Sold out for pull-side power in the Circuit season which lead to swing and miss concerns, but righted the ship during the spring prep season where I saw him deposit the ball over the fence to centerfield and some opposite-field shots as well. I've seen him smoke balls, but the power is a lesser part of his game and is more gap-oriented than over the fence. Brewers dev org likely gets the most out of him, but at his height, a lot has to continue to go right and that has me sliding him into the top of Tier None instead of the bottom of Tier 3.

Eric Silva - RHP (Giants, 1st Base only, 115/162) - Giants took the Kyle Harrison approach again with taking a prep arm and paying him overslot money - in Silva's case, a million dollars over slot.

Lacking the pedigree and huge upside, TJ pitchers are almost always going to end up in Tier None which is where I am putting Webb. Catchers do make it difficult to push into Tier 1 though, and Adley is the only one in recent memory that probably deserved that Tier ranking.

Looks to get weak contact and ground balls featuring mainly a sinker/slider combo and will mix in a changeup. Steven Hajjar - LHP (Twins, 1st Base and Auto, 61/114) - A well-known name since his prep days, Hajjar was taken in the second round by the Twins at slot value.
