Let's wrap up the HM's here before diving into the Dominican Dandies.
Fabian Pena, C. DOB: 10/18/1996. B-R, T-R. 5'11", 205 lbs. Drafted 2018, Round 25.
2018 R(AZL): .309/.376/.588, 10 2B, 3B, 5 HR, 10.0 BB%, 18.2 K%, 0.73 GB/FB, 110 PA.
College draftee from very small program. Strong numbers across the board, but in Arizona.
*********************************************************************************
Aynesber Sivira, 2B. DOB: 1/9/2000. B-R, T-R. 5'9", 155 lbs. International FA, 2016.
2018 R(AZL): .267/.367/.354, 11 2B, HR, 2 SB, 5.3 BB%, 16.5 K%, 1.18 GB/FB, 188 PA.
Small, but dynamic player. Hit better in Arizona than the DSL but SB's dropped off from 20 to 2.
*********************************************************************************
Beicker Mendoza, 1B. DOB: 2/14/1998. B-R, T-R. 6'2", 185 lbs. International FA, 2014.
2018 R(AZL): .301/.330/.462, 16 2B, 4 HR, 5 SB, 4.3 BB%, 29.3 K%, 0.84 GB/FB, 188 PA.
Mixed bag. Strong hit tool with some power, but playing 1B in 4'th rookie ball season does not bode particularly well. Extremely high K/BB is a red flag too.
*********************************************************************************
Austin Edgette, OF/1B. DOB: 7/6/1995. B-L, T-L. 6'2", 185 lbs. Drafted 2018, Round 33.
2018 R(AZL): .286/.402/.329, 3 2B, 4 SB, 17.2 BB%, 17.2 K%, 87 PA.
Older senior draftee from small college program. Intriguing K/BB in SSS....and Arizona.
*********************************************************************************
Patrick Hilson, OF. DOB: 8/5/2000. B-R, T-R. 5'11", 175 lbs. Drafted 2018, Round 6.
2018 R(AZL): .186/.280/.335, 6 2B, 3 3B, 4 HR, 5 SB, 7.7 BB%, 36.8 K%, 0.68 GB/FB, 182 PA.
Patrick Hilson might be the most tooled up player in the organization but is extremely raw and a project. Some things to really like here, though: Flashes of both power and speed and already gets the ball in the air. K rate obviously has to come down.
*********************************************************************************
Bryan Hernandez, OF. DOB: 12/24/1999. B-R, T-R. 6'2", 178 lbs. Drafted 2018, Round 18.
2018 R(AZL): .138/.342/.190, 3 2B, 3 SB, 21.1 BB%, 38.2 K%, 76 PA.
Gotta love the walk rate, but probably needs to swing more and earlier to bring the K rate down.
*********************************************************************************
Tyler Flores, OF. DOB: 1/24/1996. B-L, T-L. 6'2", 185 lbs. Undrafted FA, 2018.
2018 R(AZL): .296/.392/.390, 7 2B, 3B, HR, 3 SB, 13.8 BB%, 15.3 K%, 0.89 GB/FB, 189 PA.
Nice pro debut, but too old for AZL.

Really enjoyed you write-ups of the top 50 and honorable mentions.
ReplyDeleteOn a slight twist, what is your reasoning for not giving Sam Coonrad even honorable mention, especially in light of the opposite trajectory within the organization for him and Chase Johnson?
I might have just forgotten Sam Coonrod. I guess I was not too impressed with his numbers before he got hurt and he's been out a year. After someone pointed him out, I just didn't feel strongly enough to go to the effort to add him on.
DeleteLet's see if he pitches himself back onto the list this season.
