Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Tyler Jennings

Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-5
Weight: 230 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: On 40-man

Physical Description: Strong, tall frame at 6'5, 230 pounds. Very minimal projection remaining, but has an ideal pitchers body. Waist is high, limbs are long. Movements are fluid and body is athletic.

Delivery & Mechanics: Throws from a low three-quarters arm slot, starts on first base side of rubber. Delivery includes effort, with a lengthy arm action and relatively high leg kick from the windup. Crossfire delivery, creating tough at-bats for right-handed hitters. Despite longer arm action, the arm itself is very quick and a tad deceptive. Mechanics mirror fellow Red Sox starter Chris Sale, but with the opposite throwing arm. Has struggled with maintaining mechanics throughout starts.

Fastball: Houck throws two fastballs, a four-seam and a two-seam. Four-seamer will sit in the mid-90's and he has touched 98 MPH in the past, but the main issue with the pitch is that it is pretty straight and flat, causing it to be hit hard. He likes to locate the pitch up in the zone. The two-seamer is the better of the two pitches, with good arm-side run and sink. The pitch sits more in the lower-90's and will rely on the pitch more the farther he goes into an outing. Both offerings are low-spin, averaging around the 2,000-2,100 RPM mark. Needs to work on fastball command in the future. Grade: 55

Slider: Pitch sits in the mid-80's with serious sweeping action. Spin rate is not enormously high, averaging 2,400-2,500 RPM in 2020. Very confident in throwing to both left-handed and right-handed hitters, drawing some bad swings along the way. Has a good chance to be a legitimate, bat missing offering in his repertoire. Best offering that he brings to the table. Grade: 60

Splitter: Ditched change-up for a splitter grip in 2020. Shows late downward action, but the pitch is inconsistent. Could become a very good weapon against left-handed hitters, but development of the pitch is key for that to happen Grade: 45

Control and Command: Due to the moving parts in his delivery, his control/command is relatively spotty and can be inconsistent. Will need to refine moving forward if he wants to avoid a demotion to the bullpen. Control: 45 | Command: 45

Overall: Certainly has a solid fastball/slider combination to get outs, but lack of third pitch right now makes it tough for him to remain in the rotation long term. With further development of the splitter, chances that he sticks in the backend of the rotation are higher. If he becomes a bullpen piece, likely will be a high leverage arm to rely on.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Geoff Pontes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - CBA, CIN
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: An athletic 5-feet 11-inches, mature build, not much projection remaining. Lean muscle, strong throughout, muscular lower half. Strong forearms and broad shoulders, body will need some maintenance as he ages.

Hit: Sets up at plate with open stance up on front toe, moderate leg lift timing mechanism and triggers hands. Quick load, sets up with hands by ear, drops quickly, doing a good job of keeping hands inside early, and extending upon contact. Pairs strong pitch recognition with hitter mentality, working deep into counts but avoiding passivity within his approach. Still prone to swing and miss, as a steep angular bat path leads to whiffs against velocity elevated. Heavy pull-middle approach, with a knack for hard, flyball contact to his pullside. Above average contact skills, strong pitch recognition, and approach should translate to above average hit tool, with outside chance for plus at maturation. Grade: 55

Power: Steep bat angle and quick compact swing allow Downs to tap into pull-side power with regularity, getting backspin on balls with ease. His hardest contact and a majority of his future home runs will come to his pull-side almost exclusively. Will drive balls to the gaps to the opposite field on occasion. Should see power production translate to high teen to low 20 home run power at peak with a high number of doubles, particularly as a right handed dead pull hitter in Fenway park. Grade: 55

Field: Quick first step, and strong lateral movement, will make aggressive plays on balls coming in but rarely gets caught off balance on scoop and throws. Hands and actions clean enough for shortstop, but lacks the desired arm strength to stick there long term. Good enough instincts to move around the infield, or cover an outfield spot in a pinch. Grade: 50

Arm: Below average arm, strong enough to work at second base but suboptimal throwing strength for shortstop. Makes accurate throws on the turn and should have the zip to make all the needed throws at the keystone. Grade: 45

Run: Posts surprisingly average run times for a player with high stolen base totals professionally. Is more instinctual runner than burner. Won't be the same stolen base threat at the major league level he has been in the minors. Likely 10-13 steals annually early on in his career with that slowing down over time as Downs matures. Grade: 55

Overall: A strong overall profile with strengths on both sides of the ball. It would be easy to call Downs a bat first second baseman with his strong mix of approach, contact, and power, but he brings a slick glove and heady base running to the table, positioning himself squarely in above average role territory.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jason Kamlowsky

Age: 25 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Impressive physical stature. Long and thick lower half that has already filled out giving him plenty of strength in his legs. Good looking upper body with plenty of muscle down through his forearms. Could take on some extra weight although it is not a necessity to be effective. Sturdy righty whose body is built to eat innings at the big-league level. Wouldn't look out of place on a Major League mound.

Delivery & Mechanics: No nonsense approach and repeatable delivery. Gets right to work attacking hitters. Slight side step off the first base side of the rubber with the hands starting at the chest and working down to the waste then back to the chest. Minimal effort through the balance point. Balance point out of the windup is place of strength and allows him to get tremendous drive off his back leg. Long, overhand delivery with enough deception to keep hitters honest. Gets consistent full extension through the pitch and follow-through. Can fall off to the first base side. Athletic enough to recover on bunts and slow rollers.

Fastball: Has a four-seam fastball that explodes out of his hand. Touches 99 but sits consistently around 93-96. Good glove side run. Uses it to get ahead early in the count and gets bonus points for movement. Command is plus and throws it to all four quadrants. Does need to harness it early in games. Elevates in the zone which may present an issue. Has no fear of coming inside on hitters. Overall potential plus pitch. Grade: 60

Curveball: 77-80 MPH show me pitch. Much different look than the slider with more traditional loop. More confident throwing to lefties. Development of this pitch could be the difference between him being a high-floor SP3 or a back-end starter. Grade: 45

Slider: 88-89 MPH with hard, tight spin. Breaks like a cutter and he uses it effectively against righties and lefties. Can generate swings and misses and is already a put-away offering. Command can be spotty at times although it gets better later in games. Seems to get a better feel in the middle innings. Projects as an above-average offering. Grade: 55

Changeup: 84-88 MPH work in progress. Velo isn't a concern relative to his fastball. Shows some late movement but not enough to warrant more than an average offering at present. When he gets on top of it, he is much more effective. Will need to improve consistency. Grade: 45

Control and Command: Fills up the zone and gets right to work. Made vast improvements in pitchability and sequencing in 2019. Flashed above average on secondary pitches. Needs more consistency, although the slider is coming along nicely. Fastball command is already above average. Sometimes tends to push his changeup and will need to work better down in the zone. Mound presence is among the best in the Orioles system. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: I will try and temper my enthusiasm here but Baumann could be the SP3 Robin to DL Hall and Grayson Rodriguez's Batman for years to come. He broke out in 2019 pitching effectively across two levels. Threw a no-hitter for Bowie and had a stretch of 27 innings in AA where he gave up just one run. There is some concern he may be better in a relief role so he can let his stuff fly like a bull coming out of the chute. Fastball velocity holds late into games and gives me a lot of optimism that he can hit his ceiling as a starter, however. One of the fastest risers in a very good system for pitching. Should make his Baltimore debut sometime in 2021. Mid-rotation upside, with back of the rotation SP a more realistic ceiling.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jason Kamlowsky

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 195 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Medium build but looks to be heavier than 190. Not the prototypical pitcher's body but has off-the-charts athleticism. Can drunk a basketball flat-footed and is one of the best pure athletes in the entire system. Has added weight, especially in his core, and could stand to add more. Fluid and smooth body movements.

Delivery & Mechanics: Athletic delivery. Starts on third-base side of the rubber. Slight rocker step with a high leg kick at the balance point. More repeatable from the windup than the stretch. 3/4 arm slot with loose, quick arm. Sometimes has arm lag instead of getting out in front. Tremendous leg drive. Has made adjustments from rushing his front side through and collapsing the backside, unlocking more velocity. Has tendency to pitch uphill out of the stretch getting a little crouch before separating his hands. Needs to consistently generate a downhill plane.

Fastball: Live arm. Throws an easy 97 and sits 93-96. Reports are that he has touched 99 at the Orioles instructional camp. Gets some late run which gradually increases later in the game. Pitches to both sides of the plate. Arm lag and inconsistency out of the stretch allows fastball to sail. Potential plus pitch. Grade: 60

Curveball: 75-79 MPH with 2/7 shape. Can be devastating, especially on lefties. Already shown ability to drop it into the zone. Will throw it in any count or situation. Potential out-pitch that has flashed plus. If the slider is for real, the curve will pair with it as a terrific secondary combo. Grade: 55

Slider: 86-88 MPH, touching 90 at instructs. Has passed the curveball as his best secondary offering. Hasn't thrown it much in live games but has been unhittable in instructs. Could be the big-time weapon that turns him into an ace. Grade: 55

Changeup: 83-85 with consistent arm action to fool hitters. Gets above average late fade. Command comes and goes. Will need to mix it more to be truly effective. Grade: 50

Control and Command: Command of the fastball is solid for his age. Works the lower half of the strike zone well. Curveball command flashes average when arm slot is maintained. In my live looks he already knew how to set hitters up. Sequencing is coming along. Changeup command needs significant work. Will go outside, inside, and then drop a curveball making him one of the top left-handed pitching prospects in baseball. Control: 55 | Command: 45

Overall: The raw stuff is outstanding and when combined with the elite athleticism there is a lot to get excited about. The Orioles got a steal with Hall dropping to 21st overall in 2017 and the new front office has done wonders for him. The projectability here is off the charts and he has already shown that he loves the big stage in getting a 1-2-3 inning in the 2019 Futures Game. If the slider is as good as it has been advertised to be in instructs, Hall could have some of the nastiest stuff in all of baseball. Overall there's legitimate impact level mid-rotation upside here.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Eric Garfield

Age: 21 yr
Height: 6-5
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 1
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Tall, long limbed righty. High torso. Athletic build still maturing. Effective weight added throughout pro career. Shoulders are broad, square. Chest is developed. Strong, athletic legs with room for more muscle near torso. Huge hands with long fingers. Straight, tall posture athletically on the mound. Competitive, commanding mound presence.

Delivery & Mechanics: High 3/4 almost over-the-top slot with moderate effort in the delivery. Short strider but decent extension and good arm speed. Limb length contributes to moving parts during delivery. Legs seem to hinge several times throughout motion. Hands held high, they're joined and torqued down then up together in the windup creating a hop effect into the motion. Pro career has included shaving rough edges off raw HS delivery while dominating hitters.

Fastball: Sits 93-97 t98; average velo 95 with explosive late life. Velocity has ticked up incrementally as a pro. Shows confidence throwing it in any count. Heavy bore low in the zone; decent run elsewhere; willing to elevate it to finish off hitters. Late explosion into the mitt increases a heavier feel. Places well on perimeter of zone; command average and improving. Grade: 60

Curveball: Sits 74-79. Inconsistent but improving. Shows desired velocity, tight rotation and 11/5 break at its best. Primarily a spike pitch buried low in the zone. Less optimal ineffective cement mixers and hangers occasionally come in around 74-76. Can be located well at times and end plenty of ABs. Will clean up with more success against advanced hitters. Flashes average enough to keep me optimistic. Grade: 50

Slider: Sits 84-88. Highly effective to RHB influencing weak contact, good K rates. Breaks tight and sharp; short with slight, floating motion like a cutter. Shows longer two-plane horizontal breaker with darting action at lower velo band. Developing pitch that's seen significant gains. Grade: 55

Changeup: Sits 78-82. Previously a low usage pitch that has now become a potential weapon. Significantly improved, the change is a byproduct of pro instruction and technology. Flat pitch that's firm with contrast movement; works well off the high spin heat. His ability to control, pull the string and influence tumble very high. If he's able to repeat fastball arm speed, and gain consistency the ceiling only increases. Grade: 55

Control and Command: Improving part of an ace repertoire, Grayson has showed both throughout his pro career. A stuff monster with a projectable frame, Rodriguez shows flashes of above-average control and solid average command. Control: 55 | Command: 50

Overall: Drafted as a prep arm, Rodriguez has already experienced massive physical gains, losing baby fat and maturing into a long, lean flamethrower. Tasting success at the lower levels wasn't enough as he added and then began to perfect and further develop his secondary offerings. Lots of hope and faith for the organization's pitching future hinges on Rodriguez rescuing expectations. Despite being aware of this, his attitude and focus are uncommonly forward focused. Frontline rotation upside, with realistic #3 SP future potential. The Orioles don't usually have prospects like this. I see innings, strikeouts and wins in his near future with no need to rush his already increasing progress.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Eric Garfield

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 14
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Slender, sprinter/cyclist build. Lower body springy, bouncy and powerful in strides. Upper body lithe, room to build significant muscle mass in chest, shoulders, arms. Longer-legged. Fluid in movements. Core strength, power into movements belies frame size. Longer fingers, average hand size. Explosive calves. Excelled in multiple sports. Father was an Olympic track athlete and sister competed in track on international level.

Hit: Stance is bent back in a coiled position. Front leg is planted on an angle as it prepares for a short stride. Back leg bent as power to swing is provided off a tight, compact hip thrust. Back elbow pointed at the umpire's mask as bat rests above the shoulder by an inch or two, the swing motion is efficient after a bit of a backswing to put it into motion. Length/angle built much more for line drives than loft. Hands/wrists control bat in a natural, field covering opposite field stroke. Contact ability and eyes are adequate. Grade: 40

Power: Tracks fly balls well. Seeing ball off bat, first step timing present an interesting outfield specimen. Speed to get to any ball regardless of positioning. Strides near perfect to get to landing spot. Feel for warning track, long flies while backtracking seems veteran. Can jump, slide, dive. Solid job of converting natural athleticism to the field. Shaving off minimal wasted motion could show an advanced, rhythmic CF with range. Grade: 30

Field: Tracks fly balls well. Seeing ball off bat, first step timing present an interesting outfield specimen. Speed to get to any ball regardless of positioning. Strides near perfect to get to landing spot. Feel for warning track, long flies while backtracking seems veteran. Can jump, slide, dive. Solid job of converting natural athleticism to the field. Shaving off minimal wasted motion could show an advanced, rhythmic CF with range. Grade: 55

Arm: Better than expected. Accurate. Steam to hit targets from warning track in air/one bounce and have glove sound indicate sizzle. Puts legs and lower body behind the motion and gets all of body into release. Throws with effort. Grade: 50

Run: Impact tool; impressive double-plus speed. Quick out of the box into sprinting position. Gets up to a high top speed in a stride and a half. His speed is more of a weapon than an asset. Ideal for an extra inning, runner on 2nd situation. Grade: 70

Overall: Rare, athletic combo of unique skills and bloodlines present an elite level mover between the lines. Janvrin could not be thrown out or even kept in check by GCL backstops in year one. He will likely never develop into consistent power; and hit tool projection will be tested as he climbs the ladder. He'll have to prove he can hit at every stop, but his sound defense and game changing speed are enough tools to keep him a shot to exceed a future that's likely capped in the upper minors.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 22 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Medium frame. Sturdy compact athletic build. Above-average athleticism; average strength for position. Baseball rat. Impressive leadership and work ethic. Physically mature.

Hit: Open stance that squares on load; hands high at the ear; busy active hands pre-load; upright stance with a slight crouch and wide base. Leg kick timing mechanism opens body up to clear hips on load; chokes up and shortens to a small stride or toe tap when behind in the count. Circular path to and through the ball with a two handed finish; average bat speed. Patient but often over-passive approach. Shows the ability to grind out at-bats, take his fare share of free passes and is tough to strikeout. Struggles against above-average or better velocity and secondaries. Ingredients and potential of a fringe-average hit tool, but approach and deficiencies make a below-average outcome more likely. Grade: 40

Power: Flashes fringe-average raw in BP, rare over-the-fence pop is predominately to the pull side. Contact oriented, all fields line drive approach. Has enough raw to turn on the occasional mistake, but extra-base power is limited to when the ball finds a gap or is hit into a corner. Grade: 30

Field: Above-average defender. Smooth fluid actions. Moderate range that plays up due to good instincts. Efficiently sound footwork; quick first step; strong pivot skills; average hands; smooth quick transfers. Makes good reads; anticipates hops well; moves well to both sides and handles difficult plays okay. Capable defender anywhere on the infield dirt. Not flashy, but an adequate defender with consistent execution. Grade: 55

Arm: Gets the job done. Clean arm actions and solid mechanics yield above-average arm-strength that's passable at short. Decent accuracy with crisp velocity and optimal carry. Has enough arm to throw over-the-top across the diamond with steam from deep in the hole. Grade: 55

Run: Above-average runner; consistent 4.23 - 4.26 clocks down the line. Gets up to speed quickly and runs the bases well with solid instincts. Grade: 55

Overall: Potential glove first, big league utility type if the bat exceeds modest expectations and the stars align. More realistically a solid emergency depth piece that provides value to Baltimore's high minors affiliates.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Eric Garfield

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 205 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 21
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Above average height. Thick build, especially upper body. Broad, straight shoulders. Longer legged. Higher torso. Barrel chested with big hands. Wide, long developed forearms. Athleticism is adequate. Cornerman build. Not much room for more mass. Body change since draft included losing less than 10 lbs body fat, adding core strength, increasing flexibility.

Hit: Stance is crouched, height is negotiated. Closed stance. High hands, Length in swing. Path to ball is clean despite length. Plate coverage stands out. Timing mechanism (front knee/toe) can seem exaggerated. Ability to meet pitches at apex is adequate, but ability to drive them when he does is above-average. Swing plane is slightest of uppercuts. Grade: 40

Power: Present ability to drive ball over fence with ease. Power could even increase as strike zone judgement/corresponding confidence develop. Build portends high HR/AB totals. Improved ability to drive the ball, perform in situations already. Longest/hardest hit/highest balls are pulled to LF/LCF. Grade: 50

Field: Made great and necessary strides in pre-pitch positioning and reaction in first year. Transfer skills and feet adequate for third. Soft hands, good fielding posture are consistent. Barehanding, throwing off-balance, lining up body to target specific areas of need addressed successfully. Grade: 50

Arm: Strength across diamond more than adequate. Accuracy across diamond dependent on positioning. can get stiff/high. Ability to make quick plays and speed up throws, throw from the hole. Grade: 55

Run: Out of the box, base to base and top speed all average. Strides long, can steal. Speed is more a surprising part than a reliable piece. Grade: 50

Overall: For a late round pick from a division 3 school (Penn State-Berks) it may appear that he's already beat the odds. Being open to coaching and learning every cage session is his reputation so he's probably going to be bringing his power bat to higher levels of the system. A little bit of slimming down has helped his game and athletic ability and he looks like he could be a scouting find that has already begun to bloom. Seeing him against higher levels of pitching has to be a priority.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Eric Garfield

Age: 19 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 160 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2018 IFA, BOS
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Slender, athletic sinewy frame. Room to add significant weight/mass/muscle throughout chest, shoulders, back as maturity occurs. Longer arms/legs. Arm length stands out. Core strength not adequate. Bouncy, high energy mover on the field who has yet to transition fully from young man to man. Quick, efficient hands and wrists.

Hit: Waits in a coiled yet upright closed stance, knee bend slight. Hands held back and high close to the right earhole of his helmet. Advanced hand speed through hitting zone shows little reach/wasted motion. Consistently meets ball with barrel. Swing plane lacks finish/uppercut. Extension/plate coverage shows potential for advanced skill set due to arm length. Grade: 50

Power: Strength is an issue currently. 15 XBH in his first 220 AB as a teenager with little muscle including 3 HR. Offensive skill set not power dependent, currently built for contact with room to grow. Reports include optimism on raw and potential for in-game warning track pop. Grade: 40

Field: Instinctive fielder who shows a great first step. Tracking skills also advanced. Rarely takes a bad step. Routes are clean. Fundamental receiver who circles ball, gets to landing spots on time. Athletic strider. Pace, acceleration, finding ball in air seems like a veteran. A quality defender at a very early phase of development. Grade: 50

Arm: Reports vary. Puts body behind throws naturally. Average arm strength, accuracy. Fundamental thrower who can improve with more strength and practice. Glove ahead of arm. Grade: 45

Run: Above-average at all aspects of running. High top speed. Excellent burst out of the box. Shift from batter to runner is compact, fluid. Low, aggressive when sliding. Hits base with force. Picks spots to run intelligently. Potential for double digit SB total. Grade: 55

Overall: Long way to go but lots of positives already. Athletic and defensively skilled as an older teen, some physical changes and offensive development could turn him into a riser before age 21/22, not a bad return for a trade deadline Andrew Cashner. Translates his natural ability to accelerate and put power into his baseball movements to the field with ease. Toolsy and far from finished all the way around but talent has scouts on notice. A solid lotto ticket worth keeping an eye on.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 170 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 5
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Tall athletic body; lean and strong. High waist; long limbs; square shoulders that slope; thick strong lower half. Impressive instincts and quick twitch athleticism. Moderate projection remaining, room to fill out in chest, shoulders and overall strength. Missed entire '18 season with labrum tear in his throwing shoulder.

Hit: Square stance; hands high at the ear; noisy setup; busy active hand load; crouched from a super wide base. Modest toe-tap trigger. Slightly above-average bat speed. Quick from the trigger to the contact point; not much drive or torque; swing is more hands than bottom half. Shows discipline; appears more passive than patient; handles velocity; ok at reading spin; will get caught looking at the above-average or better secondary offerings. Currently a well below-average hitter, Sparks has the ingredients of a potential fringe-average hitter. Grade: 45

Power: Fringe-average raw in BP, with potential for more pop if his body fills out. Line-drive oriented stroke; doesn't lift the ball much; line drives have lots of top spin and don't carry; power can play from gap-to-gap as doubles variety. Hit tool deficiencies and current lack of strength and swing plane significantly limit over-the-fence power. Speed and instincts on the bases should pad extra base totals. Grade: 30

Field: Above-average defender. Enough speed and defensive prowess to man CF. Gets good jumps and takes solid efficient routes; speed mitigates mistakes. Grade: 55

Arm: An impact plus tool on draft day, an unfortunate labrum tear has sapped the overall arm strength to solid average at present. Long and loose arm action; fluid release; sets feet when throwing to get momentum behind the ball; throws on a line with optimal carry. No longer a weapon but solid average. Grade: 50

Run: Impact tool. Borderline double-plus straight line speed. Quick out of the box; reaches near top speed swiftly and accelerates on the turn at first; kicks it into another gear on the bases. Wheels will turn singles into some doubles. Aggressive base stealer; immaturity can run into outs at times. Grade: 60

Overall: Drafted as a tooled up prep developmental piece back in 2017, Sparks has logged just 78 pro games thanks largely in part to a torn labrum that cost him the entire '18 season. The cancellation of the '20 season did Sparks no favors either as he's Rule V eligible after next season and has yet to escape complex league rookie ball. The defensive profile and speed are solid enough to keep him in the conversation, Sparks literally just needs to stay healthy, fill out and refine his swing. An intriguing lotto ticket with pop-up potential, Sparks is worth keeping an eye on next season.

Evaluator: Eric Garfield

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 220 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 UDFA
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Average height. Well built, muscular yet athletic frame with thick, powerful legs and arms. Large hands and forearms. Ample hip, chest, stronger back, backside.

Hit: Back leg bent more than front, hands held flat and low across back shoulder. Stance upright, forward focused. Timing skills consistent and hand-to-ball quickness more than adequate. Follow through created by hip turn is smooth, strong, straight. Plate coverage adequate, prefers inside. Not rushed or intimidated at plate. Will walk. Line drive hitter to all fields. Grade: 45

Power: Strong enough to reach fences with ease. Base built for power, swing built for singles and long doubles. Reasonable to expect 15-18 HR/25+ Doubles. More of a run producer w/ good eye than HR hitter. Grade: 40

Field: Element of his game that shines with consistency. Excellent backstop and hands. Quick, purposeful pop-ups. Very very strong throwing arm. Low, accurate, glove-side throws with consistency. Called and framed at a high level. Loud communicator. Leadership skills. Grade: 55

Arm: Strong, accurate to the base consistently. Gets legs and lower body behind ball efficiently. Little wasted motion in rise. Overhand and low from a consistent release point. Note: GCL offenses stole at will against most catchers on most teams; he nailed 6-14 runners. Grade: 55

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 170 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2018 Draft - Round 8, ATL
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Tall lanky frame with long limbs. Short midsection and some projectability left in his overall frame. Potential to add good mass.

Hit: High contact profile is his calling card. Solid near average hit tool based on his ability to consistently make contact at high rates, albeit often with minimal impact. High load swing with quick hands allow him to get the barrel to the ball in all quadrants of the zone. Aggressive approach with high contact ability will limit both walks and strikeouts. Grade: 45

Power: Below-average power. Swing mechanics are geared towards high contact throughout the zone, but without much lower half involvement. Lack of mass limits the raw power and his overall plate approach limits the game power. Some projectability depending on physical development but would likely always be more gap-to-gap than over-the-fence power. Grade: 40

Field: Plus defender with unconventional mechanics. Stiff in the hips and core when moving laterally, but plus instincts and long limbs allow him to make all the plays at shortstop. Has a tendency to speed himself up and make the occasional mistake, but plus hands and instincts mitigate the effect of most mistakes. Grade: 60

Arm: Above-average arm that can make all throws from deep shortstop or third base. Can erase with the rare defensive mistake with the effectiveness of his arm. Weird throwing mechanics due to long limbs and lanky build, but doesn't affect his accuracy. Grade: 55

Run: Average to above-average runner based on physical tools. Long, awkward strides on the basepaths. Good speed aids his range defensively and good base-running instincts can produce some consistent double digit stolen base seasons. Grade: 50

Overall: Double-plus makeup shortstop whose ultimate profile will be determined by his ability to hit. High work ethic and drive to improve, and plus baseball instincts from his former major league father Tony Graffanino Most likely outcome is a plus defensive infielder with a below-average bat. Plenty of offensive projection left, and has already added some mass to his frame since the last time he played in a game environment. In all cases he is likely to be ineffective in terms of power.

Age: 25 yr
Height: 5-8
Weight: 180 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 2, LAD
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Diminutive middle infielder with some mass. Maxed out frame, thicker in the lower half.

Hit: Compact swing with a distinct uppercut bat path in all approaches. Open stance, hands start slightly above the letters. High leg kick for timing contributes to a heavy pull tendency. Swing has lots of moving parts, but he shows the ability to consistently get the barrel through the zone. Swing and miss issues are present. Controls the zone well with good plate discipline. Hit tool will play about average. Grade: 50

Power: Above average raw power for his frame. Uppercut swing and heavy pull tendency limits his ability to use his power to all fields. More game power against left handed pitching. Grade: 45

Field: Utility infielder with above average speed. Good first step and instincts allow him to make the majority of routine plays in the middle infield and some at the hot corner. Good speed bolsters range in the middle infield. Grade: 45

Arm: Short, compact throwing mechanics contribute to a strong but inconsistent arm. Can make all throws from the middle infield and the routine plays at third base. Accuracy concerns likely limit him to 2B or SS long term. Grade: 45

Run: Above-average speed with a short stride on the base paths. Good twitchy acceleration with a maxed out, short frame. Base-running instincts are lacking, but will likely be an above average runner on physical tools alone. Grade: 55

Overall: A small utility infielder with good physical tools. Surprising power from a small frame will make him a useful bat off the bench against left-handed pitching in situations where his defensive versatility doesn't afford him a spot in the everyday lineup. Swing and miss issues limit his ability to get to his raw power in game situations but above average plate discipline will carry an average hit tool.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 24 yr
Height: 5-11
Weight: 185 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Draft - Round 4
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Short and stocky. Medium frame. Sturdy, well proportioned build. Sloping muscular shoulders; strong core; thick strong lower half. Noticeable upper body strength and big strong forearms. Quick-twitch athleticism. Limited physical projection remains.

Hit: Square stance; hands above the letters; upright stance with a slight crouch and wide base. Toe tap timing mechanism during load. Quick, strong hands generate solid average bat speed. Short compact swing; quick to the ball. Linear bat path with modest loft. Has pitch recognition and knowledge of the zone; consistently walks at an above-average or better clip, padding the overall hit tool value. Patient not passive line drive approach; waits for something he can drive. Lacks discipline: below-average strikeout rates; exposed by above-average velocity and average or better secondaries. Potential fringe-average tool that's likely settles below-average. Hit tool will ultimately determine big league future and role. Grade: 40

Power: Fringe-average raw in BP. Approach and bat path limits over-the-fence power potential. Essentially a line drive machine that can pepper the gaps with well struck balls when he's hot. A slap and dash guy whose wheels should help him pad extra-base stats. Hit tool deficiencies likely sap overall in-game power production. Grade: 30

Field: Above-average defender. Reads the ball well off the bat. Solid routes to the ball. Athleticism, instincts and double-plus speed help mitigate occasional mistakes. Covers plenty of ground; great at tracking balls to both sides and retreating back towards the wall. Occasionally tested and beat coming in on balls. Overall a solid and capable above-average defender. Grade: 55

Arm: Fringe-average velocity. Shows optimal carry but lacks consistency. Probably stretched in RF but solid enough to hand in a pinch. Sound fundamentals on tag-ups, gears up and gets everything behind it; max-effort throws with moderate accuracy. Grade: 50

Run: Double-plus speed with regular 4.10 to 4.17 clocks down the line. Quick out of the box; reaches top speed quickly and moves well around the bases. Smart instinctual runner with a track record of taking extra bases. Will go first-to-third and stretch singles into doubles when opportunity permits. Big league stolen base potential likely significantly sapped by hit tool deficiencies; impact potential with improved consistency at the plate. Utilizes speed well on defense, gliding smoothly from gap to gap; speed helps mitigate defensive mistakes. Grade: 70

Overall: Hit tool maturation will ultimately influence big league role. Regardless, speed and defensive profile and impact speed are likely strong enough to provide solid role 40, platoon or bench potential.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jake Boes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 5-10
Weight: 175 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 3
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Small, compact, wiry frame; spark plug type with tapered shoulders and a trim waist; short legs with twitchy movements; room to add strength throughout. Plays with emotion. Frame similar to Marco Scutaro. Grandson of former AL Rookie of the Year Curt Bleffary.

Hit: Open stance gives off Curtis Granderson sensations; hands back at the letters; chokes up slightly; small crouch forms a wide base; weight favors the back side; above-average leg kick into load; hands stay quiet throughout. Short, compact path to the zone; contact-oriented swings; allows the ball to travel deep; uses center and opposite fields often especially against same-sided pitching. Pesky hitter; will foul off good pitches and limits hacks at chase pitches. Struggles to barrel the ball consistently; slap approach; legs will allow him to steal an occasional infield hit. Below average hit tool, but ability to control counts and take free passes helps the profile. Grade: 45

Power: Below average power; frame and approach are not geared for power. Over-the-fence thump favors the pull field heavily but occasionally will go to center. Legs will boost extra-base numbers, likes the ball down and in to lift and separate. Grade: 40

Field: Above-average defender; moved around in college; best position is at shortstop, where he features good range going both directions. Quick transfers with solid instincts in the field. Will occasionally boot routine ground balls; fixable with continued pro instruction. Solid footwork. Grade: 55

Arm: Textbook throwing mechanics with good accuracy; above-average arm strength; throws through the bag. Arm would play best at shortstop or right field; would be overqualified for second base. Grade: 55

Run: Home-to-first times range from above-average to plus 4.10-4.15; shows the ability to hurry infielders and will find an infield hit with his legs. Shows calculated aggressiveness; takes the extra base when he knows he can make it. Regular base-stealing threat currently that may settle down as his frame reaches projection and climbs through the minor leagues. Grade: 55

Overall: 2020 draftee Servideo will enter 2021 with just 17 games over the previous year, suggesting there may be some rust to knock off as he gets acclimated to professional baseball. At his ceiling, he's a pest-type player that works at-bats, steals bases, and does the little things well on a baseball field. Considering his inability to barrel balls consistently, his speed, as well as the versatility he showed in college, he's more likely destined for a utility or platoon-type role at the next level.

Age: 23 yr
Height: 6-3
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: L/L
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round CBB
RuleV: 2022

Physical Description: Tall, physically-developed frame with little room for additional gains;sloping shoulders with long arms; wide hips with thick thighs and legs. Some unorthodox movements in the box; frame and athleticism reminds me of Sean Casey.

Hit: Upright, open stance with feet just outside of shoulder-width; hands start at the letters but move away from the body and back heading into load; weight favors the back foot but will occasionally lunge at breaking pitches; plus bat speed but a long swing; needs to get started early. Swing and miss issues, especially against same-sided pitching and spin. Save a shortened bat path adjustment, hit tool figures to play below average. Grade: 40

Power: Legitimate plus raw power that favors the pull field heavily; capable of moonshot home runs, but contact issues may suppress home run totals at the next level. Grade: 55

Field: Average, steady defender in the outfield capable of making the expected plays; lacks speed necessary to cut off balls in the gap or fill a highlight tape. Mostly center currently, likely a corner spot long-term. Grade: 50

Arm: Plus arm; uses long levers to show carry on throws with minimal effort. Throws are accurate; arm could play at any spot in the grass. Grade: 60

Run: Long, galloping strides in the outfield and on the base paths; lacks twitchy acceleration and likely to lose a step as frame reaches physical projection. Still an average runner at the next level capable of a handful of stolen bases across a full season. Grade: 50

Overall: Stowers' size and power are exciting, but the approach deficiencies may never allow the power to reach its true potential. Considering his struggles against lefties, a platoon or utility outfield option is a realistic outcome at the next level, with his floor being an organizational soldier-type.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: James Chipman

Age: 24 yr
Height: 6-4
Weight: 225 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2015 Draft - Round CBA, COL
RuleV: On 40-Man Roster

Physical Description: Tall frame; square shoulders; lean, mature strength over bulk; durable build. Plus makeup. Average athleticism and instincts. Has bloodlines: son of former first overall pick and All-Star Phil Nevin. Injury history includes: Tommy John surgery in High School, hamstring (2016), broken hand (2017) and two separate quad injuries (2018).

Hit: Square stance; high hands; busy setup; upright stance and wide base. Deep load and modest toe-tap trigger. Quick strong hands generate plus bat speed. Impressive hand eye coordination; smooth swing; great extension. Solid bat-to-ball skills. Long levers naturally yield a rather long swing, making him susceptible to average or better off-speed. Advanced approach: patient not passive; shows the ability to walk at a solid clip and limit strikeouts. Grinds out long at-bats. Polished hitter that should easily reach his projected ceiling at the plate. Grade: 55

Power: Shows above-average raw in BP; HR predominately to the opposite field. Hits the ball hard often, just fails to consistently lift. All fields line drive approach; swing plane and approach limit over-the-fence game time pop. Shows the ability to produce a respectable amount of extra-base hits, but likely just a fringe-average tool against big league pitching. Grade: 45

Field: Likely a 1B only profile; has also received reps at 3B and corner OF though. Solid average defender at 1B. Shows soft hands; able to get good extension off the base; good pick; works well around the base; lacks large range but enough to play; not highly athletic but can handle 1B with ease. Slow first-step at 3B; solid body control; shows mobility to the ground; steady hands and smooth actions. Appears at times like he's playing in slow-motion; the game just speeds up on him at times. Limited looks in OF. Appears to have a solid first step; fringy reads and routes; range is slightly below-average. Ability to play there in a pinch; not optimal full time or long term. Lack of ability and limited athleticism likely push him to 1B with occasional depth spells at 3B. Grade: 50

Arm: Average arm strength, capable of starting a solid double play. Throws have carry, hold plane, accurate from the line; careful and accurate feeding pitchers at first while playing 3B. Solid average tool. Grade: 50

Run: Well below-average runner down the line; takes some time to get out of the box and reach his cruising speed. Short strides; isn't a threat to steal or go first to third; won't clog the bases or run into many outs. Instinctual runner that shows slightly better than his well below-average speed. Grade: 40

Overall: Modest second-division regular potential if the power exceeds my expectations; more realistically a solid bench bat or platoon corner infielder that sees the bulk of his time at 1B.

Dec 2020 Report

Evaluator: Jake Boes

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-0
Weight: 170 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2017 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2021

Physical Description: Small frame; lacks definition throughout. Lean; square shoulders with average strength in the arms; upper-half is more developed than lower body. Slim legs with significant room remaining to add strength. Shows bounce; twitchy athlete with good hand-eye skills. Canadian prep background.

Hit: Square stance; upright with a wide base; slight bend at the knee. Hands sit above the letters with a raised back elbow; slight coil into load with an average stride; stiff front leg prevents the body from getting out in front. Bat is quick through the zone but tends to lengthen on outside pitches. Works counts; passive early and protects late; uses opposite-field frequently. Overall, fringy hit tool with the potential for average with physical gains. Grade: 45

Power: Frame is not ideal for power; swing generates loft but lacks engagement from the lower half; extra-base hits will go to all fields. Quick bat with physical projection may allow power to improve, but not likely to hit average totals long-term. Grade: 40

Field: Average defender at shortstop; sure-handed, reliable glove with average range. Tracks fly balls well. Comfortable back-handing balls. Makes the expected plays with confident hands, but not likely to fill a highlight-reel. Tends to be passive; could play either spot up-the-middle. Grade: 50

Arm: Above-average arm; clean transfers with a quick release. Action is quick; will show carry on throws through the bag but needs effort and legs into throws. Throws are accurate to the bag. Grade: 55

Run: Double-plus runner; fast, powerful strides down the line. Digs into the dirt with short, choppy strides. 3.96-4.0 home-to-first; capable of easily reaching double-digit steals across a full season. Grade: 70

Overall: Hall has the tools to stick at short; his sure-handed, reliable glove skills and double-plus running ability will carry the profile--he shows the ability to make contact at the plate with bat-to-ball skills, but it's more inside-out bleeders and bloops than consistent line drives. The running ability Hall shows on the basepaths is not always present in the field; an eventual outfield move may help maximize his legs. If he can improve the quality of his contact, there is the chance for an MLB regular role, but more than likely it's a utility middle infield type long-term.

Age: 22 yr
Height: 6-2
Weight: 200 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2020 Draft - Round 2
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Long and lean, carries his 200 pounds well. Athletic build. Muscular, well-defined lower half. Could stand to add some weight in his upper body. Could easily play at 210 or 215. Above average straight-line speed. Enough strength to eventually develop into a power threat.

Hit: Swing is ugly, but effective. Aggressive approach. Upright, slightly open stance. Hands start right above his ear. Pronounced leg kick with noticeable weight shift that causes his lower half to drift through the zone at times. Legs tend to bow when getting through hitting zone. Backside can collapse when trying to go to the opposite field. Gets bat head to the zone well with quick hands. Will make contact on a consistent basis. Doesn't strike out a lot. Grade: 40

Power: Big, strong kid who has above average power to his pull-side. Opposite field power needs work. Swing generates natural loft. Will need to improve his lower half mechanics to unlock peak power profile. Grade: 40

Field: Potential plus defender with great instincts. Never made an error in college. Can play all three outfield positions. Takes good angles to the ball. Has plenty of range to run down balls in the gap. Attacks the ball in the outfield. High baseball IQ. Grade: 50

Arm: Plus arm strength with overhand release. Gets good carry. Throws are usually on target around the bag. Good balance in his throw and his body stays underneath him. Arm tool should carry as he advances. Grade: 50

Run: Elite speed. Clocks 4.10 to 4.15 consistently. Wasn't asked to run a lot in college. Speed isn't used as a weapon offensively. Needs to be more aggressive on the bases. Can track down most balls in the outfield. Speed should help him advance quickly. Grade: 60

Overall: If you like toolsy outfielders, Haskin is your guy. Already has good size and speed which should play up as he advances. Will need to walk more and change his approach at the plate to adjust to the Major League level. The swing is unconventional but gets the job done so it will be interesting to see how much the Orioles tinker with him. If the hit tool and power develop, we could be talking about an everyday starter with room for more. Defensively he will be able to play all three outfield spots which, in a system starved for position players, should benefit him. There is a reasonably wide ranges of outcomes here but if everything comes together, the tools are there for him to an everyday regular and potential leadoff hitter.

Weight: 170 lbs
Hits/Throws: R/R
Acquired: 2019 Draft - Round 5
RuleV: 2023

Physical Description: Developing frame, transitioning from wiry-strong to well muscled. Average height, strong, quick wrists, explosive hand strength. Quick hips and legs, strong across shoulders/ back with ability to reach power alleys. Heads up fielder, plays happen in front of him shows consistent fundamentals. Big hands, springy type of athlete. Bloodlines include father who played pro baseball.

Hit: Inward knee bend in stance, hands held back and high, hips open, front elbow tight. Quiet lower body includes exaggerated hip turn, power channel from a strong base. Upper body starts late, finishes direct, more forward follow through than upward. Creates backspin with hand/wrist strength. Ability to let pitches reach mid-chest before initiating motion. Sees pitches, long ABs, short slumps. Finish can get front-foot heavy during follow through. Loose overall swing process. Grade: 45

Power: High bat speed. Short, direct path to pitch. Developing long doubles power in game. Displayed HR power in practice. Frame/swing shows potential for growth here more than anywhere else. Doubles power at his lightest pro weight. 15 HR power and 25-35 doubles reasonable to expect at full development. Looseness/whip-like swing could mean more. Grade: 40

Field: Bouncy, light feet with excellent springs. Tight, precision transfers. Hands show lots of control matched with clean up-down motion on grounders. Foot placement, positioning, speed especially show consistently. Fields ball in front of body. Saw at both 2B and SS. Slick at fielding attempted steal attempts. Overall little wasted motion, high efficiency infielder. Grade: 50

Arm: Short, overhand throwing motion fundamentally sound release. Strength more than adequate. Throws hit targets often. Shows touch. Grade: 55

Run: Quick, short strider who reaches a high top speed. Base-to-base can take advantage of a good lead and stealing motion helped by a hyper quick hip turn towards the path. Fast out of the box. Excelled in sliding drills for having perfect fundamentals. Expectation of double- digit steals even through final stages of physical development. Grade: 50

Overall: Light feet, above average hand/wrist ability, smooth, well honed fundamentals. Lower body bend/flexibility project high. Confident playing style and quiet swagger. Power will determine lots in his projection and he's got some built in at a young age. Motivation, focus off the field finalize an impressive profile. Orioles have lots of time. Development could go in several directions, most of them appear as positive today.
