Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 184 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 1 (LAA)
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Compact build, with good strength throughout and some natural twitch. Broad square shoulders, with a strong core. Likely to maintain conditioning but unlikely to be overly physical. Lacks projection physically.

Hit: Set square, lots of hand movement pre-pitch; bat wag pre-load, high leg lift timing mechanism. Short compact stroke with plus bat speed. Will get on base at an average rate, but there will be some swing and miss and chase mixed in. Below average approach overall, but he makes up for it with simple mechanics, a compact swing, and that loud bat speed. Shows the ability to make adjustments, but is ultimately hindered by his aggressive tendencies. Still an average hit with good contact skills and quality of contact. Grade: 50

Power: Power plays in game due to bat speed, and leverage. Hardest contact is almost exclusively to his pull-side. Looks to get out in front and drive pitches in the inner-half. Ambush fastball power that is compact enough to play versus velocity. Lacks the physicality to push the in-game power to above-average. Grade: 50

Field: Below average fielder that doesn't have a true home in the infield. Likely ends up at second where some of his footwork issues can be masked by positioning. Can play third or short in a pinch. Can rush through actions, hands are below average. Actions are inconsistent. Grade: 40

Arm: Average arm, enough to play on the led side of the infield. Certainly enough zip and carry for second base. Grade: 50

Run: Average runner, can add an extra gear when underway. Stretched balls in the gap to triples at times in college. Heads up base runner that will not be a determinant on the base paths. Grade: 50

Overall: Bat first infielder that may land as an offensive-driven utility type. The bat will play and it's the reason Wilson went in the first round back in 2019. Was a strong college performer, but struggled at times out the gate as a professional. The bat speed and his ability to make contact are not in doubt. How much impact he provides overall are, and do to a lack of supporting skills he must hit to earn a long term major league role.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: above-average height. Solidly built is mostly physically maxed out. Has some additional room for upper-body strength. High waisted.

Hit: Stands slightly crouched. Starts with the bat on his shoulder but gets his hands high and back as he loads. Uses a moderate leg kick as his timing mechanism. Keeps his weight on his back foot and transfers that weight with a rotational swing that generates some natural loft off the bat. Wide base at impact helps him drive the ball when he barrels it. It's a linear swing that is capable of getting the ball in the air. Pairs above-average bat speed with innate bat-to-ball skills; fights off pitches and puts the ball in play often. Patient approach and sometimes too much so. Shows a feel for the zone and knows when to lay off pitches. Does not chase often, but has a tendency to overswing. Struggled against lefties in 2019 in a small sample; does appear to be more comfortable facing righties. Has above-average bat-to-ball skills and his hit tool as a whole could be above-average in time with further refinement. He has a present contact-oriented approach. Grade: 50

Power: Above-average or better raw power, particularly to the pull side. Gets the ball in the air, but it's mostly to the gaps during games. Began using the whole field with more regularity in 2019. Already uses his lower body well and he has a rotational swing; both indicate future power growth but it may come at the expense of his hit tool. Would do well to find pitches to drive. Grade: 50

Field: Moves well enough in the field to give hope he can stick at 3B, but he only has fringe-average lateral quickness. Keeps the ball in front of him and charges with authority, but his glove work is still unrefined. Struggles with errors at times. Below-average range at 3B that plays up because of his awareness. Added weight would decrease his range even further. Can make some difficult plays because of his arm talent, but the overall package is still fringey. Could face a move across the diamond at some point in his development. Grade: 45

Arm: Strong arm with good carry across the infield. Throws from a low 3/4 slot. Quick arm. Shows comfort in throwing to 2B and 1B. Makes some difficult throws to 1B while charging the ball. Will drop his arm to a low sidearm to get the ball out quickly. Quick transfers. Arm fits at 3B. Grade: 60

Run: Timed 4.29 down the line from the left side. Not a threat to steal, but does show good awareness on the base paths. Grade: 40

Overall: Toribio offers an intriguing skillset because of his bat-to-ball skills, but he's yet to produce the power coveted at a corner infield spot. He does flash above-average or better raw power, so there is some hope he'll grow into it as he progresses in his development. He has the makings of a future second-division regular at 3B, but he'll need to work hard to stick there and avoid a platoon or bench role.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 2 FAC
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Average physical build, thin, but strong. Room to add 15 pounds of muscle in the coming years. Good athlete moves fast on the mound.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; 3/4 slot, long arm action, fast arm; drop and drive delivery. Gets downhill quickly. Repeats well, high effort, moderate leg kick, shorter stride, lands in good position to field, despite head whack.

Fastball: Below average fastball, sits 88-90 mph, touching 93 mph. Lacks sink or ride in the zone. Flat, controls well but commands poorly. Easily hittable, mostly thrown as a setup for his changeup. Lands far too many over the heart of the plate for his velocity and movement profile. Grade: 40

Curveball: Slow 1-7 curveball, sits 74-77 mph with late tailing action. Looks to back door the pitch to left handers. Good swing and miss pitch he has feel for, will throw it to both left handed and right handed batters. Third pitch but used with frequency. Primary secondary versus lefties. Grade: 50

Changeup: Plus pitch and his best swing and miss offering. Sits 75-77 mph, with late devastating run. Will use left on left with frequency, but dominates right handed hitters. Sells it with arm speed and feel. Commands the pitch with precision, clustering the bottom arm-side quadrant. Misses bats at a high rate. Grade: 60

Control and Command: In the shortened 2020 collegiate season he found his command and control. He still lacks great feel for his fastball, but his elite changeup feel and good breaking command allow him to earn an fringe-average command grade despite early struggles with strike throwing as an underclassman. Executes plan of attack landing his changeup armside and his curveball gloveside. Should improve his fastball command with time. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: A developing starter profile who looked to be in the midst of a breakout in 2020 prior to the shutdown. Needs to add velocity and improve his fastball shape and command, but he has two very viable secondaries and a good plan of attack. His ability to dominate righthanders and use two secondaries in same side matchups give him a chance to stick in the rotation. Fastball velo gains would go a long way toward providing Swiney with a bullpen role fallback plan. The lack of velocity and premium shape are factors holding back a potential Swiney from mid-rotation potential.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2017 Round 3
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Good pitcher's body. Every bit of 6' 2" 195 pound list. Athletic, sturdy build. Average torso; high waist with broad shoulders and long levers. Average core; sturdy lower half. Minimal physical projection remaining.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; tall and fall deployment. High 3/4 arm slot with above-average arm speed and moderate effort in the delivery. Short stride with above-average extension. Above-average deception from belt high leg kick and late exposure. High slot generates natural downward plane. Good rhythm. Simple mechanics that are repeated fairly well.

Fastball: Sits 91-94 t96; mostly fringy low-90s velocity. Heavy sink when he pounds it in the lower third. Modest arm-side run elsewhere in the zone. Navigates the pitch well around the zone; manipulates velo and movement. Offering elicits both swing and miss and weak contact. Advanced pitchability, great extension and deception pad the overall quality of the offering. Grade: 55

Curveball: Hammer curveball; sits 79-83 with tight rotation, huge sweepy depth and sharp bite. Backdoors the offering early in counts to steal strikes and works it away as a swing and miss chaser. Challenges RHB, absolute murder on LHB as a put-away offering. Has gained consistency over his pro career; should develop into an above-average weapon. Grade: 55

Changeup: Offering has vastly improved with pro instruction. Sits 83-85 with optimal velo separation; has feel, thrown with conviction while maintaining arm-speed. Features impressive late tumble and modest arm-side fade at its best. Solid against same sided batters; tough against RHB. Elicits both swing and miss and weak contact. Grade: 50

Control and Command: Shows flashes of advanced pitchability; sequencing well, pitching backwards and attacking all four quads. Manipulates velo and movement extremely well. Can get too creative and passive at times hunting for strikeouts; resulting in long at-bats and strings of free passes. Has made great strides annually with pro instruction but overall it's likely a limited command profile probably better suited for a reliever role. Control: 40 | Command: 40

Overall: Corry's profile features an above-average arsenal with raw pitchabilty and the ability to miss bats and generate weak contact. A potential mid-rotation stalwart, the inconsistent command has me bearish, thinking a bullpen role is the more likely outcome. Regardless, Corry is a prospect worth closely monitoring this season as his handedness and impressive arsenal are likely to have big league impact regardless of the role he's given.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 3
RuleV: 2024

Physical Description: Average height, thin, long arms and legs, high waisted, good athlete. Plenty of projection remaining and he should be able to add strength without becoming bulky.

Delivery & Mechanics: Semi-windup; long hook arm action, low 3/4 arm slot, fast arm, with extremely low release height. High leg lift; drop and drive delivery, repeats well.

Fastball: Sat 91-94 mph pre-draft was up to 97 mph during instructional league. Good movement and command to all four quadrants. Uncomfortable look for hitters due to his low release and low slot from the left side. It's the type of fastball that disappears on hitters, with some natural cutting action that allows it to tunnel with his slurvy breaking ball. Generates lots of swings and misses in the upper-quadrants. Above-average pitch that very likely ends up plus at peak. Grade: 55

Slider: Sweepy slider in the 77-79 mph range pre-draft. Another pitch that plays up due to his low lefty slot. Likes to land it armside sneaking back foot and back door when he gets around it. Wasn't used heavily as an amateur but was his go to secondary. Average pitch with above-average ceiling. Grade: 50

Changeup: Below average pitch, low-80s offering with inconsistent shape. Little to no feel at this point. Definitely an area for development in the future. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Strike thrower that's heavily fastball dominant in terms of sequencing. He commands his fastball well to all parts of the zone. Will overthrow it at times but his release point is fairly consistent leading to lots of strike throwing. Slider command is average will shows flashes of feel on both side of the plate. Lacks feel or command of a changeup with limited the overall grade. Control: 50 | Command: 45

Overall: Exciting arm with the possibility of developing two plus pitches. At present he has an above-average fastball and a slider that's consistently average with flashes of plus. There's no third pitch at present but there's still time to develop changeup feel or add another variation. A talented lefty that's already added velocity and muscle as a professional.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-5
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2019 Round 1
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Tall, strong, with good physicality. Extremely athletic build with smooth easy mechanisms that shine through in his swing. Room to add maybe 10-15 pounds of muscle and the ability to do it without losing athleticism.

Hit: Sets slightly open; hands set high by ear flap; crouch used as timing mechanism. Slight toe tap, lighting fast hands and bat speed. Shows the ability to stay on time and keep hands inside. Destroys fastballs, which is where he does most of his damage. Struggles against spin and offspeed. Fairly angular bat path that leads to a major hole down and away. Any pitch on the bottom outside quadrant is an automatic strike. Shows the ability to hit the high fastball and anything on the inner-half. Will expand but almost exclusively versus sliders and changeups. Will always swing and miss but balances it with on-base ability and quality of contact. Hole in his swing will ultimately keep him from an average hit tool. Grade: 45

Power: Double-plus raw that plays plus in games. Elite bat speed, raw strength and leverage allow Bishop to hit for power consistently putting on shows in batting practice and connecting for light tower shots in game. Adjustments to his setup and ultimately his swing path that simplified his movement and unlocked plus in game power. Grade: 60

Field: Average fielder that takes inconsistent and often inefficient routes to the ball. Plus speed allows him to cover ground and make up for poor reads off the bat. Despite his lack of awareness his speed covers for his warts. Grade: 50

Arm: Below average arm that lacks carry or strength. Likely ends up in left field due to his lack of arm strength. Grade: 40

Run: Plus runner that will steal bases and put pressure on defenses with his base running. Speed allows him to handle any position in the outfield, even if his routes and arm limit that in reality. Grade: 60

Overall: A tooled up but imperfect prospect, with some of the loudest tools and highest upside of any of the Giants position players. Unlikely to be a star due to his struggles versus spin and lack of defensive value. He will however fill the highlight reels with his power and speed. Hitting long home runs and stealing bases. There's a possibility his fielding and contact skills improve to the point that he pushes star level, but he's comfortably an everyday regular due to his impact offensively. A talented player destined for high highs and low lows.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 210 lbs
Hits/Throws: S/R
Acquired: 2020 Round 1
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: strong, boxy frame, broad shoulders with a strong lower half. Moderate athleticism and high level upper body strength.

Hit: Switch-hitter with different setups from each side of the plate. Starts open when hitting left handed, deep bend, almost toilet seat, busy hands, with a long, slow, and high leg lift trigger mechanism. As a right handed hitter, sets square to the pitcher, with very busy hands pre-load, it's a strong, quick swing, with less moving parts but less natural fluidity than his lefty stroke. The two swings share a common characteristic of being heavily hands driven. Doesn't tap much into his lower half, particularly right handed. Strong approach works deep into counts with limited swing and miss. Elite on-base skills, and strong quality of contact. No split issues, but stronger performance versus left handers. Above-average hit tool. Grade: 55

Power: Above-average bat speed, strong leverage swing and a bat path driven toward elevating. Consistently gets to power in games, driving the ball heavily to his pull-side from each side of the plate. Above average exit velocity and the metrics back the performance. Strong barrel control, limits bad contact, and despite loft and a heavy flyball approach he limits pop-ups. Stronger to his pullside from the left side of the plate but his power plays from both sides. Grade: 50

Field: Average fielder, good catch and throw type with strong receiving skills, but at times below average blocking. Working more from one knee during instructs. Likely to stick behind the plate, but more as steady defender than an above-average one. Grade: 50

Arm: Above average arm, with consistent sub-two second pop times. Accurate on throws to second. Has the arm to stick behind the plate. Grade: 55

Run: Below average runner, that will hustle out of the box. Not a base clogger, but speed may diminish over time. Not a part of his game. Grade: 40

Overall: Strong all-around catching prospect, with the bat to be one of the better offensive performers at the position. Strong combination of approach, contact, and power. Good build with enough athleticism for him to maintain civility behind the plate. Good catch and throw skills, and average framer. Should move fairly quickly, splitting time with Joey Bart.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Kerns

Age: 19 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 160 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Average height with a lean build. High-waisted. Has room to fill out and add upper body strength. Athletic.

Hit: Stands mostly upright in the box. Keeps his hands high and back. Some pre-pitch bat movement. Uses a moderate leg kick as his timing mechanism. Keeps his weight on his back foot. Linear swing that produces line-drive contact. Above-average or better bat speed. Has a one-handed follow through. Shows good bat-to-ball skills and gets the ball in the air when he makes good contact. Has a patient approach and should be able to avoid high strikeout totals. Grade: 50

Power: Shows average raw power during BP with room to grow as he physically matures. Has a rotational swing and has already gotten the ball in the air with regularity. His swing creates natural lift off the bat, which when paired with his bat speed and physical projection, indicates he has some untapped power potential. Grade: 50

Field: Moves well in the field. An instinctual player who takes good routes and has above-average footspeed; above-average range in CF. Grade: 50

Arm: Average arm strength with average carry. Mostly accurate in limited looks. Throws from a high 3/4 arm slot. Tool has some room to grow as he adds upper-body strength. Fits in CF and LF. Grade: 50

Run: Recorded above-average to plus times in the 60 as an amateur. Proved to be a stolen base threat in his minor league debut. No recent looks. Grade: 50

Overall: All of Matos' tools project as average or better, and he's one of the more exciting prospects in the Giants' system because of it. He knocked the cover off the ball in the DSL in 2019 and received positive reports from instructs in 2020. At this point, Matos is mostly projection beyond his bat-to-ball skills, but the ingredients are present for him to be a future regular or perhaps something more.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Martin

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 188 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Round 1
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: 6-foot, 188-pound frame. Average height, pretty solid build, lots of muscle throughout. Combination of muscle and above-average athleticism. Probably done developing physically.

Hit: Slightly open stance, pretty wide base with moderate bend in knees. Hands start near back shoulder with barrel tilt swaying from over his shoulder to pointing in the air. Body is on-line from head to feet, slight lean over the plate once he strides due to slightly open stance. Small stride towards pitcher. Pretty upward swing path due to front leg lockout. Present bat speed with thump in the bat. Uses back leg really well, driving down through contact. Could make additional contact if he moved forward through contact and did not lock out his front leg, more barrel time in the zone. Average if not slightly below average bat-to-ball skills. More pull heavy than anything else but still hits to all fields. Generally ground balls are all pull side, line drives are more pull side but some spray, and fly balls are a consistent spray. Below average strikeout rate and average walk rate. Sells out for power. Grade: 40

Power: Hits the ball really hard. Average or slightly below average bat-to-ball skills because he sells out for power. Bat path takes an upward swing plane creating loft. Generally has more home run power to the pull side but he is still able to hit home runs the opposite way. Would probably profile as a 20-25 home run guy in the Major Leagues. Might be better suited to aim for 10-15 home runs and make additional contact. Hits the ball extremely hard and runs decently, could rack up a ton of extra base hits. Grade: 55

Field: Currently a center fielder in the Minor Leagues but profiles better as a corner outfielder moving forward. Above-average athleticism and average speed make him an average defender and a passable center fielder. Average routes and jumps to balls as well as lateral movement. Grade: 50

Arm: Really strong arm from the outfield. Throws carry well and are fairly accurate. If he is destined for a corner spot, right field seems likely thanks to his arm strength. Could be a plus right fielder. Grade: 60

Run: Above-average runner as it currently stands. He is only 21 years old and is built well so it will most likely regress to an average point when he reaches the Major Leagues. Hustles out of the box on ground balls. Not a burner but doesn't dog it either. Grade: 50

Overall: Heliot Ramos has been a highly touted prospect ever since his selection in the first round of the 2017 draft. A lot to like from a tools perspective. Hits the ball extremely hard and has projectable power. His defensive and speed tools are good enough to pass in the Major Leagues but unspectacular. The main concern is his hit tool. His strikeout rate has always been below average and it got even worse once he reached Double-A in 2019. In fact, he struggled upon reaching Double-A but he still had an overall above-average offensive profile. If he cannot cut down on strikeouts, he will be a three-true outcome player who does not hit for substantial power and only an average walk rate with average defense. However, if he can cut down on strikeouts, he could be an all-star caliber player. The gap between the floor and ceiling all rest in his hit tool.

Apr 2021 Report

Evaluator: Jake Boes

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 238 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Round 1
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Sturdy, physical build; powerful upper body; broad shoulders, muscular arms, solid torso, wide hips, thick and strong thighs and legs. Built more like a first baseman than a catcher. Lumbering athlete with more finesse than twitch. No projection remaining. Build reminiscent of Todd Helton. Injury history includes a hand and thumb fracture.

Hit: Upright, open stance; slight bend to form a wide base. Quiet hands sit just under the ear. Stance closes at load; no stride. Plus bat speed from quick hands, strong arms, and leg engagement. Stiff top half exposes the bottom of the zone and spin. Aggressive approach within the zone; willing to expand when behind. A below-average tool padded by the ability to drive the ball Grade: 45

Power: Plus raw that shows above-average in-game. Upright stance and high finish yield natural loft with the stroke. Sprays extra-base hits all over, shows home run pop to right-center. Tool has reached projection. Grade: 55

Field: Confident, plus defender behind the plate; compact and flexible behind the plate considering size. Good mobility, average framer, quick and clean transfers. Trusts glove to pick balls in dirt too much at times; reliable and steady nevertheless. May need a position change later in career due to size. Grade: 60

Arm: Above-average arm; average strength but quick feet, clean transfers, and accuracy pad the overall grade. Pop times range in the 2.05-2.10 area. Throws lack significant carry; tend to sink to the bag on attempted steals, but throws are consistent to the bag. Grade: 55

Run: Average currently and figures to lose a step long-term; 4.3 home to first; above-average runner for a catcher currently. Not going to clog bases, but far from an asset. Not a base-stealing threat or likely to do little things to improve the tool in spite of shortcomings with speed. Grade: 40

Overall: Bart's offense, particularly his power, is what propelled him on draft boards in 2018, but his deft defense is what lowers his risk as a prospect and affords him a soft back-up floor. The concerns with the hit tool are real, but his work ethic and ability to hit for power should make even a .245-.255 average play up at the highest levels despite his free-swinging approach. There is little projection remaining, but even if he has reached his potential already, an everyday future remains more likely than not long-term.

Evaluator: Tyler Henninger

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 178 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Lean, wiry frame. Surprising strength. Long limbs with room for development. High waisted. Fair lower body muscular development. Has room to add weight and strength with continued development.

Hit: Open stance, hands at the head. Upright body with feet shoulder width apart. Plus bat speed on an upper cut path. Produces natural loft. Flyball approach, continues to improve launch angle. Mostly uses pull-side approach, could learn how to use the whole field better. Makes hard contact frequently. Patient hitter, shows ability to take a walk. Struggles slightly against advances pitching currently, especially with advanced spin. Needs to continue to improve plan at the plate. Bat speed and ability to make hard contact should allow him to hit at an above-average clip. Grade: 55

Power: Double-plus raw power, game power plays more plus. Produces a lot of loud contact due to strength and bat speed. Good lift for power, ball jumps off bat. Can hit them high and far. Possesses home run and gap power potential. Potential to add even more power with additional strength Grade: 60

Field: Solid defender with good actions. Solid hands, will get caught between hops occasionally. Shows instincts to make plays, high IQ. Flashes some quick twitch ability, but lacks speed to have advanced range. Below-average DP turn. Possibility to stay at SS with development, profiles better at 3B. Grade: 50

Arm: Strong arm with long release. On-line carry through the bag, most times on target. Struggles to throw on the run. Must stay on top, gets wild with lower arm angle. Below-average transfer, can get slow at times. Needs to improve ability to throw from multiple angles. Would be playable at 3B. Grade: 55

Run: Below-average runner. Gets out of the box decently, lacks burst and acceleration. Long strides. Can occasionally steal a base, gets caught too often though. Shows good instincts, can take an extra base. Speed impacts range up the middle, still playable. Grade: 40

Overall: Luciano's bat stands out, especially for someone his age. He shows plus bat speed with above-average bat to ball skills that lead to a lot of hard hit balls. His approach has continued to get better and it could improve even more. He shows the ability to walk, but is still susceptible to advanced spin. He might wind up a plus hitter, but can be confidently projected at least as an above-average hitter. He combines it with double-plus raw power that can launch balls high and far. His swing has natural loft that combines well with his strength and bat speed leading to a plus power profile. He is a below-average runner who shows good instincts but is not a threat to steal. Defensively, he shows good action with the potential to play SS if he has time to develop. He lacks the speed for a lot of range and struggles to throw on the run or from multiple angles. When under control, his arm plays as a plus tool with on-line carry and good accuracy. He could develop into an average defender at short, but due to the plus arm and lack of lateral speed he could also fit well over at 3B. His bat profiles for the position. Overall, Luciano looks like an above-average regular who can hit for average and power.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 162 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 IFA
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Tall athletic frame, high waisted with lots of room to add muscle. At this point present strength is lacking.

Hit: Good bat to ball skills, linear plane, most contact comes in the way of line drives and ground balls. Sets up closed off at plate showing his numbers to the pitcher. Slight leg lift trigger, quiet hands, above average bat speed. Patient approach at the plate will work the count. Some difficulty picking up spin. Lack of impact at the point of contact. Inside out approach that relies on above-average foot speed. Grade: 40

Power: Lack of present power, some projection remains that he can get to a below average power profile. At this point over-the-fence power is not part of Tovar's game. Grade: 30

Field: Strong athletic defender at shortstop. Quick first step and cat-like reflexes defensively. Good range, covers a lot of space on the left side of the dirt. Clean infield actions with smooth motions and clean hands. Flashy player at times showcasing his strong glove skills. There are no questions about whether or not Tovar can stick at shortstop long term. Grade: 60

Arm: Strong throwing arm with ability to make hard accurate throws. Shows zip and carry consistently from deep in the hole, hits his intended target with regularity and gets rid of the ball quickly. Grade: 55

Run: Above average run times that could slow as he matures, but should settle as an average runner long term. Shows strong instincts on the bases, stealing at a high success rate. Shows quickness in the field and agility moving laterally. Grade: 55

Overall: Below average hitter with supporting skills that may allow him to carve out a long term utility role if his offensive skills don't improve with time. One of the best infield defenders in the system and an asset on the base paths.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 9
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Tall muscular build, slightly above average height for a catcher, physically maxed out but in good physical condition.

Hit: Sets up square to the pitcher, slightly closed, quiet stroke, good angle on bat, minimal movement in the lower half. Average bat to ball skills and hand eye coordination. Some power at the point of contact that leads to a fair percentage of flyball and hard line drive contact. Heavy pull side approach. Looks to jump and turn on any fastball on the inner-half. Good zone hitter, needs to improve patience at the plate. Grade: 45

Power: Shows the ability to tap into power to his pull side and the reports from instructional ball have been strong. He puts the ball in the air with regularity and has continued to add in-game power over the last year plus. Good bat angle and plate coverage allow him to drive the ball to all fields. Grade: 50

Field: Converted to part time catching his junior season at Washington. Has continued to improve and the organization has heaped praise. Comfortable and athletic in crouch, pop times average or better, and his receiving has continued to make strides from below average early in 2019. Chance to develop into an average defensive catcher, needs to improve his game calling skills. Grade: 45

Arm: Average arm behind the plate, natural third baseman still improving his ability to catch and throw. Had around a 40% caught stealing rate in Low-A Asheville in 2019. Surprisingly high awareness behind the plate. Not scared to keep runners on their toes with accurate quick throws to first. Grade: 50

Run: Below average runner but does move well underway. Station to station for the most part but not the slowest guy on the field. Grade: 40

Overall: Improving overall profile and an underrated player in the system. Has a chance to carve out a role as a backup catcher at the major league level. Improving defense and enough bat that he can be a league average offensive producer at the catcher position. Needs to see continued development in the catch and throw part of the game. Continues to make strides at a demanding position.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 20 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 192 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2016 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Tall, lean, high waisted, and broad-shouldered, projectable frame, looks like he could add 10-15 pounds of good weight in the coming years as his body matures.

Delivery & Mechanics: Starts his full delivery from a wide stance with his hips open to the plate. Starts his motion, pronating his front leg, turning his hips, contracting into a moderate leg lift, before driving and delivering from a three-quarters arm slot. Gets around the ball on all of his pitches, leading to a lot of cut in his movement profile. Timing is an issue, arm lags at times, hips will fly open, will lose release point. Despite some timing issues, it's a fluid operation and his athleticism shows in how easily he finds velo. Incredibly fast worker, moving through at bats at a rapid fire pace. This trait almost certainly works to the determinant of his strike throwing.

Fastball: Has been up to 97 mph in the past from the left side, averaging 94.5 mph at 2020 instructs. He has an above-average release height at six feet and gets average extension on the pitch. His average spin is in the 2300-2350 range but it's inefficient and he doesn't get much rise on the pitch. He cuts it predominantly but will get some run on his best fastballs. It's double plus velocity for a left-handed starter and plus for left-handed reliever so the pitch will play despite below average movement. Improved command of the pitch is needed, it's around the zone but he consistently misses spots. Grade: 50

Curveball: Olivarez's best swing and miss pitch based on 2019's observation with Grand Junction. Sits 76-79 mph with the pitch, getting moderate vertical drop and some late horizontal break. Spin rates in the 2500-2600 rpm range, but there's a fair amount of gyro spin limiting his vertical dump. Controls it when he's on, tending to be around the zone. That however was not the norm as he was prone to bouts of poor command of the pitch. Grade: 50

Changeup: Good velocity separation between the changeup and fastball with an average velocity of 82-83 mph. Doesn't do a good job of selling the pitch, despite good velocity separation and a strong ability to kill lift. Below average but there's some room for growth into fringe-average. Grade: 40

Control and Command: Olivarez's control and command came and went during his first season stateside. Inconsistency of his strike throwing was the defining characteristic of his control and command profiles. When he's on he'll spot his fastball and curveball for strikes, driving swings and misses. When he's off he misses badly to all parts of the plate with all of his pitches. Control: 40 | Command: 30

Overall: An interesting arm in a system devoid of upside throwers. Plus velocity from the left side and the makings of a swing and miss pitch in his curveball. His changeup has some interesting elements, and projection but he has to improve his arm speed and deception on the pitch. Below average control and command overall hurts his ability to stick as a starter. However, there is one element of Olivarez's game that could easily be improved to boost his overall profile: Slow down. To watch Olivarez throw is a non-stop catch and throw session. His average pitch time was under 10 seconds in certain outings. If he could slow down to a moderate pace it might go a long way toward improving the profile. At present he looks like a fringe low-leverage reliever long term.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 190 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Tall, lean, high waisted, long levers, broad shoulders. Room to add some projection but not much. Major League ready body.

Delivery & Mechanics: Slight side-step to start mechanics, longer arm action, moderate leg lift and contraction, gets downhill and over frontside at release. Higher three-quarters arm action with lower release point. Falls off to first base side, struggles to repeat as he is often off balance at release. Leaks out early and will lose his release point and miss with his fastball.

Fastball: Sits 91-94 mph, touching 95-96 mph at peak, good velocity from a sub-six foot release point but an underwhelming movement profile. Lacks vertical and horizontal break, making it a truly straight fastball. He locates it more consistently in the upper quadrants than the lower and commands the pitch far better to his armside than gloveside. It's a pitch that worked versus collegiate and lower level hitters due to his velocity, but is less likely to fool the more advanced hitters of the upper levels. Mixes in a two-seam variation in a similar velocity band, but it's not that different from the four-seamer metrically or aesthetically. Grade: 40

Curveball: Variation of his slider with more vertical drop (-4 inches), with less velocity (77 mph avg) than his sweeper. Used against lefthanders, but will often bleed into his slider shape. Part of his repertoire and sequencing, but a clear step behind his other secondaries. Poor quality breaking ball, lacking the vertical drop to be effective as a swing and miss hammer. Grade: 30

Slider: Sweeper in the low-80s, average velocity of slightly above 81 mph with average spin rates in the 2500 rpm region. Minimal vertical movement with nearly a foot of sweeping break. Higher efficiency pitch, can miss bats, but is primarily a driver of weak contact, a fair amount that falls into the ground ball category. He'll deploy the pitch mostly against righthanders as it breaks away from the barrel. Prefering to utilize his changeup and curveball -- which is really a slider variation -- versus lefthanders. Below average command and fringe average control of the pitch, as with much of Feltner's arsenal he experiences bouts of losing complete control. Grade: 50

Changeup: Shows feel for the off-speed, supination profile, tilt slightly clockwise from his fastball. Inconsistent shape and infrequent use, but it is part of his plan of attack versus left handed batters. It lacks horizontal movement but he does a good job of killing lift and he sells the pitch with his arm speed. Good separation from fastball with an average velocity of 83-84 mph. His best swing and miss pitch. Despite some good elements it's still a third pitch he can lose feel for. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Borderline fringe-average control that doesn't consistently hold for large stretches. Feltner's lack of control and subsequent command leads to innings of hemorrhaging hard contact, balls, and runs. Feltner can be cruising and suddenly fall apart. His inability to repeat and his off balance follow through lead to strike throwing issues. The rub is he can go through the order once and look immaculate, locating his fastball to both sides of the plate and dashing sweepers across the plate. Then he loses any semblance of the zone. Control: 40 | Command: 30

Overall: There's enough here for a relief profile as a fringe major league pen guy, likely settles in as a high end up and down role type. His combination of fastball velocity, a changeup that can generate swings and misses when needed, and a sweepy ground ball inducing slider give him a starter's look, but his poor command is a non-starter for that role long term. Feltner likely profiles best as multi-inning reliever or long man at this point, but substantial growth with his control and command will be needed.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: John Calvagno

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Lavigne is long, broad shouldered and well put together. Stands 6-foot-4 220 pounds as listed and it looks accurate. He's close to maxed out physically but there may be room for an additional 5-10 pounds of good weight, particularly up top.

Hit: Moderate crouch, slightly open stance. Feet are shoulder width apart and the hands are above the shoulders. Pretty quiet in the box pre-pitch. He contracts and expands creating moderate load. The swing is on the long side and linear with above average bat speed. The ball comes off the bat pretty well when he squares it, which wasn't often. The bulk of the contact is down and to right center/left center. The approach is patient early in counts though I have seen him expand with two strikes, fishing for spin. Work to do with pitch recognition. Grade: 45

Power: Flashed substantial in game pop as an amateur and during his time in rookie ball. In game production came to a screeching halt in 2019. Posted a .091 ISO in Asheville in, and never looked fully comfortable at the plate. The raw power he shows in batting practice is plus but he's not set up to tap into it. Lavigne might be a candidate for a swing change, but his passivity at the plate sees him passing on pitches he could drive. Grade: 45

Field: An average first base profile, with clean receiving and the ability to stretch for outs. Right handed throwing isn't ideal for the position, and the body could get worse, but has handled first base well professionally. Grade: 50

Arm: Below average arm but shouldn't be stretched too thin at first base. Doesn't get much zip or on-line carry. Did play some third base and outfield in high school but max velocity throws were 77 mph. Grade: 30

Run: Big bodied station to station mover poor runner overall. Not an asset on the base paths. Grade: 30

Overall: I was excited to see Lavigne in the hitters haven that is Asheville in 2019. I observed Lavigne over 50 at bats that summer. He's big and imposing with above average bat speed and occasionally the ball would really explode off of his bat. Too often though it was soft grounders and liners, hence the .091 ISO. The raw tools are here to really impact a baseball but he'll have to do so consistently to make it as a first base only player. Swing change candidate with a heavily passive plate approach.

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 204 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2015 IFA
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Long, lanky, and athletic, body of a centerfielder with positive projection remaining in the frame. Should be able to add 10-15 lbs of muscle with little issue in the coming years.

Hit: Sets up square to the pitcher with slight bend in his knees, and probated front foot. Hands set by ear, closes off front side pre-load. Clean stroke, doesn't get significant drive from his lower half. Engages lower body with toe tap timing mechanism. Will swing early in counts, needs to work on approach at the plate. Raw bat to ball skills are above average, average bat speed, but poor pitch recognition leads to contact on the wrong pitches. Makes lots of weak flyball contact, best struck balls are screaming liners up the middle. Needs to add strength or improve potential inefficiencies in his swing. Grade: 45

Power: Good bat angle and optimized bat path leads to a high percentage of flyball contact. Lacks strength at point of contact to do damage at present. This lack of power leads to a lot of easy outs in the mid-outfield. The addition of strength or improved swing mechanics could boost this to an average grade in a year's time. Grade: 40

Field: Moves well in center, solidly average reads off of the bat. Has the makeup speed to handle the position and was sure handed across a dozen observations in 2019. Grade: 50

Arm: Fringe-average arm, enough to make the cut off throw but not a rifleman that will pick off runners at third from mid-centerfield. Grade: 45

Run: Home to first full effort in the 4.1 to 4.2 range. Shows the ability to cover ground in centerfield and has the makeup speed needed for the position. May lose a step as he adds muscle. Grade: 55

Overall: An average fielder and below average hitter with some projection remaining. There's a chance Montano adds strength and gets into his game power and pushes into a fringe everyday role. As currently constituted he's nestled between emergency depth and platoon outfielder. We'll lean the former until he can raise both his hit and power grades to average.

Evaluator: Isaiah Burrows

Age: 27 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 207 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2011 IFA
RuleV: On 40-man

Physical Description: Solid, compact frame. Good size to upper and lower half. Sturdy build with narrow torso. Shorter in height, but has strong arms and legs. Uses many components of his body within his swing.

Hit: Open right-handed stance. Legs and hips wide to the plate. Stands tall in the box. Notable left leg kick within his stance. Hands and shoulders stay connected throughout his swing. Above-average hit tool with solid contact to all fields. Stays back on the ball. Finds spots to sneak hits past infielders. Makes good contact on pitches high in the zone. Struggles low and away. Patient approach, waits for his pitch and attacks. Tendency to stay in the count, gets on base consistently. Grade: 55

Power: Well below-average power in his swing. Makes softer contact, doesn't barrel the ball for extra-base hits. Struggles to pull the ball for power. Fits the profile of a contact-oriented hitter. Very little power present, needs improvement. Grade: 30

Field: Above-average outfielder with strong arm and instincts. Makes good routes to the ball in center and right field. Makes up a good amount of ground with his speed. Noteworthy mental errors, doesn't play the ball correctly. Has the defensive prowess to stick in center or right field long term. Grade: 55

Arm: Powerful arm that zips past the outfield. Nabs baserunners from center and right field. Strong arm meets home plate on one or two hops. Good accuracy and velocity. Makes the necessary throws to keep baserunners from advancing. Sound mechanically with a quick arm gets online carryon throws to the infield. Grade: 60

Run: Above-average speed with quick bursts and acceleration. Runs well out of the box. Very aggressive base stealer, but lacks top-end speed. Uses his speed to makeup errors defensively. Must improve timing and discipline to make the most of his base-stealing ability. Grade: 55

Overall: Signing with the Rockies as an international free agent in 2010, Daza made his big league debut last season in large part to his speed and defensive ability. He has a strong arm and good instincts to play right or center field, but his bat lacks hard contact and power. Has the tools to play a bench role but nothing more. Lacks power to make an impact or elite defensive skills to be a true fourth outfielder, defensive replacement. An up and down profile.

Nov 2020 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-1
Weight: 235 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2016 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: Eligible

Physical Description: Average height with strength throughout build. Not an athletic build, lacks projection, even improved conditioning would likely only lead to moderate gains. Bulky upper body, barrel chested, long term first base body.

Hit: Above average bat to ball contact, with line drive focused path. Open setup, up on front toe, hands set by ear flap, trigger starts from high leg lift timing mechanism. Swing is somewhat long but he does get excellent extension, hips fire slightly late, pushing a lot of contact to the middle-oppo side. His contact ability is boosted by his steep vertical bat angle at the point of contact, which keeps his launch angle variance tight. This characteristic is one of the reasons Welker has continued to run high contact rates at every stop (2017: 83.5% 2018: 77.3% 2019: 80.7%). Fringe average approach and pitch selection skills, is an aggressive swinger, but the swing and miss is offset by his strong contact skills. Grade: 55

Power: Fringe average power. Doesn't produce much lift and best contact is line drives stung up the middle. Exit velocities sit around league average, but lacks high max velocities. Slugging numbers are mostly boosted by lots of hard doubles to the gap and down the line. Likely will top out at mid-teen home run power with a fair amount of doubles. Grade: 45

Field: Below average defender at third base due to lack of lateral quickness. Lacks sufficient range for the position, despite clean infield actions and good hands. Has an outside shot at moving to second base long term with a shift happy club, but likely moves to first base full time. Average at the first base position, moves well enough around the bag with clean stretches. Grade: 40

Arm: Above average throwing arm, makes all the needed throws at third base. Accuracy is inconsistent on rushed throws. Mechanically sound, generates the needed carry. Grade: 55

Run: Well below average to poor runner, lacks quickness out of the box and is station to station on the bases. Speed is not part of Welker's game. Grade: 30

Overall: An interesting bat but a player with limitations that drag down the overall profile. Perhaps Welker carves out a niche as a second division regular at first base, but his lack of power typical for the position gives me pause. He hits left handed pitching slightly better than right handed and has shown he can hit for impact in left on right matchups. He lacks the defensive chops to project long term at any position outside first base and is already rule five eligible. His most likely outcome is a part time platoon role with an outside shot to carve out an everyday role at first base, particularly if he's able to add loft and generate harder flyball contact.

Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 218 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2014 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: On 40-man

Physical Description: Tall and sturdy right-hander on the mound. Has good size and length. Strong upper half, broad shoulders. Long arms and legs. Fairly solid build. Near full maturity, limited room for growth and muscle. Uses his lower half well in his delivery.

Delivery & Mechanics: Standard three-quarter slot delivery from the right side. Good mechanics and arm action. Simple and repeatable. Slow and methodical windup, glove reaches the top of his head before the pitch. Lower half incorporated in delivery.

Fastball: Low-to-mid 90s fastball with good late life. Has some sinking action low in the zone, creates soft contact. Sits 91-95 mph, has touched 95 mph on occasion. Gets nearly 11 inches of horizontal run in his four-seam. Above average spin in the 2350 rpm zone. Will get swings and miss on the pitch with consistency to right handed batters. Lands well to his armside. Grade: 50

Curveball: Low-80s pitch that needs improvement. Not thrown as much to his slider. Shows solid depth, but lacks consistency. Stays high and flat, gets barreled in the zone. Needs more reps and 12-6 movement for improvement. Grade: 40

Slider: Mid-80s offering with solid break and horizontal movement. Good tunneling to hide his fastball. Late break against righties/lefties. Forces whiffs and late swings. Gyro spin with average spin rates in the 2500-2600 rpm range. Go-to off-speed pitch, throws it with confidence. Above-average pitch with good velocity and break. Grade: 55

Changeup: Mid-80s changeup that needs development. Lacks fade and tumble. Stays firm, hangs in the zone. Rarely thrown last season. Good velocity when thrown, but lacks late movement. Additional reps could help development into fourth pitch. Grade: 50

Control and Command: Has shown above-average control with solid mechanics and consistency to find the zone. Spots his sinking fastball low and inside for called strikes. Uses his slider as an effective strikeout pitch. Rarely issues walks, stays in the count. Tendency to leave pitches towards the middle of the plate, and struggled with command overall. Lacks overpowering velocity, but places his pitches well. Control: 50 | Command: 40

Overall: A second round pick by Colorado in 2014, Ryan Castellini showed signs of consistent improvement during his big league debut last season. His fastball lacks elite velocity, but has good late sinking action to force soft contact. He complements it with a slider that has good depth and break. His changeup and curveball need improvement, but his above-average command masks his lack of raw stuff. With continued development, Castellini can be a potential back-of-the rotation starter.
