Son of former All-Star Matt Holliday, Jackson stands out to many as the best well-rounded prospect of the 2022 draft. The ultra-advanced White has plus command of four good pitches. The lefty-swinger went 7-18 with two homers and five runs batted in. Baty has also consistently been a high groundball rate hitter, at least 51% at every full-season level until his 42% mark with Double-A Binghamton in 2022, where he spent the bulk of the year. Jung was an elite college performer at Texas Tech he posted a .348/.455/.577 line with more walks than strikeouts throughout his career but didnt hit for huge home run power there, in part because he tended to work the opposite field. Fifteen teams entered the Top 100 after being unranked in 2019. He ultimately went fourth overall to Pittsburgh, and because hes a relatively advanced hitter with a mature build, theres a good chance the Pirates move Johnson through the minors pretty quickly if he hits the ground running offensively. Peraza had another solid offensive season, this time as a 22-year-old at Triple-A Scranton Wilkes-Barre, where he slashed .259/.329/.448, hit 19 homers, and stole 33 bases. Previous ranking: No. His fastball now sits 95-99 mph, up seven ticks from his college days, and while it currently relies heavily on its velocity rather than its below-average shape, a scout we spoke with was optimistic regarding the 22-year-olds ability to continue to improve the offering, singing Graceffos praises when it comes to his work ethic. His four-seamer sits comfortably around 96 mph with gravity-defying carry, and a scout Tess spoke with described his curveball as having the potential to become a similarly elite offering. How impactful a starter may depend on how his changeup, currently a tertiary offering, develops at the big league level. INF David Mendham Mendham, an experienced and well-traveled player, is back for another season of college baseball. There will probably be a consistent hole against fastballs up and away for Domnguez. He ran a 6.95 ERA in Triple-A throughout 2022 but the hitting environment in Reno isnt fair to pitchers, and Jamesons stuff, control, and athleticism are all on par with a good teams fourth starter. Every aspect of his offense is plus except for his raw power, but Manzardos precise feel for the barrel and tendency to hunt pitches he can drive (or spoil ones he cant until he gets something hittable) should enable his game power to play above his batting practice raw. Mead has spent a lot of time at third and second base. His swing is like a right-handed version of Juan Sotos, capable of getting underneath the baseball in basically every part of the zone, in part because of the flexibility and athleticism in his lower half. Harrisons fastball sits 93-94 mph, topping out around 98, and it plays up thanks to its shape and the deceptively low lefty arm slot Harrison hurls it from. Meads feel to hit and power on contact will make him an impact everyday player no matter what position he ends up playing. 55), Old Dominion (No. Theres definitely relief risk here for that reason and because it may take two seasons to put Eder in a position to work an entire load of starters innings at the big league level. 47Louisiana TechC-USA2LA2439091NR Back then, he was a switch-hitting, switch-throwing prepster who would pitch left-handed and play the infield, too talented to be a sideshow but not enough to go in the first round, as 10 high school shortstops were drafted ahead of him. Rodriguezs changeup, which falls through a trap door just as it approaches the plate, is among the best secondary pitches in the minors, garnering a 42% chase and whiff rate in 2022. De La Cruz has the most exciting combination of tools and defensive fit in the minors, a switch-hitter with plus-plus power, speed, arm strength, and all-around athleticism, as well as a somewhat more consistent look at shortstop than he had a year ago, even at 6-foot-5. Barger then went to the Arizona Fall League, where his left-handed bat speed stood out among lots of other good hitting prospects. The area where its most imperative for Tovar to show improvement is his plate discipline. Cincinnatis present roster situation funnels him to third base, but Jonathan Indias injury history, Joey Vottos age and handedness, and the Reds willingness to play Kyle Farmer at shortstop in the past likely mean that Steer will see time all over the infield throughout the next few years, and this flexibility along with his hitting skill should make him nearly an everyday, every-inning player despite some of his defensive blemishes. Louisiana State remains No. He can get extended on pitches out away from him and drive them into the opposite field gap, and has the power to do damage that way, and can also move the bat head all over the strike zone. These two pitches are Bradleys most-used weapons by a wide margin, as his splitter and curveball are both used 6-7% of the time. He makes up for mediocre twitch and range with outstanding instincts, elegant body control, lightning-fast hands and actions, and a plus arm. His changeup isnt consistent enough for it to play a major role in his arsenal quite yet, but he trusts his slider enough to use it in place of the changeup, even against righties. Hell be just one of a whole host of All-American candidates in the LSU lineup. 56WashingtonPac-127WA2-15415469 Even with a 40 or 45-grade hit tool, which feels like a low-end outcome, thats a star player at shortstop and an above-average regular at third base. Legend [ edit] ESPN/USA Today Coaches Poll [ edit] Vargas is a bankable, big league-ready hitter with moderate upside, while Cappe is a risky low-level prospect with huge upside. In 2022, he established himself as one of the premiere pitching prospects in the Cardinals system, issuing 81 strikeouts and just 15 walks over his 52.1 innings at Low-A, where he spent the entire season. If he develops even a 40-grade hit tool, hell hit 30 annual bombs and it wont matter where he plays. In a bodily sense, he was also unlike any amateur prospect most scouts had ever seen. Hes a lovely, loose rotator for a hitter his size and is willing to use the opposite field when pitches are away from him. If Eder is wild upon his initial return to affiliated ball, it will be tough to know if hes regressed to his career command mean or if its just rust from being 17 months post-op. 3B Jake Gelof One of the best power hitters in the country, Gelof showed off his skills yet again, putting up video game numbers in week 1. California is now tied with Texas for most teams in the top 100 with 10 apiece. Montgomery may provide a counterexample to the industrys obsession with hitters age in the draft room, as the former 19-year-old high schooler looks like he might be a star. A somewhat frustrating blend of exciting elements, Liberatore features a four-pitch mix and each of his offerings is at least average, which presents as an obvious starters foundation.

Bradley has, and hes done so while building an innings count that should help vault him into the Rays rotation at some point in 2023. At one point, his in-zone contact rate was in the ninth percentile among minor leaguers, even while his triple slash line was out of this world. He ultimately fell to the White Sox at 22nd overall, and a little over a year removed from his selection, that looks like an absolute steal. Over the last year, Prez has added about 30 pounds, experienced a two-tick fastball velocity bump, and incorporated a second, harder breaking ball that has become his primary non-fastball weapon. Neto finds a way to make lots of contact despite his cacophonous swing, which is enough to project him as an everyday second baseman. 55), Old Dominion (No. Finally, Southern Miss, which dropped two of three to Illinois at home in ugly fashion, rounds out the Top 25. His swing is a little odd and upright, and his hands load with a bit of a hitch, but he is still able to guide the barrel around the zone and produce shocking raw power for such a lithe teenage hitter.

His best offspeed is a plus slider, a tight, two-plane offering in the low-to-mid-80s. Millers arm swing is long and he has again been somewhat walk-prone in pro ball. His defensive ability alone gives him a big league floor, and his power gives him a big ceiling if he can get to it in games. He crushes mistakes, and has 48 career bombs in about a season-and-a-halfs worth of pro games. He is much more adept at doing this from the left side; his righty swing is relatively grooved. Casas went to the Dominican Winter League to be part of Liceys prospect-studded lineup (Elly De La Cruz, Ronny Mauricio, and a few others were also on that roster at the start of the LIDOM season), but a knee injury ended that jaunt after just three games. Abel is a prototypical power pitching prospect with huge arm strength, a plus breaking ball, and the frame to not only hold his velo all year but to perhaps keep throwing harder and harder until hes a No. Flores has emerged as the best current prospect among the 2020 undrafted free agents and spent most of 2022 carving up the Eastern League. Hes a complete hitter who will likely produce some 25-30 home run seasons by virtue of his contact quality and frequency, and some .400-plus OBP seasons because of his plate discipline and speed. Any discussion of Walker begins with his exit velocities, which are nearly unheard of for a player this young. The righty had only made 11 career starts at then-Division-II Bellarmine University, but a successful 2019 summer on the Cape and a lights out draft spring suggested that he was a real prospect. Almost all of Veens pull-side contact into the outfield once he was promoted to Double-A came against secondary pitches. For now, his ability to bend and get deep into his legs, as well as his lateral agility and range, is pretty amazing for a player his size. Volpes game power should routinely put him in the mix for All-Star teams for as long as he stays on the middle infield, and hell still be a productive everyday player if he moves later in his career. Theres still risk Rafaela walks the Cristian Pache path, as his issues are similar to the ones that have apparently undone the young Athletic, but more likely hes akin to Kevin Pillar, and there are scouts who think Rafaelas frame will continue to add strength such that he hits for more power than Pillar was able to. Against Penn State, however, he was dominant, going 6.2 innings of one-hit ball. 2ArkansasSEC2AR1131312 His slider (Hall was almost exclusively a fastball/slider pitcher against lefties during his big league run) is firm and now has better movement demarcation from his curveball, which is easily his least-used offering, usually a backdoor option to righties. As of list publication, Rodriguez is one of just two catchers on Pittsburghs 40-man roster, and while its possible hes beaten out by a veteran non-roster invitee like Tyler Heineman or Kevin Plawecki, Rodriguezs defensive chops and versatility give him a shot to break camp with the big club, split time with Austin Hedges, and moonlight at one or two other positions before eventually seizing the primary catcher job. The ball explodes off his bat to all fields, and he can do extra-base damage even when he mis-hits a ball. Late in 2022, the Cardinals started giving Walker reps in the outfield, mostly in right, and he looked fine out there. He was a coveted prospect as a prep player, but his strong commitment to Cal Poly, where his dad coaches, and some general concerns about his physical longevity due to a back issue pushed the industrys assessment of him down, so he went to school.

Indeed, the way Mead plays defense isnt typical for an infielder at all; its as if he grew up not watching big league defenders every summer, which might be true. He has an ideal pitchers frame, his gorgeous delivery generated mid-90s velocity with huge riding life at the top of the zone, his changeup is one of the better amateur changeups most scouts have ever seen, and before his elbow blew out during his draft spring, his curveball looked like it had gotten better.
