The Padres are giving him an opportunity to start for now, but he's a tough at bat for lefties and I would speculate that he eventually gets moved to the bullpen to come in against a tough left-handed portion of a lineup. Seemed easy for hitters to pick up and put the bat on the ball, even if it wasn't always successful.

Relief risk and the need to further hone his third pitch, a curveball, would generally slot Bednar into Tier 3 without that draft status. 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. 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. With the hit tool being the only real plus in his arsenal, it relegates him to Tier 3 for the moment. Drafted to pitch, he's a raw work in progress. He has a notorious hitch in his swing and regularly is mentioned in the same breath as Hunter Pence. More fluid and better bat speed through the zone from the right side. Defensive ability to stick at shortstop although it wouldn't be a surprise if he ends up at third base at some point in his career. 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.

A high floor for the smaller statured pitcher, but not a high ceiling either. Looked to be an uncomfortable at bat for left-handers.

Inconsistent all around on the mound with a bunch of potential plus pitches led by the fastball and curveball but lots of unknowns due to not being focused on pitching and baseball in general. He went from a low 90s fastball that looked relatively straight in 2020 to a 93-94 with movement. McGreevy's biggest asset is his plus command and control. When there are more than three or four guys to chase in a product, collectors tend to be relatively happy. *Catchers and Pitchers are often knocked down a tier just due to their position. Most of the big names are in here - Marcelo Mayer, Jordan Lawlar, Brady House, Henry Davis. The deck is stacked against hit-only corner players, but given the strength of Manzardo's hit tool and the associated plate skills, I am going to slot him into the bottom half of Tier 3 and cross my fingers his power continues to trend in the right direction.

A lot of my video looks at him were from the left side and he was pretty aggressive, especially with fastballs. Slotting him into the top half of Tier 3; if he does take that next step in his development, he becomes an easy player to jump into Tier 2 with that god-mode fastball.

His third pitch is a changeup that is reportedly above average, but I wasn't able to find many looks at it. He is a big dude coming in at 6'5" and 290 pounds with the requisite raw power. His floor is a high leverage relief arm with an outside shot at a backend rotation guy, but that will take some refinement to get there. 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. Without that, he's a mid-rotation guy as the most likely outcome. With more comfort throwing his changeup regularly and improved command and control, Petty could step up into the SP1 conversation. Based on the sell sheet, the main insert I would be interested in without yet having them in hand yet is the new Genesis insert with its cosmos theme. Lonnie White Jr. - OF (Pirates, 1st Base and Auto, 64/35) - Along with Chandler, the Pirates used their underslot choice of Henry Davis at 1-1 to steal away a big time football commit with White, a potential star wide receiver headed to Penn State. Ricky Tiedemann - LHP (Blue Jays, 1st Base and Auto, 91/91) - Left-handed pitching prospect that we didn't get to see much of before the draft but apparently took an uptick in dev during instructs. If not for that, he likely doesn't get past the single digits in round 1; in this case, he "fell" to the middle of round 1. 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.

They have some company, though, in the form of several "prospects" like Wander Franco,. Jose Torres - SS (Reds, 1st Base and Auto, 89/85) - Defense first college shortstop that has shown some hit tool growth and sneaky pop, but essentially is an average offensive tool set at the moment. 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. Alex Binelas - 1B (Brewers*, 1st Base and Auto, 65/63) - Binelas didn't have the best 2021 college season as his hit tool didn't keep up with his power tool, pushing him down to the third round of the draft.

But like the rest of the guys with this profile, keep tabs on them. His curveball is his best secondary and a swing and miss pitch.

Ethan Wilson - OF (Phillies, 1st Base and Auto, 49/32) - The Phillies second-round pick out of South Alabama showed up big his freshman year but hasn't repeated that peak since. The only one I got a good look at was the curveball, which had really nice 12-6 break to it. No real reliever risk either. The jury is out on Moller there, but if I was placing bets, I would guess he does stay there. Literally making the hitters look foolish. The Cleveland pitching machine does give me pause and make me consider putting him up to Tier 3, but ultimately it feels like a floor of a backend starter with not much more of a ceiling than that. There is almost no video out there, so he is a hard-to-evaluate arm at the moment. 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. More Prospects News.
