<a href="http://patreon.com/imaginarybrickwall" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>-HALP’S DYNASTY BASEBALL PODCAST</strong></a></p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kristian-campbell/sa3023011/stats?position=2B/OF"><strong>Kristian Campbell</strong> </a>– <em>BOS, 2B/OF, 22.3 – </em>And this is why I fought every urge in my body to not overreact to spring. I felt the pull too. The questions were coming left and right. And my answer remained the same. I&#8217;m not going to rejuggle my entire rankings based on who was having the best spring. The Sox weren&#8217;t fazed by the bad spring either, putting Campbell on the Opening Day roster. And it didn&#8217;t take long for our patience to pay off. Campbell had his coming out party yesterday. <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1906138748087050581" target="_blank" rel="noopener">utterly obliterating his first MLB homer at 112.2 MPH with an 80.4 MPH swing.</a> He tacked on a 106.3 MPH double too, finishing the day 2 for 3 with a walk. He currently has a 75.3 MPH bat speed on 16 swings, which would put him into the elite range. He&#8217;s the real deal.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=shaw--000mat">Matt Shaw</a></strong> – <em>CHC, 3B/2B/SS, 23.4/</em><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/gage-workman/sa3014441/stats?position=3B/SS" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gage Workman</a> </strong>– <em>CHC, SS/3B, 25.5 – </em>Workman stole a start at 3B after Shaw&#8217;s slow start to the season hah, which was my concern, but he went 0 for 2 with 2 K&#8217;s, and then Shaw replaced him and<a href="https://x.com/Cubs/status/1906160935380611165" target="_blank" rel="noopener"> leg kicked his way into his first big league homer</a> with a 76.6 MPH swing. That leg kick though. My goodness. I mean, I love me the little men leg kick, but maybe a little too much man ha. Either way, what a fun weekend of baseball so far.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jesus-luzardo/19959/stats?position=P">Jesus Luzardo</a></strong> – <em>PHI, LHP, 27.6 – </em>The first weekend of baseball has been nothing short of a Brick Wall Target Festival. Luzardo was my #1 bounce back target call, and boy did he bounce back in his first start, going 5 IP with 5 hits, 2 ER, and a 11/2 K/BB vs. WAS. The fastball velocity is all the way back up to a fully healthy 96.9 MPH, and the slider and sweeper were absolutely devastating with a 78% and 71% whiff% respectively. The changeup dominated too with a 33% whiff% and 85.7 MPH EV. Everything straight dominated. Also off to a damn good start on that long shot bet lead the league in strikeouts. We&#8217;re off and running baby &#8230;</p>
<p><strong> </strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=westbu000jor"><strong>Jordan Westburg</strong></a> – <em>BAL, 2B/3B, 26.1 – </em>Even targets from Christmas Past are working double time. Westburg wasn&#8217;t done after the 2024 breakout, he&#8217;s coming for the next level 2025 breakout now, cranking two homers at 109.7 MPH off Max Scherzer and 105.7 MPH off Chad Green. That&#8217;s 3 homers in 3 games. Everything&#8217;s coming up Brick on Opening Weekend. What&#8217;s next, you&#8217;re going to tell me this is the year Zac Veen breaks out too?</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jose-soriano/22100/stats?position=P"><strong>Jose Soriano</strong></a> – <em>LAA, RHP, 26.6 – </em>Don&#8217;t kill the messenger! I don&#8217;t want to victory lap this much after 3 games either! hah &#8230; what am I supposed to do though? Target Soriano opened his season with a shutout, going 7 IP with 2 hits, 0 ER, and a 5/2 K/BB vs. CHW. Granted, I could probably shutout the White Sox, but still. The sinker sat 96.6 MPH and while he didn&#8217;t get a ton of whiffs with a 16% whiff% overall, he was a weak contact machine with a 83.7 MPH EV against. Again, was he really a weak contact machine, or were the White Sox hitters a weak contact machine? I&#8217;m not victory lapping this. This feels more like the White Sox than anything Soriano did. Montgomery and Teel (who homered for the 2nd straight game yesterday at Triple-A) can&#8217;t get here fast enough.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/bo-bichette/19612/stats?position=SS"><strong>Bo Bichette</strong></a> – <em>TOR, SS, 27.1 – </em>We need a Target palate cleanser. Non Target Bichette is showing signs the big spring was legit after going 4 for 4 yesterday with a 110.5 MPH double 104.7 MPH double, 102.4 MPH single and 86.6 MPH single. But the most important thing is that the bat speed is up in the early going with an above average 72.1 MPH swing speed on 22 swings. It sat a 70.1 in 2023 and 70.4 in 2024. All signs point to a legit bounce for Bichette.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/victor-scott/sa3019838/stats?position=OF"><strong>Victor Scott</strong></a> – <em>STL, OF, 24.2 – </em>Non Target Victor Scott went 2 for 4 with 2 steals. Nice to see him get on the board after his hot spring too. He has potential to lead the majors in steals.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/ryan-bliss/sa3016951/stats?position=2B/SS">Ryan Bliss</a> </strong>– <em>SEA, 2B/SS,</em> 25.4/<strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/otto-lopez/19608/stats?position=2B">Otto Lopez</a></strong> <em>– MIA, 2B, 26.4 –</em><em> – </em>But Scott isn&#8217;t the only contender off and running, Target (! ha) Bliss got on his horse again too for his 2nd steal of the season, finishing the day 1 for 4. And Target Otto might be gunning for a full blown breakout at this point. He nabbed his first bag of the season after homering on Friday. But more impressively, he clocked in with another big day at the dish, going 3 for 5, highlighted by a 109.9 MPH single. That&#8217;s a new career high.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://x.com/KJS_4/status/1906101220714152122" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New York Yankees Bats</a> &#8211; </strong>Like, literally the bats. One of the most interesting stories of the early season is the MIT physicist <a href="https://x.com/KJS_4/status/1906101220714152122" target="_blank" rel="noopener">who reshaped the Yankees bats</a> to put more wood in the barrel. And after hitting 9 homers yesterday as a team, the story is blowing up. Seems wild that it took 150 years for somebody to figure this out. I mean, I just assumed this would have been tried before. Or that it was illegal. But I guess not. At least not yet. This is just fun to follow. Would have been nice if Dominguez got one too though. He had no homers. Did he not get the bat?</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=kurtz-000nic">Nick Kurtz</a> </strong>– <em>OAK, 1B, 22.1 – </em>Cam Smith damn near sucked the hype away from every other FYPD player after his insane spring. But Kurtz is now out to put some respect back on his name at Triple-A after <a href="https://x.com/MLBPipeline/status/1906199114305483228" target="_blank" rel="noopener">decimating his first spring homer at 108.8 MPH.</a> He&#8217;s now 4 for 9 with 0 K&#8217;s, 2 BB, 2 doubles, and a homer. I would say he&#8217;s ready.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/spencer-arrighetti/sa3017537/stats?position=P">Spencer Arrighetti</a></strong> – <em>HOU, RHP, 25.2 – </em>6 IP, 1 hit, 1 ER, 5/2 K/BB vs. NYM. The fastball sat 94.3 MPH and put up a 21% whiff%. But it was the secondaries that really impressed with the curve, cutter, sweeper and changeup putting up a 50%, 44%, 60% and 33% whiff% respectively. It led to an elite 35% whiff%. This is exactly what we wanted to see out of Arrighetti. He&#8217;s about to go full breakout in 2025.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/zack-littell/15823/stats?position=P">Zack Littell</a> </strong>– <em>TBR, RHP, 29.6 – </em>The Rodney Dangerfield of pitchers, Littell just can&#8217;t get no respect no matter how well he pitches. Coming off a strong 2024, absolutely nobody cared about him again in 2025, but he made them notice yesterday, going 6 IP with 4 hits, 1 ER, and a 7/1 K/BB. Granted it came against road Rockies, but still. The splitter absolutely dominated with 6 of 12 whiffs, and the heavily used slider was awesome too with a 86.7 MPH EV against and 28% whiff%. He&#8217;s not flashy, but he gets the job done, and he&#8217;s not going anywhere. Just a really solid pitcher.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/walker-buehler/19374/stats?position=P"><strong>Walker Buehler</strong></a> – <em>BOS, RHP, 30.8 – </em>Buehler was one of my top pitcher fades this off-season, not buying into the name value, and his first outing doesn&#8217;t make me like him any more than I did, going 4.1 IP with 7 hits, 4 ER, and a 3/0 K/BB vs. TEX. The velocity is all the way down to 93 MPH on the fastball, and while the sweeper, changeup and curve missed bats, it still resulted in a below average 21% whiff% overall. I closed out his Top 1,000 blurb by writing, &#8220;His stuff really isn’t all that standout anymore, and is arguably below average. He’s an aging, banged up pitcher with decent stuff and continually declining whiff rates. I’m out at his current price.&#8221; It was just more of the same yesterday.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=mclain000mat"><strong>Matt McLain</strong></a> – <em>CIN, 2B/SS, 25.8 – </em>Little Matty McLain got himself a repaired shoulder, and it looked just fine yesterday, <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1906089899473649962" target="_blank" rel="noopener">blasting off for his first homer off Justin Verlander at 99.8 MPH</a>. Not exactly a statement shot, but it would have been a homer in 29 of 30 ballparks, so it&#8217;s not just a Cincy cheapie. He currently has a 98.5 MPH EV in 6 batted balls. I would say he&#8217;s healthy.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/christian-encarnacion-strand/sa3017756/stats?position=1B">Christian Encarnacion-Strand</a></strong> – <em>CIN, 1B, 25.4 – </em>Speaking of healthy Reds, Strand is so back, getting ahold of his first homer of the season as well with a 103.5 MPH shot. He also tacked on a 102.7 MPH single. The bat speed is up to 74.4 MPH on the season, which is double plus range. I was lukewarm on him this off-season, and that was clearly a mistake. Thankfully I still have him on a rookie contract in my 12 team league back when I did believe in him. Dynasty is weird like that. So I&#8217;ll take it ha.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/keibert-ruiz/19610/stats?position=C"><strong>Keibert Ruiz</strong></a> – <em>WAS, C, 26.8 – </em>It sure feels like Ruiz is about the have his breakout season. He lifted off again for his 2nd homer of the season on a 101.6 MPH shot off Jesus Luzardo. The 67.4 MPH bat speed is still slow, giving me some pause on how real it is, but at the least, a bounce back season is in order after a down 2024. And he has an 18 homer season under his belt already in 2023.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/maikel-garcia/22715/stats?position=SS"><strong>Maikel Garcia</strong></a> – <em>KCR, 3B/2B, 25.1 – </em>Talk about Ghosts of Target past. I&#8217;m not going to fall for this one again. Garcia is off to another hot start after cracking his first homer of the year at 103.8 MPH. He also tacked on a 107.3 MPH single. Those were the two hardest hit balls of the day. I thought the breakout was coming last year after his hot start, but it wasn&#8217;t to be, so forgive me for waiting a bit longer on this one this year. I still like the profile a lot (speed, hard hit, contact), but he still has a negative 12.2 degree launch, and he needs to raise that launch for a true sustained homer breakout.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/spencer-schwellenbach/sa3020703/stats?position=P"><strong>Spencer Schwellenbach</strong></a> – <em>ATL, RHP, 24.10 – </em>Last year in these here Dynasty Rundowns I was pumping Schwellenbach as a 5 alarm target when his ERA was over 5. This year, I&#8217;m not sure there is much left to say other than he is an ace, and he went out and kept proving it yesterday, going 6 IP with 1 hit, 0 ER, and a 4/1 K/BB vs. SDP. The fastball sat 96.5 MPH, and he went to his excellent splitter even more than last year, making it his most used pitch with a 30% whiff%. He used a 6 pitch mix to notch an above average 26% whiff% and 87.2 MPH EV against. Last year was the time to pounce. It&#8217;s too late now.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=willia001gav"><strong>Gavin Williams</strong></a> – <em>CLE, RHP, 25.8 – </em>5 IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 2/1 K/BB vs. KCR &#8230; solid outing. The fastball sat 97.5 MPH, which is good. But it only resulted in a 17% whiff% overall. We&#8217;re going to need to see much better than that before thinking a true explosion is coming.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/griffin-canning/19867/stats?position=P" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Griffin Canning </a></strong>– <em>NYM, RHP, 28.11</em> – 5.2 IP, 4 hits, 2 ER, 4/2 K/BB vs. HOU. The fastball sat 93.7 MPH and got zero whiffs. The heavily used slider got hit hard with a 91.5 MPH EV and didn&#8217;t miss a ton of bats (25% whiff%). The change also got hit hard with a 91.1 MPH EV. It resulted in a 91.1 MPH EV against with a 24% whiff%. All together, you have to say it was a solid outing, but I&#8217;m still treading carefully here.</p>
<p><strong> <a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/jeremy-pena/sa876320/stats?position=SS">Jeremy Pena</a></strong> – <em>HOU, SS, 27.6 – </em>Pena is coming for those power gains after he jacked out his 1st homer of the year w<a href="https://x.com/MLBONFOX/status/1906143080383942915" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ith a literal laser beam at 106.7 MPH off Griffin Canning</a>. His launch is up to 20.8 degrees in the early going. Still early, but that is a big jump from 7.5 degrees. If he can even maintain some of that, it won&#8217;t be hard to take advantage of those Crawford boxes.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/kameron-misner/26374/stats?position=OF" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Kameron Misner</a> </strong><em>&#8211; TBR, OF, 27.3 &#8211; </em>Last off-season, I named Misner a deep league target as the next Luke Raley-like Rays late career breakout. He didn&#8217;t make my Top 1,000 this year because I just didn&#8217;t see the path to playing time, but with Lowe out, he has one now, and he&#8217;s taking advantage. He homered on Friday as a pinch hitter, and then he got the start yesterday and went 2 for 4 with a 103.7 MPH single and 99 MPH single. This a 6&#8217;4&#8221;, 218 pound uber athlete who jacked 17 homers with 30 steals at Triple-A in 2024. This is the exact type of late career breakout that the Rays love. Like Raley, it&#8217;s going to come with a lot of strikeouts and a likely platoon role, but he&#8217;s really interesting to me. You know I love my huge human beings who are also great athletes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/junior-caminero/sa3015532/stats?position=1B/3B"><strong>Junior Caminero</strong></a> – <em>TBR, 3B, 21.9 – </em>84.8 MPH. 83.3 MPH. 81.5 MPH. 81.2 MPH. Those were the 4 fastest swings of the game. This guy just swings different. It resulted in a 3 for 5 day. He&#8217;s just impressive.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fangraphs.com/players/oneil-cruz/sa917318/stats?position=3B/SS"><strong>Oneil Cruz</strong></a> – <em>PIT, OF/SS, 26.6 – </em>4 walks and another 2 for 2 day on the bases, giving him 1 homer and 4 steals in 3 games. Oh no, what is this man about to do this year</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.baseball-reference.com/register/player.fcgi?id=sasaki000rok">Roki Sasaki </a></strong>– <em>LAD, RHP, 23.5 </em>– Oh boy. Sasaki deserves to have the Bottom of the Rundown all to himself. He got blown up, going 1.2 IP with 3 hits, 2 ER, and a 2/4 K/BB vs. DET. The fastball was down 1 MPH from his first shaky outing in Japan at 96.1 MPH, and that&#8217;s way down from where he was sitting in his prime. The splitter and slider still missed a ton of bats, which is definitely good news (50% and 40%, respectively), but what the hell happened to his control? This man had a career 5.6% BB% in Japan. I don&#8217;t think I want to answer that question. It&#8217;s the answer I didn&#8217;t want to give when I <a href="http://patreon.com/imaginarybrickwall" target="_blank" rel="noopener">predicted Sasaki would be back on the 2026 Top 50 Prospects Rankings</a>. Let&#8217;s just hope it&#8217;s nerves/jitters/adjustment period. That&#8217;s all we can do.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>2019 prospects are old news. If you&#8217;re anything like me, you&#8217;ve spent so much time watching, listening, and reading about these guys, you know them better than you know thyself. With the NCAA Baseball season kicking off this weekend, I figured now is as good a time as any to roll out the first edition of my 2020 Dynasty Baseball First Year Player Draft Rankings. Disclaimer: these rankings may change drastically as we get closer and closer to the June draft. Here are the 2020 Top 90 Dynasty Baseball First Year Player Draft Rankings (1st Edition):&#8217;</p>

<p><strong>Player Name </strong><em>POSITION, TEAM, AGE (Years.Months on 2019 MLB Opening Day &#8211; Months are on a scale of 0-11 &#8230; I know it is not mathematically correct, but gimme a break, I was a History major)</em></p>
<p><em>Projections (Hitters): </em>R/HR/RBI/AVG/OBP/SLG/Steals<br />
<em>(Pitchers): </em>Wins/ERA/WHIP/K</p>
<p><strong>1) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=386157" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Bobby Witt Jr.</a> </strong><em>SS, High School, 18.10 &#8211; </em>Won of the Home Run Derby at the High School All-Star game and won MVP at the Under Armour All-America Game. Witt has posted elite exit velocity for his age and has plus speed. This is the high upside prospect you are looking for in Dynasty leagues. <em>Prime Projection: </em>89/28/96/.257/.339/.485/22 <strong>ETA: </strong>2024 <strong>Where he would rank on my <a href="https://www.imaginarybrickwall.com/2019-top-471-fantasy-dynasty-baseball-prospect-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking</a></strong><em>: </em>#35 &#8211; ranked around Gavin Lux, Kristian Robinson, Danny Jansen, and Josh James.</p>
<p>2<strong>) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJ0X9iDOYbk" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Jasson Dominguez</a> </strong><em>OF, NYY, 16?? &#8211; </em>Expected to sign for about $5 million with the Yankees. Dominguez is a chiseled 5&#8217;10&#8221;, 195 pounds with a plus power-speed combo and good feel to hit. There isn&#8217;t that much info out there on him, but the ball explodes off his bat from the three Youtube clips I watched, and the $5 million signing bonus speaks for itself. <em>Prime Projection: </em>96/28/94/.281/.357/.511/19 <strong>ETA: </strong>2025 <strong><a href="https://www.imaginarybrickwall.com/2019-top-471-fantasy-dynasty-baseball-prospect-rankings/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking:</a> </strong>#36 &#8211; ranked around see above, plus Mike Soroka, Vidal Brujan, and Andres Gimenez</p>
<p><strong>3) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/PlayerProfile.aspx?ID=480369" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Corbin Carroll</a> </strong><em>OF, HS, 18.7 &#8211; </em>Undersized at 5&#8217;10&#8221;, 165 pounds but has a quick and powerful stroke that has produced excellent exit velocity readings. Advanced approach with plus hit and 70 grade speed are his bread and butter. <em>Prime Projection: </em>96/23/92/.285/.358/.478/26 <strong>ETA: </strong>2023 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking:</strong>#47 &#8211; ranked around Jeter Downs, Victor Victor Mesa, and Jarred Kelenic.</p>
<p><strong>4) <a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=207160" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Andrew Vaughn</a></strong> <em>1B, California, 21.0 &#8211;</em> Insane sophomore year in the Pac12 with a 18/44 K/BB, 23 homers, and a triple-slash of .402/.531/.819. Plus hit, plus bat speed, plus power and plus exit velocity. If you prefer a quick moving college bat, I would&#8217;t blame you if you took Vaughn 1st overall.<em> Prime Projection:</em> 82/30/94/.285/.361/.514/2 <strong>ETA:</strong> 2021 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#58 &#8211; ranked around Austin Riley, Nathaniel Lowe, and George Valera.</p>
<p><strong>5) <a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=204305" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Adley Rutschman</a> </strong><em>C, Oregon State, 21.2 &#8211;</em> Switch hitting catcher with power from both sides, an advanced plate approach, and a sure bet to stick behind the plate. Plus catcher defense makes him more valuable in real life.<em> Prime Projection:</em> 78/25/87/.278/.366/.483/3 <strong>ETA:</strong> 2021 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#64 &#8211; ranked around Trevor Larnach, Seth Beer, and Michael Chavis.</p>
<p><strong>6) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=446124" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CJ Abrams</a> </strong><em>SS, HS, 18.6 &#8211; </em>Prototypical top of the order hitter with elite contact ability and elite speed.  At 6&#8217;2&#8221;, 180 pounds he has the frame to grow into more power, and has posted a top exit velocity of 93 MPH at a Perfect Game showcase, which isn&#8217;t bad.. <em>Prime Projection: </em>96/18/71/.287/.349/.453/29 <strong>ETA: </strong>2023 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#71 &#8211; ranked around Bubba Thompson, Nico Hoerner, and Mitch Keller.</p>
<p><strong>7) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/PlayerProfile.aspx?ID=438778" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Riley Greene</a> </strong><em>OF, HS, 18.6 &#8211;</em> Pure hitter with plus bat speed and plus exit velocity that should lead to more power as he matures. Greene has one of the smoothest lefty swings in the draft.<em> Prime Projection: </em>91/25/92/.288/.373/.505/9 <strong>ETA:</strong> 2023 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#75 &#8211; ranked around Ke&#8217;Bryan Hayes, Estevan Florial, Yusniel Diaz, and Isaac Paredes.</p>
<p><strong>8) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=500277">Jerrion Ealy</a> </strong><em>OF, HS, 18.7 &#8211; </em>Elite two-sport athlete (he&#8217;s also a star running back) with double plus speed, vicious bat speed, and elite contact ability. These two sport stars always seem to be a little underrated (see Taylor Trammell and Bubba Thompson, two guys I was much higher on than any other list pre-draft). Ealy has the potential to be an absolute stud. This ranking doesn&#8217;t take any signability concerns into account. I would just be wildly guessing at the odds he chooses to go to college to play football. Same goes for my #10 ranked prospect, Maurice Hampton. <em>Prime Projection: </em>91/21/86/.277/.345/.461/30 <strong>ETA: </strong>2023 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#78 &#8211; ranked around Nolan Jones, Joey Bart, Travis Swaggerty, and Corey Ray.</p>
<p><strong>9) <a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=207964" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Busch</a> </strong><em>1B/OF, North Carolina, 21.5 &#8211;</em> Plus hit, plus power combo with sneaky athleticism. Dominated the Cape Cod League, slashing .322/.450/.567 with 6 homers, 3 steals, and a 17/19 K/BB in 27 games.<em> Prime Projection: </em>85/26/88/.274/.353/.479/8 <strong>ETA: </strong>2021 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#90 &#8211; ranked around Alec Bohm, Tyler Nevin, and Jordyn Adams.</p>
<p><strong>10) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/Playerprofile.aspx?ID=463838" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Maurice Hampton </a></strong><em>OF, HS, 17.8 &#8211; </em>Elite two sport athlete (star cornerback) with plus speed and plus exit velocity, but inexperience shows up in his raw hit tool. Hampton is another underrated two sport star. Upside is elite. <em>Prime Projection: </em>83/24/83/.258/.330/.468/23 <strong>ETA: </strong>2024 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#91 &#8211; ranked around Jordan Adams, Julio Pablo Martinez, and Wander Javier.</p>
<p><strong>11) <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NuqghgOr0c" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Robert Puason</a> </strong><em>SS, OAK, 16?? &#8211; </em>Dominguez and Puason are the top tier of the 2019 J2 class. Puason is a long and lean 6&#8217;2&#8221; with elite athleticism and plus speed. <em>Prime Projection: </em>93/23/87/.277/.351/.479/22 <strong>ETA: </strong>2025 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#100 &#8211; ranked around Kevin Smith and Marco Luciano.</p>
<p><strong>12) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=504421" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carter Stewart</a> </strong><em>RHP, Junior College, 19.5 &#8211; </em>Selected 8th overall by Atlanta in the 2018 draft, but never signed due to concerns over a wrist injury. Stewart is a 6&#8217;6&#8221;, 200 pound man child with a nasty high spin rate curveball. He has an intimidating presence on the mound with a fastball that tops out at 97 MPH. <em>Prime Projection: </em>15/3.54/1.23/198 in 180 IP <strong>ETA: </strong>2022 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#101 &#8211; ranked around Luiz Gohara, Jon Duplantier, Luis Patino, and Ryan Mountcastle.</p>
<p><strong>13) <a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=207431" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Graeme Stinson</a> </strong><em>LHP, Duke, 21.8 &#8211; </em>6&#8217;5&#8221;, 245 pound lefty with a nasty fastball/slider combo that racks up strikeouts. Changeup is far behind and he has been a reliever for most of his college career, so bullpen risk is high. <em>Prime Projection: </em>11/3.48/1.24/171 in 145 IP <strong>ETA: </strong>2021 <strong>Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#111 &#8211; ranked around see above, plus Brent Rooker, Willians Astudillo, and Ryan McKenna.</p>
<p><strong>14) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/players/playerprofile.aspx?ID=548223" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daniel Espino</a> </strong><em>RHP, HS, 18.3 &#8211; </em>Fastball sits in the mid 90&#8217;s and can touch 100 MPH, to go along with a plus curveball and potentially plus slider. Espino might have the most electric stuff in the draft. <em>Prime Projection: </em>14/3.55/1.25/193 in 178 IP <strong>ETA: </strong>2023 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#113 &#8211; ranked around see above, plus Anderson Espinoza, Isan Diaz, and Heliot Ramos.</p>
<p><strong>15) <a href="https://www.perfectgame.org/Players/PlayerProfile.aspx?ID=491251" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Brennan Malone</a> </strong><em>RHP, HS, 18.7 &#8211; </em>Power pitcher at 6&#8217;5&#8221;, 210 pounds with a fastball that hits 97 MPH and an arm action that looks like it could launch military grade weapons. Secondaries are still raw, but curveball flashes plus, and has good arm speed and fade on developing changeup. <em>Prime Projection: </em>15/3.69/1.24/201 in 185 IP <strong>ETA: </strong>2023 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#121 &#8211; ranked around Leody Tavares, Brandon Marsh, and Justin Dunn.</p>

<p><strong>17) <a href="http://www.thebaseballcube.com/players/profile.asp?ID=206386" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Will Holland</a> </strong><em>SS, Auburn, 20.11 &#8211; </em>Plus power/speed combo who performed very well in his sophomore year in the SEC, slashing .313/.406/.530 with 12 homers and 9 steals. Has a very pronounced wide and low batting stance, and a 49/28 K/BB in 66 games shows his plate approach needs improvement. <em>Prime Projection: </em>84/20/79/.258/.334/.445/23 <strong>ETA: </strong>2022 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#128 &#8211; ranked around Oscar Mercado, Sandy Alcantara, DJ Stewart, and Cole Tucker.</p>

He has plus raw power with a patient approach at the plate that leads to high strikeout totals. At 6&#8217;4&#8221;, 205 pounds, the potential is there for him to turn into an absolute beast. <em>Prime Projection: </em>82/27/91/.262/.354/.476/4 <strong>ETA: </strong>2022 <strong>Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#133 &#8211; ranked around Luis Alexander Basabe, Austin Beck, and Zack Collins.</p>
<p><strong>19) Yolbert Sanchez </strong><em>SS, Cuba, 22.1 &#8211; </em>Slick fielding shortstop with plus speed and everything else still pretty much a mystery. His numbers in Cuba were unimpressive, although he was mostly a teenager and he rarely struck out. <em>Prime Projection: </em>78/15/75/.274/.331/.423/20 <strong>ETA: </strong>2021 <strong>2019 Top 472 Prospects Ranking: </strong>#149 &#8211; ranked around Nick Neidert, Logan Gilbert, and Akil Baddoo.</p>
