The Top Ten

1. Tyrone Taylor

Position: CF
DOB: 01/22/1994
Height/Weight: 6’0” 185 lbs
Bats/Throws: R/R
Drafted/Acquired: 2nd round, 2012 draft, Torrance HS (Torrance, CA)
Previous Ranking: #9 (Org)
2013 Stats: .274/.338/.400 at Low-A Wisconsin (122 games)
The Tools: 7 run; 5+ arm; 6 potential glove; 5+ potential bat; 5+ potential power

What Happened in 2013: In his full-season debut, the former second round pick showed prowess in the field and at the plate, pushing himself to the top of the Brewers prospect pyramid.

Strengths: High-end athlete; well above-average run; tools to stick in center; good arm; bat projects to solid-average; good hand/eye; some pop in the stick; could find average or better power.

Weaknesses: Still transitioning from athlete to baseball player; reads/routes need refinement in center; struggles against arm-side stuff; struggles against spin; streaky hitter that will need to make quicker adjustments as he climbs.

Overall Future Potential: 6; first-division player

Realistic Role: High 4; below-average major leaguer/bench player

Risk Factor/Injury History: High risk; limited experience at full-season level; questions about offensive profile.

Bret Sayre’s Fantasy Take: Taylor is the guy to own in this system if forced to carry someone on a dynasty farm team. He could be a legitimate 20/20 candidate playing in Miller Park (where his power will be accentuated) and the combination of the scouting takes on his swing and his contact rate in the Midwest League leave open the possibility of some average as well.

The Year Ahead: Taylor has the highest ceiling on the Brewers farm, a five-tool player that projects to stick up the middle. But the 20-year-old is more raw tools than baseball skills at this point, and several sources are hesitant to profess much faith in the offensive profile, despite his solid season in the Midwest League. If he can take steps forward with his pitch recognition and reaction skills, and learn to tap into his strength at the plate, he’s going to offer more than just contact and speed. In the field, he has a chance to be very legit at a premium position, and that alone will end up eventually carrying him to the major leagues. If the bat steps up, Taylor will climb prospect lists as he climbs toward the highest level.

Major league ETA: 2017

PG Down on the Farm: NL West

David Rawnsley

It’s the time of the year again (i.e. the off-season) for the annual PG Down on the Farm feature. We identify a top prospect in each of the 30 Major League organizations with as much Perfect Game background as possible and delve into that PG history for some insight into his development as a prospect. Some of them might be high profile, high draft pick, ex-PG All-American talents who fans have been long familiar with. Others might be more obscure prospects who have significantly improved either in college or as professionals. Note that players who have used up their rookie eligibility are not considered. The idea isn’t to necessarily pick the best PG background prospect in each organization but the one who might be closest to the big leagues. Sometimes that is the same player, other times not. And there is plenty of variation among organizations...

SBA Sox Save Best for Last

Kinley Kitchens

Sometimes the best ending comes after a season of figuring things out. For SBG Sox American, the summer wasn’t always seamless. The team spent their early weeks learning where players fit best, building chemistry and searching for the combination that would allow them to play their best baseball. By the final weekend, they found it. SBG Sox American closed their summer with a 7-5 victory over Dirtbags Midsouth 2027 Black to capture the 2026 17U Perfect Game Hoover Classic championship, putting together one final winning performance in the last tournament this group would share this summer. For SBG Sox Coach Cooper Williams, that made taking home the championship trophy even more meaningful. “It’s been great, especially for it being their last summer event,” Coach Williams said. “It’s really cool for them to kind of pull this thing out for...

Coppy's Corner: July 28 Summer Edition

John Coppolella

The amateur players in the Cape Cod Baseball League are the future stars of the 2027 MLB Draft. The league runs from June 13th through August 2nd. Games are played at historic stadiums in Old New England towns. It’s beautiful and charming. Hollywood even made a movie about the Cape Cod League ~25 years ago called Summer Catch. It scored an 8% (!) on Rotten Tomatoes, but, on the plus side, it featured 2001 Jessica Biel in a starring role. It was so much fun writing Coppy’s Column this spring. My hope is to highlight a pitcher and position player each week from the Cape. And, who knows, maybe somewhere out there Jessica Biel is reading it. Player of the Week: Blake Schaaf – Bourne Braves Schaaf had a big week, going 12-for-22 (.545 AVG) with 3 Doubles, 4 Stolen Bases, and 9 Runs Scored. It’s been the continuation of a terrific summer for the...

Co-Champs Crowned at 15u WWBA

Will Dembo

Following a jam-packed week of competition in East Cobb, Georgia, at the 15u WWBA National Championships, East Coast Ghost '29 National and eXposure 15u National were crowned co-champions after inclement weather prevented the championship game from being played. Both clubs completed the tournament undefeated behind dominant pitching and explosive offensive performances on their way to the title. "Couldn’t be more proud of this group," East Coach Head Coach Mike Valerio said. "The amount of work that went into this moment is something no one sees. The countless team and individual practices, workouts, mindset calls and time put in makes this moment even more special. The summer hasn’t gone the way we wanted it to, up to this point, but the boys never let it affect them. We just always said we need to get back to our team standard, which is “make the routine play”....
