RoboScout FAAB Targets For May 7, 2023

By Dylan White
on May 7, 2023

I hope you all had a Happy Star Wars day and Cinco de (Coby) Mayo as we like to call it over here. We’re motoring along in the minor leagues and seeing some of the top-ranked prospects solidify their positions in the tiers, where the week-to-week volatility is not extreme enough to drastically change our evaluations of their “true talents” (based on their statistical production).

A key note this week is that there was a slight revision to the calculations and analysis, as Matt Eddy’s must-read park factors article came out—which also included the influence of the pre-tacked ball in the Southern League from Kyle Glaser’s article. After I applied the adjustments, surprisingly, there weren’t any real significant changes to the rankings or scores (a few rankings up and down here and there), most likely because park factors and run environment were already being applied (from last year’s numbers).

Still, we are starting to get to the point where we should be gaining confidence in using these performances this year to help inform our prospect rankings. Of course, one month’s worth of data in the context of a player’s body of work (and scouting report) needs to be appropriately weighted—but still, in dynasty leagues, the ROI of taking some waiver wire shots on these names—even this early—is significant enough to be well worth the FAAB cost..

As usual, I’ll start at Low-A and work my way up to Triple-A. Rankings through Friday’s (May 5, 2023) games.

Low-A:

Top Hitters per RoboScout (min 40 plate appearances):
1. Jackson Holliday (BAL No. 3 prospect)
2. Ryan Clifford (HOU No. 20 prospect)
3. Cole Young (SEA No. 2 prospect)
4 . Moises Ballesteros (CHC No. 16 prospect)
5. Creed Willems (BAL unranked)
6. Samuel Basallo (BAL No. 15 prospect)
7. Nelson Rada (LAA No. 9 prospect)
8. Maick Collado (CLE unranked)
9. Leonardo Bernal (STL No. 12 prospect)
10. Carlos Jorge (CIN No. 17 prospect)

A lot of these names are familiar from previous weeks’ articles and podcasts, but there is a new conspicuous name: Ballesteros, who appears on the heels of a .529/.619/.824 week with two home runs over 21 plate appearances. Last year, the Cubs’ catcher was RoboScout’s 16th-highest ranked hitter at the Arizona Complex League—and, coupled with his excellent Statcast data (plus exit velocities, barrel rates and better-than-average contact and chase rates for the level)—was a consideration as a preseason breakout. The main concern with Ballesteros is that, despite a strong arm, Ballesteros will be hard pressed to stay behind the plate on account of his heavy-set lower half (which, as a 1B/DH type leaves his future overly-reliant on the bat with very little margin for error in his development journey). But for now, the bat is still as advertised: his swing decisions continue to be excellent, while both his contact rate and 90th percentile exit velocity are over a standard deviation higher-than-average for Low-A; i.e. 60 hit, 60 power, all while being one of the youngest hitters at the level.

Top Pitchers per RoboScout (min 10 innings pitched):
1. David Sandlin (KCR unranked)
2. Steven Zobac (KCR No. 29 prospect)
3. Samuel Aldegheri (PHI unranked)
4. Wen Hui Pan (PHI unranked)
5. Blake Adams (COL unranked)
6. Frank Mozzicato (KCR No. 5 prospect)
7. Alexander Vallecillo (MIL unranked)
8. Rafael Sanchez (TOR unranked)
9. Robby Snelling (SDP No.5 prospect)
10. Cedric De Grandpre (ATL unranked)

Sandlin was the helium name in the most recent Prospect Hot Sheet and in Geoff Pontes' top 10 underrated pitching prospects article, so no more digital ink needs to be spilled on him.

An interesting name is Hui Pan, who caught scouts’ eyes in spring training this year. And why wouldn’t he? He throws an upper-90s fastball (touching 101 mph) that just chews up Low-A hitters, so much so that he uses it nearly 75% of the time. As with many Asian pitchers—Pan was signed out of Taiwan five months ago—he also throws a tumbling splitter (that is almost 20 mph slower than the fastball). If he wants to be more than a high leverage reliever, his slider will have to emerge as a useful pitch. Right now it’s low-to-mid 80s but with little movement currently.

High-A:

Top Hitters per RoboScout (min 40 plate appearances)
1. Junior Caminero (TBR No. 8 prospect)
2. Ignacio Alvarez (ATL No. 15 prospect)
3. Jonatan Clase (SEA No. 12 prospect)
4. Jackson Holliday (BAL No. 3 prospect)
5. Carter Jensen (KCR No. 10 prospect)
6. Harry Ford (SEA No. 1 prospect)
7. Yiddi Cappe (MIA No. 4 prospect)
8. Sterlin Thompson (COL No. 8 prospect)
9. Yeiner Fernandez (LAD No. 24 prospect)
10. Alejandro Osuna (TEX unranked)

To no one’s surprise, Caminero remains atop of the leaderboard in High-A as he continues to massacre pitchers for Bowling Green. We talked about Clase, who received a promotion to Arkansas and, interestingly, despite only 41 plate appearances, Holliday finds himself barely qualifying for the High-A leaderboard and landing in fourth.

The most interesting name for me is Alvarez, who was the fourth-youngest hitter in the South Atlantic League when the season started. He has the fielding chops and arm to adequately handle multiple infield positions but has been playing shortstop for Rome exclusively. The pitch recognition, swing decisions and bat-to-ball skills were hinted at last year over 71 plate appearances, and he has maintained or improved on them in 2023—while also adding mph to his 90th percentile exit velocity, which is currently average for the level despite his young age. The under-the-hood data fully supports the ridiculous 25% walk rate and 9% strikeout rate. If he can cut the ground balls and manifest the raw power into game power, he may be able to find himself in the Top 100 conversation by the end of the year.

Top Pitchers per RoboScout (min 10 innings pitched):
1. Noah Cameron (KCR No. 23 prospect)
2. Kumar Rocker (TEX No. 10 prospect)
3. Luinder Avila (KCR unranked)
4. AJ Smith-Shawver (ATL No.1 prospect)
5. Dylan Ray (ARI No. 20 prospect)
6. Mitch Bratt (TEX No. 6 prospect)
7. Keider Montero (DET unranked)
8. Ronan Kopp (LAD No. 15 prospect)
9. Jairo Iriarte (SDP No. 13 prospect)
10. Will Dion (CLE unranked)

I’m happy to see Rocker finding early season success, placing himself just behind Cameron (who also was named in Geoff’s underrated pitching prospect article). For this week, I’ll switch gears and discuss Ray (ARI No. 20 prospect). The D-backs are trying to stretch him out as a starter and thus far, he’s had success and has been able to repeat his loose delivery. His four-seamer is in the mid 90s, touching 97, and is one of only a handful of minor league fastballs that has over 20 inches of IVB and 11 inches of run. His tight bullet slider has 2 inches of lift and 2 inches of cut and generates a ton of ground balls. The changeup has nearly 10 mph of separation and has 7 inches of vertical separation from the fastball. In his most recent start, he only punched out four batters over five innings, but on the season still finds himself with a 34% strikeout rate and a minuscule 3.2% walk rate. All in all, the aggregate stuff grades out as above-average and looks like he might be able to carve out a back-of-the-rotation role (or a solid middle reliever with his fastball/slider combo).

Double-A:

Top Hitters per RoboScout (min 40 plate appearances):
1. Evan Carter (TEX No. 1 prospect)
2. Tyler Black (MIL No. 8 prospect)
3. Luis Matos (SFG No. 5 prospect)
4. Owen Caissie (CHC No. 13 prospect)
5. Jasson Dominguez (NYY No. 3 prospect)
6. Edgar Quero (LAA No. 4 prospect)
7. Henry Davis (PIT No. 3 prospect)
8. Nick Yorke (BOS No. 7 prospect)
9. Jorbit Vivas (LAD No. 20 prospect)
10. Hunter Goodman (COL No. 14 prospect)

Honorable Mentions: Pete Crow-Armstrong (CHC No. 1 prospect), Jackson Chourio (MIL No. 1 prospect), Ethan Wilson (PHI No. 9 prospect)

Black continues to be a breakout revelation for Biloxi, though be aware that he has the lowest contact rate and the lowest 90th percentile exit velocity of any of the top 20 RoboScout names at Double-A. He does, however, make excellent swing decisions and seemingly has optimized his swing path, hitting balls in the ideal launch angle at frequency that is better-than-average.

The biggest mover this week was Goodman, who delivered three bombs over 20 plate appearances with a .368/.400/.947 slash line. After being recognized in mid-April as impressing early in the season, Goodman had slowed down at the plate for a few weeks before exploding again last week. The slugger has always had massive power—with a 90th percentile exit velocity in the top 10 of hitters in Double-A—but it’s the swing decisions that have impressed, chasing significantly less than last year, and he has the second-highest contact rate of any of the Double-A hitters who have a 90th percentile exit velocity over 108 mph. He will likely end up in left field and should find himself in Triple-A Albuquerque before too long.

Top Pitchers per RoboScout (min 10 innings pitched):
1 Andrew Abbott (CIN No. 11 prospect)
2 Cristian Mena (CHW No. 6 prospect)
3 Ricky Tiedemann (TOR No. 1 prospect)
4 Emmett Sheehan (LAD No. 13 prospect)
5 Kai-Wei Teng (SFG unranked)
6 Mike Vasil (NYM No. 12 prospect)
7 Eury Perez (MIA No. 1 prospect)
8 Will Warren (NYY No. 7 prospect)
9 Ben Brown (CHC No. 6 prospect)
10 Coleman Crow (LAA No. 21 prospect)

There are two names that I want to deep-dive into this week: Crow and Warren.

The first thing that may jump out at you with Crow is that he is pitching in the Southern League—and with an IVB that has jumped from 12 inches in 2022 to 19 inches in 2023, it seems like the pre-tacked ball has had an inordinate influence on his early season success. I don’t disagree that the results need to be seen through that lens, however, it is extremely unlikely that sticky stuff would have that much influence on his pitches. He must have also made mechanical changes to achieve those gains. Looking deeper, we can see that his four-seam velocity has increased by about 1.5 mph from last year while releasing his pitches from an even lower slot (at just below 5-foot-2-inches). This low release slot, paired with the dramatically increased IVB has led to an incredibly flat -3.9 VAA (up from last year’s -4.7 VAA). We’ll keep an eye on that after he gets promoted to Triple-A but to me these are substantive gains that can’t just be attributed to the ball. The curveball has elite spin (and would be top 10 in MLB for a curveball) with sweep that exceeds the horizontal movement of nearly all major league curveballs. I’m hesitant to put a double-plus handle on that without seeing how it behaves in Triple-A, but it’s downright nasty. I find it hard to believe that his step forward this year is only pre-tack related. Add in the fact that Crow has seen 25 and 27 batters, respectively in his last two starts (ie. three times through the order), and the recipe to be a major league starter is starting to fall into place. I’m interested.

As much as I’m fawning over Crow’s results and stuff, I’m also incredibly intrigued by Warren. This year Warren has added 1.5 mph to his bread-and-butter slider and it (still) achieves over 15 inches of horizontal break on it, in large part due to his high spin rate (which would be the fifth-highest spin rate of any slider in the major leagues). Major league sliders with that sort of horizontal break do not usually have velocity that high. In fact, there are only a few that cluster in that “velocity” vs “horizontal sweep” zone (with Slider Stuff+, per Fangraphs, in parentheses): Drew Rasmussen (120), McKinley Moore (139), Kaleb Ort (118), Sonny Gray (123) and Shohei Ohtani (144).

HIs slider is by no means his only weapon. His four-seam fastball sits 94 mph (touching 96 mph) and has befuddled hitters. He also has a curveball that (also) has over 15 inches of horizontal sweep. If he can continue improving his command and continue working on cleaning up his delivery, he could potentially be a starter for the Yankees. At the very least, Warren should be able to be an effective Matt Brash-type reliever.
