If they can, he suddenly becomes much more interesting. Robert Gasser - LHP (Padres, 1st Base and Auto, 71/108) - The left-hander out of the University of Houston was the Padres Comp B round pick which was evidence of his hard work he has put in to build up from an uninteresting relief arm that's bounced through a couple of stops to a potential back end of the rotation starter.

Doesn't have a slam dunk home on the infield, but should be able to play both second and third base as well as shortstop in a pinch. Granted that is a small percentile outcome which is why I will have Carson in my Tier Two for now, but he's near the top of my list of guys I want to see more of. He went from a low 90s fastball that looked relatively straight in 2020 to a 93-94 with movement. Guessing that was more to keep him in the program and doing something as he wasn't going to put any more innings on his arm, like almost every other prep arm from the draft. Total Cards: 150. .

Spencer Schwellenbach - RHP (Braves, 1st Base and Auto, 59/56) - The two-way player at Nebraska finally got back to pitching in his final season in college, albeit all out of the bullpen, following arm surgery after high school. To a lesser degree, he wont be a plus on the defensive side of the ball, which will likely restrict him to a LF only role. Daylen Lile - OF (Nationals, 1st Base only, 47/29) - The ability to field all outfield spots in a pinch, but mostly profiles as a left fielder with underwhelming arm strength. Without the power behind that profile, he's easily in Tier None until further development. Slider and changeup would flash but also were part of his command woes. Matt Mikulski - LHP (Giants, 1st Base and Auto, 50/51) - The lefty arm from Fordham took a huge leap from undrafted in 2020 to be the Giants second rounder in 2021. Also has a slider which I didn't see. A utility infielder, strong side platoon floor with an outside shot as an everyday regular. Not sure if there are any plus tools yet to his game, but enough promise with the hit and power tools for me to put him into the back half of Tier 3. Being a right handed bat, that creates short side platoon concerns. Like many of the Bowman newcomers, Kahlil Watson has big time upside and is one of the top prospects in a strong Miami Marlins farm system. 2023 Top 200 Draft Prospects 2023 Top 100 College Prospects .

Jackson Merrill - SS (Padres, 1st Base only, 27/69) - Off the top with Merrill, be aware that his photo on his card is not him, and is speculated that it is Isaac Frye, a showcase teammate at some point previously (thanks Topps). Not a lot of video available, but what I did see was promising with a short and quick lofted power swing. Projectable frame with strong command, minus the injury, he would be in consideration for the top of Tier Two as a potential frontline SP. Definitely a player to watch to see if he can lessen that swing and miss. Above average, potentially plus, hit tool that can sneak in some average power and should be able to reach double-digit steals. Bowman Draft Picks & Prospect Die-Cuts: NEW! Ty Madden - RHP (Tigers, 1st Base only, 32/13) - The Tigers Comp A pick out of the University of Texas has the prototypical starting pitcher frame featuring a plus slider and an above-average fastball that he runs up into the high 90s. Has the arm and glove to be able to stick at third base. Watching a start of his against a good Low A squad in the Carolina Mudcats, he was leaning heavily on it and more often than not was getting a lot of swing and misses with it. His splits at the complex appear to back up what I am seeing, hitting both of his home runs from the left-hand side while hitting for better average from the right-hand side. The opening Bowman checklist of the season is a fairly strong one. Most of the Futures Game stars have. It looked decent and he threw a lot of strikes, but I didn't see anything special that would push him out of the Tier None conversation for now. A high-risk Tier 1 player for me given the missing ingredient, but that power speed archetype that Montgomery possesses in spades can be hobby gold. This pushes me into putting him into the bottom of Tier 3 rather than Tier None where I would stick most prep arms. Really raw from a pitching standpoint. On the plus side, he has strong plate skills in that he rarely strikes out and regularly puts up high OBP marks. While he lead the Big Ten in strikeouts in 2021, the big (6'5") lefty from the University of Michigan has a collection of average to above-average pitches. 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball - Top Picks | Real Sportscards Throws strikes and has an effective three-pitch mix. Doug Nikhazy - LHP (Guardians, 1st Base and Auto, 58/44) - Reliable left-hander with a ton of personality that went to one of the best pitching dev orgs in baseball.

And while that may be the case, he hasn't shown the dominant stuff you would imagine when looking at him at 6'6" and 235 pounds. It seemed like most hitters were laying off of it and he wasn't able to get many called strikes with it.

This is purely a prospect product. Additional fastball velocity and/or increased development of his other secondaries will cement his big league status and I am betting on the Brewers dev org to do just that. But without an elite hobby skill, he is on that threshold of Tier None/Tier 3. All in all, a prep catcher that will stick behind the dish with solid but not spectacular hit and power and a plus plate approach is going to be on the borderline of Tier 3 and Tier None. The main difference will be with the inserts and exclusive parallels. High-floor low ceiling backend starting pitchers are an easy slot into Tier None which is where I have Marceaux. Henry Davis - C (Pirates, 1st Base and Auto, 1/3) - Going to be very hard to put the top overall draft pick anywhere but Tier 1 or Tier 2 (unless the player's name is Mickey Moniak). Does 2021 Bowman Draft live up to those expectations? Ky Bush - LHP (Angels, 1st Base and Auto, 45/73) - Angels 2nd Rounder out of St. Mary's College cuts an imposing figure on the mound at 6'5" and 250 pounds.

Best Baseball Cards To Collect 2022 (Prospects & New Releases) Chase Petty - RHP (Twins, 1st Base and Auto, 26/22) - While Jobe is the best prep pitcher in the draft, Chase Petty may be the most electric. An average breaker that sometimes shows as a slider and sometimes as a curve with a fringe changeup completes his arsenal. Add in the speed component and an above-average hit tool and you squint and see a five-tool player. No standout tools and already older than his counterparts, he probably ends up as a strong side platoon or 4th outfielder type role. The rarely seen, if ever, in baseball tidbit to Steinmetz is that he is an Orthodox Jew, so that will likely get some regular mentions as he works his way up the minors. Lacking any further info, I am going to stick him in Tier None and make a point to get more looks at him in 2022 to see if there is a reason he didn't make it into the Prospects Live top 600 draft prospects pre-draft but was taken in the 4th round by the Diamondbacks besides getting a savings of almost $200K. With a full-time focus on baseball, he has the chance to unlock the coveted five-tool player archetype. Left hander that is more bat than glove that could also play third base or possibly some outfield in the future, but average power tool likely keeps him more valuable at second base or perhaps center field. Chad Dallas - RHP (Blue Jays, 1st Base only, 121/185) - Backend starter profile that is the classic pitchability right-hander. At present, he is average to above average across the board, but he is by no means a finished product. His command looked to be an issue as he regularly missed his spots in the videos I watched. Every MLB Team's Most Impressive Prospect in 2021 An easy Tier None choice for now, but I can squint and see a potential mid-rotation, Tier 3 starting pitcher at some point in his future. You will see the players overall drafted position and then their ranking in our Top 600 MLB Draft Prospects - so for Marcelo Mayer, this will be 4/1.

Missing an effective third pitch. While he spins the fastball, it's not as effective as one would think, and his tall, lanky frame (6'5") has mechanical/delivery concerns. Chrome Prospect Autographs are also available in 16 different parallels. It was only 11 games, but it wasn't a great look and I will focus on him as a pitcher rather than a hitter or two-way player. Go watch him mow down Vandy with 13 strikeouts in the Super Regional if you want to see how good he can be against a quality group of hitters. Has a changeup as his third pitch in the arsenal that shows promise but has a long way to go. Add in a highly collectible team in the Red Sox and that makes him the top Tier 1 guy for me. That puts me in a conundrum of whether to bump CES up to Tier 2 based on performance or Tier 3 based on tools. Mostly leans on a plus low to mid 90's fastball with arm-side run and rise coupled with a plus sweeping slider. He leads with an eye-popping fastball in the upper 90's that can touch triple digits that lives mostly in the middle to upper half of the zone and has some arm side tail. I am going with the bottom of Tier 3 for him but would caution anyone interested here to be very aware of the downside. I have broken down these 1st prospects into four tiers based on a combination of my perception of hobby interest and my own personal long-term hobby outlook. The biggest drawback is that he may not get to more than 15-ish home runs. When it comes to prospect products, the 1st Bowman logo is all that and then some. That potentially becomes a problem with his biggest negative is his lack of power at the moment with bottom tier max velo numbers - not great when power is one of the bigger pre-requisites for first base. If he can't, he focuses on upping the fastball velocity and becoming a two-pitch high leverage reliever. Finally, real life baseball value, fantasy baseball value, and hobby value arent always the same. I am making an exception because his fastball is seriously special. Both pitches are easily thrown for strikes and get plenty of swing and misses. Due to the general lack of information/video and what is likely a raw prep RHP, I am putting him in Tier None and making a note to check him out further in 2022. Ended up going in the 4th round to the White Sox on an underslot deal after an up and down final college season including a month of downtime mid-season. His command needs a fair amount of work, but he lived all around the edges of the zone even when he was missing which is promising. Perhaps capitalizing on that, the Brewers traded him, David Hamilton, and Jackie Bradley Jr. to the Red Sox for Hunter Renfroe (Binelas is in a Brewers uniform/listed as on the Brewers in the product). Has the skill set to stick behind the plate, but given his athletic profile, it is regularly speculated that he ends up somewhere else on the field by the time he gets to the big league. Will the real Alex Binelas please stand up? That has me putting him in Tier None, but I wouldn't fault anyone for thinking that he is more of a Tier 3 pitcher giving the physical projection, strikeout gains, and Cleveland secret sauce. Jordan McCants - SS (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 88/152) - Marlins 3rd selection out of the Florida prep ranks is a double plus runner and not much else. If we see Bednar trending towards relief, he still has an opportunity to be in a high leverage role, but the hobby interest would drop to Tier 3 at best, but most likely to Tier None. New Price eBay. He's an easy Tier None call for the moment but someone to keep an eye on because the raw stuff is there to become a lot more. That translates to a Tier None player with a small percentile outcome to reach Tier 3. He also wont steal many bases. He tended to mostly throw this to his arm side and was inconsistent with location from what I saw. Right now, I can easily see a future high leverage bullpen arm or an SP4. 2022 Bowman Baseball Top Prospect Prices Are Off the Charts Evaluating The Best Prospects In 2021 Bowman Chrome Prospect rankings are based on scouting grades and narrative reports for each player.

Aaron Zavala - OF (Rangers, 1st Base and Auto, 38/93) - The Pac-12 Player of the Year has a whole lot going for him and I like it. Ryan Cusick - RHP (Braves, 1st Base and Auto, 24/24) - The Braves 1st round selection out of Wake Forest throws gas and has all of the under the cover stats to support what is overall a double plus fastball.
