2018 Preseason Top Pitching Prospects List Fueled by FaBIO: Numbers 51 through 100

As of the third afternoon of the 2018 MiLB season, here is how I rank Major League Baseball's 51st through 100th best pitching prospects. More information as to how the Fielding- and Ballpark-Independent Outcomes (FaBIO) evaluation system works and what sorts of questions I am asking myself as I evaluate each pitcher can be found in the preceding companion FanPost. At the end I will provide a summary listing of the Top 100 in its entirety by player and organization. I will list those who did not quite crack the Top 100 in the Comments and Replies section.

.

Pitchers Number 51 through 100

Each rating will be expressed on a 100 to 0 scale where the number indicates the expected percentage of league peers beaten on the stat. 50 denotes league-average, with 84 being one standard deviation above league-average ("plus", indicated by a green number in tables), 97 being two standard deviations above league-average ("plus plus"), 16 being one standard deviation below league-average ("minus", red number in tables), and 3 being two standard deviations below league-average ("minus minus").

.

51. LHP JoJo Romero, Philadelphia Phillies

0W6kRAz.0.jpg

After an unspiring post-draft 2016 debut (that followed an Arizona juco sophomore spring season), Romero opened 2017 in strong fashion in the South Atlantic League and finished up well enough in the Florida State League. At 21 for the duration of the 2018 campaign Romero sports an alluring GB/K/CTL mix and a deeper repertoire of secondary pitches. His recent assignment to AA skews aggressive given the amount and locations of his pre-2017 experience.

.

52. RHP Jose Albertos, Chicago Cubs

6aCS67U.0.jpg

The 19-year old Mexican has made it to full-season A ball where he will aim to further develop his stronger K/GB game.

.

53. RHP David Paulino, Houston Astros

oBhX0PL.0.jpg

Beyond ordinary trips to the 7-day disabled list, Paulino's ascent through the Astros' farm system after his 2013 acquisition from the Tigers has been disrupted by the previously performed Tommy John surgery, a 2016 organizationally-impoed suspension, and an MLB-administered 80-game suspension for performance-enhancing drug use that wiped out what was left of his 2017 season (during which time bone spurs were removed from the same elbow). Before the 2017 suspension, Paulino excelled at the CTL/K combo while dodging loud aerial contact over 6 MLB starts. Paulino is disabled again in AAA in the wake of a strong spring training spent with the big league club.

.

54. LHP Anthony Banda, Tampa Bay Rays

zNTjjeA.0.jpg

Banda moved from the Diamondbacks to Rays in a 3-way offseason deal and does not figure to miss his former Reno MiLB home ballpark. He seems certain to lose his 2nd option year during 2018, and breaking him back into an MLB starter's role in the second-half of the season would be in order provided that he can maintain a near plus or better K rating and ideally also ratchet up his control and batted ball marks up a few notches.

.

55. LHP Kolby Allard, Atlanta Braves

RmbVOcb.0.jpg

After being overassigned with 47th-ranked Mike Soroka to AA, Allard eventually seemed to catch up with the level of competition towards the end of the season even as reports of a decline in fastball velocity circulated. Allard has gone up with Soroka to AAA, where once again it may be hard to get an accurate read on where the duo stand relative to other prospects.

.

56. LHP Jose Suarez, Los Angeles Angels

S94MlPR.0.jpg

The 5'10" 20-year old Venezuelan again flashed elite K ability in 2017 and recaptured some of the bushels of GB that he traded away in 2016 while in more dogged pursuit of the K. Suarez' first A+ start could not have gone much better in the K/GB department and that makes this ranking seem far less bold.

.

57. LHP Braxton Garrett, Miami Marlins

While the FaBIO debut numbers were not overly impressive on their own merit, that Garrett was able to post them after having zero experience in the short-season leagues and a strong scouting profile has him landing in this neighborhood of the rankings. The June date of his 2017 Tommy John surgery has Garrett questionable for a late 2018 MiLB appearance.

.

58. LHP Kyle Young, Philadelphia Phillies

fhN2crU.0.jpg

As a 6'10" 20-year-old LHP who gets groundballs rather than flyballs (in stark contrast to 6'10" longtime MLB RHP Chris Young) and has shown some recent increased aptitude for the K, Kyle makes for one of the watch-worthy prospects during 2018 in my book. The young southpaw has yet to be assigned as I type this.

.

59. RHP Daulton Jefferies, Oakland Athletics

n6Is5B5.0.jpg

That Jefferies' K game was down in those 2 Cal League starts that preceded Tommy John surgery was perhaps a harbinger of that all was not right. As a community mock drafter of Jefferies (Round 2), I also wonder about the current condition of the right shoulder as that joint seemed to be the root cause of the interruptions in his otherwise spectacular junior season.

.

60. RHP Jose De Leon, Tampa Bay Rays

uvgqcJy.0.jpg

Before injury set in seemingly for good in later 2016, De Leon had commonly been either the MiLB valedictorian or salutatorian in Overall Rating for a stretch of almost 3 seasons owing to his ridiculous K success. Now with a spring 2018 Tommy John surgery having run its course it may prove very tough for the 2016-MLB-rostered De Leon to amount to anything beyond the K versus OFFB late reliever that his MiLB FaBIO profile has long seemed to mirror.

.

61. RHP Ian Anderson, Atlanta Braves

zutfVZP.0.jpg

The 2017 Sally League campaign of the 2016 Draft's first selected prep RHP featured some performance and injury-related interruption parallels to that of 29th-ranked Jay Groome. Only Anderson's control was even poorer and his batted ball profile was much worse. Altogether and even allowing for injury the 2017 marks were very disappointing given how well Anderson had graded out on the same scales during his post-draft debut.

.

62. RHP Domingo Acevedo, New York Yankees

GIVjAhs.0.jpg

Acevedo profiles rather like 53rd-ranked countryman David Paulino in these and other respects. The basic profile revolves around winning the CTL/K game handily and just hoping to break even on batted balls.

.

63. RHP Chris Flexen, New York Mets

wkhQ34y.0.jpg

Flexen flexed his right arm muscle and then some in a resurgent AA/A+ campaign that came to an abrupt end when he drew the short straw as the already 40-man-rostered MiLB SP who could assume a late July vacancy in the Mets' injury-wrecked MLB rotation. That experiment went even more poorly than would have been expected for a pitcher who had 7 games of AA experience under his belt as Flexen darn near posted an entirely red FaBIO line across 14 MLB outings from that point forward. Flexen is now safely back in the minors albeit working mostly in the unsafer half of the Pacific Coast League with two option years remaining as he seeks to relocate his 2017 MiLB mojo.

.

64. RHP Aaron Civale, Cleveland Indians

ujXg1qr.0.jpg

Civale sports a fastball with a very favorable movement profile that suppresses the quality of batted ball contact. As he very liked underachieved in that realm during a very fine first full pro season, anticipate much better LD avoidance in 2018. Mostly what Civale stands to be working on is how to induce more swing whiffs with his offspeed offerings aside from whatever refinements might be worthy of making to those pitches. As a near plus plus control artist he stands to be the sort of pitcher who would benefit from nibbling more while in search of the swing whiff.

.

65. RHP Jordan Humphreys, New York Mets

5YYv1Uk.0.jpg

It did not take long for Humphreys to demonstrate that his fine 2016 FaBIO campaign was no fluke in going triple green in the 2017 South Atlantic League A part of that season. His ulnar collateral ligament failed barely into his A+ promotion and the subsequent Tommy John surgery might preclude Humphreys from making an appearance before 2018 is over.

.

66. LHP Brett Martin, Texas Rangers

AJ6p08K.0.jpg

Martin got off to a hot start in 2017 but cooled off as back troubles set in. The Rangers prophylactically 40-man-rostered Martin over the offseason and with his option years clock ticking away pressure mounts for him to stay healthy and successfully navigate the AA waters this season.

.

67. RHP Sean Reid-Foley, Toronto Blue Jays

waXfzCE.0.jpg

So the prevailing trend would seem to indicate that another green Overall Rating with a GB-heavier batted ball profile would be in store for 2018, right? The redeeming qualities of a down 2017 season would have to be that Reid-Foley was still respectable at the K and also against OHB, so not all was lost.

.

68. RHP Rogelio Armenteros, Houston Astros

IaQMmUx.0.jpg

Armenteros' armamentarium of pitches is as deep as the day as is long. The prevailing (though perhaps not set in stone) forward OHB/SHB splits bias and poorer Pull OFFB Avoid marks has Rogelio projecting more as a mid- to back-of-rotation MLB SP candidate than would be typical for a pitcher with his CTL/K/GB profile.

.

69. RHP Nick Neidert, Miami Marlins

SbHPj2E.0.jpg

Neidert posts strong OHB Ratings for his level of post-high-school experience and that bodes well for a MLB SP future. His main area of developmental focus would lie in the realm of offspeed offerings, and particularly in finding a breaking pitch that can better induce swing whiffs from RHB.

.

70. LHP Jalen Beeks, Boston Red Sox

n8SqxK5.0.jpg

Excluding the underassigned 2-game Gulf Coast League post-draft debut Beeks had shown little to excite FaBIO until 2017 when he went off in AA and remained strong even after a AAA promotion. Beeks begins 2018 back in AAA with 3 option years remaining and what remains to be seen is whether he can recapture the magic from that possible breakout 2017 campaign. If so, Beeks could be trading places with a junior member of the Sox rotation by perhaps as early as May or June.

.

71. LHP Eric Lauer, San Diego Padres

hcX0kBz.0.jpg

The FaBIO "struggles" that Lauer endured in adjusting to AA life may have been the first for him in many years if ever. That the pro Pull OFFB Avoid marks have been much larger in magnitude than the 9 OFFB Rating that Lauer seems stuck on made the red 9 (and lowish GB Ratings) much less of a problem than they would have been otherwise. Yet Lauer now finds himself in the more challenging half of the AAA Pacific Coast League, where his El Paso home park and several other to-be-visited conference parks should drive Lauer in pursuit of a few more GB per outing.

.

72. RHP Alex Faedo, Detroit Tigers

wFE6yR9.0.jpg

The good but not great 2017 K performance and rather forward 2016-2017 OHB/SHB splits has this observer more skeptical than most about Faedo's prospective performance. He has been assigned to the Class A+ Florida State League, and the early results there will provide first clues as to just how Faedo may project analytically as a professional SP.

.

73. LHP Dillon Peters, Miami Marlins

IaZnkXB.0.jpg

The Marlins rolled the dice on Tommy John patient Dillon Peters as a stock-slipping 2014 10th-rounder. The gamble has paid off nicely for them with his maturing into a rather solid strike-throwing groundballing back-of-rotation MLB LHSP candidate who should also get an average-ish amount whiffs thanks largely to a big curveball. Peters has yet to toe the rubber in AAA, and a full complement of three option years allows ample opportunity for further seasoning if any more MLB starts turn out as sourly as the Saturday April 7 one did.

.

74. RHP Ryan Helsley, St Louis Cardinals

KsozoHk.0.jpg

2015 juco draftee Helsley started 2017 well in the A+ Florida State League, then slayed the AA Texas League competition before finishing with a 3-game cup o' coffee in AAA. Helsley is back in AA to start 2018, and that seems appropriate given how soon he reached that destination coming from a 2015 juco background. His OHB ratings did slip some in 2017 versus 2016 and that area and the batted ball profile should receive some developmental attention in 2018.

.

75. LHP Joe Palumbo, Texas Rangers

IolrATg.0.jpg

Palumbo may have as much power to his arsenal than just about any other LHSP prospect in this range of the rankings, or at least that was true before his elbow ulnar collateral ligament tore 3 games into 2017. He will lose his first option year while rehabilitating back into shape in the minors later this season, and that would leave him with but 2 option years to progress through at least 2 more MiLB levels healthily and successfully and mature into a big-league ready MLB SP rotation candidate.

.

76. LHP Framber Valdez, Houston Astros

SDNCSNe.0.jpg

Valdez gets dinged by some on age (24) and height (5'11") with not too many taking note of that in the span of 12 calendar months he graduated from an Appalachian League SP who had 17 games of pro experience (in the 2015 Dominican Summer League) to a Texas League SP while also being that rare LHSP who can induce the GB and get the K simultaneously. Recapturing a good bit of the lost control from 2016 would make this go through the Texas League much smoother than the late 2017 one for Valdez, whose burrowing fastball tops out at 96 mph.

.

77. LHP Ranger Suarez, Philadelphia Phillies

xdMBBEI.0.jpg

The CTL/GB/K LHP dynamics has Suarez in a similar bin with 2016-2017 teammate and 51st-ranked JoJo Romero, with the extra layers of professional experience and season-to-season inconsistency justifying Suarez' ranking here as opposed to there.

.

78. LHP Matt Hall, Detroit Tigers

9GO0TiH.0.jpg

That Hall was able to evolve so much in the direction of a GBer during 2017 without sacrificing the K speaks well for he and his offspeed arsenal. I was disappointed to see Hall relieving behind 40th-ranked Beau Burrows in the opening game of the Tigers AA affiliate and hopefully that was more of an early-season exercise in piggybacking than a relegation to relief.

.

79. RHP Artie Lewicki, Detroit Tigers

dts0TDu.0.jpg

The collegiate Tommy John survivor throws reasonably hard, does just about everything well, and has few problems battling batters of either handedness type. There are a myriad of potential MLB outcomes for a pitcher with this FaBIO profile, and it would be difficult to imagine a scenario where Lewicki does not assume one of them capably. Lewicki stands to lose the first of his 3 option years in 2018 as he plugs away in AAA.

.

80. LHP Taylor Hearn, Pittsburgh Pirates

2QhzAoO.0.jpg

Hearn's K and OHB Ratings have been phenomenal the last two seasons, and now he mostly needs to show that he can post a passable to solid batted ball profile again as he assumes larger per-game and seasonal batters faced totals. With a LHSP one ought not worry so much about the SHB Rating given how few LHB the MLB LHSP faces in a typical game. It is not possible for an MLB manager to stack a lineup with LHB against a LHSP given how few pure LHB position players are on a typical 25-man roster in this era.

.

81. RHP Nate Pearson, Toronto Blue Jays

ns8jmSm.0.jpg

If they existed, Pearson's 2017 juco FaBIO ratings would shed further light on the batted ball profile and OHB performance. The data we are left with to digest does indeed favor a power reliever projection. Rather curious is that the OFFB contact is so early in both cases for such a hard thrower. The inability to rule out a MLB SP future along with that Pearson would project very favorably as a late reliever per his scouting profile has him landing here in the rankings as opposed to earlier or later.

.

82. LHP Adrian Morejon, San Diego Padres

wFRiS63.0.jpg

In the short-season A opener to his domestic debut Morejon flashed impeccable control, better than half plus K ability, a relievery batted ball profile, and strong OHB results. Just about all of that went steeply downhill in what should have been a relatively benign transition to full-season A ball for that time of the year. That he has been assigned to the A+ California League (and the Lancaster-featuring South Division of it) to begin 2018 seems dubious for now, and the smart money would be on the big-bonused Morejon unimpressing FaBIO there.

.

83. RHP Anderson Espinoza, San Diego Padres

Ioaah5M.0.jpg

That the two sets of 2016 full-season A FaBIO ratings of the undersized Espinosa were so pedestrian after a rather stimulating 3-level 2015 pro debut portended that his March 2017 assignment to the A+ California League was not likely to go well on these scales even if his arm health had remained sound. Whether he makes a 2018 appearance remains up in the air.

.

84. RHP Albert Abreu, New York Yankees

vVmw4OE.0.jpg

Aside from the 55-batter 2017 return to A ball stretch of 2017, Abreu has struggled to post FaBIO Ratings that are more in step with his scouting profile. And that despite his being employed by two of the game's best organizations at coaxing high FaBIO marks out of its minor league starters.

.

85. RHP Trevor Richards, Miami Marlins

iJV6Cx5.0.jpg

The Division II-product and indy league find put together fantastic numbers in the opening A+ part of his 2017 season and was relatively good while finishing up in AA. One can spot the early OFFB contact in his FaBIO profile (Pull OFFB Avoid trails OFFB Avoid) that stems from the combo of his 90-92 mph fastball velocity and changeup reliance. Richards, who could well have some Kyle Hendricks to Zach Davies in him, is in the big leagues now for what stands to be a temporary basis and as a smaller-margin-for-error sort he probably needs a few months or more of AA/AAA seasoning to get his offspeed repertoire and batted ball profile into tiptop shape before he makes his next run against MLB batters. Confusion will reign supreme if Richards and 2017 prep first-rounder Trevor Rogers ever become rotation-mates in Miami.

.

86. RHP Grant Holmes, Oakland Athletics

r2Lchqr.0.jpg

After an extremely impressive 2014 debut in which he excelled at the K/GB/OHB trinity, Holmes has struggled for the most part to be plus at more than any one of those key metrics at a time. Holmes may still be suffering from the aftereffects of a disastrous lone MLB spring training appearance as he has yet to be assigned to an affiliate.

.

87. RHP Chris Rodriguez, Los Angeles Angels

A9vqo6w.0.jpg

Rodriguez' FaBIO profile was not quite as alluring after a bump to the full-season Midwest League but remained more than respectable.

.

88. RHP Matt Tabor, Arizona Diamondbacks

ydUtnjd.0.jpg

Chalk this bold ranking up to success had betting on stronger small-sample AZL/GCL FaBIO debuts of preppers with favorable scouting pedigrees.

.

89. RHP Chance Adams, New York Yankees

P72hpZ9.0.jpg

Adams still has a chance of morphing into a big league SP, but the K/IFFB/OFFB bias and forward OHB/SHB splits make it more likely that he will eventually join the MLB club's cache of power bullpen righties (barring a trade).

.

90. RHP Hector Perez, Houston Astros

IOc1w8t.0.jpg

While Perez sported one of the 2017 minors' most overpowering GB/K games and made strides forward in OHB performance, he will have to get his MiLB Control Rating up into the neighborhood of minus to better to have a realistic shot at an MLB SP future. This Astros follower would not be shocked to see Hector, who will require 40-man rostering in the offseason anyway, in their 2018 postseason bullpen even if the plans were 100% set to continue to develop him as a starter in 2019.

.

91. RHP Clarke Schmidt, New York Yankees

5Hei1ql.0.jpg

Then-Tommy-John patient Schmidt was the object of the Yankees' first-round underslot bonus affection last June. A healthy and rehabilitated Schmidt is a good bet to wind up in the GB/K RHP recent collegian fraternity that includes earlier listees like Dunning and Duplantier.

.

92. LHP Tanner Scott, Baltimore Orioles

2EzHA6C.0.jpg

Scott is surely a reliever down the road apiece owing to the control deficit but probably one of some prospective consequence.

.

93. RHP Zack Burdi, Chicago White Sox

hBn1l0u.0.jpg

That Burdi's ulnar collateral ligament tore last July while working as a AAA short reliever has me even more in favor of instead developing him as a lower minors tandem starter to begin that season. Now his MLB future is pretty much cemented as a potential impact late reliever with a debut in 2019 or 2020.

.

94. RHP Freicer Perez, New York Yankees

oM3YI61.0.jpg

The K and batted ball profile skills of the 6'8" skyscraper shot upward over a rather lengthy 2017 A second half. Keep a watchful eye on how Perez begins 2018 in those two realms in the A+ Florida State League.

.

95. RHP Tobias Myers, Tampa Bay Rays

7OsZ11T.0.jpg

The Rays snatched Myers straight up for Tim Beckham last July 31. Only a handful of preppers with such poor FaBIO debuts have rebounded to post plus or better Overall marks in the subsequent season and as yet none have found much success beyond that season. Myers might just have enough stuff and talent to break the bad debut jinx.

.

96. LHP Cole Ragans, Texas Rangers

Fe7bC3I.0.jpg

Ragans had the power-relievery BB/K/IFFB/lately-struck-OFFB thing going on in 2017 short-season A ball. Pending/recent Tommy John surgery will shave at least one year off of his development clock.

.

97. LHP Zac Lowther, Baltimore Orioles

Wm7ijCE.0.jpg

FaBIO suggests that Lowther could be the Eric Lauer of the 2017 collegiate draft class.

.

98. RHP Dustin May, Los Angeles Dodgers

WHVuFei.0.jpg

That the K game went on hiatus during the second half of his Midwest League campaign makes the 3-start dominance seen in a season-concluding California League cup o' coffee call-up all the more surprising. May may well mature into the sort of multi-dimensional FaBIO performer that Grant Holmes perhaps should or could have.

.

99. RHP Tyler Beede, San Francisco Giants

ggY31vh.0.jpg

Though the K ability would seem to come and go with each successive season, Beede fits the profile of a competent GB-inducing innings-eating starter who should fare well against opposite handed batters. The subpar 2017 season was aborted in July due to a groin injury, and at last check Beede was tossing 5 relatively clean frames while on a rehab assignment in a California League tilt in which he was upstaged by the 41st-ranked Griffin Canning.

.

100. LHP Darwinzon Hernandez, Boston Red Sox

0oYAWev.0.jpg

Having posted a beyond plus K Rating and beyond half plus Batted Ball Rating for 3 seasons running makes Darwinzon a natural selection for this list. Evolution in the direction of more control and better OHB results would increase his chances of becoming an MLB LHSP.
