Majors – MiLB Analysis

Kyle Stowers *, OF, BAL

Welcome to the majors, Kyle Stowers. How’d you get here, and what do you bring to the table?

Josh Winckowski *, RHP, BOS

Rumor has it that Josh Winckowski will make his major league debut on Sunday, May 29 for a Red Sox double header. Just who is he? Glad you asked…

Chase Silseth *, RHP, LAA

When someone pegged as a bulk reliever starts mowing ’em down in Double-A, could he be a starter instead? Meet Chase Silseth.

Jeremy Peña *, SS, HOU

Jeremy Peña hit a home run in his first major league game. Where did he come from, and what can we expect of his talents?

Riley Greene *, OF, DET

Tigers fans, you’ve got a great one in Riley Greene.

Nick Lodolo *, LHP, CIN

Do not read this profile if the color green offends you.

Hans Crouse *, RHP, PHI

Hans Crouse made it all the way to the major leagues last season. Can he jump right into the Phillies rotation in 2022?

Janson Junk *, RHP, LAA

Janson Junk made it to the major leagues in 2021. Will he return in 2022?

JP Sears *, LHP, NYY

Stop me if you’ve heard this one before: the Yankees have another arm…

Steven Kwan *, OF, CLE

What a year Steven Kwan had! How much of that do we believe?

This past week saw the Rays make some deals to create more room on their 40-man roster, so they could, in part, add 23-year-old infielder Jonathan Aranda to that 40-man. When a team as loaded as the Rays tries to make room for you, you must be pretty good. Meet Mr. Aranda.

George Kirby *, RHP, SEA

Ready to meet your next great pitching prospect? Yes, I am talking to you, Mariners fans…

Juan Yepez*, 1B, STL

Some teenagers take the world by storm, but most teenagers are merely figuring out how to do the job they want to succeed at. The skills develop over time, and next thing you know you have a skilled worker. Meet former teenager Juan Yepez.

Vinnie Pasquantino*, 1B, KC

Some prospects pop up and people get all excited (SP, SS), and some prospects pop up and people look at their watches (1B). Here’s why those people can’t tell time.

Justin Steele *, LHP, CHC

With word that the Cubs will be bring up Justin Steele to be part of a six-man rotation, let’s see who the Cubs have in this left-hander.

Elehuris Montero *, 1B/3B, COL

One of the prospects brought over in the Arenado trade, Elehuris Montero has stepped up in a big way in 2021. Can we trust the numbers?

Bryson Stott *, SS, PHI

Bryson Stott could always hit, which is how he wound up a 1st-round pick by the Phillies. But the knock on him was that the raw power might not translate to game power, and his habit of expanding the strike zone by being athletic enough to reach for pitches waaay out of the zone mightContinue reading “Bryson Stott *, SS, PHI”

Alex Kirilloff *, OF, MIN

Called up this week to be the extra man for a doubleheader, 23-year-old Alex Kirilloff made his major league regular season debut starting in LF. What can we expect of Alex once he gets his regular chance in the majors?

Tucupita Marcano*, INF, PIT

After hitting .405/.479/.619 in 49 PA in spring training, 21-year-old Tucupita Marcano was a surprise addition to the Padres 26-man roster. In the first seven days of the regular season, Marcano had one plate appearance per game, where he cumulatively drew one walk and hit one single. Those two sentences tell you everything you needContinue reading “Tucupita Marcano*, INF, PIT”

Bobby Dalbec *, 1B, BOS

As I write this, 26-year-old Bobby Dalbec is hitting .300/.382/.833 in 34 PA in spring training. He had 92 PA in 2020, and is about to lose prospect status. What do the Red Sox have in this first baseman who looks to open the season batting ninth?

Ryan Mountcastle *, 1B/OF, BAL

24-year-old Ryan Mountcastle had a nice first season in the majors in 2020, but juuust avoided losing rookie eligibility. He should be a regular in the outfield for the Orioles in 2021, and maybe play 1B a little as well. What does the team have in this young player?
