He's put up high walk rates his entire career and he's also very fast with a 29.1 ft/sec sprint speed.

Dont be so quick to put Aaron Judge comps on Jones as he doesnt havethat level of power, but his potential 5/6/5 offensive profile in Yankee Stadium is a great fit and could see him land inside top-100 prospect lists before too long if he hits well to begin his professional career. Cross is a fun prospect, I could very well see him having a bit more upside than I am letting on but he is a Royals prospect so you never know. He could probably play outside linebacker in the NFL or power forward in the NBA, but instead, hes a power-hitting corner outfielder with a lofty offensive ceiling.

If he can even make solid contact then he could be a fantasy stud. Allen was a two-sport star in high school with the athleticism youd expect from a two-sport star. He is a baseball junkie. 39. Jobe also mixes in a fading changeup that flashes plus thanks to the fade, sink, and velocity separation. Thompson is more of a contact orientated approach, which may play up in Coors.
