He doesnt have traditional long-term power projection, but hes already so powerful that if all the pop Domnguez ever has is what hes working with now, it will still be plenty for him to be a good everyday big leaguer for as long as hes a center fielder. OF Jared Wegner An experienced college bat, Wegner was a huge part of the Razorbacks success this week. That said, Wood is already defying convention by looking as good as he does out there at his current size. The Diamond Dogs (5-3) claimed their first win against a top-5 ranked opponent since 2004, sending the defending national champions home with their second loss of the season. Harrisons fastball sits 93-94 mph, topping out around 98, and it plays up thanks to its shape and the deceptively low lefty arm slot Harrison hurls it from. The A-Sun, CAA, MVC, MWC, WAC and WCC landed two teams apiece in the Top 100. He still has some relief risk. OF Chris Cannizzaro Cannizzaro and sophomore phenom Carson DeMartini had the same slugging percentage and batting average this past week, but Cannizzaro gets the edge due to his three walks. There was some demographic push and pull happening in the guts of Montgomerys amateur profile that we can already reflect on a bit. But his geographic and two-sport background Montgomery was a high-level hooper in high school were arguably late-bloomer traits. Previous ranking: No. Because hes a bit stiff, its possible the grind of a full-season will impact his defensive mobility and even his offense if he has to catch 80-plus games. Still, lvarez was 20 and facing Double- and Triple-A pitching, and its prudent to project growth in this area. Bleis signed for $1.5 million out of the Dominican Republic in January of 2021, and after a solid showing in the DSL that year, he created huge buzz on the complex in Fort Myers throughout 2022 because of his bat speed and power. The Tigers put together a 2-1 record at the event with the lone loss coming to Iowa. A big-league ready, mid-rotation starter, Waldichuks arsenal also includes a changeup that he finishes with remarkable precision, but which he reserves almost exclusively for right-handed opponents (hes only thrown one changeup to a big-league lefty). He was a known bat-first prospect from California but time off recovering from a shoulder surgery and the pandemic made him tough to properly evaluate before the draft, tough enough that he was not generally seen as a first round prospect. He does look quite vulnerable out there but it isnt an issue opposing pitchers have consistently been able to exploit just yet. Just three days after signing, Jones suffered a left posterior labral tear while hitting, another glitch in the Matrix that seems to be causing every high-profile Diamondbacks prospect to suffer a severe shoulder injury. Perhaps the best athlete playing college baseball today, he hit .311/.453/.646 with 18 home runs last season. His raw power has improved considerably over the last two years, and at age 19, he already has thunderous pull-side pop and is lifting the ball consistently in games. He started the season at High-A, advancing to Double-A in late May, where his strikeout rate increased slightly, but not at all to a concerning degree. Hendersons hard-hit rate (52%), average exit velocity (92 mph), max exit velo for his age (116 mph), barrel rate in the minors, and anything else that measures power and contact quality are all a 60 or 70 on the scouting scale, and so is his plate discipline. His trademark breaking ball, which has plus-plus spin and flashes huge depth, tends to finish in the strike zone and isnt yet a consistent putaway pitch. Even if he plays nothing but first base from the jump, Walker will still produce enough power to be a consistent 3-WAR All-Star, and theres superlative thump here even at that position. He was a coveted prospect as a prep player, but his strong commitment to Cal Poly, where his dad coaches, and some general concerns about his physical longevity due to a back issue pushed the industrys assessment of him down, so he went to school. Synergy Sports has film of Collier seeing about 1,300 pitches since 2020, a gigantic sample for a teenage prospect. He actually looks more comfortable and accurate making max-effort throws from deep in the hole than he does when moving toward the first base line. A rookie more than he is a prospect, Sengas splitter and fastball velocity fit in the middle of a contenders rotation. He has top-of-the-rotation stuff but the injuries make it more likely that Cleveland proactively moves him to the bullpen. Harrisons body has thickened pretty quickly, but he throws hard and has diverse fastball utility and great secondary stuff. After he went second overall in the 2021 draft, Leiter rested for the remainder of that season, having racked up 110 innings on the mound for Vanderbilt. Neto dials down his footwork with two strikes and becomes even tougher to put away. His in-zone contact rate on the year (89%) is very impressive for someone who detractors feared would be raw upon his entry into pro ball, and Montgomery is already doing measureable damage (based on his barrel rate, hard-hit rate, and other sourced metrics assessing impact contact) on par with a typical starting big league shortstop. As Jackson worked out on one field and minor leaguers played and took BP on the quads other three diamonds, he stood apart from the rest in virtually every way. A physical lefty with mid-90s arm strength and a mind-bending slider, Tiedemann has become one of the minors highest-ceiling arms. He was also one of the better rotational athletes available, with one of the loosest, most beautiful swings in the class. To see all the great stories in this issue, CLICK HERE. With just under a month remaining until opening weekend of the 2022 college baseball season, D1Baseball's Kendall Rogers and Aaron Fitt sat down with us to break down their preseason top 25. Hassells performance tanked after the Juan Soto trade, and he broke his hamate in Arizona after the regular season. He has tended to strikeout at a 20% or lower clip throughout his pro career, even when chase was an issue, which is very impressive considering Ramos age relative to the levels to which hes been assigned. Though hes mostly started so far and has three nasty pitches, Millers delivery is very violent and his injury history suggests he may only have so many bullets, so we expect Oakland will put him on the big league roster in fairly short order, perhaps in a relief role. Teams 1-5Teams 6-10Teams 11-20Teams 21-30Teams 31-40Teams 41-50Teams 51-60Teams 61-70Teams 71-80Teams 81-90Teams 91-100, D1Baseball Top 100 Programs: 2022 Domnguez also wasnt seen facing live pitching very much as an amateur, so while his showcase tools were evident, there wasnt as much confidence in his hit tool as is typical of a top-of-the-class prospect. He also has sizable raw power thanks to his plus bat speed and a promising early-career bat-to-ball track record. This level of athleticism might be an indication that Rodriguez will find a way to mature into more raw power despite not having a traditionally projectable frame. Weve concluded he does. He rarely chases and spoils lots of well-executed pitches, grinding away at opposing pitchers. RHP Bryce Cunningham Vandys bullpen was lights out in week one and it all started with Cunningham, who struck out seven in four innings of relief. Hes a good enough defender that hed probably being playing shortstop had he ended up at Arizona State, but in pro ball the keystone is Johnsons likeliest defensive home given his maxed-out, stocky build and what projects to be somewhat limited range. 40Notre DameACC10IN1N/ANR8868 Carter looks like a high-OBP, table-setting center fielder in the Brandon Nimmo mold. The Baseball America poll is voted on by staff members of the Baseball America magazine. 15. Short but not small, his lack of length and size is actually an advantage for Johnsons swing, as he can enjoy a bat path geared for power and lift without it being too long. In Casas case, there is so much lefty-hitting power here that we are still buying him as an above-average big league run producer at first base. It shows above-average arm-side action on occasion, but hes only throwing it 12% of the time. The ultra-advanced White has plus command of four good pitches. 1B Nick Kurtz I could have gone with multiple players here, as Rake Forest was in full effect this week. Previous ranking: No. In fact, his dastardly mid-80s splitter, which falls off the table and finishes below the strike zone, is easily his best offering, garnering twice as many swings and misses as his fastball in 2022, and about as many whiffs as the rest of his many pitches combined. In 18 at-bats, Vastine slashed .444/.500/.833 with two bombs and a double. 16 spot after an impressive series win against then-No. 2022 D1Baseball Preseason Top 25 Rankings Top 25 D1 Baseball Staff - January 18, 2022 Texas is No. Juaron Watts-Brown, RHP, Long Beach State to Oklahoma State 2022: 4-4, 3.68 ERA, 73.1 IP, 29 BB, 111 K, .194 AVG Watts-Brown announced himself as one of the best starting pitchers on the west. Even though he has no defensive position (Buschs issues at second base go beyond just range, and he isnt a fit there no matter what the rules around shifting are), he is one of the more well-rounded near-ready bats in the minors and could play an integral role for the Dodgers in 2023, though the addition of J.D. On defense, Rodriguezs size is both a feature and a bug. The top five is unchanged this week, as Florida, Stanford, Louisville and Vanderbilt again follow LSU. Frelicks style of hitting should enable doubles (and some triples) pop, but there isnt likely to be any kind of over-the-fence power here, so little that one could argue Frelick belongs south of the 50 FV tier even if he were a lock to stay in center field. Amador is a well-rounded middle infield prospect with a smaller, almost maxed-out frame that compares to Jimmy Rollins or Domingo Leyba. Buschs swing is simple but still athletic and explosive. If most hitters leg kicks and move forward are outies, Mayos is an inny his front foot often lands closer to his rear foot than where it began. Major League and Minor League Baseball data provided by Major League Baseball. 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. He has enough raw power to do damage to all-fields and Paradas feel to hit weaponizes it, as he often hits the ball where its pitched, driving stuff on the outer edge to right field, pulling pitches on the inner third, and spraying everything in between. While his ball/strike recognition isnt good, Tovar is otherwise an advanced hitter. He tends to throw his two breaking balls (his curveballs shape pairs especially nicely with his fastball) in the zone, often early in counts, and then use the fastball as a finishing pitch. With a good team around him, expect more of the same from Dettmer, who will lead this A&M pitching staff. Though he does his homer damage almost exclusively to his pull side, Berry slices breaking balls away from him to the opposite field, and most of his non-extra-base hits come that way. 5 to No. He hit .405/.488/.746 with 17 doubles, 12 home runs and 58 RBIs during the spring while also putting up a 3.43 ERA in 21 innings on the mound. His on-paper whiff and chase rates are about average, while his peak power and hard hit rates are at the top of the scale for a hitter his age. Of the teams that were already in the Top 100 in 2019, Tennessee made the biggest jump, catapulting 52 spots from No. That caveat extends to his defense, where Luciano continues to look miscast as a shortstop. His peak velocity has returned, and he has been sitting 94-97 and touching 99-100 with upshot angle and carry. Both can be in the lineup every night because of Rodriguezs defensive versatility and the universal DH, and a more liberal timeshare behind the plate might help keep them both healthier and more consistently productive on offense. For the purpose of this exercise, we dont care what happened in the 1970s or 80s, or even the 90s thats ancient history to a potential recruit in 2022. Hes a young, switch-hitting catcher with cartoonish offensive numbers (especially from a bat-to-ball standpoint) and uncommon defensive versatility, as hes played a bunch of second base and left field as well. Between the two Triple-A squads, Wesneski tossed a total of 110 innings before being called upon to fill out the Cubs rotation. He should be the Mets primary catcher as soon as most of the big league pitching staff feels confident and comfortable throwing to him. His 40-man timeline presents the Cardinals with what would likely be a seamless transition from MVP candidate Paul Goldschmidt to Walker if they so choose, with Walker possibly DHing most days during Goldys contract year. On paper, Cappe has performed well from a bat-to-ball standpoint early in his career, and he has very exciting raw power projection because of his wide receiver-ish frame. Hes begun to solve the former problem by occasionally catching on one knee with one leg splayed out, la Carlos Ruiz, which allows him to be lower to the ground and present low pitches moving back toward the zone. Unique defensive versatility (C/2B/OF) and premium feel for contact make Rodriguez a core part of Pittsburghs future. Though he lacked present power and typical frame-based power projection, there was enthusiasm surrounding Frelicks catalytic offensive qualities. It comes out of his hand from a high arm slot that looks like the kind optimized for data-friendly ride, but the pitchs downhill angle makes it less of a weapon at the letters and actually makes it very vulnerable within the strike zone. Hernandez has a great skill and athleticism foundation, and he already has incredible power for a shortstop his age, capable of hitting oppo lasers. 1 or 2 starter. Previous ranking: No. The Rangers took him 50th overall and he signed for $1.25 million. The Mariners drafted him in the fourth round and have deployed him as a starter so far. He performed well during a September call-up to New York, posting a BABIP-aided .306/.404/.429 line in 18 games. Add to that his plus-plus defense at an up-the-middle position, and hes on track for star-level everyday center field role. Caminero is much bigger than his team-listed height and weight, and is very likely a third base-only fit, though the Rays continue to give him some middle infield reps. 58KentuckySEC13KY20584154 2ArkansasSEC2AR1131312 The rip was more explosive than his shoulder could handle, and part of it tore away from the bone. Berry has no position but raked in college, including after he left hitter-friendly Tucson and faced SEC arms. He has plus feet, range, and actions, and will make throws from all kinds of odd platforms, including when hes backhanding balls to his right and throwing on the run. His 2022 line (.263/.339/.459) was solid if unspectacular, though some of the reduction from his performance in 2021 is simply due to exiting the Cal League for the more muted offensive environment in the Northwest. His long speed gives him a shot to stay in center field, but his routes to balls can be a bit of an adventure. The 20-year-old finished the season having performed exactly at the Double-A league average over his 86 games there despite being about four years younger than the average player at that level. His finishing pitch, though, is his slider, a nasty upper-80s sweeper that generated a 50% whiff rate and 38% chase rate in 2022. He had a paltry 7% swinging strike rate to go along with an amazing 90% z-contact% and 85% overall contact rate. He generates bigger exit velocity than his size would imply, but because he tends to offer at pitchers pitches, it has resulted in a groundball rate around the 50% mark. Considering how strong he is and how much contact he makes, there is a shocking dearth of measurable, high-quality contact happening here. The USAToday/ESPN Coaches Poll is voted on by a panel of 31 Division I baseball coaches. Its tough to account for what sort of long-term impact Lees injury history will have on his defense, and Carlos Correas presence is also a factor, but in a vacuum he projects as an above-average everyday shortstop. Hes also adept at positioning his body to be ready to throw as he fields the baseball, his transfer is quick, and his internal clock is well-calibrated. His slider tunnels better with the four-seamer, but its whiff and chase rates have been more pedestrian. Over the week, Dickerson produced a 1.141 OPS with three doubles and a triple. But its shape, while deep, is a less-than-ideal pairing with his fastball. 1VanderbiltSEC1TN11221 1, Florida State surges into D1Baseball's top 25 after Week 2, 2023 Round Rock Baseball Classic: Schedule, how to watch LSU, Iowa, K-State, Sam Houston, First No. The Golden Eagles will need to get back on track quickly, as they have a big week ahead, facing Mississippi State Tuesday and hosting Dallas Baptist this weekend. He slashed .282/.429/.492 at North Carolina and is a .267/.374/.493 career hitter so far in the minors, spending most of 2022 at Triple-A and joining the 40-man roster after the season. Ortiz had one of the fastest ascents up the minor league ladder in 2022 and now projects as a mid-rotation starter or elite reliever in Pittsburgh, depending on what he can develop beyond his lethal fastball/slider combo. His swing is a spectacle, lots of fun when hes on time and frustrating when hes late, utilizing a narrow, open stance and a huge leg kick. Feb. 28-March 1: vs Virginia Commonwealth. Lesko hasnt thrown a pro pitch yet due to TJ rehab, but his changeup and pre-injury velocity and fastball playability demand he be one here toward the back. He was coming off a putrid 2021 in which he hit just .188, the first severe offensive struggles of a career that, to that point, had been all about offensive performance. Its fair to consider him a high-floor, low-variance prospect because Romos defensive ability and rocket arm make him very likely to be a plus defender at maturity, and even a one-note style of offense (Romo both lacks power and is relatively impatient) tends to profile at catcher. For now, its amazing how sentient his feel to hit is considering his age and size. He spent a year at a JUCO, where he was good but not totally dominant, to the consternation and befuddlement of some scouts. His approach is solid, though there are some issues chasing breaking balls, and his in-zone swing-and-miss was a fair bit below average in 2022 (he swings inside a lot of sliders), but were talking about a 20-year-old at Double-A here. His Trackman data makes clear why his offense is so worthy of this line of development. DI indoor T&F championship selections revealed, How La. McGarrys mid-80s slider and low-80s changeup are both plus, but his control issues extend to those pitches. Hes a plus athlete who would have been a Day Two pick as a position player, and his delivery is smooth and well coordinated, allowing for continued projection of Jobes command and control. They were joined in the top five by Stanford, Tennessee, Ole Miss and Wake Forest, which entered the top five after Texas A&M had an ugly weekend against Portland. Best D2 Baseball Schools. Hes now a career .303/.394/.533 hitter and has had meaningful statistical success up through Double-A, where he spent about a month toward the end of 2022. Rafaela is also capable of playing a couple of spots on the infield, though not as well, and unless his approach is actually a problem and shifts Rafaela into a premium utility role, hes probably just going to play center field all the time. In 2021, Olson spent time at both High- and Double-A, and ended the season with a combined strikeout rate of 26%, while walking 11.6%. Editor's note: The following article was published first on d1baseball.com. A stiff, upright hitter, Diaz might have some issues with fastballs running in on his hands at the big league level, as he tended to be late on the ones he saw at Double- and Triple-A, driving them almost exclusively to the opposite field. While his profile is that of an offense-first catcher, lvarez is unlikely to be a true liability back there and has more than enough stick to make up for his defensive deficiencies. Montgomery raked his way to Double-A, where he spent the last couple weeks of his first full pro season as part of Project Birmingham, a de facto instructs and evaluation period for Chicagos best mid- and upper-level prospects. He hit a whopping .324/.373/.600 at Low-A Carolina during the first half of the year, then slashed a more pedestrian .252/.317/.488 (as an 18-year-old!) The bumps and bruises suffered from catching can sometimes level players for whole seasons, and Davis had a lot of them in 2022. 1 team in the land in the latest D1Baseball Top 25 Rankings. We are still in a holding pattern with Veen because the length of his swing continues to make it very difficult for him to turn on fastballs. Unranked.

He does not take casual BP hacks he maxes out and swings with all-out effort, which extends to his in-game approach, a feature that gives some scouts pause and worry that big league pitchers will pull the rug out from under him. 96UNC GreensboroSoCon3NC9N/ANRNRNR 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). Endy had an incredible 2022 statline .323/.407/.590 most of which was generated at hitter-friendly Greensboro. Browns stuff was already good at Wayne, and it leveled up pretty quickly after he signed, but it was the strike throwing that took a step forward in 2022 and led to his September call-up. Merrills style of hitting generates a lot of liners and groundballs his swing only occasionally has homer-producing lift but he is striking the baseball with precision and authority in a way thats pretty amazing for a teenage shortstop, let alone one who dealt with a wrist fracture during the year.

Its possible the ceiling on Millers curveball is big. He plays with the high center of gravity more typical of an outfielder, and has a hard time flipping his hips to make fundamentally typical throws if hes had to range left to field a groundball. There is no 70 FV prospect in this years class and only two 65 FV prospects. 3Mississippi StateSEC3MS1581621 After a College Baseball Classic with glowing reviews, Taylor ended the week with a 1.401 OPS and nine hits.

By his senior year of high school, Holliday already had. The Phillies pushed him aggressively, going all the way to Double-A Reading late in 2022. 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.
