New 20 in '20 - Bowman Scouts provide a breakdown of the top 20 prospects coming out of the 2020 MLB Draft. Missing an effective third pitch. That being said, even with a ceiling of a lights out closer, it's hard to put someone with a single pitch bullpen profile as anything but Tier None. Relief risk and the need to further hone his third pitch, a curveball, would generally slot Bednar into Tier 3 without that draft status. He apparently will throw an inconsistent changeup infrequently as his third pitch, but I never saw it in the video I watched. Going to slot him at the bottom half of Tier 2 because of the ceiling, but wouldn't argue pushing him into Tier 3 given the risk of a mid to back end rotation arm. 2019 Bowman Platinum Wal-Mart Top Prospects Wander Franco RC #TOP-9; . Chad Dallas - RHP (Blue Jays, 1st Base only, 121/185) - Backend starter profile that is the classic pitchability right-hander. I really liked the looks I had and was tempted to push him up to Tier 3, but will let caution get the better part of valor here. He's more of a control guy that looks to induce weak contact rather than a swing and miss guy you saw getting off the bus. Tier 3 - May have some hobby interest due to a single factor such as prospect pedigree, team interest, general hobby hype, an interesting carrying tool, etc. For now, he hangs out towards the top of Tier 4. His fastball is often in the upper half of the zone, which is great for setting up his off-speed, but it lacks top end velocity and deception, which can lead to the pitch being hittable. Jay Allen - OF (Reds, 1st Base and Auto, 30/38) - Super athletic three-sport star from the Florida prep ranks who passed up a scholarship offer to play baseball and football at the University of Florida has all the potential. A coin flip for me between the top of Tier 3 and the bottom half of Tier 2, but given the draft pedigree of the first round, I am going to lean Tier 2 here. The curveball has nice shape and snap to it with good spin. Above average to plus hit tool with a strong plate approach is brought down by the rest of his average-ish tools. Couple that with a first-round draft pedigree, and he gets the bump into Tier 2. A solid all around player that has the tools to stick at shortstop. Steven Hajjar - LHP (Twins, 1st Base and Auto, 61/114) - A well-known name since his prep days, Hajjar was taken in the second round by the Twins at slot value. Strong hit tool with doubles power and past pre-draft hype is mitigated with a partial catcher penalty and the mysterious disappearance of homerun power. Edwin Arroyo - SS (Mariners, 1st Base only, 48/78) - The Mariners 2nd round pick was one of the youngest players in the draft which translates to a lot of raw potential yet to come. But, with the Red Sox bump, I could see some short term value in the future in the mold of Nick Maton where he debuts with a hot 3-4 weeks and his 1st Bowmans base autos go for $50+ instead of the $10 they likely should go for long term. Brand Bowman Draft Picks and Prospects 21 $519.99 Product Details Set Checklist Shop Boxes Product Details User Rating: Rating: 3.8 Rate This Product Putting the final bow on the main run of Topps' MLB prospect releases for the year, 2021 Bowman Draft Baseball focuses on top picks from the 2021 MLB Draft. With more comfort throwing his changeup regularly and improved command and control, Petty could step up into the SP1 conversation. A lot of the concern was with how he underperformed the first half of the year as he struggled with his command, but he closed strong which helped bring his stock back up. Davis may not stick behind the plate because he's not an ideal receiver, even with a double-plus howitzer for an arm. An easy Tier None slotting for the Blue Jays 4th rounder. He has both outcomes of a backend starter or high leverage bullpen arm basically equally weighted in his future. 01:20. I'm not going to think twice either. That may be a tall task with the current state of Rockies player development, but fingers crossed it happens. With his experience and excellent performance in 2021, we don't see any signs of slowing down. Free shipping for many products! Features a low to mid 90's fastball and a plus sweeping slider that play up due to his arm angle and height. No current bullpen risk as the expectation is that he'll be able to stick as a starting pitcher. Gap power is probably geared towards putting up home runs in the teens range. 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. On the other hand, the Angels need starting pitching in the worst way (spending every draft pick on a pitcher is certainly a mood) and I imagine they will give him every opportunity to see if he can stick in the rotation. Other parallels: Refractor (499) Purple (250) Blue (150) A back-end starter profile with the potential to get into that SP3 type role because Yankees have been a strong pitching dev org. Slider is his main secondary with plus spin to the tune of 2800+. I don't project Murphy being anything other than a reliever long term and he really needs to get at least a second reliable pitch to keep major league hitters from sitting on his heater. More Prospects News. While Binelas has mainly played third base, his lack of arm and athleticism will push him to first base long term, further pressuring his power over hit profile to improve in both areas. With more info and video, I might consider a plus power bat as a standout tool and in consideration for Tier 3, but the expected DH penalty and the overall profile seems like a Tier None guy to me until I see more. Top of Tier 3 player that develops anything more than average power and he slides into Tier 2. With some velo uptick, I could see McDermott cementing his role as a backend SP, but probably not much more than a mid-rotation SP at best, which keeps him in Tier None for now and possibly a Tier 3 guy at peak. As he grows into his body and perhaps puts more loft into his swing, we could see the home runs ticking up. 2021 Bowman Draft BROOKS GOSSWEIN Chrome Prospect 1st Bowman Refractor #21 $12.99 Buy It Now or Best Offer , FREE Shipping , 30-Day Returns, eBay Money Back Guarantee As an example, imagine if you were a big believer in Mike Trout before he took his first professional at-bat. Clarke started to put it together in the Pandemic shortened season in 2020 and continued to crush in 2021 for Cal-State Northridge with a .324/.445/.570 triple slash and 8 home runs in 38 games. Slider and changeup would flash but also were part of his command woes. Tier None guy with the potential for Tier 3 if the Giants can get him right. Next up is a low to mid 80's sweeping slider with above-average spin and horizontal break which also generates a fair amount of whiffs. Clean, repeatable mechanics and an advanced for his age approach lessen the prep rightys risk. He'll also throw a changeup occasionally. Literally making the hitters look foolish. The changeup plays well off of it and a tight slider can be effective at times. Keep all of those things in mind as you read my breakdown when formulating your own tiers and evaluations, and as you are buying boxes, singles, and into breaks for 2021 Bowman Draft. For now, he will be more of that extreme risk prep righty in Tier 2 that could move up and down the Tiers regularly as he develops. Tanner Allen - OF (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 118/119) - 5th year Senior out of Mississippi State that was an underslot sign to help support the Khalil Watson pick. Micah Ottenbreit - RHP (Phillies, 1st Base and Auto, 114/155) - Lanky prep right-hander standing 6'4" that looks like a back-end starter that will need a lot of development work to get there. *Catchers and Pitchers are often knocked down a tier just due to their position. 2022 Bowman Draft Baseball Complete Paper Prospect Team Set - Texas Rangers 195625717041 The Cardinals 2nd round pick has 40 home run power with double plus max velo but the concern is he will only get the bat to the ball enough to get to 20 of those. Should be able to stick at the position given that arm strength along with good athleticism and size. 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. 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. Michael Morales - RHP (Mariners, 1st Base and Auto, 83/130) - The Vanderbilt commit took an overslot deal to break that commitment as it is one of the harder colleges to get guys away from. The left-hander is a fit in either role as his pitches tunnel well, he fills up the zones and he gets strikeouts while limiting walks. At 6'5", he's going to have to learn how to defend the zone against pitchers that will take advantage of his size. 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. More than likely a table setting second division regular outcome. That translates to a Tier None player with a small percentile outcome to reach Tier 3. Ultimately I decided to go the conservative route and push him into Tier None. With just two pitches and some injury history, the relief risk is real. In the hobby, it is good but not great. Zane Mills - RHP (Cardinals, 1st Auto only, 120/286) - Mills is a back-end starter profile that doesn't have any real plus pitches but has plus command. I could easily see Frelick regularly putting up a .300+ batting average with 30+ stolen bases as a major leaguer. Above-average hit tool and plus power with a strong plate approach highlight his tool set. His Bowman cards only list him as a pitcher as well. As a switch hitting shortstop-only profile, he is likely on the fence between Tier 2 and Tier 3. Needs to add in the command and control that most prep arms lack, including Kudrna, and you can project a mid-rotation starter. Rating: 7.7 (3 votes) Click here to Rate. 2021 Bowman - Prospects. Tyler Mattison - RHP (Tigers, 1st Base only, 104/NR) - Underslot senior sign in round 4 for the Tigers out of Bryant University. Seemed like the biggest challenge with Panzini is the command of his secondaries, and even his fastball in some of the Circuit tape I watched. Throw in the round 1 draft pedigree and the Cleveland secret sauce, I am going to slide him into the bottom half of Tier 2. Carson Williams - SS (Rays, 1st Base and Auto, 28/47) - A helium prep shortstop out of the San Diego area that was more seen as a pitching prospect until his bat started to come around in his Senior season. 2021 Bowman Chrome Draft Connor Norby 1st Prospect Auto #CDA-CN Orioles - E02 | Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop, Sports Trading Cards, Trading Card Singles | eBay! McGreevy's biggest asset is his plus command and control. At present, he is average to above average across the board, but he is by no means a finished product. 4 for being the 4th overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft and 1 for his ranking in our Top 600. Tyler Black - 2B/3B (Brewers, 1st Base and Auto, 33/67) - A standout at Wichita State due to the plus hit tool scuffled a bit in his small sample size debut in pro ball. If they can, he suddenly becomes much more interesting. If he can be a 20/20 guy, then he suddenly jumps into Tier 3 if not Tier 2 depending on how well he can keep up his average. Diamondbacks are also one of the lesser collectible teams, another potential minor drag on his hobby value. 2021 Bowman - Chrome Prospects. For all intents and purposes, he is a one-pitch pitcher. Couple that plus fastball with a plus curveball and average to above-average changeup and slider and you have a standard model starter's four-pitch mix. Decent approach, decent hit tool, could show some power, but nothing really to get excited about. 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. So I had no idea who this kid was exactly when he stepped into the batter's box, but it was a noticeably bigger dude than anyone else the A's threw out there to hit against the Angels fireballer. A bullpen floor, but I think we also have a good likelihood that he ends up as that backend starter the Padres probably drafted him for. A real steady Eddie type that will eat innings for the Angels in the future. Chrome Prospect Autographs are also available in 16 different parallels. 2021 Bowman marks the official opening of prospect season. Has shown a bit of hit tool regression in the spring and at the Complex as he was once considered the top prep catcher in the class and a 1st rounder. A raw, prep right-hander that likely adds more weight, wasn't exactly hitting his spots regularly, and with plenty of development required to really have a good idea of what he will be is going to land in Tier None quite regularly. Strong plate approach but average hit tool and maybe a chip in steal here or there sums up the rest of the offensive package. Nicely balanced delivery that features a low 90's fastball and a biting 12/6 curveball. On the plus side, he has strong plate skills in that he rarely strikes out and regularly puts up high OBP marks. 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. He put up 9 home runs in his eye-popping final season at Oregon and had double plus max exit velocity in his early pro ball run. He also throws a curveball and a changeup that I saw in his college tape but didn't see at all at the Complex. Add in that previously mentioned personality (as Pitching Ninja said, "Nikhazy rhymes with crazy") and you get a Tier 3 pitcher as opposed to a Tier None pitcher.
