I love Almonte. He’s not very tall (5’9”) but has pretty solid power for his size. He also has good plate discipline and great speed, though he does get caught stealing a little too often for somebody as fast as he is.

Snyder’s numbers are impressive, but in context of age and league, less so. I don’t consider him to be much of a prospect.

Pope was a small college prospect who really impressed the Yankee scouts (and others) with his mechanics. The numbers are impressive so far, but I’m not sure his stuff is good enough to make him more than a back of the rotation guy.

McAllister is a groundball machine who has posted some nice strikeout and walk numbers. The fastball is mostly low 90’s, but it evidently has enough movement to get hitters to put it on the ground. The secondary offerings are nothing special, but his slider is probably his best at the moment.

Betances has great projection and impressive stuff, but he’s had control problems so far (though he’s been very tough to hit, and is piling up the strikeouts). It’s evident that he’s fairly raw mechanically, but with his size and stuff, the ceiling is still sky high.

Heredia is intriguing because he is only 18, and is holding his own in full season ball. His fastball is in the low-90’s with good control, his curve has plus potential, and the changeup is improving.

It’s impressive that all these prospects (with the exception of Pope) are on the same stacked Charleston squad. It’s no wonder the Riverdogs are 15-3 on the season.

He’s ahead of Snyder.

I’m also a big fan of Baby Hughes.

For montero, almonte, McAllsiter, Betances, and heredia? These guys are at Charleston and am I mistaken or is that High A? or A+?
