Catchers

Danny Jansen, Toronto Blue Jays (BA Prospect Rank: 74)cheap nfl jerseys china nike

Jansen, 23, announced himself as the catcher of the future for the Blue Jays with a breakout 2017 season, and he’s backed it up by hitting .288/.411/.474 with seven home runs and 44 RBI at Triple-A this year.

Russell Martin is still owed a whopping $20 million next season, but the Blue Jays are headed for a retooling, and that could mean the veteran finds himself in a part-time role in the final year of his contract.

Meanwhile, a late-season debut would position Jansen nicely for a chance to win the starting job next spring, and he’d no doubt benefit from bending Martin’s ear on a daily basis.

Francisco Mejia, Cleveland Indians (BA Prospect Rank: 23)

There’s no question Mejia can hit.

The 22-year-old sports a .291/.346/.445 line over parts of six minor league seasons, and he made national headlines with a 50-game hitting streak during the 2016 season—the longest streak at the MiLB level in 62 years.

The question is where he fits defensively. He has a cannon for an arm, but his receiving skills are still rough around the edges, and the Indians have given him regular time in the outfield as a means of expediting his bat to the majors.cheap nfl nike jerseys from china

He saw 11 games of action in Cleveland last season and earned a brief call-up earlier this year. It’s only a matter of time before he’s up for good.

Keibert Ruiz, Los Angeles Dodgers (BA Prospect Rank: 26)

The Dodgers have an embarrassment of riches at the catcher position.cheap nike nfl jerseys free shipping

Yasmani Grandal is having a strong season with a 116 OPS+ and 12 home runs, while the versatile Austin Barnes posted a 2.6 WAR over just 262 plate appearances last season in a utility role.

They also count three catching prospects among the organization’s top 15, according to MLB.com: Ruiz (2), Will Smith (9), Connor Wong (14).

Ruiz might be the best catching prospect in baseball, and he’s already playing at the Double-A level in his age-19 season. The impending free agency of Grandal will have a direct impact on his future, but he should be ready for his first MLB action by the second half of next season.nfl cheap jerseys nike
