Low 90's fastball needs to add some velocity and a lot of command, but has some nice arm-side horizontal break. He was more of a corner player and shifted over to catching as a freshman in high school, so it's definitely possible for him to move back out to a corner. 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. The Alabama prep lefty throws a low to mid 90s fastball with a hard slider and a decent curveball. 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. He seemed to work the middle to arm side of the plate against right-handers and most anything that ended up on the inside to righties ended up at their feet. On with the show! *Catchers and Pitchers are often knocked down a tier just due to their position. 2021. Wes Kath - 3B (White Sox, 1st Base and Auto, 57/33) - The White Sox second-round pick out of the Arizona prep ranks was a shortstop in high school but has pushed out to third base in his first pass through pro ball. Profiles best at second base given his size and arm strength, but could play shortstop if needed. Not much power to speak of at the moment and an above-average hit tool with decent feel at the plate where he will take a walk and wont chase. With the inherent risk of prep righty profiles, he goes into the bucket of similar profiles in Tier None with a firm "watch list" designation. Bowman 1st Edition teased the hobby with a limited release one month ago but now collectors can finally dive into a full checklist of top prospects. Given his frame, I would be surprised if he sticks at first base - he has DH written all over him and the Dan Vogelbach/Rowdy Tellez comps are likely going to be a regular occurrence. Normally this type of back end starter/bullpen arm would be a Tier None player, but given the strength of his changeup and his willingness to deploy it any time anywhere, he gets pushed into the bottom of Tier 3. As I always say, prospects are the most volatile and highest risk/reward part of the hobby. Command and control is his game and letting hitters make mistakes rather than having a ton of raw stuff.

From there you can also add a Card to your collection or wishlist. Jackson Wolf - LHP (Padres, 1st Base only, 129/475) - The 4th year Senior left-hander out of West Virginia was a starter in college but projects more as a bullpen arm. He's got an inverted front leg batting stance that just looks uncomfortable and I wonder over time if that has to be adjusted simply due to the wear and tear on catcher's knees and ankles. All in all, a defense-first Tier None player that will need to take big strides with the bat in his hand to move up the Tiers. Currently, it looks like his personal approach is that during the Sabbath (sundown Friday to sundown Saturday), he will pitch, but has to be able to walk to the ballpark. 2021 Bowman card list & price guide. On the smaller side at the moment, you hope he adds just a bit more size to really cement his ability to stick at short, but 2B is a definite long-term possibility. March 2, 2023. Changeup wasn't great and he has trouble commanding it in the looks I had.

Hit tool may only be above average at peak depending on how much he focuses on power over hit. Fastball lives in the low 90's with the slider in the mid-80's as his best secondary. He is a front-end starter if he does. With the catcher penalty, I am going to stick him in Tier 2, but don't mind those that see him in their personal top Tier. This will include autos from the Black and White RayWave subset, a 1/1 offering. Other than building innings, there isn't much more he can do unless the Yankees can squeeze some more fastball velocity out of his arm. His main secondary that I saw him throwing was a curveball followed by a tight slider. It also seemed like he was a bit over-matched at the complex level. Lacking the collectible team bump and round 1 draft pick bump, the risky righty prep pitcher profile is going to keep Morales in Tier None. 2019 Bowman Platinum Wal-Mart Top Prospects Wander Franco RC #TOP-9; . That said, Watson has swing-and-miss concerns (42 K% in Low-A) and slipped in the draft due to make-up and signability concerns. McCade Brown - RHP (Rockies, 1st Base and Auto, 79/94) - The Rockies third-round pick is the epitome of one of the major archetypes of the Tier 3 pitcher - upside with physical projection and potential plus pitches that should equal a mid-rotation starter or better but lacking command and control to harness those talents. Adrian Del Castillo - C (Diamondbacks, 1st Base and Auto, 67/52) - Was widely considered a top 10 pick prior to the season, Del Castillo had a tough 2021 with the University of Miami and continued that trend in Low A ball for the Diamondbacks after they made him a 2nd round pick.

Tier 2 - Bats that may lack in a certain area such as top-end power, three true outcomes players, maybe great real life/fantasy players, but not hobby-elite, or tantalizing raw talents. Some people think so given his exit velocity numbers, but a more lofted swing path is likely needed and that may not be worth a potential ding to his high-end hit tool. . The only one I got a good look at was the curveball, which had really nice 12-6 break to it. Above-average hit tool and plus power with a strong plate approach highlight his tool set. The third-rounder out of NC State has a good floor but not really a high ceiling with the most likely outcome of a utility player that can play a majority of the positions on the diamond. I saw him struggle a lot with pitches up in the zone. 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball Jumbo Box Configuration: 12 packs per box. Brady House - SS (Nationals, 1st Base only, 11/6) - One of the more well-known names in this draft class as he's been on the radar and considered as a 1st rounder for quite a while. 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. DESIGN The slider and the curveball are the best of those and are his most effective pitches. However, a groundball rate above 50% and what appears to be an average hit tool at the moment along with the risk of having to potentially slide him over to third base drags down the previously mentioned positives. Shane Panzini - RHP (Royals, 1st Base and Auto, 108/113) - Along with the Royals second and third-round picks, Shane Panzini was another overslot signer, this time in the fourth round with the Royals spreading around that seventh overall pick money around. That may be a tall task with the current state of Rockies player development, but fingers crossed it happens. Most of your favorite team's first round picks are also in here - Colton Cowser, Frank Mozzicato, Sal Frelick, Gunnar Hoglund, etc. Slider is the out pitch. 2018 through 2020 Bowman Draft easily provided 10 to 15 prospects to chase per release plus a variety of the standard fare lottery tickets inherent in a prospect product.

I like this profile a lot for the hobby and I'm going to go with my gut and put him at the bottom half of Tier 2 even though my head tells me he is more of a top of Tier 3 player with the lack of walks and strikeout tendency. This is a high-risk ranking, so buyer beware. Another in a long line of prep arms in this product that I will be keeping an eye on to see if they can jump up the lists and Tiers, but for now with the risk and rawness inherent to these profiles, he's going to be in Tier None. T.J. White - 1B/OF (Nationals, 1st Base and Auto, 143/399) - The South Carolina prep outfielder has a nice athletic frame with a muscular lower half that generates plus power but plenty of swing and miss. If he can go from high teens home run power to high twenties home run power, he starts to get more interesting for Tier 2 consideration. Don't see a huge ceiling unless he taps into a bunch more power. Add in a highly collectible team in the Red Sox and that makes him the top Tier 1 guy for me. 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. 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). Plenty of pitchers, catchers, role players, hit tool only bats, defense-first players, etc. 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. The next concern is that he doesn't stick behind the plate given his less than stellar showing there, putting more pressure on the bat to perform at either 1B or corner OF. While he exclusively played Center field his past few years in college, his size will likely push him out to left field, putting more pressure on his hit tool, which is much more of a question mark than his prodigious power. Cameron Cauley - SS (Rangers, 1st Base only, 73/230) - The prep shortstop out of Texas has all the tools to stick at short which is his main calling card. Free shipping for many products!

If he can't, he focuses on upping the fastball velocity and becoming a two-pitch high leverage reliever. At his best, he is probably more of a hit-over-power second baseman or center fielder with plus speed and a strong on-base approach. A high leverage reliever with mid-rotation upside depending on how the secondaries develop with an absolutely lights out fastball gets into my Tier 3 based on upside. Has an above-average fastball in the low to mid 90's with plus vertical approach angle that gets a decent amount of swing and misses. Simply put, he's one of the best prospects in baseball by any measure. He apparently will throw an inconsistent changeup infrequently as his third pitch, but I never saw it in the video I watched.

For example, if I had done Tiers for 2020 Bowman Draft, I would have had double the amount of players in Tier 1. There is likely above average pop when he gets to the big leagues while hitting for a decent average, but has the classic left-hander approach where they prefer the ball down and struggle with pitches up in the zone. The fastball often ends up on the glove side of the plate, given an appearance of some left to right movement on the fastball for the hitter. Hit tool is his best asset with the bat but will have some unexpected power - at the moment it's mostly doubles gap power. He had a fair amount of control with it landing in the zone regularly as well as getting plenty of swings and misses. I really want to get more eyes on him in 2022 to see how he handles big boy competition, but I think there is serious upside here with his potential plus power lefty swing. Prototype size at 6'4" 230-ish pounds. Dustin Saenz - LHP (Nationals, 1st Base only, 112/103) - The National's fourth-round pick out of Texas A&M didn't get drafted in the COVID-shortened 2020 draft.
