MLB draft: Top 20 outfield prospects
- Counting down to the MLB amateur draft%2C scheduled for June 6-8
1. Clint Frazier, Loganville (Ga.) High
Height: 6-0. Weight: 190.
Has much more power than you would expect for his size and has the talent to be a five-tool player.
***
2. Austin Meadows, Grayson High (Loganville, Ga.)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 200.
Meadows could be a more skilled player than Frazier but with less power.
***
3. Aaron Judge, Fresno State
Height: 6-7. Weight: 240.
Judge is monster-sized and has the power to match. Despite his size, he displays solid athleticism in the outfield and has more speed than you might expect.
***
4. Hunter Renfroe, Mississippi State
Class: Junior. Height: 6-1. Weight: 216.
Grades out well across the board, but his best tool is his arm. A team that thinks he can hit consistently could be the benefactor if his raw power pans out.
***
5. Billy McKinney, Plano (Texas) West High
Height: 6-1. Weight: 195.
Might have the best high school bat in the draft, but not speed.
***
6. Austin Wilson, Stanford
Class: Jr. Height: 6-5. Weight: 250.
Slightly slower and has less power than Judge, but he could be a better overall hitter.
***
7. Phillip Ervin, Samford
Class: Jr. Height: 5-10. Weight: 205.
Solid across the board. His best tool is his plus-plus speed, and he has some pop on his bat.
***
8. Ryan Boldt, Red Wing (Minn.) High
Height: 6-1. Weight: 185.
Has a solid stroke that produces line-drive power. Kind of behind the eight ball in terms of development being from Minnesota, though he has solid tools across the board.
***
9. Josh Hart, Parkview High (Lilburn, Ga.)
Height: 6-1. Weight: 185.
With a short stroke that keeps the ball on the ground, he profiles as a leadoff hitter in the mold of Ben Revere.
***
10. Michael Lorenzen, Cal State-Fullerton
Height: 6-3. Weight: 195.
Struggles with consistency at the plate but plays very well in center field. The tools are there, so if a team thinks Lorenzen can put everything together, it will take a chance early.
***
11. Terry McClure, Riverwood High (Atlanta)
Height: 6-2. Weight: 190.
With a simple, quiet stroke that makes consistent contact and produces some power, he has the chance to be a five-tool player. Provides outstanding defense.
***
12. Jordan Paroubeck, Serra High (San Mateo, Calif.)
Height: 6-2. Weight: 190.
Impressive-looking player who has worked out with Barry Bonds and grades out well across the board.
***
13. Cord Sandberg, Manatee High (Bradenton, Fla.)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 215.
Two-sport athlete with a commitment to Mississippi State to play quarterback. Has a chance to be a five-tool player on the diamond.
***
14. Ivan Wilson, Ruston (La.) High
Height: 6-3. Weight: 220.
Another two-sport athlete, Wilson no doubt is going to play baseball over football. He has the bat and raw power to become a standout hitter.
***
15. Matthew McPhearson, Riverdale Baptist High (Upper Marlboro, Md.)
Height: 5-10. Weight: 170.
Has plus-plus speed (6.2-second 60-yard dash). Combined with his excellent eye at the plate, it allows him to get on base regularly. Could be a big basestealing threat at the next level.
***
16. Stephen Wrenn ,Walton High (Marietta, Ga.)
Height: 6-2. Weight: 175.
Blessed with outstanding speed, especially out of the right-handed batter's box, and should also be a basestealing threat in the pros.
***
17. Jared King, Kansas State
Class: Junior. Height: 6-1. Weight: 200.
Has the bat to hit for average and power. His weakest tool is his arm; might be destined for left field.
***
18. Michael O'Neill, Michigan
Class: Junior. Height: 6-1. Weight: 195.
Has the bloodlines teams love, as Paul O'Neill is his uncle. He can flat-out hit, with a stroke that produces consistent contact.
***
19. Justin Williams, Terrebonne High (Houma, La.)
Height: 6-2. Weight: 215.
Has outstanding raw power, but right now that's pretty much it.
***
20. William Abreu, Mater Academy Charter (Hialeah Gardens, Fla.)
Height: 6-3. Weight: 200.
A solid left-handed hitter across the board but doesn't do anything that truly stands out just yet.
