Sweeney posted a slash line of .382/.522/.712 with 14 home runs and three stolen bases. If he can cut back on how many pitches he chases outside the zone, he has solid enough contact skills to hit around .270 to pair with that good power/speed blend.

I wouldnt draft him as my first pick in any FYPD because I am terrified of him, but as a second or even third selection I am more on board. He could even be up when the Pirates arent abysmal so there is a chance for some wins as well. Locklear hits the ball really hard, thats one thing he does do and he will need to do that to be a valuable fantasy asset.

Davis finished his collegiate career at Louisville with a 1.001 OPS and more walks than strikeouts. Wicks rounds out his arsenal with a slider and curve that are average pitches. Hes currently a plus or better runner and has already flashed above-average raw power at times too with exceptional bat speed.

The next two players are guys who you should move up your boards if you are in a competitive window and have a high pick. Overall, in my live look, Kudrna was head and shoulders above Mozzicato. Lee doesnt have any standout tool but he is a bunch of above-average tools all wrapped into a nice package. It is fair, but Kim came from the KBO which is a step down from the NPB. Instead of a 25-20 upside that I think Jones has, Cermak is in the 20 homers and 10-12 stolen-base bucket of players. The arsenal is crazy here with Porter, all of his pitches may very well end up being plus and he could end up being an SP2, its just going to take some time, patience, and some injury luck.

Fantasy Fallout: With Gavin Lux Out, Could A Sleeper Emerge? Gutierrez also has at least average speed as well. Regardless of his path, hes an exciting arm to follow. There is no denying Susac has big power, but the questions remain about his ability to make contact as well as his pitch selection.

Hes my 2nd favorite arm in this class behind Lesko. Jobe also mixes in a fading changeup that flashes plus thanks to the fade, sink, and velocity separation. (Chris), From: Louisville | Drafted By: Milwaukee Brewers (Traded to BOS), Originally drafted by Milwaukee, Alex Binelas came to the Red Sox at the trade deadline as one of the return pieces in the Hunter Renfroe deal. For those that saw him live during those outings, the reports were mostly positive with his slider looking sharp and the velocity returning to previous levels.

Whisenhunt missed all of his college season after testing positive for a banned substance and ended up falling to the second round. Hes got speed, and he will be able to pitch in with a handful of homers here and there. He should move relatively quickly, I think at the moment I will let someone else take the chance on him, and at this price that will probably happen well before I am willing to take him. He showed off big power this year when he hit 27 home runs. He also has a cannon for an arm and when he pitches can reach 97 mph with his fastball. Top Prospects by Position Catchers First Basemen Second Basemen Shortstops Third Basemen Outfielders Toman might not provide the speed we are all craving but I think at third he will provide the power we want.

Gilbert hits the ball extremely hard but puts it on the ground too often. The all-around profile is very good, but I think hes more of a high-end #3 starter longterm. 28. Hes the best non Senga pitcher in this draft and he provides about as much floor as you can expect from a pitching prospect. I just have questions about the hit tool, and if he cant make solid contact then the power and speed are nice but ultimately wont play as well in the fantasy game. I have read that some think Davis struggles against breaking pitches and will be exploited there against big league pitching, but five of his 15 home runs this season came against breaking pitches.

There will be years where he hits .270 with 25 jacks and pitches in with 10 stolen-bases. Much like 2020 UCLA draftee Garrett Mitchell, I do not think McLain is getting the respect he deserves. He also improved his BB and K rates significantly this spring. He is one of the more well-rounded players in the international signing class. Termarr Johnson, 2B Pittsburgh Pirates. This year, one of those players was Spencer Jones. Think like 20 homers, 10-12 stolen-bases, maybe a .260 average. Can I take him late? When he isnt giving fans the bird, Jordan Beck is an exciting player who in Coors could be even more exciting. . But in this scenario if you told me he never progressed past Double-A because of his hit-tool, I also wouldnt be too shocked. (Eric), From: Arkansas | Drafted By: Chicago Cubs, While his slide to the 4th round was puzzling, theres plenty to be excited about for fantasy purposes when it comes to Christian Franklin. His stuff got better, his fastball velocity ticked up, and he added a slider. Thanks for noticing Should be all set now. Those two are safer, but Jobe has the highest upside of any pitcher in this draft class in my eyes. I dont think he is that, but from what he did show in 21 he can get swings and misses with his stuff and thats good enough.

The improvements transferred to the majors with a very reasonable 26.6% whiff% and 25.8% K%. Given that Bednar is a draft-eligible sophomore, there is not a long track record outside of this season. Hes advanced, shows a good changeup and has a nice homeball park if he makes it to the majors. (Clegg), Drafted: #109 Overall | From: Orchard Lake St. Marys (NY), When Brock Porter fell in the draft, many wondered if he would sign or fulfill his Clemcom commitment. Jordan Lawlar, SS.
