2011 MLB.com's Top 50 Prospects: No. 16 Wil …
Wil Myers, C
2010 Rank: 33
Drafted: 2009, 3rd (91)
ETA in Majors: 2012
Statistically speaking:
Hitting a combined .315/.429/.506 in his first full season across two
levels is impressive enough. Myers did, after all, finish fifth in the
Minors in OBP. But when you take out his .232/.293/.439 April, it approaches
scary status. Following that opening month, Myers didn't hit under .300 in
any month and hit .334/.457/.529 the rest of the way. That .457 OBP would
have been good for second in the Minors.
Scouting report:
Myers was one of the more intriguing high school bats in the Draft class
of 2009, and he's more than lived up to that advanced billing. He's got
great bat speed, which should continue to generate more power than he's
already shown. His plate discipline is much more advanced than most hitters
his age, and he should hit for plenty of average in the future. His bat
isn't his question; his ultimate defensive home is. While he's athletic and
has a strong arm, his overall catching game has developed slowly, and there's
some merit to thinking that a move to the outfield would speed his path
to the big leagues.
Upside potential:
A middle-of-the-order run-producing, on-base machine, joining Mike Moustakas
and Eric Hosmer as a very dangerous, and fun-to-watch, trio.
They said it: "He has very good bat speed and excellent plate discipline.
He definitely exceeded expectations last year" -- J.J. Picollo, assistant
GM/scouting and player development
He said it: "The quality of pitches, they know where they're throwing it. In
high school, their offspeed was usually down the middle and you could take
advantage of that, but here they can work you in and out. Everybody's good
out here." -- on the adjustment to pro ball
