To hear scouts tell it, Jordyn Adams was all raw potential, but then he set foot on the field and suddenly the numbers told a different story.

Ronny Mauricio, SS, NYM
One of the top international prospects signed in 2017, how has Ronny Mauricio done since then? Hint, we won’t be looking at the numbers too hard…
Logan Gilbert, RHP, SEA
Drafted in 2018 but missed his pro debut with mono, Logan Gilbert didn’t start pitching professionally until 2019. Then he started making up for lost time.
Trevor Larnach, OF, MIN
A Top 50 prospect, the former 1st-rounder had his first full season and made it all the way to Double-A. How did he do? Spoiler: He made it all the way to Double-A, duh.
Tarik Skubal, LHP, DET
Tigers fans have had little to root for in recent seasons, with most of the excitement being reserved for their minor league system. Particularly their pitcher prospects have been well thought of: Manning, Mize, Faedo, Wentz . . . and Skubal (?). Who is Tarik Skubal, and can he be as good as those otherContinue reading “Tarik Skubal, LHP, DET”
Bobby Witt, SS, KC
Please jump down to The Scouts section below. I’ll wait. OK, welcome back. Clearly Bobby Witt Jr., son of major leaguer Bobby Witt Sr., is a Top 30 prospect in all of baseball. The 2nd overall pick in the 2019 Amateur draft is Kansas City’s star prospect no matter what he briefly did on the field afterContinue reading “Bobby Witt, SS, KC”
Luis Campusano, C, SD
Chasing catcher prospects in the fantasy baseball world is often like a prospector’s eyes lighting up when sighting fool’s gold. It looks like the real thing, but it leaves you disappointed in the end. So when examining the stats of a catcher prospect, be careful… What makes Luis Campusano worthy of our attention? Let’s meet himContinue reading “Luis Campusano, C, SD”
Vidal Brujan, 2B, TAM
Recently I wrote about consensus Top 100 prospect Xavier Edwards of the Rays. Today let’s meet consensus Top 50 prospect Vidal Brujan of the Rays.
Ian Anderson, RHP, ATL
The #3 overall pick in the 2016 Draft is knocking on the door. What can we expect?
Jeter Downs, 2B/SS, BOS
He keeps getting traded in big deals, but Boston will be glad they wound up with this Jeter.
Brennen Davis, OF, CHC
After an injury-filled 2018, look what Davis did in 2019.
Matthew Allan, RHP, NYM
Not enough numbers to work with, but oh those scouting reports!
Aaron Bracho, 2B, CLE
Top International signee Aaron Bracho had a broken arm and missed all of 2018. What did 2019 bring?
Robert Puason, SS, OAK
This one’s going to be a bit different.
Oneil Cruz, SS, PIT
When you are this tall, you shouldn’t be playing SS, and yet…
Noelvi Marte, SS, SEA
Psst…want a hot tip? Get Noelvi Marte…why are you still reading this? Get him!
Brandon Marsh, OF, LAA
Trout, Adell, Marsh? Wow!
Francisco Alvarez, C, NYM
He was only 17, and he’s a catcher, so how much could we expect of him anyway? Well…
Nico Hoerner, SS, CHC
I ran a random number generator three times, and got 14, 8, and 5. I needed to find a prospect with a first name beginning with ‘N’ (the 14th letter of the alphabet), last name beginning with ‘H’ (the 8th letter), and in the Cubs organization (the 5th club, alphabetically). Thus, meet Nico Hoerner!
