1. Jason Heyward (OF, ATL)....Age:20....6'4, 220#.....2007 (1) Ridewood, NJ. Strengths: Athleticism. Plus bat speed/plus power/BA ability. Strike zone judgment. Arm strength. Weaknesses: Speed (4.3). Average range. Comments: Heyward has a much raw talent as any prospect in baseball. He is tall and projectable and should hit for both plus power and good average. He has plus bat speed, squares the ball up consistently, and has a compact, powerful stroke, and excellent plate disciplne for a big power hitter. Heyward uses the entire field and has power enough to drive the ball out to all fields. Defensively he covers ground well and has a strong, accurate throwing arm. His approach is advanced for age/level. He runs well underway, and possesses above average arm strength and solid-average range in RF. MLB Debut: 2010. Potential Rating: 9A 2. Freddie Freeman (OF, ATL)....Age: 20.....6'5, 220#......2007 (2) Fountain Valley HS, CA Strengths: Strength. Bat speed/power/BA ability. Plate discipline. Arm strength Weaknesses: Contact ability. Speed/agility Comments: Strong-framed hitter with natural strength, bat speed, and uppercut swing that generates pole-to-pole power. Improved plate discipline should keep BA strong. Cut down on K% in 09, though OB% leaves room for improvement. Lacks speed/agility, but improved defense where he has soft hands and arm strength. Struggled after being promoted to Double-A - which shows he needs additional season at this level in 2010. MLB Debut: 2012 Potential Rating: 9D 3. Julio Teheran (RHP, ATL)…..Age: 19….6'2", 150#.....2007 NDFA (D.R.) Strengths: Plus 79-82 MPH change-up, 92-96 MPH fastball, and 75-79 MPH curveball. Command. Setting up pitches. Athletic/projectable frame. Weaknesses: Arm action. Effort to delivery. Poise. Stamina (shoulder). Comments: Athletic pitcher whose pitchability belies his age, as his command and ability to changes speeds are plus. FB has both velocity and movement, and can drop CB for strikes. Will need to be more poised. Shoulder tendinitis limited him to 81.1 IP in 09 and durability continues to be an area of concern, but the long-term upside remains significant whether as a reliever or a stater. MLB Debut: 2012. Potential Rating: 9E 4. Mike Minor (LHP, ATL)....Age: 22....6'3", 200#.....2009 (1) Vanderbilt. Strengths: 88-92 MPH fastball. 78-80 change-up. 75-78 MPH curveball. Savvy/polished. Weaknesses: Lack of DOM. Comments: One of the more polished and savvy college pitchers available in this year's draft. Fastball is solid/average and sits in the 88-92 range. Also has a plus change-up and good curve and keeps hitters off balance. Best tool is that he can spot all of his offerings where he wants to. Does not have the high upside of many other likely 1st rounders, but he knows how to pitch and should develop into a solid mid-rotation starter - think Jeremy Sowers but maybe a little better. 2010 MLB Role: Potential 5th starter by September 2010. Rating Potential: 8B 5. Christian Bethancourt (C, ATL)....B/R...T/R.....Age: 17....6'2, 175#....2008 (NDFA - $600,000 bonus) Panama. Strengths: Strong throwing arm. Bat speed. Athleticims. Power potential. Weaknesses: Speed. Accuracy on throws. Still raw. Comments: Played in the LL World Series in 2004. Athletic catcher with a quick release (1.8), but nailed only 27% of base runners. At the plate he used a short, compact stroke to drive the ball well to all fields and should add power as he matures. He has decent speed and stole 8 bases in 9 attempts. Hit a combined .277/.342/.446 between the GCL and the Appliachian League with decent plate discipline. MLB Debut: 2013. Potential Rating: 9D 6. Zeke Spruill (RHP, ATL)….. Age: 20, 6’3”/185#.....2008 (2-S) Marietta, GA. Strengths: 88-92 MPH two-seam fastball and 76-83 MPH slurve. Command. Arm action. Tall/projectable frame. Weaknesses: Repeating arm speed on 79-82 MPH change-up. Stamina Comments: Tall/projectable pitcher with long/smooth arm action and the intelligence to attack hitters. Nice breakout season for Spruill in 09 (8-6 with a 3.03 ERA,29BB/119K in the SAL). FB moves well and project more velocity, and though his SU is tough to hit, he may have to tweak it to a SL or CB. Stamina will be an issue until he matures and will need to repeat arm speed for CU. MLB Debut: 2012. Potential Rating: 8D 7. Craig Kimbrel (RHP, ATL)…..Age: 22....5'11', 205#.....2008 (3) Wallace State CC. Strengths: 90-97 MPH four-seam fastball and 83-84 MPH slider. Quick arm action. Aggressiveness Weaknesses: Deception of change-up. Command. Comments: Short/strong-framed reliever was virtually untouchable in two of his three stops in 09. Has a fierce fastball and a slider that freezes RH batters from a low ¾ slot. Generates groundball outs despite pitching up with four-seamer, but will need to improve command and develop a CU for LH batters. Was easily one of the more dominant relievers in the minors in 09, posting a DOM rate of 15.5 (103K in 60IP) and proved equally difficult to hit (.150 oppBAA). MLB Debut: 2011 Potential Rating: 9D 8. David Hale (RHP, ATL)….Age: 22….6'2", 200#.....2009 (3) Princeton. Strengths: 93-96 MPH fastball. Athleticism. 84-87 MPH slider. Weaknesses: Deception of change-up. Raw/inexperienced for a college pitcher. Comments: Athletic college hurler that has a very good, heavy mid-90s fastball and potentially good slider. Slider needs to be more consistent and change-up need more seperation and consistency. Potential big time arm from the Ivy League is rare and he did not get a lot of exposure leading up to the 09 draft, but scouts like his raw stuff. Will need to become more refined to remain as a starter. MLB Debut: 2012. Potential Rating: 9E. 9. J.J. Hoover (RHP, ATL)....Age: 22.....6'3", 215#.....2008 (10) Calhoun, CC. Strengths: 90-94 MPH sinking fastball. Curveball. Control. Weaknesses: Lack of movement on FB and CB. Lack of 3rd quality pitch. Comments: Former CC prospect put up eye-popping numbers, but was not young for Low-A (22). Strike-throwing machine and overmatched hitters in the SAL, but lack of movement on CB and FB and lack of third quality pitch could limit long-term development. Still - showed plus control and excellent CMD (150K/30BB in 09) and could succeed if he can maintain plus control. Double-A will be a good test in 2010. MLB Debut: 2011. Potential Rating: 8B. 10. Adam Milligan (OF, ATL)…B/L…T/R....Age: 21…..6'3", 210#.....2008 (6) Walters CC, TN. Strengths: Strength/athleticism. Weaknesses: Durability/injury concerns (knee surgery in 08). Strike zone judgement. Contact ability. Comments: Strong bodied JuCo of prospect had an impressive professional debut and could be a steal as an 8th rounder. Hit for average and power, though plate discipline was substandard. Has average speed and arm strength and should be a competent defender, but the bat will be his ticket to the majors is plate discipline doesn't erode avg too much. MLB Debut: 2012.
