Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Short, big-bodied frame. Room for muscle. Loose arm and long legs with a large upper body. Upper half more developed than lower half. Physical maturity remains, continued room for development at his age.

Delivery & Mechanics: Quick and fluid arm action. Has good extension and follow through on each pitch. Ball comes out of his hand in one smooth motion. No stress points on arm/elbow/shoulder. Shortened three-quarter slot delivery that repeats well. Consistent and effective, throws strikes. Makes the most of his arsenal with clean delivery and mechanics. Looks comfortable from the windup and stretch, delivery is consistent.

Fastball: Low-90s offering with good ride and life. Attacks batters inside with its cutter-esque movement. Velocity has dipped to the high-80s in appearances, but reaches 90-91 in shorter stints. Added velocity and movement can make it more effective. Grade: 45

Curveball: Low-to-mid-70s pitch with good depth. Good spin rate with a late bite. Throws it with confidence against lefties/righties. More effective against lefties, breaks outside. Plus offering, looks to be his reliable off-speed pitch. Needs more velo at next level. Grade: 55

Slider: Low-80s offering with good horizontal break. Development still behind his curveball, but throws it with confidence. Good dive at the end to force swings and misses. Thrown flat at times, left hanging at the letters for batters to barrel. Needs more refinement. Grade: 50

Changeup: Still working on using changeup as fourth pitch. Rarely thrown, but has some separation. Needs more reps and improvement to be a consistent pitch in his arsenal. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Above-average command and control for his age. Hits the outside corner with the fastball, sets up off-speed for strikeouts. Throws with confidence, repeatable mechanics help him attack the zone. Good feel for his fastball, curveball and slider. Does a good job of placing inside on righties for called strikes. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: Signing with the Mariners as an international free agent in 2017-18, lefty Brayan Perez has made subtle improvements for his age. He showed signs of growth in his first season of pro ball last year, and his stuff continues to improve. His fastball has late life coupled with his plus curveball with good depth and break. What Perez lacks for in velocity, he makes up for with command and solid mechanics. As he continues to grow into his body, Perez's stuff can increase in velocity to make him more effective in longer stints.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 5
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Shorter, stout stature. Large upper body with big arms, wide shoulders and wide hips. Sturdy build with good strength throughout his body. More muscle can be added to his lower half. Open and fluid left-handed stance. Hands stay connected through the ball. Lower half is present within his swing, good leg kick and well balanced approach. Body stays in control throughout each pitch. Consistent open stance that plays well to his ability.

Hit: Above-average hit tool with solid contact to all fields. Has a good knack for the zone, takes off-speed pitches back up the middle. Hanging fastballs lined the other way for base hits. Good approach and patience at the plate. Hands and lower half stay connected to get a good piece of the ball. Grade: 50

Power: Very little power present to clear fences, more gap-to-gap and contact-oriented hitter. Fails to get the ball up in the air consistently. Good contact, but power hasn't translated thus far. When he does tap into power, tends to go more pull-side. Grade: 45

Field: Lack of athleticism makes him an inconsistent defender at third base. Doesn't have much range or beat to the ball. Hard-hit grounders get past him. May not stick at third base long term, could experiment with left field due to his defensive struggles. Iffy defensive fit, but could progress with more practice and development. Grade: 45

Arm: Average arm strength from third to first base. Solid accuracy to nab baserunners. Good timing on throws, takes the time when necessary to make the right play. Ball lacks the zip in tough situations. Arm strength has improved, shown more confidence and growth last season. Grade: 50

Run: Below-average speed and athleticism on the basepaths. Not a base stealing threat, doesn't get a good jump on the ball. Bulky physical frame limits his top-end speed. Shows flashes of quick strides and bursts to reach base, but lacks speed to stretch for extras Grade: 40

Overall: Selected in the fifth round by the Mariners in 2019, Austin Shenton's smooth left-handed stroke continues to improve in the minors. He makes solid contact to all fields and has a sound approach at the plate, though little power will translate to the next level. His lack of speed and athleticism limits his defensive capabilities and his aggressiveness on the basepaths. With more work defensively, Shenton's offensive profile can potentially help him reach the big leagues. Shown the work ethic to improve defensively. Well-liked person in every corner.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Tall and lanky right-hander with long, loose arms and legs. More room for added growth and muscle to his frame. Broad shoulders, wide hips and big feet. Room to fill out as he gets stronger. Frame has length with room for continued development. Raw physical profile, has intriguing tools that could be built upon.

Delivery & Mechanics: Short and quick arm action, a bit twitchy at times. Right elbow sticks out a bit midway through each pitch. Arm action gets even quicker from the stretch. Creates some zip, good torque and engagement throughout his core to generate velocity. Shortened three-quarter slot. Repeated and consistent, over-the-top to get some downward plane. Has the look of a high-effort delivery at times. Very little use of his lower half, all upper-body strength and core at the moment. Legs seem stiff in his windup, virtually non-existent in the stretch. Utilizing more of his lower half is something to keep an eye on.

Fastball: Low-to-mid-90s offering that has touched 98 mph on occasion. Typically sits between 92-94 mph. Throws it above the zone to force whiffs. Good late life that attacks the hands of righties. Velocity stays consistent with potential to reach triple digits. Shortened, over-the-top delivery makes it explode to the plate. Solid, plus-pitch with more room to grow. Grade: 60

Curveball: High-70s power breaking ball with good spin and downward break. Sharp break, power curve that drops out of the zone when at its best. Has a tendency to leave his curve over the plate, opposing batters barrel it. Good depth to the pitch as a whole, nice secondary offering to his velocity-packed fastball. Grade: 55

Changeup: Low-80s offering to decipher his fastball. Good arm speed, but changeup lacks much deception and fade for swings and misses. A bit flat at times, has a tendency to leave it high up in the zone. Needs more development, but shows flashes of a solid third pitch. Grade: 45

Control and Command: All stuff at the moment, not much command or control. A bit wild in the stretch, fastballs sail upwards and curveball bounces in the dirt on occasion. Twitchy delivery makes his upper-body do all the work, and he needs to incorporate his lower half to improve command. Dots his fastball on the corners, but remains inconsistent. Must improve on the quality of his strikes, many pitches soak up too much of the plate. Control and command can improve once his mechanics straighten out. Control: 40 | Command: 40

Overall: Connor Phillips has the raw, tantalizing stuff in his repertoire to make him the 64th overall pick by Seattle in 2020. He has a good profile to add more size to his frame. His fastball and curveball are plus offerings that attack batters, but his shortened delivery raises concerns about his control and command. If he incorporates his lower half more into his throwing motion, Phillips has the raw ability to make the most of his velocity-packed arsenal.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Joe Doyle

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 8
RuleV: On 40-man

Physical Description: Strong, sturdy pitcher with most of his strength/mass coming from his lower half. Sloping shoulders with strength in upper body though lacking definition.

Delivery & Mechanics: Unorthodox, short-arm action that includes a ton of deception. Very herky jerky. Tempo will be very important keeping his lower half and shoulder in in tandem. Potential for extra perceived velocity thanks to release slot and mechanics.

Fastball: 93-96/t98 with signs of armside run and sink. Too often the fastball is too straight and hittable. Needs to focus on arm-side run in delivery. Fastball is straight and finds a barrels at 93-94. At it's best the fastball is 95-96/98 with late movement and deception. Grade: 55

Slider: 83-86 with late, tight break. Can sometimes meld into a cutter with some vertical break. Young pitcher who's still finding feels for optimized breaking ball. At it's best, slider has aggressive horizontal approach angle with late sweep and depth. Can get straight and broadcast at times. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Tempo is the biggest thing in his delivery. When he's right, the stuff is overpowering and has shown late-inning, high leverage ability. At worst, the control fades and walks and barrels become an issue. Fastball has shown better control than breaking stuff. Control: 50 | Command: 50

Overall: At his best, Gerber has shown the ability to work in a fringe-high leverage role with dynamic velocity and break on his slider. The deception is a nice luxury in keeping hitters off-balance and late, but he'll need to focus on creating life on the fastball and consistency in the slider.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Joe Doyle

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R-R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Sturdy, strong with well-proportioned whippy arms. Wide shoulder frame with more room to grow in his core. Lower body strength present with plenty of upper body strength in the shoulders.

Delivery & Mechanics: Conventional over-the-top delivery with good extension in drop and drive operation. Really gets down hill. Super easy, free delivery with quick arm. Good lead leg block. Fastball has really taken a big step forward in last year. Now 93-96/97 with plenty of ride up in the zone. Not a lot of run or cut. Spots the fastball with consistency in short appearances.

Fastball: Fastball has really taken a big step forward in last year. Now 93-96/97 with plenty of ride up in the zone. Not a lot of run or cut. Spots the fastball with consistency in short appearances. Grade: 55

Curveball: True power curveball with immense depth and late bite. 12-6 shape with tunnel characteristics off the fastball. High spin offering should continue to improve, especially as velo gains continue. Currently 81-83. Grade: 55

Slider: Shows depth and horizontal tilt. Good command. Can get stiff when thrown too firm. 85-88. Average offering. Grade: 50

Changeup: Big armspeed and tumble present. Big separation off the fastball. Shows a ton of depth and some fade. Thrown with total conviction and a ton of strikes. Easy plus, maybe more. Grade: 60

Control and Command: Solid control and command for a prep arm. Typically locates his curveball better than his fastball. Curveball breaks well out of the zone. Fastball command will be critical in future role. Control: 45 | Command: 45

Overall: Stoudt figures to be a late inning reliever with the full assortment of pitches, including an overpowering fastball that's really growing. Curveball is best secondary and could get to plus with a little more added velo. Probably not a closer, but not a low leverage arm either.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 230 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Tall and solid build. Intimidating presence on the mound with rounded shoulders and sturdy lower half. Long wingspan, uses his strong frame to generate velocity. Sturdy upper and lower half, which stands out due to his size. Competitive and driven, shows some body language when getting out of a jam. Has good poise and shows it after two-out strikeouts, may skip off the mound and head towards the dugout with authority.

Delivery & Mechanics: Long and loose arm action that plays within his arsenal. Good extension on pitches with solid follow through. No stress points on elbow/shoulder/arm within release. May rush throws/off line from the stretch as his release gets quicker. Three-quarter arm slot delivery that he repeats well, several well-thrown strikes. Little effort in his release and has a clean delivery. Quicker delivery from the stretch. Simple and effective. Looks more comfortable from the windup, delivery chokes up in the stretch at times.

Fastball: Typically sits in the low-90s with a solid downhill plane to force whiffs. Has confidence with it in any count, but mixes it well. Commands the fastball well, hits his spot consistently. Long arm action helps create more "zip" and it can catch the outside corner for called strikes. Also rises up in the zone to force a swing-and-miss. Solid plus-pitch with a good downhill plane. Grade: 55

Curveball: Mid-70s offering that isn't thrown much. Lacks break and depth to the pitch, needs some fine tuning and improvement. Hangs in the zone for much too long at times. Shows quality velocity, but lacks snap and zip to make it a solid third offering at times. Has shown flashes of being a plus pitch, but not much consistency thus far. Grade: 40

Slider: Low-80s offering with solid break and spin, almost disguised as a cutter. Hard to distinguish the pitch at times due to its late life. Effective strikeout pitch in two-strike counts. Has the confidence to throw it with runners on. Good movement and depth, which plays well as his primary off-speed pitch. Catches too much of the plate at times, left it "hanging" in the zone at Arkansas. Overall, good secondary offering with good break and movement. Grade: 55

Splitter: Mid-to-high 80s offering that plays well with his fastball. Limited use and still new. Hasn't thrown it much in any count, but shows late drop in the zone for whiffs. Has a bit of late life to keep batters off guard with the fastball. Splitter offers a distinct change to his off-speed pitches. More improvement and confidence can make it a solid third pitch. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Excellent control and command with several quality strikes. Commands fastball well on both sides of the plate. Slider plays well against righties. Repeats his delivery well and picks his spots from the windup and the stretch. Advanced K/BB ratio in college could translate to pros. Not eye-popping stuff for velocity, but command and control play well to his advantage. Great strike thrower. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: Solid build with an ability to attack the strike zone. His stuff lacks velocity, but his command and control gives him a reliable floor. He has a competitive edge,, and he can be a backend big league starter if his off-speed pitches continue to improve.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Solidly built 6'1 210 frame that consists of solely good weight. Strong lower half. Deloach moves well when he gets underway but can struggle with his first step. Fairly mature body that will likely require a sacrifice of speed to add strength.

Hit: Switched from a high leg kick to a toe-tap approach in summer of 2019 with great success. Deloach rocks back a simple toe-tap before sliding his momentum forward. Incredibly quiet hands/wrists until he unleashes his swing. Hips stand out. Syncs his movements well and can really explode when he commits. Simple, fairly compact swing that has added some natural loft over the last year and should lead to consistent contact. Patience and vision stand out as plus tools. Controls the strike zone well, waits on his pitch and looks to drive the ball in his counts. Can get caught playing cricket on low and outside spin on occasions. Has bouts of defensive swings when he falls behind in counts. Is at his best when he fully commits and turns his hips loose. Overall a nice combination of contact, approach and the basis for quality contact. Above average tool that will flash plus but isn't quite there yet. Grade: 50

Power: Deloach is fairly short and compact to the ball, but has an optimized bat path geared towards consistent, lofted contact. Deloach will have bouts of defensive swings but has trended towards swinging with intent over the 2020 season. Deloach's swing allows him to get extended well out in front and his patient approach allows him to see many favorable counts. Hips look explosive to me and he syncs everything up well, flashing plus bat and hand speeds. After just 5 HR over 118 college games in 2018/2019, Deloach has shown both wood bat power in the cape and hit 6 HR in just 18 games with a metal bat in 2020. Easy average power that could trend towards above average and should play up in games due to his approach and bat path Grade: 45

Field: Fairly average across the board here. Deloach moves well underway in the outfield but is held back by a mediocre first-step and non-optimal routes. His natural speed gives him an outside shot at center, but he would need to improve his instincts significantly to stick there. He currently projects as a rangy but slightly erratic corner outfielder, with right field as a likely destination. Grade: 50

Arm: Deloach's arm is average to a tick above. He has decent carry and is fairly consistent with his angles. Arm strength has flashed above average in 2020 but over a limited sample size. Enough here to play at all three outfield positions, but not a plus tool. Grade: 50

Run: Deloach was a rare case of adding speed as he added weight. Bulked up to 210, Deloach has begun to flash legitimate plus run times in 2020. Right now, his long speed plays above his short area quickness, causing me to be a bit more conservative with his run grade in a baseball environment. That said, the man certainly moves well and if the team can improve his first step, he could really improve as a base stealing threat and in the outfield. Grade: 55

Overall: Deloach stands out for his overall, across the board skillset than any one tool. Currently, Deloach is average or better across the board with no true plus tools. That said, he has consistently been trending upwards and I wouldn't be shocked to see each tool tick up a half-grade. There is a good chance we haven't seen Delaoch's best baseball yet and he receives rave reviews for his work ethic and off the field drive to improve. For now, he profiles as a starting corner outfielder and #2 type hitter.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Nick Stillman

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: B/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Big bodied, thick, country-boy frame with sloping shoulders and a large lower half. Strong arms and quick wrists without much muscle definition. Relaxed and smooth motions, not explosive but easy actions and a slow heartbeat. Could still pack strength in upper half.

Hit: Switch-hitter with the tool at fringe average on both sides of the plate. Stands straight up in the box, rolls hands at the ear, modest step with good weight transfer and an uppercut swing. Swings hard to produce average to above bat speed, power coming from legs. Has good command of the strike zone. Current swing has some loop that allows him to elevate pitches low in the zone, but struggles against good velo, particularly at the top. Tendency to swing under balls, resulting in popups. Could improve with more reps and a lower set position that would create less movement through his swing. Likely tops out at an average hit tool Grade: 40

Power: Strong with above average raw power. His upper cut swing combined with a solid approach allows him to get to it in games. Uses lower body to get power to pull side with good hip separation, but has the strength to hit the ball out the other way and up the middle. Great sound coming off the bat, pure strength to tap into more as he develops at the plate. Grade: 55

Field: A former high school infielder, Raleigh has soft, quick hands that allow him to be a plus framer low in the zone with subtle glove movements and noticeably smooth motions. Big strides made defensively in 2019, owing in part to resting on one knee to gain stability. Glowing reports on his attitude, work ethic, and rapport with pitchers; a confident leader in the clubhouse. Can get sloppy with footwork on pitches in the dirt, but defense has been the largest improvement since the draft, indicating his coachability and drive. Grade: 50

Arm: Fringe average arm, clocked pop time between 1.95-2.03. Quick exchange, average footwork, and average arm strength. Struggled to throw out runners in 2019, accuracy of throws a larger issue than pure arm strength or exchange. Has raw tools to improve here, but footwork and average arm will limit him. Grade: 45

Run: Runs a bit choppy like his build would indicate; not lumbering or explosive, clocked at ~4.35 time to first. Can pick up some speed once he has momentum, leading to a quicker 1st to 3rd than up the line. Fringe average speed now, anticipating below average as he ages. Grade: 40

Overall: Cal is a big bodied athlete with great hands, big power, and the leadership qualities teams look for in a catcher. His hit tool and arm hold him back from the next tier of catching prospects, but the power, patience, framing, and intangibles will carry him to the big leagues and likely a role as an MLB regular. If the hit tool doesn't develop, he profiles as a back-up or an up-and-down guy.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 IFA
RuleV: 2020

Physical Description: Small and bulky frame, more room for growth and added muscle. Strong build with short arms with stocky legs. Lower half looks a bit more filled out than his upper body at the moment. Good composure on the mound, doesn't get rattled in tense situations. Calm and collected, credited for his work ethic this past summer.

Delivery & Mechanics: Short and loose arm action. Good extension and follow through on each pitch. Grips the ball and slings it to the plate with authority, right arm reaches his waist before it explodes out of his hand. Looks comfortable from the windup and stretch, arm action doesn't change in either scenario. Three-quarter arm slot delivery that plays well within his delivery. Consistent and repeated mechanics majority of the time, baseball comes out a bit funky at times. Overall good approach and delivery for a pitcher his size.

Fastball: Consistent mid-90s offering with late ride towards the top of the zone. Ball comes out explosive and a bit of late bite forces whiffs. Catches opposing batters off guard as it zips to the plate. Fastball keeps improving as velocity continues to rise, reportedly reaching 99 mph at Seattle's alternate training site. Effective pitch with plenty of velocity and good movement . Grade: 60

Slider: Low-to-mid-80s pitch with break at both sides of the plate. Throws it hard with good movement and spin to break out of the zone. Keeps it low at the knees, but it tends to hang over the zone a bit at times. Solid off-speed pitch in two-strike counts, plays it off his fastball very well. Solid pitch that could develop over time. Grade: 50

Changeup: Third and final off-speed offering that looks to be in the developmental stages. Rarely in any count, tends to stick with fastball-slider combination. Shows flashes of becoming a plus pitch with late bite and dip in velocity. Pitch tends to stay flat and up in the zone. Still a work in progress. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Good command for a pitcher his size and age. Pitches with confidence and composure, fills up the zone. Has a tendency to get ahead of the count and finish batters off quickly. Command struggles a bit as the at-bat lasts longer. Throws his fastball and slider in any count, and hits his target a good amount. May get a bit wild at times, but shakes it off and battles back in the count. Shows growth and maturity with each start. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: In his second stint with the Mariners organization, Then has shown flashes of steady improvement dating back to 2019 coupled with his progress at Seattle's alternate training site. His fastball continues to tick upward in velocity, making it an effective offering with the late life it has towards the top of the zone. Then's slider is thrown with break at both sides of the plate that plays well off his heater, and his changeup has shown signs of being a plus pitch as it develops. He fills up the zone with good command and control for a pitcher his size and age. Then is an intriguing prospect to keep an eye on as he continues to develop.

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 1, CIN
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Strong, well-built frame with muscular upper-half and strong lower-half. Good height and weight for his position. Athletic profile with broad shoulders. Nothing more to fill out, near full maturity. Fast and athletic on both sides, has a good work ethic. Hustles to first base on groundouts and makes the extra effort on multiple occasions.

Hit: Above-average hit tool with loud contact to right field, more of a pull-heavy approach currently. Finds his pitch and drives it to the gaps in right-center. Quick hands and bat speed, turns on hangers in the zone. Misses or makes soft contact at off-speed pitches away, gets him out of his comfort zone at times. Minor right leg lift in his stance, lets his hands and upper-body strength do most of the work. Solid approach and bat speed helps him make the most of his physical tools. Grade: 55

Power: Solid hit tool, but power still leaves a bit to be desired. Has showcased home run power, more gap power is present. Gets the ball in the air on occasion, and drives the ball deep to right field when he gets a hold of one. Needs to be more selectively aggressive deep in the count to maximize power. Has the work ethic and physical tools to increase his pop. Showed improved power last season in Amarillo, and has the ability to reach double-digit homers at the next level. Still fits the profile of a contact-oriented hitter Grade: 40

Field: Has the makings of an above-average defender with his speed and instincts. Athleticism helps him get a good jump on the ball. Smooth and crisp routes to track the ball in the outfield. Good awareness in key situations, seems to make the right play in any given moment. Few glimpses of some uncommon mistakes and mental errors last season, but solid outfield presence. Grade: 60

Arm: Lacks the arm strength and accuracy in left and center field. Throws are off target and struggles to reach home plate from either position. His arm is a significant weakness. Opposing runners test him in the outfield by advancing a base. Arm strength and accuracy concerns makes his future in center field uncertain, may lean more toward left field. Grade: 40

Run: Good speed across the board, major threat as soon as he reaches base. Long, gazelle-like strides and immediate bursts out of the box. Great quickness and jump, but also selectively aggressive stealing a bag. Very smart base stealer, picks his time to go and rarely gets caught. Advances bases and scores on sacrifice flies with ease. Stretches routine doubles into triples. Combined with his knack for walks and getting on base, he's a constant pest for opposing pitchers. Grade: 55

Overall: Heading into his fifth professional season with his third team, Taylor Trammell is more of a finished product knocking on the door of his MLB debut. His solid hit tool and ability to reach base are his best attributes he's built upon in the minors. Trammell has the physical tools and profile to tap into more power, but he's more gap-oriented than pure pop. His minor swing adjustments with the Padres organization showcased more power last season, but he may not reach his ceiling of 20-plus homers in a season. With his plus-speed and patient approach, he fits the profile of a center fielder, but his lackluster arm may lean more toward left field. After a disappointing 2019 season, it will be interesting to see if Tramell continues his power surge at the plate, and he's likely to reach the big leagues by 2021.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Joe Doyle

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Tall, strong, athletic build with especially strong lower half. Shoulders are well-developed and tall. Shows above average athleticism for the position, two-way guy as recent as 2018. Physical projection mostly capped.

Delivery & Mechanics: Very good arm speed w/over-the-top delivery. Exceptional deception as ball releases from behind his ear. Hand-break is late with medium arm length. High, aggressive leg kick is well-balanced and leads to big hip drive. Good extension with no energy leakage in lead leg block. No contralateral tilt, though does fall off at times when front side flies open.

Fastball: 92-95/t96 with good riding life up in the zone and some arm-side run. Spots well low and away. Definite out-pitch potential up in the zone. Grade: 55

Curveball: Not a pitch he's deployed much of late in bullpens. Still lacks conviction of two primary offerings. Shows 11-5 break with good 2-plane break. Command is average. Arm action and release point must improve if it's to reach a bigger ceiling. Fringy right now. Pitch shape and command should lend well to future projection. Grade: 50

Changeup: 83-85 - Definitely a plus offering. Impressive arm speed for player with his lack of experience. Very good separation off the fastball with similar tunneling characteristics. Late fade and tumble which he commands well, especially on right-handed batters backfoot. Has shown a tendency to overthrow and spike at times. Pitch lives at the bottom of the zone. Grade: 60

Control and Command: Command remains strong for a guy who's missed so much time. Spots the fastball and changeup quite well. Curveball is a work-in-progress though shows signs of being a big league offering. Walks shouldn't be an excessive issue. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: For a guy that's missed over two full years of baseball, Carlson still has plenty of intrigue surrounding his profile. Still displays a very quick arm, sound mechanics and competitive fire. Physical characteristics are now prototype. Very real upside. Modest chance to reach #3 ceiling, though more than likely a no. 4. Health will be paramount... potential for accelerated development.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-6
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Long, lanky and slender build. Solid upper half, a bit thinner lower half. Tall frame, but has a slight muscular build with broad shoulders and strong legs. Overall compact frame due to his size and length, chance to add more girth to his lower half.

Delivery & Mechanics: Quick and fluid arm action that goes off without a hitch. Controlled follow through after each pitch. Don't see much effort in his delivery, pretty smooth throughout each pitch. Comfortable keeping the same motion, gets the pitch off in the stretch. Tight and compact. Great extension with each pitch due to his length, let's him tick in velocity. Short, compact delivery that he repeats well. Windup looks a bit slow from a distance, but the ball explodes to the plate. Seems very comfortable from the stretch, delivery shortens up and is quick to get there. Very little effort to reach his peak velocity, as well as optimum break for off-speed pitches. Compact and repeated delivery.

Fastball: Mid-to-high 90s offering that forces a ton of whiffs. Long, wiry frame allows him to get good velocity with late rising action toward the top of the zone. Very effective pitch, electric coming out of his hands. Quick to the plate, and it zips by opposing batters. Gets ahead of the count with the fastball, and utilizes it as a strikeout pitch at times. Grade: 55

Curveball: Mid-70s offering that looks to be his best off-speed pitch. Plenty of depth and break that pairs well with his velocity-packed fastball. Good drop and break out of the zone to force swings and misses. Looks comfortable throwing it from the windup or the stretch, and the result stays the same. Solid off-speed pitch that finishes off hitters with late bite. Grade: 55

Slider: Another off-speed pitch with solid break, though not as refined as his curveball. Low-to-mid-80s in velocity, good dive at the end to force whiffs. Not thrown as much, still needs improvement as a consistent third pitch. Can be left hanging over the zone or thrown in the dirt at times. Still has the makings of another hard off-speed pitching with more time. Grade: 50

Changeup: Work in progress as he develops on the farm. Dip in velocity to the fastball, but a bit flat. Not much spin or deception to it, just a bit of a "hanger" at the moment. Rarely thrown, but more confidence and effort has been made to improve it. Can develop into a solid fourth pitch, but for now it's a bit lacking. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Struggles at times to find his spot consistently. Fastball flies over the head of the catcher, curveball/slider bounce in the dirt occasionally. Has improved in picking his spots to attack hitters in the zone. Signs of improvement, but more needs to happen. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: Williamson's stuff is eye-popping at times. His fastball has late movement and the type of zip you want to see from a lanky left-hander. His curveball is a great complimentary off-speed pitch to counter the heat with great drop and break out of the zone. His slider and changeup need improvement, but he has the makings of a solid MLB starter if his intriguing arsenal comes together.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Alex Jensen

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Long, lean and athletic 6'4 frame that has added some good weight since draft date. Prototype starters frame. Controls his body well and still has room to add 10-15 pounds of good weight. QB frame.

Delivery & Mechanics: Clean, repeatable arm action with an uncanny ability to find consistency with his release point. Length of levers and frame leads to huge extension. Low release height thanks to extension and arm slot. Above average to plus arm speed comes with slight effort but head stays steady. Clean and repeatable with almost surgical precision. Slight rocker step leads into windup with natural delivery and tempo. Torque and shoulder rotation stand out. Easy to see velo projection as he continues to add good weight.

Fastball: One of the better commanded pitches in baseball. Has sat 91-93 in the past but is now sitting 93-95. Was consistently touching 98-99 in instructs as he has added nearly 15 pounds since the draft. Finds and controls all quadrants of the zone. High usage pitch that is used as a tool to control counts. Good velocity, plus command and late movement help Kirby find the zone without finding barrels. Grade: 60

Curveball: 11-5 movement profile is thrown somewhat hard in the low 80's. Arm action doesn't stick out from other offerings and he repeats the pitch well. Not a dynamic chase pitch yet, but he throws it with confidence and finds the zone. Hitters looking fastball are unable to adjust until it's too late. Main weapon used against lefties. Plays above it's grade due to plus command of the pitch. Grade: 55

Slider: The more volatile of his breaking pitches. Thrown in the mid to high 80's with sharp bite when it's on, the slider will flash plus and is especially dangerous against righties. He seems less confident with the slider than his curve and command is game to game. Will scrap pitch completely in starts where command of the pitch isn't there for him. Has a chance to develop into his best secondary in time, but command is currently too inconsistent. Grade: 55

Changeup: Still gaining confidence in his least used pitch. Mimics fastball arm speed and action well. Shows flashes of plus sink and good depth when it's on and keeps solid 8-10 mph velocity separation when it's working. Throws strikes with it, but command isn't as consistent as his fastball, but likely will come with reps. Plus pitch ceiling, but still developing currently. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Some of the best control/command in the entire minors and perhaps even in baseball. If command of his secondaries improves to near his fastball level, we could be talking about Bieber level command here. Gives him an incredibly high floor as a starter without sacrificing ceiling. Control: 70 | Command: 60

Overall: This is how you draw them up. Kirby flashes the ability to miss bats without giving up free bases and avoids mistake pitches. Hitters have to earn it. Prototype frame and added weight should be monumental for his durability. Floor is a backend starter, but if his secondaries can tick up we could be talking about a top-of-rotation guy. Not there yet, but has been trending in the right direction. Fun blend of floor and ceiling who has drawn rave reviews off of the field.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Joe Doyle

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Strong, sturdy, muscled build. Still growing. Long arms, high, broad shoulders and barrel chested. Physique is approaching full maturity. Impressive, explosive athletic package. Has added 30 pounds of muscle in last 18 months. Speed has diminished a full grade with added weight.

Hit: Slightly open stance with high hands and a slight bat waggle. Massive leg kick has been subdued a bit over the last year, but notable leg-kick still present. Pull-heavy at present. Good hip-shoulder separation. Ability to lay-off breaking balls and taking breaking balls the other way has improved. Struggles with offspeed, ambushes fastball. Impressive impact bat that is still immature and developing understanding of sequencing of pitches. Potential middle of the order slugging bat with good hit tool. Grade: 55

Power: Big, strong body with added muscle caters to powerful swing. Hip-shoulder separation and bat path create good barrel velos. Some similarities to Manny Machado swing/bat profile. Already present plus pull-side power. Shows signs of opposite field impact as well. Still young, trajectory of impact middle-of-the-order bat. Grade: 60

Field: Below average defender a year ago. Footwork and timing on the dirt have drastically improved. Arm accuracy now grades fringe average. Body is growing off of shortstop, may be forced to third base. Shows good lateral mobility and explosiveness. Hands are still a work in progress. Arm strength will play beautifully at third base. Grade: 50

Arm: Very strong arm. Accuracy has been an issue, though mostly a product of poor footwork and letting the game speed up on him. Has slowed things down a good bit at Summer Camp. Arm will play anywhere on the field, accuracy will dictate whether he can stick on the dirt. Projects best at third base Grade: 60

Run: Previously a double-plus runner, has fallen into plus grade with added weight and mass. Still shows exceptional athleticism and will remain a plus runner for the foreseeable future. May regress into an average runner in his prime, but legs should be an asset on the basepaths for the next several years. Grade: 50

Overall: Very loud, projectable tools across the board. Marte still requires polish on the hit tool and on defense, but both aspects of his game have taken positive steps forward stateside. Still could potentially be a shortstop long-term, though that will likely be answered in the next calendar year. Bat projects best at third base where there stands the potential for an impact, middle of the order stick with all-star potential.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Joe Doyle

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Tall, strong righty with long arms and athletic build. Sloping, broad shoulders with a good track record of health.

Delivery & Mechanics: Extremely low arm slot with good extension coming from a low 3/4 arm slot. It's a short-arm action akin to that of someone like Max Scherzer. Mechanics are sound and safe. Hancock is quad dominant with good stride. Front side can fly open at times, but otherwise consistent mechanically.

Fastball: 93-96/t98 with armside run and sink. Can change orientation to ride at top of the zone. Pitch seems to sometimes lack conviction. Hittable at times. Explosive potential is mechanics and consistency are refined. At it's best the fastball is 95-97/98 with late movement and deception. Grade: 60

Curveball: Low-80s power breaker that wasn't thrown much in college simply because he didn't have to. When thrown, showed good depth and late bite. Average more often than not. Grade: 50

Slider: 83-86 with tight break. Young pitcher who's still finding feels for optimized breaking ball and ability to throw for strikes. At it's best, the slider has an aggressive horizontal approach angle with late sweep and depth. Definitive out-pitch. Grade: 55

Changeup: Difference maker. Lots of tumble and fade into righties. Shows good command for the pitch and excellent arm-speed. Deployed slider more often, but changeup more often than not flashed better. May be the second-best pro offering Grade: 60

Control and Command: Fastball command will be a big development emphasis. If spotted on corners, Hancock will be a very, very tough at-bat. Secondaries are all impressive and make for a good arsenal, thrown for strikes on most occasions. Control: 50 | Command: 50

Overall: At his best, Hancock has shown the ability to be a top of the rotation arm with big stuff across the board. When he's not right, he falls behind in counts and leaves fastballs over the heart of the plate. He'll live and die on fastball command, but if the consistency comes, he could be a top of the rotation horse.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Nick Stillman

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-6
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: At 6' 6", Gilbert has a lanky frame. His weight is evenly distributed throughout his wiry arms and legs, with only modest room for muscle growth. Average athleticism. A cerebral pitcher, Gilbert has a reputation for intense study and a drive for self-improvement. Mentally tough, Gilbert is rarely overwhelmed and will make adjustments inning to inning.

Delivery & Mechanics: Gilbert reaches back and slings the ball from a 3/4th slot, a result of his long levered, smooth delivery. There's little apparent effort and his frame and motion allows him elite extension (reportedly over seven and a half feet) as he gets down the mound and releases on top of hitters. Finishes slightly off balance, but is consistent and fluid with good hip separation.

Fastball: His best pitch, Gilbert's four-seam fastball sits 92-95, t97 with plenty of ride. Fastball plays up as his extension allows him a late release, increasing perceived velocity and adding deception. Generates late life with modest armside run. Possesses above average command and can locate consistently at the top of the zone where it acts as a putaway pitch when paired with his secondary offerings. Grade: 60

Curveball: Gilbert tosses an average curve that flashes above and sits in the mid 70s (74-77). A true 12-6 shape that is distinct from the slider with a spike grip, Gilbert deploys it to steal strikes and set up the high fastball. Early in counts he throws a slow, tumbling breaker that hitters give up on before it pops into the zone, while late in counts he'll throw a sharper breaker that bounces for swings, though it's not as effective as the slider. Shape and break were inconsistent in 2019, but the velo difference allowed Gilbert to freeze hitters even on hangers at the top of the zone. Pitch is most effective to tunnel with the high fastball as hitters had trouble distinguishing the two. Needs to increase consistency and maintain that late break as advanced competition will punish mistakes. Grade: 55

Slider: Sitting 82-85, Gilbert's best secondary is a hard, sweeping slider that has taken a step forward as a pro. It's now an above average pitch that flashes plus. He'll throw it to lefties and righties, burying it back-foot to lefties and off the plate to righties. Can throw it for strikes, but is most effective as a two-plane putaway breaker that tunnels with the fastball. Lacks consistency as it can lose shape inning to inning, blending into a hittable slurve. When he has feel, he misses plenty of bats and the pitch looked more consistent in brief looks in 2020. Grade: 50

Changeup: Sitting 84-87, Gilbert has improved a fading, circle changeup that he throws with consistent arm speed. The pitch sits average with some late sink and fade, but he throws the occasional plus change that falls off the table, hinting at its potential. An underused pitch in 2019, Gilbert deployed it primarily to generate soft contact against lefties, but reports from 2020 intersquad are that changeup development was a focus for Gilbert, with positive early results. This pitch has the most potential to determine Gilbert's ceiling, as an above average or plus changeup will open up the rest of his arsenal and give him another weapon against left handed hitters Grade: 55

Control and Command: A strike-thrower that fills the zone, Gilbert is currently control over command, but his ability to throw all four pitches in the zone keeps hitters guessing. At the big league level he'll need to refine his command to keep hitters off balance, but his easy, repeatable delivery signals at least above average command moving forward. Control: 55 | Command: 55

Overall: Gilbert pairs four average to plus big league pitches with elite extension and solid command. He has the tools to be a middle of the rotation starter and the competitive drive and slow heartbeat to maximize them to land in the top of the rotation. If the changeup develops, Gilbert's ceiling could be as a number two starter. If his stuff stagnates, he still has the current mix of tools and Baseball IQ to stick in the middle of a rotation.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 215 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Physically matured. Intimidating presence in the box with large arms, broad shoulders and strong lower-half. Sturdy build and athletic frame. Matured his body building lean muscle this past year. Good work ethic, spends countless hours in the cages improving his swing. Genuine belief he and those around him are destined for greatness. Plays a fun brand of baseball. Student of the game, soaks in advice from hitting coaches and teammates. Solid makeup and character.

Hit: Right-handed hit tool that produces consistent hard contact. Consistent barrels. Sound approach to all fields, still a bit more pull-heavy at the moment. Patient approach that works the count with tremendous patience. Hard line-drive outs to the outfield, not many soft ground balls. Impact bat. Grade: 60

Power: Raw, tantalizing power. Bat just sounds different. Jumps on mistakes in the zone with extreme exit velocities. Drives the ball to the gaps for extra bases. Doesn't need much effort to produce home run power. Makes the most of his physical tools, strong upper and lower half stay connected in his swing to drive balls over the fence. Loud power, especially pull-side. Impressive package and work ethic translates to plus-power. Maybe double-plus raw. Grade: 60

Field: Average fielder with good instincts and play on the ball. Lack of speed and athleticism catches up to him at times. Hard-hit balls sail over his head due to bad routes. Hustles to the ball, his frame and size could play all three outfield positions. His strong arm tends to lean to right or center field. More room for improvement as he gets consistent reps at one spot. Grade: 45

Arm: Strong, cannon arm that makes throws from every spot in the outfield. Guns down runners reaching for second from the corners. Throws one-hop to home plate from center. Good arm strength to get the ball out quickly. Ball stays low and lacks tail with accuracy and precision. Makes the smart play. Hits the cut-off man when needed. Plus-arm that plays well in the outfield. Grade: 60

Run: Speed is a good for now, but should regress as he ages. Lacks quickness and burst out of the box or in the field. Has long strides, just a bit bulky. Doesn't lumber, Tons of hustle. Aggressive approach to steal an occasional bag. Good instincts on the base paths. Grade: 50

Overall: Since signing as an international amateur free agent with the Mariners in 2017-18, Julio Rodriguez is recognized as one of the most intriguing prospects in baseball. His athletic profile produces consistent triple-digit exit velocities and supreme raw power. His strong arm bodes well to his future in any outfield spot, which makes up for his lack of speed. Rodriguez still needs time to develop complete understanding as a hitter. Maybe the most enticing bat in minor league ball.

Jan 2021 Report

Evaluator: Mike Kinsela

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft, Round 4
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Long, lean, projectable build with wiry muscle and tons of room for growth. High-waisted with athletic look. Plus-plus body.

Hit: Blakely has above-average bat speed and over time has done an excellent job refining his swing path from a pure uppercut stroke to more of an on-plane, smooth path. He's unrefined in terms of identifying offspeed stuff as well as his overall control of the strike zone, and swing-and-miss is currently abundant in his game. Long, long ways to go in terms of developing the hit tool but has components. Grade: 30

Power: The bat speed and physical projection allow for substantial power projection. Blakely is already capable of driving the ball pull-side out of the yard and has shown some feel for using the backside gap. The raw power projection here is easily plus, though projecting game power given the limited hit tool projection is more difficult. Grade: 45

Field: Hit-and-miss currently, as Blakely has the actions and athleticism to be a standout defender but isn't there in terms of consistency yet. Flashes plus hands and feet, moves extremely well and has plus range, still working on the pitch-to-pitch consistency that the position requires, but has big upside as a defender. Grade: 50

Arm: Plus raw arm strength, when he lets it rip it's impressive with zip and carry, inconsistencies plague this tool as well, internal clock is unrefined yet, accuracy and consistency also unrefined, still the makings of a plus tool here potentially. Grade: 50

Run: Plus runner, moves extremely well, quick out of the box and down the line, second gear is impressive, can tell athleticism in the infield as well. Grade: 60

Overall: Blakely is potentially as high-risk/high-reward a player as there was in the 2020 draft. As a prep bat with wild swings between good and bad throughout his toolset, any outcome is possible. He could repeat rookie ball repeatedly and never see levels above that, or he could be an above-average big leaguer with loud power/defense/athleticism tools.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Joe Doyle

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 204 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 1, NYM
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Strong, sturdy, muscled build. Thick lower half, broad shoulders and barrel chested. Physique is matured and optimized. Shows good power and speed in impressive athletic package. Explosive, fluid movements. Unmatched competitive drive with extreme personal expectations. Has yet to face extended adversity in performance.

Hit: Slightly open stance with even weight and balance distribution throughout entire operation. Slightly crouched with moderately wide base. Incredibly short to the ball with impressive bat speed. Body movements are synced up and fluid from load through through contact. Head is still. Keeps weight back on all pitches. Finds plenty of barrels in all four quadrants. Attacks velocity at the top of the zone with ease. Mature approach, will take his walks while demonstrating advanced pitch recognition. Can be susceptible to breaking balls from RHP at his back foot and plus breaking stuff away from lefties. Future plus hitter that will play at the top or middle of any lineup. Grade: 60

Power: Optimized kinetic chain through his swing. Shortness to ball allows for big extension and strength out front. Swing plane is geared to drive the ball through the air without selling out for fly balls. Impressive strength in his legs and core help produce big exit velos for his size. Easy plus pull-side power with the ability to drive the occasional fastball over the opposite field wall as well. Middle of the order impact power that he gets to in-game Grade: 60

Field: Above average defender with impressive instincts and effort/hustle; strong routes and reactions in the outfield; good range in center, may be forced into a corner if the body slows down - should be able to stick in centerfield into him prime. Ranges to his left and to his right; tracks the ball well back to infield; fluid motions and could dissolve if he puts on too much more muscle mass. Reliable, above average defender in center, likely a plus defender in either corner. Grade: 55

Arm: Shows very good arm strength, throws line drives into the infield and to home that lack much tail or extra carry. One of the quicker catch-to-release mechanics I have seen. Incredibly quick to get rid of the ball. Capable of gunning down an advancing runner. A definitive asset in centerfield, would fit well in right field Grade: 60

Run: Above average runner that uses instincts in the field and on the basepaths to get the most out of his speed. Will be a base-stealing threat and will certainly try to take the extra base. Hit & power tools should allow him a very strong chance at being a 20-20 guy at big league level. Achieved such feat in 2019. Grade: 55

Overall: Loud tools across the board. Should be a no doubt middle of the lineup bat. Asset on the basepaths and should make some highlight plays in the outfield. Only item left unchecked is how he'll respond to adversity and prolonged slump. Unrelenting desire for greatness suggests he'll be fine. Impact player profile here.
