His best secondary is a slider, which is where he does get the swing and miss and it plays well off of his steady diet of upper quadrant fastballs. Some might say four Tier 1 players in a product would make a great product, and without context, they would be correct. Shows patience at the plate with more walks than strikeouts in his final season at Arizona as well as in his first go at the Minors. Relief risk and the need to further hone his third pitch, a curveball, would generally slot Bednar into Tier 3 without that draft status. The 6'3" lefty out of the University of Nebraska fills up the zone which sometimes is beneficial as it keeps the walks down, but sometimes it bites him as his mostly average stuff can get touched up. Flashes potential mid-rotation starter - add in being a lefty and in the Dodgers org and I am going to push him into the bottom of Tier 3.

New 20 in '20 - Bowman Scouts provide a breakdown of the top 20 prospects coming out of the 2020 MLB Draft. Ryan Cusick - RHP (Braves, 1st Base and Auto, 24/24) - The Braves 1st round selection out of Wake Forest throws gas and has all of the under the cover stats to support what is overall a double plus fastball. If he can go from high teens home run power to high twenties home run power, he starts to get more interesting for Tier 2 consideration. All in all, a defense-first Tier None player that will need to take big strides with the bat in his hand to move up the Tiers. I remember catching some of those early game highlights and seeing either a lot of out of the zone misses or getting hit hard when in the zone. Ben Kudrna - RHP (Royals, 1st Base only, 43/31) - While the Royals went way underslot with their first-round pick, Frank Mozzicato, they went way overslot with their second-round pick in Ben Kudrna.

All in all, a prep catcher that will stick behind the dish with solid but not spectacular hit and power and a plus plate approach is going to be on the borderline of Tier 3 and Tier None. Robert Gasser - LHP (Padres, 1st Base and Auto, 71/108) - The left-hander out of the University of Houston was the Padres Comp B round pick which was evidence of his hard work he has put in to build up from an uninteresting relief arm that's bounced through a couple of stops to a potential back end of the rotation starter. Like Rutschman, Torkelson was also a number 1 draft pick. He's a switch hitter and the video from the Complex is already promising with what the Mariners are doing. A coin flip for me between the top of Tier 3 and the bottom half of Tier 2, but given the draft pedigree of the first round, I am going to lean Tier 2 here. Slotting him into the top half of Tier 3; if he does take that next step in his development, he becomes an easy player to jump into Tier 2 with that god-mode fastball.

This profile up the middle would likely be a Tier 3 slotting, but at a corner, it slots more in at the top of Tier None. But this isnt your Bowman Draft that you might be used to. For now, he will be more of that extreme risk prep righty in Tier 2 that could move up and down the Tiers regularly as he develops. Didn't see him throw the changeup much, but that is what will determine if he is just an up and down starter or simply org depth as a backend starter. At the moment, high floor low ceiling defense-first player is what you're looking at and that will almost always be Tier None. Landon Marceaux - RHP (Angels, 1st Base and Auto, 80/136) - Angels 3rd round right-hander out of LSU is a classic backend SP profile. I'll slide House into the bottom of Tier One and be cautious with him due to what I see as lower floor than other guys in this Tier, but his ceiling is undeniable. I am going to slot him towards the top half of Tier 3 given the volatility of this profile. For all intents and purposes, he is a one-pitch pitcher. Both pitches get a ton of swing and misses, but the fastball, even with its plus velocity may need more movement/approach tuning to get it to its plus potential. Definitely a player to watch to see if he can lessen that swing and miss. Ruben Ibarra - 1B (Reds, 1st Base and Auto, 119/NR) - Fourth-round pick out of San Jose State was a large underslot pick and off the radar of most boards, including ours.

Colton Cowser - OF (Orioles, 1st Base and Auto, 5/12) - The 5th overall pick has a double plus hit tool and plate approach that constantly delivers the barrel to the ball. The rarely seen, if ever, in baseball tidbit to Steinmetz is that he is an Orthodox Jew, so that will likely get some regular mentions as he works his way up the minors. Cody Morissette - 2B (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 52/72) - Marlins 2nd rounder out of Boston College was slowed a bit by a thumb injury in his final year in college leading to only 6 long balls but still managed to hit enough to the tune of a .321 average. Logan Henderson - RHP (Brewers, 1st Base only, 116/268) - The NJCAA Division I Pitcher of the Year in 2021, he's a shorter (just under 6 feet tall) right-hander JUCO Bandit out of Texas has an effective low 90s fastball that is the table-setter for his double-plus changeup. Lacking the collectible team bump and round 1 draft pick bump, the risky righty prep pitcher profile is going to keep Morales in Tier None. Every week for 4 weeks will feature 21 top prospects! Above-average hit tool and plus power with a strong plate approach highlight his tool set. Low 90s velocity on his fastball currently that will need to see an uptick. He is mostly viewed as a reliever and that limits his hobby interest to Tier None until further notice.

Resources Blogs Card Companies Card Shops Card Shows Completed Transactions Forums Glossary Pricing Release Dates. Ben Casparius - RHP (Dodgers, 1st Auto only, 162/187) - Solid back-end rotation guy. An uptick in velocity topping out at 98 for his fastball and significantly improved command that lead the nation in K/9 were the primary drivers of this. Calvin Ziegler - RHP (Mets, 1st Base and Auto, 46/180) - Mets 2nd round righty prep arm originally from Canada but pitched in the Florida prep ranks before the draft. Really raw from a pitching standpoint. Nice floor of a utility player that fits the Rays interchangeable lineup model well but doesn't have the ceiling of anything higher than a Tier 3 player. Both pitches looked good in college. 2021 Bowman Chrome Draft Connor Norby 1st Prospect Auto #CDA-CN Orioles - E02 | Sports Mem, Cards & Fan Shop, Sports Trading Cards, Trading Card Singles | eBay! Until he starts to implement plus game power, Cowser will be a Tier 2 player, but if he does so successfully, watch out. Eric Cerantola - RHP (Royals, 1st Auto only, 139/166) - The super tantalizing Cerantola has a quiver full of flaming arrows that is anyone's best guess if they will hit the bullseye or completely miss the hay bale, let alone the target on it. Super high ceiling and super low floor. A back-end starter with a history of arm injuries is an easy Tier None decision until we see his return to the mound. Ended up going in the 4th round to the White Sox on an underslot deal after an up and down final college season including a month of downtime mid-season. With the hit tool being the only real plus in his arsenal, it relegates him to Tier 3 for the moment. Jordan McCants - SS (Marlins, 1st Base and Auto, 88/152) - Marlins 3rd selection out of the Florida prep ranks is a double plus runner and not much else. Easy Tier None choice for me.

His fastball sits mid-90s but will lose velocity pretty quickly during his outings. Inconsistent all around on the mound with a bunch of potential plus pitches led by the fastball and curveball but lots of unknowns due to not being focused on pitching and baseball in general. 4 for being the 4th overall selection in the 2021 MLB Draft and 1 for his ranking in our Top 600. An easy Tier None rank. A solid all around player that has the tools to stick at shortstop. The biggest drawback is that he may not get to more than 15-ish home runs. .

With added mass and MLB-driven development to sprinkle in some patience and more pop, you can easily imagine an above-average offensive player to pair with that plus defensive profile. An athletic and muscular frame that shines in the exit velocity and xwOBA metrics along with expected Hobby interest gives him consideration for Tier One. Bubba Chandler - RHP/SS (Pirates, 1st Base and Auto, 72/182) - The prep two-sport star was signed to a huge overslot deal to take him away from his Clemson football commitment as a star prep quarterback. Slider and changeup alternate between being the more effective secondary to get those desired swings and misses and he'll throw an occasional show me 12-6 curveball. While the hit tool is probably average, he has plus walk and chase percentages and plus power with big time bat speed that brings double plus max velo to the equation. Marcelo Mayer - SS (Red Sox, 1st Base and Auto, 4/1) - The 4th overall pick in the draft, that spot was likely the floor for him as he was a popular pick for the top overall pick in many mock drafts. The past three years of Bowman Draft have set an extremely high bar with the strength of its checklist. He was previously a low 90's fastball that is reportedly getting up to the mid-90s and features 3 different secondaries. His Bowman cards only list him as a pitcher as well. Luke Murphy - RHP (Angels, 1st Base and Auto, 110/NR) - Angels 4th round reliever out of Vanderbilt tore his UCL before getting to campus in the summer of 2018 and then got only a partial season when he came back in 2020 due to the pandemic. And while that may be the case, he hasn't shown the dominant stuff you would imagine when looking at him at 6'6" and 235 pounds. What we know is that the Braves still intend to develop him as a starting pitcher and has the potential to be a back end rotation piece with a mid-90s fastball, a low 80s slider, and an effective changeup. Hill is truly a low-floor high ceiling player here - injury concerns and one of the worst orgs to develop in and big league parks to call home but with serious front-line stuff potential.

Trying not to be too optimistic here, but I am going to go out on a limb and I am guessing not many others will be on it with me and put Viars in Tier 2. But without the all-important strikeout upside that would get the hobby on the bandwagon, he will be at the top half of Tier 3. Michael Morales - RHP (Mariners, 1st Base and Auto, 83/130) - The Vanderbilt commit took an overslot deal to break that commitment as it is one of the harder colleges to get guys away from.
