Hes a top-5 FYPD talent for me personally with top-10 overall prospect upside. But Ill be honest, Im not a big fan of the Angels track record with developing pitchers. Award winning fantasy baseball articles, rankings, sleepers, player data, and analysis. The hit tool and speed really stand out here with his speed easily being plus and the hit tool bordering on it. Every year a few guys blow pro scouts away when they enter proball, and Young was one of those guys this year. He seems destined to remain a starter and there is some value in that. (Eric), From: John Carroll Catholic HS (FL) | Drafted By: Cincinnati Reds, There are a plethora of high-upside talents in this draft class and Jay Allen is certainly one of them. Green brings massive raw power to the table and is an elite athlete shown by his blazing fast sprint speeds. But at the same time, Im likely going to get zero shares of Rocker in my FYPDs as hes almost certainly going to go too high given the name and draft slot.

All opinions expressed are that of his own. Well, for some of you, anyway. You will never confuse him for Trea Turner or prime Dee Strange-Gordon but he can pitch in 5-10 steals a season while hitting his fair share of homers. If any prospect in this draft is the next Corbin Caroll, its Jones. He has the normal issues that taller players have and its just getting those massive levers in sync. A more competitive team in FYPD drafts probably bumps up their board because of the instant impact he will provide. Toman might not provide the speed we are all craving but I think at third he will provide the power we want. He doesnt stand out in any one area and likely wont have any plus tools, but theres a solid chance hes average to above-average across the board offensively with a 20-homer, 10+ steal profile to pair with a solid AVG and OBP as well. At worst, he is probably a bat-first catcher with average power. (Cross), Ivan Melendez has monster power in his bat and was one of the best bats in college baseball last season. Instead of a 25-20 upside that I think Jones has, Cermak is in the 20 homers and 10-12 stolen-base bucket of players. In addition to his power, you could make an argument that Davis is an easy plus hit tool. Cowser does have a fairly flat swing which is a knock on his future power output. The bat has a chance to be special. Well, get ready for part 2 of that with Benny Montgomery, a 64 outfielder from Pennsylvania. Some have comped Mayer to Corey Seager which is quite lofty, but it shows the upside that is in Mayers profile.

As he fills out, hell likely be more of a 60-power, 50-run type but this could also be a plus hitter as well. Hell need to continue refining his command and strike-throwing, but the upside here is enticing for sure. Brandon Barreira, P Toronto Blue Jays. Ford is also a plus runner and posted a 6.42 second 60 yard dash time. *Another solid clustering of similar profiles of players, the prep pitchers. Hoglund made a major leap this season for Ole Miss and saw his fastball velocity increase significantly. Hes already shown a good feel for hitting with a potential plus hit tool down the road to go along with elite speed and developing power. Hes your classic corner outfield masher, and in Coors that profile gets a whole lot more attractive, I mean hes not a corner outfielder but CJ Cron is drafted highly for the same reason, big power and hes in Coors.

(Clegg), Tyler Locklear may be one of the more underrated bats in the draft class, and his profile is very conducive to fantasy. If hes available around pick 30 in your FYPD, Id be tempted. There is some swing and miss in the profile, but if it all clicks, Green could be a top-five fantasy baseball asset. Theres no speed to speak of, but that is fine thanks to his high contact, big power profile. The White Sox did take him highly and we should start to see some returns on Peyton Pallette rather soon. (Eric), From: Arkansas | Drafted By: Chicago Cubs, While his slide to the 4th round was puzzling, theres plenty to be excited about for fantasy purposes when it comes to Christian Franklin. 1.

(Clegg), Drafted: #227 Oberall | From: Coastal Carolina, Eric Brown may have an unconventional setup and swing, but he makes it work. But despite that the Orioles took him in the second round, and this late in your FYPDs, thats enough for me to take a gamble. The Mets have also done a good job of developing prep hitters lately, and luckily he isnt a prep outfielder so he might not get traded like PCA and Kelenic. Overall, Davis posted a .370/.482/.663 slash with 15 home runs and ten stolen bases against high-end collegiate competition. Jobe is going to be a beast.
