Though his given name is Ryan, Tellez earned his nickname as a baby and it's fitting for the best lefthanded power bat in this year's class. He beat Clint Frazier in the Perfect Game National Showcase home run derby on the showcase circuit last summer and impressed scouts by hitting two home runs over the scoreboard at Blair Field in Long Beach, Calif., in a preseason game this spring. But even with his prodigious power, Tellez isn't just a big lefthanded slugger. Scouts are also impressed with his feel for hitting. He has a patient approach at the plate and excellent hand-eye coordination, rarely swinging and missing. He keeps his hands back, tracks pitches well and drives offspeed pitches to the opposite field with ease. Tellez has worked hard to tighten up his body and moves well for a player 6-foot-5 and 235 pounds. He has played in the outfield this spring and has an average arm, but profiles as a solid first baseman. Tellez is committed to Southern California, but will be drafted high enough to forgo that commitment.
