Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 25 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 181 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2012 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Medium frame; average build with above-average athleticism. Average strength in legs and upper body. Talented despite having a rather low baseball IQ. Physically maxed out.

Hit: Open stance; high hands; slightly crouched; wide base. Fringe-average bat speed; noticeable hand hitch; linear bat path. Aggressive approach; free swinger. Noisy swing; lots of unnecessary movement prior to load. Toe tap timing mechanism. Pitch recognition and discipline are major issues. He strikes out a ton and seems allergic to walks. Struggles with velocity up and in and can be exposed by average or better off-speed and breaking balls, especially on the outer third. Made some progress with these deficiencies in 2019, showing promise of a potential fringe-average bat. Realistically the bat probably plays below-average at the big league level. Grade: 40

Power: Solid average raw power in BP, plays significantly down in game due to approach and hit tool deficiencies. Aggressive line drive approach with fringe-average bat speed. Modest over-the-fence in-game pop, most power a result of his above-average speed. Grade: 30

Field: Plus defender. Solid reads off the bat. Route running occasionally becomes adventurous. Athleticism and above-average speed usually mitigates his mistakes. Covers plenty of ground - several highlight reel catches over the years. Great at tracking balls to both sides and coming in on the ball. Occasionally get tested on balls hit over his head. Willing to sacrifice his body for diving catches and impact with the outfield wall. Impact attribute of the profile. Grade: 60

Arm: Plus arm with impressive strength and optimal carry; profiles best in RF; can easily handle CF. Solid accuracy; errors more so an impact of poor judgment than offline or errant throws. Whips some impressive ropes back into the infield gunning down aggressive runners. Grade: 60

Run: Above-average speed down the line. Slow out of the box; quick second gear. Not much of a threat stealing bases; will go first-to-third when opportunity permits though. Aggressive and prone to youthful mistakes - runs into outs. Utilizes speed extremely well on defense. Grade: 55

Overall: You hang your hat on the plus defensive profile and above-average speed. Modest big league future ultimately hinges on the success of the bat. Just minimal gains in the hit tool and there's a solid glove-first bench or short side platoon player. More realistic future is a solid high minors depth piece, capable of occasionally filling in at the big league level.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 194 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2019 Round 11
RuleV: 2022

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; drop and drive delivery; fast arm with short claw arm action; over the top slot. Up-tempo delivery, moves fast on the mound, but often gets out of sync with timing due to how fast he moves. Somewhat stiff movement pattern.

Fastball: Shows the ability to ride and run his fastball, good shape, but lacks velocity sitting 89-92 mph. Best command is armside where he can steal strikes and get right handlers to expand. Lacks gloveside feel, best location is the higher armside quadrant. Poor command leads to somewhat scatter shot misses around the strike zone. Fringe average fastball, that could jump into average with a velocity increase. Grade: 45

Curveball: Slow loopy breaking ball sits 73-77 mph; 1-7 shape, more of a contact control pitch than a swing and miss breaking ball. Drives a heavy amount of groundballs. Dangerous when he can land it at the bottom of the zone. Primary secondary versus left hand hitters. Lacks consistent command of the pitch limiting its overall grade. Grade: 45

Changeup: High 70s to low 80s offering, late devastating armside run and tumble. Best swing and miss pitch, dominates versus right handed batters. Rarely used in same side matchups but should be used more frequently. Above average changeup. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Below average control, as Feole struggles to command his fastball and consistently hit his spots and subsequently throw strikes. His up tempo motion betrays him as he'll lose control of his arm and finds trouble landing his fastball to all zones. His feel is better for his secondaries, particularly his curveball which plays up due to his ability to hide it behind his fastball and tunnel to the top and bottom of the zone. Changeup feel is above average, lands it consistently to his armside, getting chases and bad swings. Below average across the board but heavily dragged down by a lack of command of his fastball. Control: 40 | Command: 30

Overall: Future relief arm with two fringe or better secondaries. Changeup does a good job of neutralizing right handlers and curveball limits hard contact in same side matchups. Needs to add velocity onto his fastball, as it has good shape and movement but a lack of velo and pinpoint command make it hittable. One or two inning stretches with ramped up velocity could transform Feole into a viable option in a big league pen. With some concerns that range from mechanical to velocity Feole best projects as bullpen depth.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Mike Kurland

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 181 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Stocky, ordinary build with minimal projection. Short stature with a high waist and long legs

Delivery & Mechanics: Windup; glove sits around chin level throughout motion. Knee comes up just above the waist; sits into glutes and remains low as he delivers. Creates decent hip/shoulder separation. Releases from a high 3/4 arm slot. Creates some deception in his delivery. Locks the plant leg as he follows through. Can change his tempo. Works at a medium speed often but will speed up his pace of work at times. Will slow down in the stretch. Easy to repeat mechanics.

Fastball: 88-90 mph; can get up to 92-94 mph. Some ride to it; can get flat. Able to attack the zone with it and helps him get back into counts. Able to hit his spots often. Plays well up in the zone and typically attacks players up. Does not give up a lot of hard contact. Can hit the black on both sides of the plate; does not attack low in the zone often with the fastball. Lacks desired velocity. Grade: 50

Curveball: 76 mph Slow, slurvy breaking ball. Appears to get similar arm action behind the curve as he does with the fastball. Throws it with confidence and able to both attack the zone and bury it while inducing swings. Willing to attack the zone and will induce weak contact and miss bats in and out of the zone with it. Can hang the occasional curve but is more likely to miss in the dirt. Complements the fastball well giving him two pitches he can lean on. Grade: 50

Changeup: 81-82 mph. Does not use it often but can throw it against right handers at times. Has some movement and fade to it. Does not have a lot of differential in velocity from the fastball. Would like to see that improve or the movement improve. Utilization is minimal as of now but if he can work on it, it would play well with the fastball and changeup. Grade: 40

Control and Command: More times than not, he keeps it in the zone. Can control and command the fastball and curveball well but will occasionally miss the spots. Able to attack the black of the plate as well. Control: 45 | Command: 40

Overall: Injuries caused Hernandez to be limited to two and three inning outings in 2019 and then the 2020 season ultimately has us having a lot of questions about him as we enter 2021. Often said to be a crafty lefty, he did show the ability to keep hitters off balance and induce weak contact a bit. However, the lack of velocity and third pitch leave a lot to be desired here. A lot will be determined if he can add an above average third pitch and velocity.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Danny Brackman

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 20
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Medium compact frame. Thick legs and strong upper body. Very good functional mobility and athleticism.

Delivery & Mechanics: Hybrid wind-up. Medium leg kick into a slight backward lean to keep the trunk stacked and engage the lower half. Sinks deep into hips and moves well downhill. Good power generated but with direction sometimes inconsistent, efficiency could still be improved. High effort delivery though good arm speed and a somewhat atypical 3/4 release point created by the backward lean creates some extra deceptiveness. Repeatability has improved but still needs work.

Fastball: Sits 93-95 and can touch 97 when reaching back in short stints. Typically shows some arm side run that helps generate weak contact. Still plays well up in the zone and is capable of generating some swing and miss. Tunnels well with secondary offerings, especially the change up. Has had troubles with consistency but reportedly has been better after moving to the pen full-time. Grade: 55

Slider: 82-84 with two-plane movement. Good arm speed and quick supination. Shape can flatten out and play like a cutter at times. Release makes spin difficult for hitters to pick up even when the movement is lacking. Does leave it up over the plate frequently looking to steal strikes or generate weak contact, so expanding to the glove side more should be emphasized. Grade: 45

Changeup: 83-85 with really good fade. Keeps good arm speed and shape tunnels with fastball very well. Has good feel for spotting to the arm side. Pitch can play against either RHH and LHH when looking for both weak contact and whiffs. Cleaning up his inconsistent release could result in even better results. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Has shown good pitchability despite slight mechanical inefficiencies. Shows confidence in all three offerings however feel for locating the SL is a bit behind the FB and CH. Stays around the zone but often leaves too many pitches in hittable areas. Allows a lot of contact though stuff does play up in shorter outings. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: Knehr has bounced between starting and the pen since going pro, but it appears he's finally settling in as a reliever. The switch is likely to help him conserve his stuff, as it appeared to dwindle late in the season in 2019. He performed well last fall at Instructs, so 2021 will be a critical development year to see how he handles the transition. If he can keep the current trend going, he could give an interesting look as a middle reliever.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Matt Thompson

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 5
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Well built, physical prospect. Well developed frame with strength throughout. Big broad shoulders, strong biceps and forearms. Good base, big thighs and rear end. Built like a corner outfielder.

Hit: Swing built off strength and leverage. Looks for his pitch, and made a large approach change as he entered 2019 and it paid off. He doubled his walk rate while also upping the power numbers and slightly chipping away at the strikeout numbers. He struggles making consistent contact, and doesn't have a two-strikes approach. Not saying he needs one, but it's very much a power over hit profile with zero fear of striking out. Works counts, extremely patient hitter with good strikezone judgement. Pitch recognition skills are sound, but just struggles making contact. Overall hit tool is poor, but can be fringe average if you factor in approach. Was hit by an astonishing 32 pitches in 2019, which explains the massive OBP jump. Grade: 30

Power: Sutton's new approach at the plate also led to a jump in balls hit to his pull-side, which is by design. Power is his strong suit in the box and he leaned into that in 2019. Large, uppercut swing allows him to hammer balls low in the zone but he will struggle against the stuff that's up. Plus raw power and is the highlight of batting practice, but plays nowhere close to that level in games because of his swing and miss tendencies. Grade: 45

Field: Sutton is a poor fielder. He's a plus runner which allows him to get to so many balls, but he takes poor angles and doesn't have soft hands in the outfield. He's a future corner outfielder, and I do think he will improve with more reps. Grade: 40

Arm: Above-average arm. Good enough to allow him to play any OF spot. Iron glove pushes him to left. Grade: 55

Run: Plus runner, will play down as he continues to bulk up. Will steal around 10-12 bases in the big leagues. Grade: 60

Overall: Sutton is a really good athlete, physical yet agile, but he will be held back by a subpar hit tool. He's a plus runner with the raw strength to clear any park, Williams-Sutton is a high risk prospect due to the swing and miss, and don't get suckered into the inflated OBP due to an insane 32 HBPs in 2019. He projects as a reserve outfielder, and not one that can play a competent centerfield which raises the offensive bar.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Joe Drake

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-7
Weight: 223 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Round 3
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Huge, 6'7" frame with a high waist and long limbs. Broad, squared shoulders. Lean and muscled, but borderline skinny. Decent amount of projection left as he adds to upper torso, glutes and thighs. Visibly frustrated when he can't find the release; lets emotions from poor at bat outcomes spill into the next, overthrowing when he's mad and compounding his frustration. TJS in 2015, shoulder inflammation 2017, biceps issues and line drive off leg in 2019.

Delivery & Mechanics: Full windup; big leg kick to the letters, fires from 3/4s arm slot. Works through windup at quick pace. Medium length arm stroke, doesn't quite drop it all the way down behind the body. Fast arm. Decent separation, arm on time and possibly early. Short and quick from the stretch, abbreviated leg kick, rocking back and firing.

Fastball: 94-96, T99; Good ride and run, but inconsistent and gets flat. Gets squared up when it's flat in the zone, hitters jump on it. Runs it by hitters consistently at the top of the zone and induces pop-ups frequently. Goes away from it sometimes like he lacks confidence. Command comes and goes. Grade: 50

Curveball: Big, sharp breaker. Tunnels well with the fastball and mirrors it well, too, hitters struggle to recognize it out of the hand when it's tight - not tight that often. Can drop it in for a strike armside; uses it armside or buries it for chases. Loses feel for it and gets loopy. Grade: 45

Slider: Similar shape as curveball, more depth than sweep. Not a ton of depth, rolls more often than it bites. Thrown mostly gloveside, gets more bad contact than whiffs. Occasionally resembles more of a cutter than slider. Flashes plus, nasty when it's on, just not always on. Grade: 45

Changeup: solid tumble and fade but not consistent. Good armspeed. 4th pitch in both usage and quality. Lacks confidence and feel. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Decent control, typically around the zone with few erratic pitches. Doesn't pound the zone though and falls behind somewhat frequently. Too many first pitch balls. Goes through bouts of living in the zone and living just outside the zone. Command worsens from the stretch. Hitters take a little more easily than you would guess for someone who sits mid to high 90s - he's either tipping pitches or hitters are seeing the ball early. Pitches backward often. Control: 30 | Command: 30

Overall: Big, fireballing righty whose good stuff gets hit harder than you'd expect due to inconsistency and poor command. Everything flashes plus at times, but is hit hard far too often or sails to a noncompetitive location. To add insult to injury, he appears to lose his composure when things go awry which adds to his issues. Reports are that he has scrapped the changeup and dazzled out of the pen during instructs after being added to the 40-man. His ceiling is sky high if he can find some semblance of consistency and command, but it's a big if. With so far to go, it's most likely that he's an up and down guy at this time.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Martin

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: 6-foot-3, 200-pound frame. Physical body with balance of present strength and athleticism. Noticeable fill out between 2018 and 2019. Probably still has some room for additional muscle.

Hit: Slightly open stance with base a wider than shoulder width. Hands start at shoulder height with the barrel tilting diagonally over head, not quite over shoulder. Knees have a lot of bend, weight stays in his toes. Slight leg lift while striding really far towards the pitcher. Bat path is mostly level with a little bit of upward loft. Above-average bat speed. Points his knee at the ball at contact point and continues to move down through contact which adds strength to swing. However, he leans over the plate and strides so far he has no room to move forward, barrel time in the zone is limited causing hard pull side and weak opposite field contact. Not a lot of contact up the middle. Occasional front leg lockout creates the loft in swing, less barrel time in the zone but sells out for additional power. Works the count pretty well, takes the ball well, legs move before hands. Adjusts well to all pitches, hits fastballs the best. What works is his approach at the plate. He could make more contact at the plate; his lean over the plate caused by weight in toes. He also strides extremely far, with no additional room to move forward. Both of these factors result in less barrel time in the zone. Staying more heel-side and keeping the upper body upright while maintaining a narrower base could lead to more contact. Grade: 40

Power: Present strength and physical frame help create a lot of power potential. Probably hits for a lot of power in batting practice, however, that has not translated to the game yet. He occasionally locks out his front leg creating an upward bat path but he does not do it all the time. Even if he did it all the time, his ability to make contact would be severely limited. Ball is hit harder to the pull side but he gets more loft to the opposite field. Current gap-to-gap or XBH power, could transform into a home run hitter with further development. Grade: 40

Field: Present athleticism helps with fielding ability. Average footwork, route taking and jumps. He does not profile to be a gold-glove award winner but he certainly will not be a detriment in the field as it currently stands. Should be an average corner outfielder. Grade: 50

Arm: Has some carry and accuracy with throws. Arm is similar to his fielding ability, does not have a cannon but it's playable in right field. Might profile more as a left fielder with fielding ability and arm, but is certainly passable in right field. Grade: 50

Run: Hustles around the bases. Above-average home to first times. Present athleticism assists in his agility and top speed. The only problem is Ornelas is 6-foot-3 and is only 20. Players like that usually age into more mass which reduces speed. Above-average speed right now but will probably regress once reaching the Major Leagues. Grade: 50

Overall: Ornelas is an extremely tough grade. The potential in the bat is certainly there. He is only 20 years old and possesses a physical frame. His other tools play in the Major Leagues as a corner outfielder if he can develop his hit and power tools. Apparently in 2019, he overhauled his swing to try to hit for more power. It did not translate into any sort of statistical success. It's a tough call on what to do with him developmentally. He had better statistical success in 2017 and 2018, while employing more of a contact approach. But there is so much power potential that he was not developing during those seasons. His plate discipline and approach raise his floor but his future development with the bat is a huge risk. His OFP and role could definitely increase based on his development.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Trevor Hooth

Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Round 3
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: High waisted. Long limbs all around. He's at physical maturity with his frame.

Delivery & Mechanics: Mechanics are very low effort. High 3/4 delivery. Windup starts with Nix facing third base, hands belt high. Hands raise up to chest in sync with his leg as he reaches the balance point. Back leg has a slight bend as he extends out, shoulders off kilter with the glove shoulder higher than the throwing shoulder during this process. Stays tall through delivery and follow through.

Fastball: 91-93. T95. Slight armside run. Pitch creates plenty of grounders no matter where it is in the zone. Can have trouble spotting it down, though it plays well enough up in the zone where that doesn't hurt him. If it missed more bats, it could jump as high as a full grade, but as is it is a fringe average offering. Grade: 45

Curveball: 76-77. Tight 12-6 break. The break looked much tighter than what he showed during his MLB debut in 2018. It became an offering he felt comfortable going to in two strike situations. It still doesn't create many whiffs because he likes to work up with all his pitches. However, low in the zone it's a weapon. Grade: 45

Slider: 82-83. When thrown well there's more gyro than sweep. Either way, it's not a pitch that gets used often. More of a change of pace offering. It's not an offering that fools many hitters, but he also struggles to throw it for a strike. Grade: 40

Changeup: 80-81. Lots of armside fade. This was his out pitch in the majors for a good reason. Between the movement and this deception, this has been the best weapon Nix has. He locates this the best of his pitches, but even misses can generate whiffs or weak ground ball contact. Grade: 50

Control and Command: Nix doesn't walk many batters and all four of his pitches are generally around the zone. His control is above average. While the walk numbers are low, the command is not as you'd expect. He has trouble getting his pitches to the lower half of the zone. Because of that his arsenal can miss right over the middle more often than he'd like and he becomes hittable. Even though he works up, which itself is not a bad thing, he still is able to create plenty of groundballs. Control: 55 | Command: 45

Overall: Nix has seen the majors, but has also seen his share of injury concerns. Since being drafted in 2015 he's only eclipsed the 100 inning mark once, when he threw 105 innings in 2016. He controls his 4-pitch arsenal well, and has seen improvements to it since his time in the majors in 2018. He works up in the zone with all of his pitches, and it works for him to create a lot of grounders. He does have a tendency to miss in locations that can hurt him. He's got the repertoire and build to be in the rotation, but a stacked Padres rotation and farm means he might need to move to the bullpen.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 21 yr
Height: 5-10
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Short and big-bodied frame on the mound. Large upper and lower half with room for physical development. Arms and shoulders lack standout features. Comes equipped with power stuff.

Delivery & Mechanics: Shortened three-quarter slot delivery from the right side. Good extension and follow through. Signs of moderate effort. Has a good rhythm and motion in arm action and delivery. Comfortable release point that is repeated fairly decently.

Fastball: Power mid-90s offering with more velocity than movement. Fastball sits 93-94 and touches 97. Commands it well low in the zone with good velocity. Lacks consistent spin and late movement. Potential plus-pitch with added movement Grade: 55

Curveball: Mid-70s breaking ball with great 12-6 movement and depth. Forces whiffs consistently with late break. Rarely left hanging in the zone, tight and compact rotation throughout. Buries it low and inside against lefties. Manipulates it well off his fastball. Grade: 60

Changeup: Low-80s changeup that is behind in development as a consistent third pitch. Sits 81-82 with good drop off in velocity. Lacks fade and tumble without much swing-and-miss. Needs more refinement and consistency. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Shows continued growth in strike-throwing ability each season. Pounds the zone with his fastball. Spots his curveball low and away against lefties and righties. Gets out of jams with solid pitch placement to force soft contact. Has swing-and-miss caliber stuff, improved command would take his arsenal to the next level Control: 45 | Command: 40

Overall: Contreras has shown tremendous strides in this stage of his career. His fastball and curveball are an effective 1-2 punch along with a developing changeup. His command continues to improve by each season, and he's a name to keep an eye on within the Padres' system.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Kerns

Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 182 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2012 IFA (NYY)
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Average height and build. Thick, strong lower half; noticeably filled out over the last few seasons. Athletic player who plays with obvious love for the game and aggressiveness. Fun to watch.

Hit: Stands open and crouched with his hands high and back. Minimal pre-pitch movement with the bat. Slight repositioning of his left foot for timing purposes that sometimes manifests as a small leg kick. Upward swing that gets the ball in the air and generates a lot of line-drive contact to the medium parts of the outfield. Repeatable swing that he's opened up slightly since moving on from the Yankees; at its best it is short and gets through the zone quickly. Above-average bat speed that produced an average EV of 93.5 and max EV of 108.8 in limited plate appearances during the 2020 season. Shows a fringe-average eye, but he has an aggressive, free-swinging approach and will struggle with strikeouts at the MLB level. Displays a lot of pull-side contact, but has started shooting balls to centerfield more frequently. He's a below-average contact hitter, largely due to his free-swinging nature, but the tool plays up due to his 80-grade speed. Added patience and pitch recognition would go a long way to improving the tool, but he's 25 and yet to make those adjustments. Grade: 40

Power: Above-average raw power, primarily to the pull side, that began showing up more regularly during games in 2019. Swings on an upward plane and his approach is designed to put balls in the air; he's consistently recorded more fly outs than ground outs since entering pro ball and had an average launch angle of 28.5 degrees in limited at-bats in 2020. His EV would be in the upper quartile if he had enough at-bats to qualify. His aggressive approach hinders his power output, and most of his batted balls are still to the shallow and medium parts of the grass, but his speed will allow him to be a high doubles and triples hitter with regular at-bats. He could hit a dozen or more HR. Grade: 45

Field: Fluid athlete in the field that has familiarity with 2B, SS, and OF. Best asset is his speed, which allows him to cover a lot of ground; has plus range in both the infield and outfield. In the infield, he moves well laterally and looks comfortable at both 2B and SS. Plays with bounce and shows a willingness to charge the ball and lay out in either direction. He's still green in the outfield, and needs to work specifically on his routes and reads; both are currently below to fringe-average. As with every other facet of his game, he's aggressive and can make some difficult plays. He's probably an average fielder wherever he ends up, but has some additional upside due to his footspeed and overall athleticism. Grade: 50

Arm: Above-average arm strength; strong enough to make jump throws from deep in the hole, but they were on a bounce - albeit on target - in looks. He routinely hit his cutoff in limited looks in the outfield. Arm may fit best at 2B and LF. Grade: 55

Run: Timed 3.98 down the line from the right side, which is off the charts. Consistently between 4.01 and 4.05. Legitimate stolen base threat with a track record to prove it. Sprint speed measured at 29.0 ft/s, which placed him in the 95th percentile among MLB players in 2020. Shows strong jumps on the basepaths, but can be overly-aggressive and gets caught too often for someone with his speed. Grade: 80

Overall: Mateo has seemingly been around forever and finally cracked the big leagues in 2020. He offers some of the best speed in the game, which will be enough to keep him around for a long time, but the rest of the profile lags behind. He's a free-swinger who will struggle to consistently make contact, and his power also comes at the expense of his hit tool. He figures to offer some utility/defensive replacement value given his familiarity with multiple positions, but the majority of his value lies with his legs, where he can be an asset as a pinch runner. He was once a prized prospect, and he'll always offer those glimpses of something more.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 24 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2014 IFA (WAS)
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Short, stout build, below average conditioning. Bad body, but not out of the ordinary for a reliever. Suffered an elbow injury in August if 2019, underwent Tommy John Surgery in Fall 2019.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; long arm action; high 3/4 slot; below average arm speed; high leg lift; average leg block will leak over front side. Repeats fairly well, moderate effort.

Fastball: 92-95 MPH, throws two variations, sinker and four-seam. Four-seam is a bad-flat fastball lacking life or much ride. Throws the four-seam mostly to right handers mixing in the two seam to lefties. The four-seam is hittable and his control over command profile leads to lots of missed spots that catch too much of the plate. Lacks the ride to play the X or the run to play the Y game. Fringe average fastball despite above average starter velocity. Grade: 45

Curveball: Average slow bender used early in the counts and as an offspeed pitch from his fastball-slider to left handed batters. Site 72-74 mph with late vertical drop that keeps hitters off balance. The pitch plays up due to his ability to sequence. Grade: 50

Slider: Above average slider that tunnels well off his fastball, with tight gyro spin. Little to no horizontal movement, mostly tight spin at 83-85 mph with late drop. Shows the ability to land the pitch anywhere in the zone. Generates a high amount of swings and misses and is his lead pitch. Will occasionally spike it for more devastating late life. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Average control with fringe average command. Executes a game plan in terms of his slider and curveball location mixing in his fastball. He throws consistent strikes with all three pitches and tends to stay around the zone with little trouble. Lacks command of his fastball and it lags behind the feel for his two breaking balls subsequently. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: After suffering an elbow injury not long after his major league debut, Avila has been on the shelf for over a year and a half and is around 18 months removed from Tommy John Surgery. He was a non roster invitee to spring training this year with an opportunity to see some time as a spot starter. Ultimately this is where his ultimate role lies. A spot starter/long relief type that can change eye levels with his slider and tunnel it off his fastball. There's a finesse element to Avila's plan of attack despite above average velocity. Classic swingman type.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Danny Brackman

Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 221 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 8
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Medium athletic build. Strong lower half and core. Broad shoulders with upper body filled out well.

Delivery & Mechanics: Stretch only. Comes set with his back leg slightly pre-set. High and tight leg-kick sinks him deep into his hips and heel connection/ankle mobility allows him to ride down the mound to create separation. Strong frame and an efficient high effort delivery generate good power. Quick over the top arm action, low release height, and big extension helps stuff play. Looks a bit clunky at times though mechanical sequencing is typically clean.

Fastball: Sits 91-94 and tops 97. Looked like he was closer to the top of that range this past winter for Escogido. Plus raw spin. Delivery and release helps lower VAA (vertical approach angle), making it play very well at the top of the zone. Generates lots of whiffs, though it will cut at times and get hit hard when it's down over the plate, especially when the velo is in the 91-92 range. Advanced metrics and results alike suggest it's an above average offering with a little room for improvement by minimizing cut/sustaining velo. Grade: 55

Slider: High spin offering at 81-83. Very good depth with a bit of glove-side movement. Works nicely at the bottom of the zone tunneling off the high fastball. Does leave it up in hittable areas but spin and movement have helped limit damage and generate weak contact so far. Another above average offering potentially capable of more with better command. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Average control but command is often a full grade lower. Could be due to the cut on the fastball and high spin on the slider. Likes to work over the plate and let his stuff go but could benefit from expanding up/down more. Will use either offering in any situation. Control: 50 | Command: 40

Overall: Wilson looked really good in the DR over the winter, taking over the closer role and shining with his fastball/slider combo. He was able to maintain his whiff rates while keeping free passes to a minimum, expanding on his solid 2019 campaign where he reached Triple-A. With plus spin and movement on both offerings, as well as improving feel, Wilson looks like he could be a serviceable option for the Padres' pen in the very near future.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Justin Lada

Age: 26 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 219 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Round 5
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Average pitchers build. Stockier, solid, fully filled out frame. Physically mature. Strong, thicker lower half. Sturdy enough to handle ML starters innings. Builds reminiscent of Bryan Shaw. College punter before focusing on baseball his senior year. Solid athlete.

Delivery & Mechanics: Tilted start from near middle side of rubber. MIdsection high leg kick into his motion. Stays well balanced and stacked over the middle. Gets into lower half well to create good hip hinge. Internal rotation and good lead leg block. Long arm swing rotates up and around. Generally solid hip/shoulder separation. Appears somewhat stiff in overall actions in his gather and lower half, and not flexible or loose. 3/4 arm slot. Loses release point at time and will occasionally fall off to first base side.

Fastball: 89-94 with late arm-side run and rise. More effective used up in the zone. Better at locating it north/south than east/west. Fringe-average command. Hittable when left in the zone. Grade: 40

Curveball: 79-83 with downward spike movement. Flashes average; tends to favor slider but has discernable shape from it. Grade: 45

Slider: 82-87 with inconsistent shape at times. Has late, two-plane break at times and will look appear like a cutter at times with less vertical break. Potential to be an above average offering with good spin and more consistency. Grade: 50

Changeup: 81-85 with good, vertical fade. Flashes average, occasionally with some arm side run and others more fade. Puts it together occasionally and can miss bats and keep left handers honest. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Has a loose arm, but long arm swing and some stiffness in delivery creates issues repeating it. Inconsistent control and command. Control is good for a pitcher with his level of inexperience to baseball and pitching-only but relief command so far. Control: 45 | Command: 40

Overall: For how new Bachar still is to pitching, he shows good secondaries that can get hitters out. He lacks some flexibility in his delivery and repeating which looks like it hinders his command. He shows a good, live and loose arm. He has the body type to hold up to starters inning and flashes all average to above average secondaries that could be part of a backend starters arsenal, but he could get a tick up on his fastball and slider in a bullpen role where his command would be less of an issue and his fastball could see a jump into average to above average velocity.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Kerns

Age: 21 yr
Height: 5-9
Weight: 150 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Average height. Lean frame. Quick-twitch athlete. Fun to watch in the field and in the box.

Hit: Debuted a new swing during 2019 and carried it into 2020 Spring Training. Stands upright, legs shoulder-width apart. Bat stays vertical, hands at his chest prior to loading. Big leg kick as he steps into the pitch. Looks more comfortable and stance allows him to get to the ball quicker at its best. He can be out of sync at times. He has above-average bat speed and an upward bat path that produces fly balls to the grass. Aggressive at the plate; free swinger that strikes out far too often. Has stuck out over 30% across three minor league seasons. Pitch recognition remains a weakness but he can crush mistakes. Gets the ball in the air with regularity when he connects and has so far produced more flyouts than groundouts. Has the speed to beat out grounders to the left side. Grade: 40

Power: Average or better raw power, primarily to the pull side. Gets the ball in the air during games because of the bat path and started turning doubles into HR during the 2019 season. Still mostly a gap hitter, but offers additional projection as he continues to add strength and bulk. Has a quick bat and already creates a good amount of leverage. Grade: 45

Field: Has experience with both SS and 2B. Has good footwork and moves well laterally. Twitchy in the field and can get to a lot of balls. Has above-average or better range. Does a good job covering the bag while playing 2B and can turn the double play. Tracks fly balls well and could potentially play in the OF. Could be a plus defender at the keystone. Grade: 55

Arm: Above-average arm strength, but it plays up because of his quick and fluid transfers. Enough arm strength to get the ball across the diamond, but it might fit best at 2B, where he's starting to look like a natural. Throws from a sidearm slot when making the routine throw, but can reach back for more. Grade: 55

Run: Timed between 4.08 and 4.13 down the line from the right side. Legitimate base stealing threat, but can be overly aggressive on the basepaths. Can turn a double into a triple. Grade: 70

Overall: Barley went undrafted in the most recent Rule V draft, but he has the underlying tools and athleticism to be a future big leaguer. He's notably raw at the plate, and will be a slow burn as a prospect, but he has the look of a utility-type and enough tools to always suggest he could be something more. Even as a utility-type, it's a high-risk profile, primarily because time and the organization's depth are working against him.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Rhys White

Age: 21 yr
Height: 5-9
Weight: 150 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Short and stocky with a thick lower half, built like a running back.

Hit: Crouched stance where the bat starts behind the head. He is short and quick to the ball with a linear bat-path, and is looking to put the ball in play and wear out the gaps. He has an average understanding of the strike-zone, is average at recognizing pitches out of the hand, and he doesn't swing out of the zone very often. Because of his linear bat-path most of his hits are results of line-drives that he hit in either the left-field or right-field gaps. Grade: 50

Power: When you factor in his bat path and his lack of upper body strength you realize that he doesn't hit the ball overwhelmingly hard. He doesn't lift the ball very often either so that limits the home run potential as he currently plays. Grade: 40

Field: Rosario has played a few different positions, mostly fluctuating between second and third. He has the range to play third occasionally but the arm is slightly lacking, but he could play third occasionally. As a second-baseman he has more than enough range, is average around the bag, and can be moved around and make the requisite plays. Grade: 45

Arm: Average arm, he makes all the throws you would want from a second-base/occasional third-baseman. It is an accurate arm with average carry. Grade: 50

Run: Rosario underway is an average runner, he has a good jump as a base stealer but his foot-speed is just average. He has a short and choppy stride. He is a smart base runner who will go and take the extra base when given the opportunity. I do think as he adds more muscle to his frame he will slow down as a runner. Grade: 50

Overall: Rosario can play a few different spots, I think he could handle a corner outfield spot in a pinch, who projects out as an average hitter with average speed. He has no true standout tool, but a bunch of 50's should give him a possible bench player role, albeit a low-end one. If he ever taps into more power, he becomes a more interesting player.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 23 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 4
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Heavy set, boxy reliever body, barrel chested, will need a fair amount of conditioning to maintain average fitness level.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; drop and drive; long arm action; over the top arm slot; average arm speed; high leg lift; good extension; gets downhill quick.

Fastball: Sits 90-93 mph, touching 94 mph at peak. Lives in the upper quadrants and it's good shape and ride allow him to miss bats with consistency despite below average velocity. Uses his fastball nearly 70% of the time and still manages to miss ungodly numbers with that pitch in particular. Lives around the zone and shows the ability to land it both arm and gloveside. Rarely works in the lower quadrants. Often his fastball and not his hammer curve is used as his out pitch. It's an above average fastball that could really play with a few added ticks in a pen role. Grade: 55

Curveball: Average curveball with big 12-6 downer drop. Sits 77-81 mph with late steep movement that generates lots of swings low. Tunnels well off of fastball and helps to change eye levels on hitters. Grade: 50

Changeup: Below average pitch with flashes of average but it's rarely used and he lacks feel for pronating with consistency. Sits 80-83 mph, and will show tumble and fade when he's able to turn it over. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Average strike thrower that does a good job of getting all of his pitches particularly his fastball over the plate. He will struggle to land his changeup, and his curveball's dynamic drop will lead to takes against more passive batters. Overall he sequences well with his fastball and curveball, and executes in the intended zones. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: A three year starter at Troy he dominated during the shortened 2020 season, taking on teams like Florida, Louisiana, and Michigan State and looking every bit an SEC ace. It's a reliever profile suited for three to five outs with a fastball heavy one-two combo with his curveball. He could throw his curveball more if desired as it has excellent shape and he commands it well to the bottom or just below the zone. Lacks the physicality or pitch mix of a starter, but will need to add a few ticks to vaunt himself into a high leverage role.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Rhys White

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 235 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 IFA
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Ona is on the stockier side at 6-0 235 pounds. Well filled out lower half with thick arms. Very stocky, built like a fire hydrant.

Hit: Ona comes up to the plate with one thing on his mind and that's to take aggressive hacks early and often. He has a simple pre-pitch setup where he has a slight bend at the knee and starts with his bat perpendicular to the ground. He has a very pull-heavy approach and he pairs that with an uppercut bat-path. He is rather aggressive and that leads to swing and misses on pitches in the zone, and another concerning aspect of his game is he also expands the zone especially on breaking pitches spotted low and away. He has shown an ability to draw a walk because he has an average understanding of the strike-zone but he does struggle to recognize spin out of the pitcher's hand and in his short big league stint pitchers were able to exploit this with good breaking balls that start low in the zone and break out of the zone. Grade: 40

Power: Ona has plus raw power thanks to his combination of bat-speed, plus raw strength, and his uppercut swing path, and from time to time he translates that raw power into games. He easily accesses that power to his pull-side. His lack of consistent contact will hamper how much power he plays with in games. Grade: 55

Field: Ona is rather limited defensively and that hurts the overall profile. He isn't the most athletic nor does he have exceptional range. He doesn't make the greatest reads off the bat either, he is limited to a corner outfield spot and even then it's more than likely he is best used as a left-fielder. The arm is going to help him provide some value on the defensive end. Grade: 45

Arm: The Padre's farmhand has an above arm and for the most part makes accurate throws. He has more than enough carry and velocity on his throws to play a corner outfield spot. Grade: 55

Run: Jorge Ona is a lumbering runner with a short and choppy stride. He isn't a great athlete either so he's not very explosive either out of the box or on the basepaths. He won't be much of a stolen base threat. Grade: 40

Overall: orge Ona has already made the big leagues and to continue to stay as a major leaguer I believe he will have to consistently tap into his power. He is limited defensively, and isn't a great athlete so that hurts the way in which he can impact a roster. He profiles best as a pinch-hitter that occasionally gets a shot to play left-field to give the starters a rest.

Mar 2021 Report

Evaluator: Tyler Jennings

Age: 18 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 170 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2020 Round 5
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Tall, very projectable frame to Haynes' body. Broad shoulders, long limbs, high waisted. Athletic body. Fairly unknown and under the radar selection by the Padres in the 2020 draft. Plenty of muscle to add to frame, has worked out with fellow Padres farmhand Seth Frankoff.

Delivery & Mechanics: Athletic delivery triggered by a high leg kick. Pitches from third base side of the rubber and throws from a high three-quarters arm slot. Relatively clean delivery with a longer arm action. Has good scap retraction, likely to add plenty of velocity in the future. Release height can get inconsistent at times, though hovers under 6 feet.

Fastball: Haynes was never a hard thrower in high school, usually sitting in the high-80's with the occasional low-90's trickling in starts at times. However, he's shown improved velocity in 2020, reaching up to 93 and 94 MPH respectively. The velocity band still is gaudy, though he's been more in the low-90's in bullpen sessions. It's a low-spin offering around 2,100 RPM's with good run on the fastball and good spin efficiency. Definitely has plenty of room to add velocity as he adds muscle to his frame. Expect an upgrade to AA or even plus with more velocity, but for right now, it's average. Grade: 50

Changeup: Haynes' change-up has good separation from the fastball and he's able to maintain a good arm speed to sell the pitch with some good fade. It's a high-70's offering and has gotten into the low-80's at times. Certainly has some promise to it, though it's a fringe-average offering at the moment. Grade: 45

Slurve: As of now, Haynes has more of a slurvy breaking ball that sits in the high-70's with sweep. A pitch that will certainly need to be tightened up, it has shown more of a slider shape to it in recent months and will likely become more of one as he progresses through the minors. Likely to be an average offering at the present projection, could become better. Grade: 50

Control and Command: Haynes will certainly have enough time to get better control/command, potentially growing into potentially average or better once all is said and done. As of now, it's more fringy, if anything. Control: 45 | Command: 40

Overall: Haynes is still a long way from the majors, being the youngest arm taken in this year's class. The Padres think he's a steal, in which time will tell on that front. He certainly has the frame to add plenty of muscle and velocity, with control and command to follow. He could become a backend starter, though right now, he's likely to be more of a spot starter and a long reliever.
