(International Prospects League) the ball was recorded leaving Ferreiras bat at 104 MPH by Flightscope Baseball. Top 50 International Prospects. If Eder is wild upon his initial return to affiliated ball, it will be tough to know if hes regressed to his career command mean or if its just rust from being 17 months post-op. -- $340,000Jose Pirela, OF, Ven. Unlike the draft, a team can't exceed its international bonus pool and pay a tax. Lewis missed a chunk of 2019 with an injury before losing all of 2020 to the pandemic. He has no underlying swing-and-miss issues and his massive 6-foot-5 frame still has room for more strength. Javier Osorio, SS, Venezuela Tigers ($2,200,000) More 14. He barely ever chases and sprays hard line drives and fly balls everywhere, covering all but the very up-and-in corner of the plate, where he tends to get jammed. Add to that his plus-plus defense at an up-the-middle position, and hes on track for star-level everyday center field role. He has a surprisingly authoritative left-handed cut for a player of his stature and shows you lovely all-fields ability to hit, snatching hanging breaking balls and inner-third fastballs to his pull side and spraying lots of middle-away fastballs to the opposite field. His rare raw thump has already begun to manifest in games, as Cartaya clubbed 22 homers in 2022, a season after he dealt with multiple injuries that severely limited his playing time. Framber Valdezoriginally signed for $10,000 in 2015, for example. Young stars like Fernando Tatis Jr, Juan Soto, Vladimir Guerrero Jr, Ronald Acuna, Yordan Alvarez, Wander Franco, Julio Rodriguez, and many more started as relatively obscure teenagers. Sheer unpredictability and velocity allow Miller to bully the strike zone without precision and still stay off barrels, while his well-executed pitches miss bats. The period means everything and its only a few months away. Abel is a prototypical power pitching prospect with huge arm strength, a plus breaking ball, and the frame to not only hold his velo all year but to perhaps keep throwing harder and harder until hes a No. Scouts who saw him after Labor Day thought the quality and utility of his breaking balls (while still good) had also backed up a bit. Jhonny Severino, SS, Dominican Republic Brewers ($1,230,000) More 22. His swing is like a right-handed version of Juan Sotos, capable of getting underneath the baseball in basically every part of the zone, in part because of the flexibility and athleticism in his lower half. He blew triple-digits at the top of the zone past batters at every stop, with his fastball averaging 99 mph at Triple-A. Though he lacked present power and typical frame-based power projection, there was enthusiasm surrounding Frelicks catalytic offensive qualities. He should be the Mets primary catcher as soon as most of the big league pitching staff feels confident and comfortable throwing to him. Merrills feel to hit is sublime. Teams will also not be allowed to trade international bonus slots during this signing period. He doesnt have huge raw juice (his peak exit velos are in the 106-108 mph range a bit shy of big league average, but still good for a player Arroyos age), and his bat-to-ball and chase rate stats are comfortably below average, but Arroyo lifts the baseball with remarkable consistency. Hes going to get to whatever raw power he ends up growing into and has a good shot to be a middle infield regular, though probably not until 2026 or so just based on his 40-man timeline.There are mixed feelings about his defensive fit, with most of Erics sources projecting him to second base (a mix of scouts and analysts), which is where he had him coming out of high school. To that point, hed shown an advanced approach on the backfields that belied his age, and he carried his performance into the Cal League, slashing .254/.355/.508 with a mid-teens walk rate in A-ball. There will probably be a consistent hole against fastballs up and away for Domnguez. Here are a few of the other top prospects for the 2022 international signing period: SS William Bergolla, Venezuela: Bergolla's father, William Sr., appeared in 17 games with the Reds in 2005. Cristian Perez, OF, D.R. Youll note that prospects are ranked by number but also lie within tiers demarcated by their Future Value grades. Everything else Jones shows you in the batters box is exciting. This years 60 FV tier has some players who still show some hit tool red flags (Chourio, De La Cruz, Jones) that kept them from ever really being considered for the tier above. And it doesnt take long before you start talking about players with warts that reduce confidence in the overall profile. His powerful lower half and flexibility drive the production of this velocity, while McGarrys long arm action makes it tough for him to have a consistent release. He also dealt with an eye condition that would later require surgery to strengthen the collagen fibers within his cornea, surgery he had in 2020 while he also reworked his mechanics. Montgomery raked his way to Double-A, where he spent the last couple weeks of his first full pro season as part of Project Birmingham, a de facto instructs and evaluation period for Chicagos best mid- and upper-level prospects. His hands are quick and direct to the ball, though he struggles to make contact in front of the plate, often over-swings, and tends to chase. Position-wise, there are 20 infielders, 18 outfielders, five catchers, six pitchers and one two-way player. A backfield wunderkind who stood out immediately because of his rare combination of size and athleticism, Alcantara has been a top 100 prospect at FanGraphs for a couple of years now. -- $700,000Angelo Hernandez, C, Ven. Still, there are all kinds of hit tool red flags here, both in the data and in Williams visual scouting report. Perennial contenders like the Dodgers and Yankees, teams that usually pick late in the draft, use international free agency to add elite prospects to their farm system. Tarjetas Bowman Cromadas Draft de bisbol Bowman Invicta 2022: elige de While his peak exit velocities have long been tops among his peers, college and pro, he didnt really start launching homers until after he was drafted, when it appears his swing and approach changed. To say he looks like a steal is a drastic understatement at this point, as he is one of the most exciting young hitters in the minors, with elite power potential and superlative on-paper performance at Double-A throughout 2022, all while he was still not old enough to have a beer. Julien tweeted he was going back to school, then went to the Cape and had a great two weeks, after which the Twins offer rose to just shy of $500,000, inspiring him to sign. MLB international signing period roundup | MiLB.com For instance, Merrills hard-hit rate in 2022 was nearly 44%, which is already well above the average big league shortstops mark (35%). The scouting summaries were compiled with information provided by available data and industry sources, as well as from our own observations. Prior to his fifth-round selection in the 2021 draft, Graceffo had been Villanovas Friday starter, routinely called upon to throw well over 100 pitches per outing. He didnt throw a ton of strikes and the visual quality of his stuff was closer to average overall than plus or better, which is how it looked in high school. He has the prototypical starters frame at a broad-shouldered 6-foot-6, and the pacing and look of his delivery evoke Gerrit Cole. He has some outfield experience but very little in pro ball, and he doesnt exactly look like a fish in water out there. But assuming that third base is now his likeliest position, more pressure will be put on Martes bat, and while theres good news in that regard, there also needs to be refinement if Marte is going to hit enough to play an everyday role at third base. Luis Morales, RHP, CubaThe right-hander is one of the most interesting and dynamic prospects in the class. He ran a 6.95 ERA in Triple-A throughout 2022 but the hitting environment in Reno isnt fair to pitchers, and Jamesons stuff, control, and athleticism are all on par with a good teams fourth starter.
