1,Kevin McGonigle,1810,67,65,97,805808,1,"After suffering an ankle injury in the first game of the season that wiped out all of his April, Kevin McGonigle returned with a vengeance and continued to build off his exceptional pro debut. He is the best pure hitter in MiLB thanks to his incredible eye and ability to consistently impact all pitch types. He worked his way to AA and posted an exceptional .991 OPS in 88 Games while knocking in 19 HR while walking more than he struck out. He has a swing perfectly catered for loft and his smaller stature and compact levers allow him to get ahead of the ball and deposit it to the pull side. He has posted a 105.1 MPH 90th% EV and 46.7 HardHit% while maintaining a stellar 81.9 Contact%, all marks well above average for a 21 year old in AA. He won't be slouch on the base paths and he projects to be a solid defender, even if his future is more likely at 2B rather than SS. Overall, McGonigle's blend of bat control, pitch recognition, and developing power makes him my clear cut #1 prospect in MLB.", Kevin McGonigle returned with a vengeance and continued to build off his exceptional pro debut.

2,Konnor Griffin,1585,44,41,93.2,804606,1,"Konnor Griffin could not have drawn up a better pro debut. The #1 prep selection from the 2024 draft recorded a .942 OPS and stormed his way to AA while flashing his elite power and speed tools with 21 HR and 65 SB. His 107.9 90th% EV stood head and shoulder above his peers and there is still some room to fill out his 6'4"" frame. The biggest knock against Griffin at draft was his longer swing action that posed potential contact and spray issues. Fortunately, he cleaned up his approach and opted for a more closed stance and compact swing which has greatly simplified his mechanics. He had no issues maintaining solid contact rates following each promotion and he was extremely stubborn at two strikes. The hit tool isn't flawless though; Griffin struggled against breaking balls both in terms of whiffs and chase. His defensive capabilities raise his already exciting profile to extreme heights. He looked comfortable at both SS and CF and projects to be a dynamic defender up the middle. Griffin has entrenched himself as one of the best prospects in baseball this season and looks to be on the fast track to join Pittsburgh as soon as next season.", he cleaned up his approach and opted for a more closed stance and compact swing which has greatly simplified his mechanics.

The hit tool concerns seem to be in the rearview for the heir to the prospect throne. He also looks comfortable all over the field.","Breaking balls tend to give him the most trouble, both in terms of chases and whiffs.",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
3,Jesus Made,1550,52,42,80.8,815908,1,"Jesus Made was the talk of the town in the DSL last season, posting a 167 wRC+ at 17 years old. The Brewers decided that he was ready for full season ball just a year later and thrusted him into Lo-A where he continued to excel, ultimately finishing in AA. The biggest thing that stands out about Made is how quick his hands move from both sides of the plate. His swing looks explosive and when he connects squarely (which is often) the outcome is typically stunning. Although it was just 6 HR this season, he impressed scouts and analysts alike with his demeanor, hit tool, and approach. Against competition multiple years his senior Made utilized his raw strength to drive baseballs all over the field. His ability to punish any type of pitch at such a young age in jaw-dropping. Standing at 6'1"", he doesn't have too much room to fill out his frame, but the power he has exhibited indicates he can reach a plus-plus projection in that category. The biggest hurdle for Made is his less than ideal swing plane that has led to plenty of ground balls and an exorbitant number of pop-ups. On the defensive side of things he projects to be a strong defender on the left side of the infield with the arm strength if a move to 3B is required. He is also an above average runner, racking up 47 SB this season. Overall, Made has all the tools to be the #1 prospect in baseball. As he continues to develop he will need to add loft to his swing to tap into his tantalizing power.","The Good: Jesus Made is showcasing MLB average power at just 18 years old and continues to impress with above average contact rates and a patient approach. His ability to punish any type of pitch at such a young age in jaw-dropping. The Bad: An exorbitant number of pop-ups have limited his power output, and he is not hitting nearly enough fly balls.",Jesus Made is showcasing MLB average power at just 18 years old and continues to impress with above average contact rates and a patient approach.

4,JJ Wetherholt,1477,54,42,77.8,802139,1,"An undersized SS, JJ Wetherholt packs a punch from the left side thanks to his ability to land the barrel of the bat on the ball frequently. He has an incredibly stingy approach backed up by an excellent 16.9 O-Swing% while not be overly passive against pitches in the zone. This approach has led him to walk more than he struck out as he worked his way to AAA just a year after his draft. He has solid bat control and his eye for laying off secondaries is sharp. Off speed pitches and high and inside fastballs give him the most trouble, par for the course for LHH. His offensive upside is well established, however there are concerns that his poor range will force him off of SS. He has the arm to stick at 3B with 2B being a fallback option if his lack of mobility continues to be a problem. All in all, Wetherholt is going to be a thorn in the side of many pitchers with the power to keep them honest.","The Good: Wetherholt has a keen eye while being moderately aggressive at pitches in the zone. He supplements his sturdy approach with an above average hit tool and a consistent ability to barrel the ball. The Bad: His defense remains a question. He will likely move off of SS for either 2B or 3B, which are better suited for his capabilities.",Wetherholt has a keen eye while being moderately aggressive at pitches in the zone.

5,Max Clark,1508,31,28,90.3,703601,1,"Max Clark is an uber-athletic CF who took massive strides in both the hit tool and plate discipline department this season to become one of the most complete prospects in baseball. He slashed his strikeout rate a few points and greatly improved his walk rate with an extremely patient approach. He was a nuisance for pitchers as he refused to chase with two strikes and continuously made contact with whatever was thrown to him. The power has not manifested as hoped, but he looks to project as an average slugger with his flatter swing capping his ability to barrel up the ball. His approach bodes well for getting on base at a higher clip, however he falls victim to being too passive. Overall, Clark is an extremely well-rounded prospect who has considerably raised his floor since his draft.",The Good: Max Clark carries an entire toolshed on his back every time he steps foot on the field. Massive gains in his approach and contact rates buoyed his stock while plus speed and defense makes him a very dynamic outfielder. No one tool carries his profile; it is a well-rounded toolkit that gives him a tantalizing floor. The Bad: He fails to lift the ball consistently to tap into his power. He also falls victim to being too passive.,Max Clark carries an entire toolshed on his back every time he steps foot on the field.

6,Samuel Basallo,1473,52,41,78.8,694212,1,"Samuel Basallo wields the most explosive bat amongst all prospects, clocking in elite bat speeds and exit velocities north of 116 MPH. His power upside given his age is bewildering and he supplements it with enough bat-to-ball skills to punish pitches in any location. This both a feature and a bug of Basallo�s approach as he will swing at pitches far outside the strike zone too often. Not only that, but he also tends to be more passive in-zone compared to his other chase-happy peers. However, when Basallo connects it is always astonishing. He can seemingly barrel up pitches that have no business even being swung at and his swing is perfectly designed to launch baseballs into orbit. He will likely need to trim the chase rate down to ensure he can remain a freighting force for opposing pitchers. Although he has remained a catcher throughout his pro career, he lacks the refined blocking and framing skills to stick behind the plate long-term. Without a significant improvement in either skill (or the departure of Adley Rutschman), he will likely be Baltimore�s long-time 1B.","The Good: Basallo is the best power hitter in MiLB and has been for quite some time. He has posted excellent EVs and Barrel% at every level and is knocking on Baltimore's door to continue his success in MLB. The Bad: His hit tool is good enough to let the power play, however his poor swing decisions could lead to speed bumps along the way. His upside is also limited due to his poor speed and likely departure off catcher.",Basallo is the best power hitter in MiLB and has been for quite some time.

7,Nolan McLean,1356,47,33,70.2,690997,1,"Nolan McLean's development has been rather unprecedented. He was drafted as a two-way player out of Oklahoma State and did not start pitching full-time until mid-2024. Not even a year later he finds himself in AAA and knocking at the door of the majors. His ability to spin the ball is otherworldly as he can eclipse 3000 RPM on his breaking balls and generate a ton of movement at higher velocities. McLean's signature pitch is his mid 80s sweeper that can each up to 20"" of glove-side movement. It is one of the few potential 80 grade offerings in MiLB. McLean wields a pair of fastballs, a sinker and a 4-Seamer, that each sit in the mid 90s. His sinker is his primary offering against RHH where its immense arm-side movement and slight deviation from his arm slot plays well on the inner third. He swaps his sinker for a 4-Seamer against LHH where its extremely flat approach fools batters high in the zone. McLean also tosses a gyro cutter/slider that lives in the high 80s. It's slight cutting action makes it effective damage mitigating offering against RHH. He rounds out his incredibly deep arsenal with a mid 80s changeup that generates above average depth with negative iVB. He is exhibiting improved command this season and doing a formidable job at getting ahead of batters early. McLean's development and combination of stuff, athleticism, command, and versatility, all in an abridged timeframe, makes him one of the most exciting pitching prospect in MLB.

8,Carson Benge,1436,60,43,71.7,701807,1,"Carson Benge solidified himself as one of the most complete prospects in baseball with an excellent pro debut season where he posted a .857 OPS across 116 games. His profile is balanced with above average tools across the board while manning the outfield. A solid 20.1 Whiff% paired with a strong 21.9 O-Swing% helped him maintain a 17.7K% while walking at an elite rate. His underlying power metrics indicate he has above-average to plus raw strength, however his flatter bat path and pray tendencies may limit his slugging potential. His above average speed, good route running, and cannon of an arm greatly helps his outlook as a CF. Benge is one of the safer bets to be a MLB regular and looks poised to join the Mets early in the 2026 season.","The Good: Benge has solidified himself as one of the most complete prospects in MiLB. None of these tools are exceptional, yet they all grade out at least average to make him one of the safest bets to be an MLB regular, especially as a CF. The Bad: His spray tendencies and flatter bat path will likely limit his power upside.","Benge has solidified himself as one of the most complete prospects in MiLB.

9,Leodalis De Vries,1435,54,37,68.5,815888,1,"Leodalis De Vries entered the 2025 season as the youngest player in Hi-A with the Padres and ended it as the youngest player in AA with the Athletics. His trade from the Padres was a shock to the baseball world as he was considered a consensus Top 10 Prospect in baseball and was ranked as highly as top 5. After a strong showing in Hi-A where LDV continued to showcase his advanced approach and budding power, he wrapped up the season in Midland where he ended on a rampage with all 5 of his home runs coming in his final 8 games. On the season he posted a .806 OPS while cutting down his K% from 2024 and being more aggressive in the zone. His raw power did not progress as expected with his exit velocities remaining consistent with his first pro season. While this puts a damper on his power projection, he continued to keep the ball in the air where he used his shorter levers to get ahead of the ball and deposit it to the pull side. His leap to the upper minors was exciting to witness, but it did not come without growing pains. The power he flashed from both side of the plates waned as he struggled to hit LHP, ending the season with a .659 OPS as a RHH. He continued to be a force against RHP, launching 12 of 15 HR as a lefty. Defensively, he has the arm to stick on the left side of the infield with his range being the deciding factor to whether he stick at SS or 3B. Overall, LDV is a tooled-up switch-hitter with immense potential and seemingly unprecedented success given his age. He has #1 Prospect in baseball upside.","The Good: Now on the Athletics, De Vries looks to continue producing at an above average rate as an 18-year-old in Hi-A. De Vries has an advanced eye which supplements his aggressive approach well. He is a tooled-up switch-hitter with immense potential and seemingly unprecedented success given his age.

10,Colt Emerson,1432,37,27,73,806068,1,"Colt Emerson continued his rapid trajectory to prospect stardom as he posted a .841 OPS and ended the season on fire, earning a promotion to AAA just months after his 20th birthday. He possesses a well-rounded approach at the dish with an encouraging blend of patience and aggressiveness, which is further boosted up by his plus contact rates. Emerson�s slugging upside hinges on his plus bat speed translating to more in-game power. Currently, he hits far too many groundballs and sprays his batted balls to the opposite field more than any other direction. On the defensive end you could argue that Emerson is the best SS defender in the minors. He has incredible range and supports his excellent glove with an above average arm. Overall, Emerson looks to be the Mariners long-term solution at SS with untapped power potential raising his ceiling to lofty heights.","The Good: Plus bat speed and one of the best SS defenders in MiLB. Good balance of patience and aggressiveness which pairs well with his above average contact rates.

11,Josue Briceno,1443,42,33,78.6,800522,1,"Josue Briceno let his bat do the talking this season as he posted a stellar .883 OPS across Hi-A and AA. This success comes after an outstanding showing in the AFL during 2024 where he looked more athletic and agile without sacrificing power. He brings everything you want out of a batter: explosive bat speed, outstanding barrel control, and an advanced eye; all without the strikeout rates that typical plague even the best of sluggers. His production dipped following his promotion to Erie (AA), however he righted the ship in the final weeks which were reminiscent of his dominant showing with West Michigan (Hi-A). On the defensive end, Briceno suited up behind the plate in nearly half his outings where he displayed average catching skills with the lone exception being below average framing. Overall, Briceno is one of the most well-rounded slugging prospects in baseball and continued to prove that he can hold his own at catcher, even if it looks more that likely that the Tigers view him as a secondary backstop for the time-being.","The Good: Briceno is one of the most well-rounded hitters in MiLB. He combines a formidable hit tool with a sharp eye and elite bat speed to strike fear into pitchers. The Bad: He has some trouble hitting off-speed pitches and his contact rates have dipped following his promotion to AA.

12,Luis Pena,1481,28,24,85.7,821270,1,"Luis Pena�s 2024 DSL season overshadowed by his teammate Jesus Made, but that shouldn�t detract from how excellent it was. He posted a 173 wRC+ while tacking on 39 SB in just 44 games, a showing that earned him a spot in full season ball less than a year later. With the Mudcats (Lo-A), Pena continued the stellar start to his pro career with an excellent .844 OPS while flashing his elite speed and exhibiting more power. His 104.4 MPH 90th% EV aligned him amongst some of the best at the level and looks more impressive given both his size and age. Despite this, his flatter bat path greatly limits his slugging potential. His hit tool is advanced and projects to be plus-plus despite a major roadblock upon reaching Hi-A, especially against breaking balls. The biggest hole in his profile remains his lacklustre approach, which sits well below average thanks to an imbalance of chases and in-zone aggression. The Brewers positioned him all around the IF this season, however he will likely end up at 2B given his poor arm strength. Pena will have plenty of time to iron out his kinks, with his innate hit tool and speed to keep him afloat against tougher competition.","The Good: Potential plus-plus hit tool and blistering speed carries Pena's projection, but his raw power should not be understated. He has a greater 90th% EV than fellow teammate Jesus Made! The Bad: Pena's power ceiling is more restricted due to his smaller frame and flatter swing plane.

Now in full-season ball at just 18, he remains an overwhelming presence at the plate both in stature and production. Standing 6'4"" with room to grow, he wields a steep upper-cut swing geared for pulled fly balls. His raw power consistently translates into results, as shown by his 16 home runs in his first taste stateside. While swings like his can raise swing-and-miss concerns, he has maintained excellent contact rates, particularly in-zone. His ability to recognize and lay off pitches out of the zone, especially secondary offerings, is encouraging and positions him for a rapid ascent through the minors. However, his lack of in-zone aggressiveness makes him susceptible to called strikes. This patient approach should buoy his walk rate, though he will likely see strikeout rates rise against more advanced pitching. Limited speed may force him off center field, and struggles against LHP further cap his future value.

Tolle does an excellent job utilizing his large 6'5"" frame to get down the mound which generates nearly 7.5' of extension. This large stride pairs well with his low 3/4 release to create a distinct look with a deceptively low release point. Tolle's fastball has garnered the most benefit from his release as its 93-95 MPH velocity looks like upper 90s heat. Additionally, its ~16"" iVB from his 5.7 ft release point leads to a flatter approach on his fastball as it whizzes through the zone. It is running a nearly 50% Whiff this season and Tolle does a strong job at locating it in the zone and getting ahead of batters early. Tolle has started throwing a sinker which hovers around 90 MPH and functions more like an offspeed pitch due to its movement differential from his fastball. Tolle's lone breaking ball is a mid 80s slider with 2-plane action with slight glove-side movement and ride. He rounds out his arsenal with an unpolished changeup that sits 86-88 MPH. It has returned underwhelming results thus far, but he has exhibited a good feel for the offering despite its low usage.

Jump releases from a 3/4 slot and he utilizes his smaller stature to get low and create a deceptive approach on his offerings. His fastball is one of the most dominant offerings in MiLB thanks to its mid 90s velocity and high rising action. He has an excellent feel for the pitch and it misses bats in the zone at an exceptional rate. He pairs his fastball with a mid-80s changeup that exhibits nearly a foot of vertical separation. Jump wields a trio of breaking balls: a slider, a sweeper, and a curveball. His slider exhibits slight glove-side action at 85 MPH and mixes it in against both LHH and RHH. His sweeper is exclusively used against LHH where its 81-83 MPH velocity and ~12"" of sweep works well as a put away offering low and away. His curveball sits in the high 70s with 2-plane action. Jump's biggest drawback is his violent delivery, although his strike throwing has greatly improved this season. He has some relief risk, but the arsenal paints the picture of a future mid-rotation arm if he can remain consistent.

His slurve is his lone breaking ball with over a foot of glove-side movement and a fair bit of drop. It is effective at generating whiffs, and he isn't afraid to throw against opposite-handed hitters. Over the winter, he added a gyro slider and sinker to his arsenal which both grade out as average offerings. He rounds out his arsenal with an average-to-plus changeup, which sits at 85-87 MPH. His control metrics have been encouraging, including a drop in BB% following his promotion to Hi-A. His longer arm action tends to get in the way of his consistency, which may limit his command as he develops.

After a slow 1st half and discouraging contact rates he slipped, but he quickly rebounded with a strong 2nd half while exhibiting his excellent tools. His ability to turn on fastballs and launch them into orbit with his elite bat speed and fluid swing demonizes even the best MiLB pitchers. His slugging potential is supplemented by his incredible eye and patient approach. He forces pitchers to keep it in the zone, and he has good enough bat-to-ball skills to take advantage. The one flaw that continues to haunt Miller is his swing-and-miss against secondaries. He can identify both breaking balls and off-speed well but struggles to connect with them frequently.

He has a fluid swing which he showed off brilliantly after smacking a home run in the Future Game this season. He ran average contact rates this season, however they dipped to below average against in-zone offerings, particularly secondaries.

His carrying traits are his incredible eye that helped him walk more than he struck out and his blistering bat speed that propelled him 18 home runs. His ability to consistently barrel the ball makes him an extremely dangerous hitter and lines him up for plus-plus power outlook. Although his 18.4 K% may indicate that he has no issues with swing and miss, his contact rates tell a different story as he sat near the bottom of the FSL with a 73.4 Z-Contact%. Behind the plate he is an above average thrower and blocker which bodes well for his future as a catcher, although his framing requires a lot of work. All in all, Duno has the tools to be a dynamic slugging backstop, but his hit tool may limit him to a three-true outcome batter.","The Good: Potential plus-plus power and a strong arm from a catcher with good blocking ability and elite pop times oozes top prospect potential.

With his healthiest season yet, Jenkins posted a .850 OPS across 84 games while flashing an uptick in power. The increase in power seemed to be at the expense of his plate discipline and contact rates. His O-Swing% and Z-Swing% remained well above average, but his contact rates took a massive tumble with his Whiff Rate dropping from 16.8% to 23.7%, with an even larger drop in his Z-Contact%. The increased exit velocities are encouraging to see, but they still paint Jenkins as an average power bat. He is a solid runner, and his plus arm strength should help him be an average defender in COF. Jenkins has had his development stalled due to injuries and it finally seems that he is on the brink of his MLB debut.","The Good: A strong hit tool, smart swing decisions, and a knack for lifting the ball give Jenkins all the tools to be an effective MLB hitter.

He has a perfect swing to barrel up the ball and his 62.3 HardHit% helped fuel his .250 ISO and 25 home runs. With such great power typically comes big hit tool concerns, and that is the case with Eldridge. His 33.2 Whiff% ranked near the bottom of AAA and was significantly worse against secondaries. He also doesn�t provide much on the basepaths and is likely a fulltime 1B/DH. The power upside is quite possibly the highest of any prospect, but the hit tool flaws and lack of defensive versatility hamper his outlook.","The Good: Monster power from the left side with a solid eye. He may have more untapped power in his 6'7"" frame and should be an imposing force both at the plate and first base. The Bad: With his size and strength, whiffs will be a plenty.

His swing decisions were also exceptional, running a O-Swing% near 20% and patiently battled back into at bats when sitting on 2 strikes. It wasn�t all smooth for Rainer though as he struggled with in-zone miss, particularly against secondaries. He also hit far too many ground balls, with nearly half his batted balls landing in the infield.

His contact rates improved, however there was no indication that his power was manifesting how the Royals hoped. That all changed following his promotion to AAA where he started to sell out for power and the home runs came in bunches. He posted an incredible 1.051 OPS in 43 AAA games supported by a 61.8 HardHit% and 107.3 MPH 90th% EV. Although his strikeouts spiked, he consistently barrelled up the ball while laying off outside pitches. He quickly became one of the premier slugging prospects in baseball all while showing flashes of improvements behind the dish, particularly with his framing. Jensen didn�t miss a beat in his cup of coffee in September and looks like he could be the Royals opening day catcher entering 2026.","The Good: One of the most consistent hard hitters in MiLB who loves to lift the ball. Plus game power with the patience to lay off outside pitches. His defense has been trending toward average this season. The Bad: Below average contact rates cap his hit tool upside.

His 15.1 O-Swing% sits amongst the best in MiLB and he pairs it with a strong 21.1 Whiff% to be a thorn in the side of opposing pitchers. His lack of aggressive does backfire from time to time, which resulted in a less than ideal 24.3 K%. On the power side, Bazzana grades out as average with a lot of his slugging coming in the form of doubles and triples. He projects to be a decent runner and 2B without much upside in either facet. Strong contact rates, excellent swing decisions, and a knack for lifting the ball give Bazzana the foundation to be a productive MLB bat.","The Good: Strong contact rates, excellent swing decisions, and a knack for lifting the ball give Bazzana the foundation to be a productive MLB bat.

His bat-to-ball skills hinder his offensive profile with his most glaring hole being in-zone miss against breaking balls. He flourished in some of the harshest environments in MiLB against pitchers that are much older than him. There was concern that Arroyo did not have the footwork nor range to man an infield spot, but his defensive outlook greatly improved this season. There is an avenue for him to provide average defense up the middle despite his well below average arm. Overall, Arroyo�s bat carries his stock while his defensive question marks will dictate his future on the diamond.","The Good: An excellent blend of patience and aggressiveness drives Arroyo's profile, which he supplements with strong barrel ability. He is hitting fastballs a lot better this season and his defensive outlook looks more favourable despite the harsh reviews. The Bad: In-Zone miss continues to be a substantial hole. He will also be forced to move to 2B due to a very weak arm.","An excellent blend of patience and aggressiveness drives Arroyo's profile, which he supplements with strong barrel ability.

He is also one of the strongest batters in MiLB as explained by his cream of crop bat speed, upward swing plane, and elite 108.4 MPH 90th% EV. His sprint speed and defense also grade out above average. Unfortunately, Rodriguez has some very glaring downsides that neuter his upside. Most important, he has missed a lot of time since his pro debut with various ailments ranging from season-ending hip surgery to persistent hand issues. On top of this, his bat-to-ball skills and lack of aggression make him a massive strikeout culprit. Rodriguez�s profile is one of high risk with a sizable reward; however, the extreme range of outcomes makes him one of the hardest prospects to assess.","The Good: Quite possibly the best eye in the minors with enough plus-plus bat speed to strike fear into pitchers.

Stanifer's results are backed up by a substantial increase in velocity and overpowering 3-pitch mix. Stanifer stands at a sturdy 6'3"" and 201 lb and utilizes a short arm stroke to add a layer of deception into his delivery. He doesn't get far down the mound with just 6 ft of extension, but he is able to release the ball from a 3/4 slot at a lower than average release point at 5.5 ft. This delivery works well with his ability to generate ride on his fastball that is up +3 MPH compared to last season. Now sitting at 95-96 MPH with over 17"" of iVB, Stanifer throws his fastball over 60% of the against both LHH and RHH. It's shallow vertical approach angle works incredibly well as a whiff generator because he consistently locates it high in the zone. His slider is one of the nastiest pitches at the level thanks to its ""deathball"" shape in the mid 80s. His short arm action makes it difficult for RHH to pick up out of hand and its steep drop generates some ugly swings. Stanifer's final offering is an 86-87 MPH changeup which he exclusively uses against LHH and mainly as a put away offering. It's large vertical deviation from his fastball gives it an ideal shape to stun batters. While it hasn't generated many chases or whiffs, it has been his most effective weapon at inducing weak contact. It's a dependable arsenal filled with 3 potential plus offerings, making Stanifer a safe bet to fall back into a long relief role for Toronto if his command falters. He has showcased improved strike throwing ability this season in tandem with a large velocity bump, although he hasn't worked too deep into games, topping out at just 72 pitches.
