Anderson Tejeda (SS/Texas)



Seen 5+ Instructs, 5+ Spring



Physique -


Average build; slighter throughout with limited mass; lean with squared slighter shoulders; decent athlete and some moderate quick twitch athleticism; no significant remaining projection; potential to tone into build further





Makeup -


Nothing too exceptionally out of the ordinary; competitor; fairly even tempered and softer spoken, well liked by teammates and shows some leadership qualities; can be slow to adjust and show some dismissive body language in game at times; decent foundation to work off of





Hit - Present 20, Future 40



Relaxed, moderate base further back of box with slightly open front; bent at waist, hands over plate; huge leg kick, hands load in time as stride starts after kick; deep hip coil with slight knee tuck; continues load towards and into foot strike; often extremely early through lower half, completely opens hips as hands begin; late lift, mild drag and turn; large lift through zone and bat path; plus bat speed with explosive wrists, violence through rotation; enjoys attacking out front and early in count, fastball bat; present timing inconsistent, numerous moving parts through swing; some moderate hand-eye coordination, limited barrel control through swing; limited acumen and adjustment at plate at present; always a swing and miss type bat




Power - Raw 60, Future in game 45



Tremendous lift and raw strength; explosive wrists and strong hands, can get fairly well extended through contact; swing conducive for opposite field; shows present raw actualizing in game; lack of bat to ball projection places limitation on future of in game utility of exceptional raw strength and bat speed; potential for 15+ annually with outlier peak years possible






Run - Present 55, Future 50



Straight line footspeed above average with second gear on the basepaths; acumen in reads off stolen bases in fledgling stages at present; 4.22, 4.26, 4.18, 4.15, 4.33 turn, 4.39 turn; enough athleticism and projection to maintain majority of present footspeed through maturity






Glove - Present 45, Future 45



Not a shortstop; moderate athleticism and decent close, average range; stiff, deliberate with messy actions; mediocre first step and inconsistent body control; inconsistent transfers, hair on fire glove with game pace too intense at times; enough to potentially argue utility future given modest raw athleticism and straight line footspeed, some moderate projection is there



Arm - Present 45, Future 45




Average arm strength with mediocre arm stroke; often tails and inconsistent in showings in game; arm action not conducive for accuracy and consistency; utility of arm may play down; often hurries throws at present





Realistic Role - 40 (Bench; second division utility)




Review -


Tejeda possesses exceptional bat speed and explosiveness at the plate that generates tremendous raw power from the left side; limited bat to ball utility and barrel control alongside natural swing first approach place a limitation there at the plate to have the full potential of the bat speed actualize; decent present athlete but shows mostly in straight line capacity, moderate utility on basepaths and potential to develop into utility glove in best case scenario; not confident in profile actualizing to fullest potential; high risk investment with realistic low reward major league future; .240/15 at second base

AJ Puk (LHP/Oakland Athletics)

AJ Puk (LHP/Oakland Athletics) -


Seen 2x Instructs, 2x Spring



Physique -



Tremendous length through build; higher set waist; extremely wide through lower half with noticeable excess through midsection and trunk; high risk of build further softening; sloped shoulders with a chest through upper half, large hands; poor athletic projection and limited present athleticism; big bodied




Makeup -



Goes about business on the mound; even tempered, softer spoken amongst teammates; aggressive on mound, demonstrates pitching acumen and competitiveness, shows in game adjustment; limited visible emotion in game; good foundation for in game actualization




Mechanics -



Very slight rock and adjustment on rubber from wind up, almost identical to stretch; slightly to first base side; smooth leg lift, hands set away from body and break away as lift ends and delivery begins to initiate towards the plate; moderate shoulder tilt and slight closed landing, can show firm on foot strike and collapse front half; mild effort; larger circle with wrap on back side of arm path; good arm action with decent extension, above average arm speed, slight hook in arm; shoulders frequently leak and can show some rotation at times; delivery fairly repeatable with better extension possible





Fastball - Present 55, Future 70



Quality life from left side with exceptional hop; 93-96 T98 plays higher with length, mild natural tail from left side at times with giddy up, flashes intense bore; long term command projection limited given physical and athletic restraints, confidence in pitch and mature approach with fastball will play pitch up beyond; frequently alters batter sightline, establishes armside to lefties and gloveside righties, works inside and north out of zone to both establish and execute in sequence; pitch action and deception plays up dramatically; truly a special pitch; approach to pitching will carry fastball further and allow it to actualize.





Slider - Present 50, Future 60



Flashes quality late tilting action and depth when on, 84-88; has shown to be more loose spinning two plane 2-8 depth on occasion, can let up off arm speed and extension, tells pitch; even with slot and plane can struggle to get on top of offering; mostly executes at back end of sequences, can struggle to manipulate and throw for strikes consistently and reliably; arm strength, arm speed more than conducive for pitch to show even higher; will play up and work more than effectively off of fastball




Changeup - Present 35, Future 50



Firm mild tumbling action with limited present feel for pitch; lesser deception and arm speed replication, deliberate in executing pitch, can show more hesitance in utilizing pitch when forced to in sequence; can flash decent tumble and depth on occasion; will play up given fastball and approach on mound, confident in pitch actualizing to in game utility




Curveball - Present 45, Future 55



Decent wrist action and spin; 1-7 two plane depth with noticeable improvement to feel and confidence in pitch since picking it up during Instructs; better depth and break with above average potential; 79-82 MPH velocity band, serviceable to facilitate velocity separation off fastball and remaining firmer offerings; legitimate projection on pitch with potential to actualize in game



Realistic Role - 60 (Mid-Rotation Starter)





Review -





Puk has very noticeable risk given state and what will be the continued condition of the physique; physical monitoring and conditioning will be absolutely paramount. Fastball life, extension from left side alongside approach and confidence in fastball will allow profile to actualize to major league future easily; fastball is miss bat pitch. Introduction of multiple breaking balls often risky, confident in foundation of the profile to benefit rather than regress given another developmental focus; change of pace will have opportunity to play up in game; ultimate role of mid-rotation value from left side in short term, may possess shorter window, at least in rotation capacity, given the athletic projection and the soft body

Gabriel Arias (SS/San Diego Padres)

Gabriel Arias (SS/San Diego Padres)




Seen 10+ Instructs 2016; 5+ Spring 2017



Physique -


Sturdy built frame; base to squared shoulders, mature definition and mass through upper half; definition and muscle throughout present build with more room to tone and develop, especially through trunk and lower half; potential to outgrow position up the middle, not pure quick twitch athlete and limited further athletic projection




Makeup -



Communicative with teammates and coaching staff, well received around teammates; shows work ethic and emotional maturity greater expected for present age; mature game acumen for age in field, can have lapses in between the lines on occasion; good foundation for further development and for profile to actualize





Hit - Present 20, Future 50



Pigeon toed in box, pinch and deep hip coil through moderate kick; often early on timing through lower half, front open well early; moderate load with fairly deep turn and large bat wrap; fluid loose hands with average bat speed, mild bat drag, bat will be quicker at maturity; extension can improve; mild lift through zone, bat can take time to get to zone at present, components there for improved bat path; shows fledgling two strike approach; decent pitch tracking for age and mature fastball approach, struggles to adjust at present; difficult to get inside of balls in game at present; some hand-eye coordination and barrel control; components there for future .270 production at plate, never going to be elite bat to ball profile





Power- Raw 60, Future in game 50


Can adjust and extend out front in cage, legitimate present raw to pull side in cage with backspin and lift, present build will tone further and become stronger, in game swing conducive to have actualize to opposite field as well; confident in strength actualizing in game, tremendous raw for age with projection; potential 20+ annual future at the highest level





Run - Present 45, Future 50




Not quick twitch; strides can become fairly choppy; hesitant and shy on basepaths at present; can get out slow from box, at best 4.32 from right side, shown improved run times and footspeed from the Instructional League; more room to tone and develop through build, becoming too bulky a potential concern; confident in average straight line footspeed at physical maturity; never a true basestealing threat




Glove - Present 50, Future 55



Fluid, smooth hands and advanced actions for age; quality first step and reads at present, actions of a natural shortstop; not quick twitch athlete, will always lack elite close and range, presently fringe for position, slower to right; can lose focus inbetween lines on occasion, not always there and set, not a concern; confident enough in actions, the individual and components there to project at the position and overcome athletic restraints and potential physical future




Arm - Present 70, Future 70



Fluid, phenomenal arm stroke with exceptional arm strength; easily will play regardless of defensive future; not hesitant to show full arm in game



Realistic Future - 55 (Above Average Regular at Shortstop)



Review -



Arias possesses the emotional maturity and consequent projection to actualize enough at the plate with a natural shortstop glove and plus plus arm; worst case scenario for profile is defensive future at third base attributed to possible physical excess. Profile lacks quick twitch explosiveness or exceptional athletic projection; confident enough in the profile and traits of Arias himself to play at shortstop in the very least in the short term. Exceptional strength, fluid hands and plane enough to facilitate remaining adjustment at the plate; timing most easily corrected in short term; future 5/5 .270/20 HR bat at shortstop

LHP Logan Allen (San Diego Padres)

Logan Allen (LHP/San Diego Padres)


Seen 3x Instructs, 2x Spring




Physique -


Shorter than listed 6'3"; Compact through upper half, squared and Average built through shoulders, some length through lower half, some mild excess through midsection, sturdy built for size with no remaining projection;potential for build to go backwards, limited athletic projection




Makeup -

Competitor; aggressive in sequence and confident in stuff; adjusts from previous at-bats and through multiple goes against a lineup, takes interest in studying competition; nothing out of the ordinary through participation in drill work or interaction with teammates, not a detriment in a clubhouse; good approach and on field makeup on the mound, traits conducive to actualize talents to fullest potential; good foundation for a pitcher




Mechanics -



Slightly longer arm action, moderate effort; avg arm speed, arm slightly slower at present than from Fall; moderate rock into motion from just off middle of rubber towards third base, stiff through large leg lift, stab in back with considerable shoulder tilt; firm at foot strike, slight crossfire and closed landing; 3/4 arm slot; fairly stiff and multiple parts to delivery, physical limitations are a concern




Fastball -

Present 50, Future 60


89-93 T94; cut action in lower reaches of band, more exerted to reach upper portions. Achieves decent extension and natural cut action, pitches well downhill with plane and flashes natural lefty tail, run and sinking action; can show three way action. Average command projection on pitch, shows confidence with pitch early and throughout sequence, not passive or doubting in fastball effectiveness; confident in pitch north up and out of zone, has shown ability to execute with offering forwards or backwards. Quality foundation; action to pitch there with decent arm strength, capable of actualizing to plus potential with approach to pitching and his strength.




Curveball -


Present 45, Future 55


Flashes quality depth and break, 1-7 depth in 76-79 MPH band; good spin and possesses natural ability, hand speed and wrist action, to spin a curveball. Can have tendency to roll and soften at times, can yank to gloveside and struggle to time with pitch on occasion; can get cute in sequence at times with pitch, will initiate heavy with pitch to start sequence in some left on left and right handed out front bats, can be adjusted; good feel for pitch, can better improve ability to subtract and throw for strikes, shows as softer more rolling variation when looking to locate in zone too often at present. Actualizing fastball command will allow pitch to actualize alongside it with pitch action and feel for pitching enough to project pitch to potential





Slider -


Present 40, Future 50



New addition to arsenal; yanks out of zone gloveside frequently; inconsistent pitch action, struggles to get on top and down on pitch despite slot and plane, throws in 85-87 MPH reach at present, shows more truer cutter action than slider depth and tilt at present; can drag arm and fly open, poor feel for pitch at present; flashes on at times, flash good late depth and bite can show; potential to complement remaining pitches




Changeup -


Present 45, Future 50

Deliberate with extension and deception to pitch can lack at times; yanks gloveside frequently, flashes good depth and tumbling action, arm drags; can flash true fade to armside when pronating off pitch, deliberate to achieve that action at present; feel for pitching will allow for pitch to play in game when fully actualized




Realistic Role - 4th Starter (50)


Ceiling - 4th Starter (50)




Review -



Logan Allen possesses the competitiveness, strength, fastball and stuff to function within a major league rotation at full maturity with three pitches that can flash plus in a vacuum and an advanced, aggressive approach to pitching on the mound. The overall package should be enough to overcome his shortcomings, lacking premier athleticism, a projectable arm action, a possibly questionable body long term and the effort that exists in the delivery. Potential to pitch above projection if everything breaks accordingly, confident in the actualizing of the profile given the individual himself and the fastball that goes along with him

Henry Henry 2016 Instructs

HENRY HENRY



Slighter through shoulders and waist, long and wiry arms, long fingers; moderate definition through chest; lean muscle throughout torso and thighs; slighter higher set through waist; moderate projection remaining, weight increase not extremely significant; potential 15 added pounds through physical maturity; lower maintenance physique with good athletic projection



Middle of the rubber, slighter adjustment on rubber prior to moderate rock into motion, can hurry from windup at times; moderate leg kick as hands remain joined and tight to body while oriented slightly below chest; break slightly after drive initiates, slight back half collapse; frequently drifts with inconsistent drive to plate at present, frequently rotational, significant front collapse at foot strike, can open front and finish well off to first base side; shows quality strength through lower half through bullpen sessions, potential to better incorporate and improve with further development, potential for further velocity in that regard; perpendicular to plate with retained kick from stretch, better in achieving balance point and utilizing lower half, 1.23-1.27 to plate; fluid, loose arm acceleration; medium circle, hooks and accelerates with whippy arm action; average arm speed; quality present arm strength; easy 91-94 with good late truer life, not miss bat pitch but good weak contact offering at present; shows quality athleticism despite not throwing with premium athleticism and good competitiveness on mound; good semblance of strike zone, works all quadrants and possesses good feel for fastball at present age; repeats fairly well despite non traditional aspects in delivery; achieves good sinking action and decent plane, can orient hand and wrist on top of pitches from slighter lower than traditional 3/4 arm slot; can orient slightly higher for curveball, spin with above average action, good depth and break; can lollipop and bubble, overthrow pitch at times and throw with lesser arm speed; natural ability to spin curveball and command projection will allow for pitch to actualize in game; changeup with present firm mild sinking action and occasional slighter fade, limited present velocity separation; mature arm speed replication and deception to pitch, further projection off command projection; potential above average offering at maturity.




Present maturity and feel for strike zone, loose and fluid arm strength, athletic projection and characteristics that would suggest further acumen provide for above average fastball command projection once actualized and therefore provide additional multiple above average offspeed futures; concerns in profile lie in remaining development, marginal physical projection at younger age, questions in stresses through delivery and arm intensive stress because of it, and ultimate role if body isn't able to sustain a 200 inning future. Potential for revision and signs of natural strength are present; shows work ethic for age and an interest in development. Potential major league rotation future at developmental maturity, mid-rotation ceiling

Fernando Tatis Jr. Instructs 2016

Broad shouldered frame, tapered and lean throughout remainder of present build; lean through lower half, long limbed; more mature, pronounced through chest and shoulders from previous viewings; muscular forearms; significant potential for added quality weight, lower maintenance physique conducive to retain athleticism; 20+ pounds possible until physical maturity; frame shows potential to acquire significantly more strength

Emotional maturity expected for present age; works with coaching contingent and instructors fine; high energy presence, affable and fond of teammates; well liked; shows quality work ethic for age, earlier to fields; can loose sight on instruction when around teammates at times. Shows mature acumen in areas of the game for present age, engaged and focused between the lines. Framework for acceptable makeup and work ethic through physical and emotional maturity.


Large leg kick and moderate coil through hips as stride initiates at the plate; drops shoulder and has continued tendency to try for over the fence approach at times in games, often in cage as well; hands set into position at kick reaches height and balance point, deepens load with bar and bat wrap as moderate linear stride initiates; leveraged with variances and longer bat paths at times, hands can leak out front and ahead of timing at times; strong fluid hands and strong wrists, above average bat speed, significant loft through zone; shows mature hand-eye coordination and barrel control, can track pitches fairly deep for age; tendency to lose approach consistency at times and expand out elevated, spinning from armside; struggles to barrel pitches up north and out of zone; adjustments come late given present bat path and moving parts; experimenting with larger linear base and stationary foot down two strike approach towards conclusion of Instructs; shows consistent plus raw in cage, majority of raw comes from pure strength, bat speed and loft, present strength not completely natural but flashes, physical projection will allow for significant increases in strength; potential 7 raw power at physical maturity; 5/6 game potential at peak possible with further development, i.e. .270/25+ HR potential future at the plate.



Future average foot speed, present slightly above average; shows greater second gear and straightline utility; 4.52, 4.47, 4.43 turns; 4.26, 4.21 to first base; advanced reads on basepaths, can be caught lapsing off at times; quality jumps and good closes; potential 15-20 stolen base utility at the highest level



Advanced first step and decent actions at shortstop at present; not always set at first pitch; above average present range with decent lateral action underway; lacks fluidity at position but displays raw athleticism and gets to balls with little to no wasted actions; above average arm strength with decent stroke; can play back on balls at times; can show mature tendencies with situation; physical projection, length and remaining possible weight on build likely push defensive future over left to third base; potential above average glove at third base with athleticism and actions more than passable for left side corner infield future.



Tatis Jr. displays characteristics at a young age indicative of a potential breakout and first division future at the major league level. Risk in remaining development, physical projection and adjustment is fairly extreme; upside bat from right side with left side defensive future through physical maturity. High ceiling lower level piece with a likely major league future in some capacity even if ceiling is not achieved.

Brett Martin Report (Texas Rangers A+ LHP)

Physical Description -



Large build through upper half; large chest; fairly broad shoulders; slightly higher set waist with long limbs and length throughout build; tapered through lower half and hips; thick, muscular thighs; present build holds slight excess through midsection though frame with moderate maintenance through maturity; ideal, prototypical durable rotation build with modest physical projection and development remaining





Mechanics -



Depth and length through arm path; extremely fluid, loose arm acceleration; extremely easy arm strength; smoothly decelerates arm; average arm speed; true crossfire; closed drive with length through stride; foot strike firm at times; large spine tilt; first base side of rubber; hands breaks at waist; slight rock into motion; gloveside has tendency to leak open on occasion; high 3/4 arm slot varies slightly lower to true 3/4 at times; shows in-game adjustment and strength; demonstrates quality athleticism enough to develop further in rotation; above average potential fastball command shows present average





Makeup/Demeanor -




Dejected body language at times; seldom communicates with teammates or battery mate; goes about business on mound with limited emotion; keeps to himself during pre game work and stretch; questionable desire to improve and potential failure response. Confidence in fastball; immature sequencing with offspeed pitches; talent sugjests potential to improve







Fastball (92-94 T95; Present 5, Future 6):





Shows quality late life and sinking action; present average with enough strength to presently sequence arm and glove side portions of zone; ability to consistently work corners and rely on offering forwards and backwards; major league projection in rotation capacity; elevates and changes sightline, in and away to right and left handed bats; fluid, easy arm action creates deceptive action to pitch; weak contact pitch action; true quality left handed primary offering with profile enough to increase potency of and elevate remaining arsenal





Changeup (84-88; Present 4, Future 5):



Flashes arm speed replication and moderate tumbling action to pitch and present; inconsistent arm speed replication and extension; poor pacing; forced in sequence with limited present confidence in offering; majority show firm tailing action with varying depth; moderate velocity separation at present; arm action and strength conducive for further pitch development; potential as best offspeed pitch in arsenal; will become serviceable at the highest level




Slider (81-85; Present 4, Future 5):



Softer diving action and inconsistent shape; flashes softer two plane depth with variances to sweeping action; feel for pitch, can add and subtract to pitch depth and command either side of plate; confident in left handed matchups; inconsistent arm speed replication and pitch extension; arm slot variances; lacks requisite wrist action for further improvement on pitch action, though fastball command projection and pitch maturity present potential average projection and serviceable utility in arsenal at the highest level






Projection/Future Role -



Floor: Swing/5th rotation (Role 45)


Realistic: 4th/Back End Starter (Role 50)


Ceiling: 4th/Back End Starter (Role 50)


HIGH RISK






Overview -





Brett Martin possesses quality strength and a durable rotation build with length enough to show quality extension and athleticism enough to replicate crossfire delivery from left side; quality, effortless arm action and fastball projection will carry profile and value; high risk profile due to prior injury resume with forearm and oblique concerns alongside questionable makeup; priority on fastball effectiveness weighs heavily on profile to maximize secondaries with further development remaining and limited action; future major league role and projection despite risk at present

Franchy Cordero Report (San Diego A+ CF)

Franchy Cordero (CF) -

Physical Description:

Broad, muscular shoulders; chiseled and muscular through upper half, defined large arms and large hands; tapered through midsection and lower half; high waist and butt, long legs; quick twitch athletic frame throughout; well distributed; limited excess throughout build; lean, concentrated muscle mass; shows moderate maintenance with size of frame, quality fast twitch build with definition throughout; at physical maturity and physical peak, no projection remaining throughout build. 

Makeup/Demeanor:

Keeps to himself for most part; some companions on team of same speaking language; shows desire for early work and workouts, some challenges with communicating with coaching staff at times. Can show poor body language in game; slumped shoulders, poor posture etc; high energy in field 

Hit (Present 2; Future 3) -

Explosive, strong hands; some strength and explosiveness through wrists; fluid and explosive through hands with above average bat speed; moderate leverage; shows moderate leg kick and slight toe tap and stationary two strike approaches; moderate coil through hips, narrow base prior to transfer; back of box; arm bar swing; moderate load and slight bat wrap; hands drop in load as lower half fires, shows rotation through swing; minimized barrel control; poor, inconsistent seperation at plate; lower half frequently leaks, struggles to recognize on keep hands back on offspeed; immature tracking at plate, poor perceiving spin from release; inconsistent to zone with varying plane; approach shows expansive even in two strike approach, poor extension inner third; expands outer third and elevated; aggressive early in counts; lacks refinement at plate with limitations through swing and tracking ability. 

Power (Present 2; Future 4; Raw 55):

Compromises swing to actualize raw in cage; shows moderate leverage and drops back half through with heavy lift through zone; strong explosive hands and core generate raw; inconsistent plane; fails to consistently utilize lower half through swing as hips leak and squander energy generated through swing; potential with improved timing to actualize; strong, powerful, explosive throughout with flashes of quality and pull and center field raw power from left side. 

Run (Present 6; Future 6): 

Explosive foot speed with effortless, fluid long strides; 4.12, 4.19 turn, 4.25 turn; shows frame conducive to retain footspeed through age, explosive and lean through lower half, strong quick twitch actions; inconsistencies reading opposing pitchers on mound, lacks cerebral tendencies and instincts at present; raw footspeed provides weapon on basepaths even if unrefined; large frame may eventually become more sense into later age, not concern in short immediate term. 

Glove (Present 5; Future 55):

Shows quality lateral agility and flashes instinctual reads laterally off contact; above average lateral range with fluid rapid strides and quality closing speed; inconsistencies in straight away reads; delayed first step and poor actions gauging balls off contact at current position when up the middle; potential to improve with greater repetition at position; fairly soft hands and quick twitch actions; efficient routes and closing speed; shows potential to provide value in outfield with footspeed and routes, must refine raw athleticism at current position 

Arm (Present 5; Future 5): 

Shows average arm strength with inconsistent carry and accuracy at present; will hurry throws and rush transfers without being set. Consistently acheives arm strength to throws with potential to better improve utility with greater maturity and repetition. 

Player Role:

Floor - Emergency Bat (3)

Realistic - 4th/Bench Outfielder (4)

Ceiling - Second Division Outfielder (45)

HIGH RISK

Cordero demonstrates premium fast twitch athleticism and explosive action in the field and at the plate with the potential to actualize some into greater baseball skills; shows work ethic enough to greater improve and an exceptional frame, will provide value in the outfield and on the basepaths. Severe limitations at the plate that go beyond the pure swing place strict limitations of the profile and diminish potential ceiling though raw footspeed will have opportunity to maximize chances when contact is made and raw power has an opportunity to manifest to an extent in game if committed to a power approach. Explosiveness and fast twitch actions alongside moderate projection provide major league potential as a high risk reserve outfield piece with second division starting ceiling if all actualizes
