansen TOR, C, 24.0 – Excellent contact percentage-launch angle combo whose exit velocities don’t jump off the page but generates power with quality contact. 2020 Projection: July-28/6/24/.269/.320/.421/6 Prime Projection: 81/18/66/.278/.335/.437/13, 248) Tucupita Marcano SD, SS/3B/2B, 20.7 – Elite contact numbers translated to full season ball with a 8.9% K%. Reports from alt camp were positive about the development of his changeup, now giving him the chance for 3 plus pitches. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 14/3.68/1.25/190 in 180 IP, 90) Josiah Gray LAD, RHP, 23.2 – Electric fastball/slider combo with plus command. Tate’s stuff has taken a step back in pro ball, but the plus athleticism is still there. Ultimate role is still undecided. 2020 Projection: 6/4.26/1.35/99 in 110 IP, 379) Roansy Contreras NYY, RHP, 20.5 – 3 pitch mix with a low 90’s fastball and an advanced feel to pitch. Assuming he returns to full health, he has a plus fastball/slider combo with a developing change. With a mid 90’s fastball, plus breaking ball, and developing changeup, the upside is considerable if he can hold those gains. 26.5 whiff% is better than his 32.2% K%, and the exit velocity numbers weren’t too bad (87.1/93.5 MPH AVG/FB exit velo). On the downside, he is old for a high school hitter, the strikeout rate was a bit high for a 19-year-old at Short-A (28.5%) and his flyball percentages were relatively low. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 73/27/86/.266/.353/.482/2, 135) Gabriel Arias SD, SS, 20.1 – Came on in the 2nd half, slashing .355/.385/.565 with 10 homers and a 48/11 K/BB in final 51 games at High-A. At 6’4”, 238 pounds the power was never in question, so the relative contact ability is very encouraging. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 79/31/88/.268/.347/.503/3, 52) Evan White SEA, 1B, 24.1 –  Carried over the power gains he made towards the end of 2018 into 2019 with 18 homers and a career low 42.4% GB% in 92 games at Double-A. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 87/26/88/.274/.351/.481/9, 36) Noelvi Marte SEA, OF, 19.6 – Struggled early at alternate camp, which was to be expected considering he has never even played stateside in the minors, but was impressing by the end of it by cutting down on strikeouts and stinging the ball much harder.  ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 76/23/81/.274/.331/.452/9, 287) Jose Salas MIA, SS, 16.11 – Signed for $2.8 million, Salas is a projectable 6’2”, 180 pounds with a quick bat and good athleticism. ETA: 2026 Prime Projection: 74/21/77/.261/.333/.436/11, 288) Seth Corry SF, LHP, 21.5 – Dominated in his full season debut with a pitching line of 1.76/1.07/172/58 in 122.2 IP. Team officials were gushing over the prodigious power and elite athleticism. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection:  84/30/92/.252/.338/.509/16, 15) Jeter Downs BOS, 2B, 22.8 – Here’s your obligatory alternate camp prospect porn of Downs ripping a homer. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 53/18/61/.244/.316/.452/0, 294) Yeison Santana CHC, SS, 20.4 – Santana has displayed a good feel for contact with solid tools across the board. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 77/18/69/.276/.347/.426/13, 295) Kyren Paris LAA, SS, 19.5 – Paris has above average speed with a patient plate approach and developing power. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 77/16/72/.267/.343/.416/16, 296) Nick Loftin KC, SS, 22.6 – Selected 32nd overall in the 2020 MLB Draft, Loftin stands out for his ability to get the bat on the ball (48 K’s in 122 NCAA games) and his defensive versality. Struggles with fastball command and was shut down with a shoulder injury in early June. Had an impressive full season debut with a pitching line of 2.97/1.03/135/29 in 112 IP split between Full-A and Advanced-A. ETA: 2020 Prime Projection: 10/4.11/1.29/152 in 165 IP, 331) Cionel Perez HOU, LHP, 23.0 – Plus fastball and plus control/command but needs to improve secondaries. 2021 Projection: May-61/18/66/.251/.322/.445/3 Prime Projection: 77/24/83/.273/.341/.468/5, 79) Bobby Dalbec BOS, 1B, 25.9 – Insane power (99.8 MPH FB/LD exit velocity with 8 homers in 23 games) and insane strikeouts (42.4% K%). Has shown some beastly power in Spring Training. ETA: Mid 2019 Prime Projection: 87/26/88/.276/.345/.481/10, 57) Nathaniel Lowe TB, 1B, 23.9 – Major power breakout in 2018 which is backed up by changes in his swing and conditioning. ETA: Late 2019 Prime Projection: 79/28/86/.272/.348/.486/1, 58) Drew Waters ATL, OF, 20.3 – Still raw but a potential 5-category stud. He doesn’t have any elite tools, but has the chance to be an all category contributor. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 78/20/74/.267/.333/.434/12, 205) Alexander Vargas NYY, SS, 19.5 – Showed plus contact ability in 2019 (12.7% K%) with plus speed (13 steals) and should start hitting the ball with more authority as he gets stronger. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 81/14/62/.272/.338/.411/21, 206) Brennan Malone PIT, RHP, 20.7 – Malone is a power pitcher who throws a 4 pitch mix headlined by a potentially plus fastball/slider combo. He’s a plus athlete with plus bat speed, so if the hit tool ever comes around, the fantasy upside is considerable. 2020 Projection: Prime Projection: 79/18/73/.248/.325/.429/18, 115) Andres Gimenez NYM, SS, 21.7 – Mediocre season at Double-A but finished strong in the Fall League, slashing .371/.413/.586 with 2 homers, 2 steals, and a 15/4 K/BB in 18 games. He throws a 4 pitch mix with a 93.2 MPH fastball and an 84.3 MPH changeup as his best/most used secondary with plus control. 2020 Projection: 10/4.02/1.23/169 in 172 IP, 100) Jose Garcia CIN, SS, 22.0 – After a mediocre stateside debut in 2018, Garcia shook the rust off and put up a +133 wRC+ in the pitcher friendly FSL. His stuff took a step back in 2019 because of a bone spur in his elbow which required surgery after the season. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 74/14/65/.263/.322/.410/19, 215) Jeremy De La Rosa WASH, OF, 19.2 – Advanced enough to go straight to stateside ball as a 17 year old in 2019, and Washington continued to push him in 2020 by bringing him to the alt site where he was able to hold his own against advanced competition. Groshans is an all around good hitter who can use the whole field, and at 6’3”, 205 pounds, will only continue to grow into more power. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 10/3.95/1.27/160 in 160 IP, 282) Luis Alexander Basabe CHW, OF, 23.7 – Broken hamate bone in February led to a power outage at Double-A with only 3 homers and a 48.3% GB% in 69 games. Considering the injury history, he may end up in a pen role. 2020 Projection: 2/4.31/1.37/37 in 40 IP Prime Projection: 5/3.71/1.24/75 in 75 IP, 447) Jose De Leon CIN, RHP, 27.8 – If he can remain healthy, which is far from a given, there could still be some juice left in this tank. Everyone is looking at up at the Rays on this year's list, but Tampa Bay isn't the only system loaded with talent. Likely profiles as a back end starter. 2020 Projection: 1/4.68/1.41/19 in 20 IP Prime Projection: 9/4.19/1.35/150 in 155 IP, 422) Jaylin Davis SF, OF, 25.9 – Power broke out at Double-A and Triple-A with 35 homers, but fly ball rates are still low and strikeout rates have been high throughout his career. Has plus speed but going 15 for 31 on the base paths show the base stealing skills need work. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 73/8/52/.283/.331/.391/15, 351) Nick Allen OAK, SS, 21.6 – Not going to win you any leagues, but his plus defense gives him a chance to win a full time job eventually. Hasn’t had the full on breakout that would win him a full time job, but has the talent to slowly work his way into the lineup. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 10/3.91/1.33/168 in 160 IP, 346) Gabriel Moreno TOR, C, 20.2 – Elite contact rates (11.1%) with developing power (12 homers in 82 games at Full-A) but isn’t a lock to stick behind the plate. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 52/18/59/.273/.325/.426/2, 347) Jack Herman PIT, OF, 20.6 – Hit tool didn’t look as good in 2019 at Full-A as it did in his pro debut in rookie ball (14.2% K% vs. 29.3% K%), but the game power broke out with 13 homers in 75 games. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 73/21/78/.252/.334/.444/5, 348) Ji-Hwan Bae PIT, 2B/SS, 20.8 – Prototypical lead off hitter with double plus speed and little power. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 78/8/53/.276/.343/.389/26, 349) Sammy Siani PIT, OF, 19.4 – Drafted 37th overall, Siani has plus speed with a good feel to hit and an uppercut swing that portends more power coming in the future. ETA: 2024 Prime Projection: 78/18/74/.265/.337/.413/18, 350) Victor Victor Mesa MIA, OF, 23.8 – Strong contact rates and speed translated to stateside ball at High-A and Double-A, but it came with a very low walk rate and absolutely zero power. ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 13/3.76/1.23/191 in 182 IP, 77) Brent Honeywell TB, RHP, 25.0 – Had surgery in June to repair a fractured right elbow which he suffered while rehabbing from 2017 Tommy John surgery. Only one team will win a ring in 2021. Who has the edge? He also gets high marks for his athleticism, feel to hit, and plus speed. I would keep my expectations in check. 2019 Projection: 9/4.28/1.32/151 in 160 IP, 174) Brock Burke TEX, LHP, 22.8 – Dominated in his final nine starts of the season after being called up to Double-A with a pitching line of 1.95/0.96/71/14 in 55.1 IP. When healthy, Espinoza has a mid 90’s fastball with two potential plus secondaries in his curveball and changeup. ETA: 2021 Prime Projection: 10/3.81/1.27/158 in 150 IP, 116) Isan Diaz MIA, 2B, 22.10 – Power, patience, and a little speed. ETA: 2020 Prime Projection: 88/20/73/.250/.350/.445/10, 117) Heliot Ramos SF, OF, 19.7 – Surface numbers were mediocre in full season debut, but 25.4% K% was actually kinda encouraging after striking out 31.8% of the time in rookie ball. ETA: 2022 Prime Projection: 77/24/83/.253/.326/.468/11, 118) Monte Harrison MIA, OF, 23.8 – Looks more like a basketball player than a baseball player out on the field. After the massive trade for Francisco Lindor, where do the Mets stand now and how will they fare in the NL East in 2021. Also looked better vs secondary pitches. The top owners in your dynasty league have been able to reap massive rewards by acquiring prospects like Juan Soto, Vlad Jr., Ronald Acuna, Victor Robles and Wander Franco within a few years of their signing at bargain rates that were not commensurate with their universally agreed upon elite talent (I know, I know … Kevin Maitan exists too). He’s 6’4”, 195 pounds with big stuff, but health concerns has dimmed the hype a bit. ETA: 2023 Prime Projection: 10/3.95/1.27/160 in 160 IP, 315) Ryan Jensen CHC, RHP, 23.4 – Jensen throws both his 4 seamer and 2 seamer at 96 MPH with a potentially above average slider and developing changeup.
