He has a good feel for hitting and a plan at the plate, but he "swings through pitches while trying to hit the ball 600 feet every time," as MLB.com put it. OF Joshua Baez, Dexter Southfield High School (MA)īaez is an imposing 6'4", 220-pound slugger with 70-grade power and a rocket for an arm, giving him the prototypical right fielder profile. Jud Fabian Gary McCullough/Associated Press He played shortstop in high school, but he doesn't have the arm strength or quickness to stick there at the next level and will likely be limited to second base. He profiles as one of the best pure hitters in the class with a smooth left-handed swing and sneaky power potential, but a limited defensive profile raises some questions. 505/.664/1.031 with 14 home runs, 23 steals and 42 walks this spring to send his draft stock soaring. If he can rein in an approach that often sees him selling out for over-the-fence power, he could develop into one of the better bats in this class.ĢB Peyton Stovall, Haughton High School (LA)

His 6'4", 225-pound frame has already filled out to the point that he's almost certain to shift to third base early in his pro career after playing shortstop in high school. With tantalizing raw power and a fringy hit tool that results in plenty of swings and misses, Pacheco is the prototypical boom-or-bust prep power hitter. He gained valuable exposure playing for an East Carolina team that went 44-17 and reached Super Regionals, and he had two of the team's five hits in its two losses to Vanderbilt to close out the year.ģB/SS Izaac Pacheco, Friendswood High School (TX) 415/.484/.659 with 15 doubles, 15 home runs and 51 RBI in 61 games this spring, swiping 18 bases in 22 attempts while playing a strong second base.

He's not flashy, but he's polished with a high floor and a plus hit tool.Ī Golden Spikes semifinalist, Norby hit. 321/.398/.497 with 16 extra-base hits in 191 plate appearances while showing a smooth left-handed stroke and good bat-to-ball skills. A hand injury slowed him this spring, but he still hit. He has a better shot of sticking at shortstop than Izaac Pacheco and Colson Montgomery-two of the other top high school bats in the class-but he's lacking in quick-twitch athleticism and may ultimately wind up at third base.Ī three-year starter at Boston College, Morissette announced himself as one to watch when he hit. Kath is seen by some scouts as "a slightly more athletic version of Red Sox prospect Triston Casas," and he offers a similar hit-over-power present profile with the potential to develop into a serious power threat as his 6'3", 200-pound frame continues to fill out. The big question is whether he can stick behind the plate defensively, and a move out of the crouch would obviously put significantly more pressure on his bat.ģB/SS Wes Kath, Desert Mountain High School (AZ) He also showed some power potential when he slugged 12 home runs as a freshman. He has a smooth left-handed swing and is willing to work a walk. 275/.380/.395 with 17 extra-base hits in 237 plate appearances has taken a bite out of Del Castillo's draft stock, but he still profiles as one of the better college hitters in the class.
