前20都有B 襪襪快來選人惹 1) Dansby Swanson, SS, Grade A: Age 22, still eligible for rookie consideration just under the limit at 129 at-bats; should hit for average (.280-.300 and occasionally higher) and get on base, provide speed and occasional power with the defensive chops to remain at shortstop; obviously nothing left to prove in the minors after strong run down the stretch. ETA 2017. 2) Ozzie Albies, INF, Grade A-: Age 19, excellent in Double-A (.321/.391/.467) but weaker after moving up to Triple-A (.248/.307/.351) though very young for the level; should be excellent defender at second base and can still play shortstop if needed; high-batting average contact hitter with speed and may develop more gap power than commonly anticipated. ETA: late 2017. 3) Kolby Allard, LHP, Grade B+/A-: Age 19, posted 2.98 ERA in 88 innings between rookie ball and Low-A, 95/25 K/BB; fastball at 90-94 with more possible, features plus curveball and a change-up with promise, needs some additional command tightening but that’s normal for his age and his feel for pitching is generally very good; possible number two starter down the line; ETA 2020. 4) Mike Soroka, RHP, Grade B+: Age 19, posted 3.02 ERA with 125/32 K/BB in 143 innings in Low-A, 130 hits; excellent control of low-90s sinker, very solid breaking ball and change-up, command also very sharp, stuff not quite as electric as Allard’s but matches or exceeds him in polish; projects as number three starter with a chance for more. ETA: 2020. 5) Sean Newcomb, LHP, Grade B+: Age 23, 3.86 ERA with 152/71 K/BB in 140 innings in Double-A, 113 hits; power lefty up to 97 with a plus curve and developing change-up, excellent strikeout and hit rates confirm the stuff but control and command remains shaky, though he flashed improvement in some later outings; you can make a good case to put him a spot or two higher. Will probably need a full year of Triple-A. ETA: late 2017. 6) Max Fried, LHP, Grade B+: Age 22, 3.93 ERA with 112/47 K/BB in 103 innings in Low-A, 87 hits, nice recovery season from Tommy John surgery and was especially effective late in the season; fastball at 91-95, change-up still needs some work but curveball and slider have developed well; struck out 52 in last 39 innings in the regular season. Another guy who could be an above-average to excellent pitcher for a long time. ETA: 2019. 7) Ian Anderson, RHP, Grade B/B+: Age 18, first round pick in 2016, third-overall, from high school in New York; 2.04 ERA in 40 innings in rookie ball with 36/12 K/BB; low-to-mid-90s fastball from 6-3, 170 frame; slider and change-up can be inconsistent but are solid for his age; number three starter projection is a bit cautious at this point but I want to see how he handles a workload. ETA: 2021. 8) Kevin Maitan, SS, Grade B: Age 16, signed for $4,250,000 out of Venezuela, hasn’t played yet; scouting reports praise his power potential, feel for hitting, and strong throwing arm; physical tools (except running speed) are excellent and he could be a superstar eventually if reports on his feel for the game are accurate; let’s see how he performs before going all-in on the grade but an extremely high ceiling is undeniable. ETA: 2020. 9) Ronald Acuna, OF, Grade B: Age 18, hit .311/.387/.432 in 148 at-bats in Low-A limited by thumb injury; doesn’t have Maitan’s overall offensive potential but he’s performed very well at a young age; speed is best tool and he has shown good pop from 6-0, 180 build as well as some command of the strike zone; I’d like a larger sample size but you can make a good case that this grade is too low and he may ultimately go up a notch by spring. ETA: 2020. 10) Touki Toussaint, RHP, Grade B: Age 20, 3.88 ERA with 128/71 K/BB in 132 innings in Low-A, 105 hits; fastball in mid-90s and wicked breaking ball make him very tough when his command is working but control issues still hold him back at times, although adjustments to his delivery helped some over the summer; could be front-of-rotation starter if it all comes together, or a power reliever, but there are still a wide range of potential outcomes here. ETA: 2020. 11) Austin Riley, 3B, Grade B/B-: Age 19, supplemental first round pick in 2015, hit .271/.342/.479 with 39 doubles, 20 homers, 39 walks, 147 strikeouts in 495 at-bats in Low-A; 55 or 60 power but with questions about contact and batting average as he moves up; strong throwing arm but defense is otherwise rather raw; ETA: 2020. 12) Joey Wentz, LHP, Grade B-/B: Age 18, supplemental first round pick in 2016 from high school in Kansas, 1.32 ERA in 27 innings in rookie ball, 33/5 K/BB; excellent debut but pre-draft stock had taken a hit due to inconsistent velocity; can hit mid-90s but was mostly 88-89 in pro ball though with effective command and control of his breaking stuff and off-speed pitch. Want to see if he stays healthy. ETA: 2021. 13) Christian Pache, OF, Grade B-: Age 17, signed out of Dominican Republic in 2015 for $1,400,000; hit .309/.349/.391 in 220 at-bats in rookie ball; no homers but hit seven triples; 70-grade runner with a chance to hit if he can sharpen up inconsistent hitting mechanics; very young obviously and another high ceiling. ETA: 2021. 14) Rob Whalen, RHP, Grade B-: Age 22, excellent in Double-A/Triple-A (2.40, 112/44 in 120 innings, 99 hits) but hit hard at times in five major league starts (6.57, 25/12 K/BB in 25 innings) but maintained strikeout pace; season ended early with shoulder fatigue; deceptive approach with good change-up and a fastball around 90, back-end starter projection. ETA: 2017. 15) Patrick Weigel, RHP, Grade B-: Age 22, 6-6 right-hander drafted from University of Houston in seventh round in 2015; 2.47 ERA in 150 innings between Low-A and Double-A with 152/55 K/BB, 101 hits; extremely low hit rate stands out, good low-90s sinker but breaking stuff and command need more polish; could be inning-eating workhorse or perhaps a bullpen mainstay if off-speed stuff remains erratic. ETA 2018. 16) Max Povse , RHP, Grade B-: Age 23, huge 6-8 right-hander with fastball at 91-95, 3.36 ERA with 139/29 K/BB in 158 innings between High-A and Double-A; will mix in very good change-up and an average curveball; like Weigel he could be an inning-eating horse but has a lot of competition coming up behind him; third round pick in 2014 from UNC-Greensboro. ETA: 2018. 17) Travis Demeritte, 2B, Grade B-: Age 22, acquired from Rangers in summer trade; hit .266/.361/.557 with 28 homers, 17 steals, 67 walks, 175 strikeouts in 455 at-bats in High-A; very athletic with exciting power but also has a PED suspension on his resume; defense at second base has been very good; contact issues, batting average and OBP remain biggest questions going forward. ETA: 2019. 18) John Gant, RHP, Grade B-: Age 24, posted 4.86 ERA in 50 innings in the major leagues with 49/21 K/BB but apparently still considered a rookie by MLB; not flashy but has a three-pitch mix with 88-94 MPH fastball, change-up, curve; in my view he is capable of cutting that ERA by at least a run if given a chance but will have to solidify his hold on a job quickly. ETA; 2017. 19) Kyle Muller, LHP, Grade B-: Age 19, second round pick in 2016, 0.65 ERA with 38/12 K/BB in 28 innings in rookie ball, just 14 hits; 90-94 MPH fastball with a chance for more from 6-6, 225 build; command, curveball and change-up all need work but rookie ball hitters couldn’t square him up very often; high upside arm but needs innings. ETA: 2021. 20) Lucas Sims, RHP, Grade B-: Age 22, has been on prospect lists for years but still young, strong in Double-A (2.67 ERA, 101/55 K/BB in 91 innings, just 64 hits) but hit hard in Triple-A (7.56, 58/37 in 50 innings, 56 hits) due to command troubles; fastball can be explosive and both curveball and change-up flash quality but he has to throw more strikes; needs to take advantage of any window soon. ETA: late 2017. GRADE C+ PROSPECTS: Derian Cruz, SS; Ray Patrick Didder, OF; Caleb Dirks, RHP; Chris Ellis, RHP; Jared James, OF; A.J. Minter, LHP; Akeel Morris, RHP; Dustin Peterson, OF; Rio Ruiz, 3B; Yunior Severino, SS; Jacob Webb, RHP; Bryse Wilson, RHP; Matt Withrow, RHP GRADE C PROSPECTS: Braxton Davidson, OF; Lyke Dykstra, 2B; Lucas Herbert, C; Kyle Kinman, LHP; Taylor Lewis, RHP; Michael Mader, LHP; Jonathan Morales, C; Dylan Moore, INF; Phil Pheifer, LHP; Ricardo Sanchez, LHP; Kade Scivique, C; Chad Sobotka, RHP; Braulio Vasauez, SS; Randy Ventura, INF; Jeremy Walker, RHP; Isranel Wilson, OF; Juan Yepez, 1B There is obviously an incredible amount of depth in this system, as is commonly seen. The pitching depth is incredible, though keep in mind the Rule of Five: for every five pitching prospects you have, you’re doing well if you get one actual pitcher. Hitting-wise, you have Swanson and Albies at the top and intriguing tools guys like Acuna, Pache, and Maitan at the lower levels but not much in the middle unless you are particularly optimistic that Riley and Demeritte will deal well with their contact issues. Overall, a very deep system. -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc), 來自: 175.180.169.193 ※ 文章網址: https://www.ptt.cc/bbs/Braves/M.1479516901.A.409.html
