Care to give an opinion on these 2 players going forward? Reed & Jacob Nottingham (before I shipped him for Kazmir). But what about the rise of some other prospects such as A.J. So everyone has been talking about the success of recent graduates from the farm. Those are the two guys who are going to be near the top of C prospect lists in my opinion. Now he's grown into his skillset some more and he's inspired some absolutely silly grades on his athleticism and hitting ability. I saw him in Kane County back when his game was immature and he was more athletic than skilled. Willson Contreras is the other guy that I've heard a lot of great things about. Strong, big but athletic body with real power projection and a strong arm. Jacob Nottingham in Oakland showed the ability to be a serious contributor on offense and defense. There are two guys who really showed up on the scene and made a name for themselves. Who's your favorite or the most interesting catching prospect right now? Maybe Jacob Nottingham belongs in that discussion, too.

I would probably go Alfaro or Willson Contreras. Hi Chris, Who do you consider the best catching prospect in baseball, mainly as a hitter, but good enough defensively to guarantee staying behind the dish?īoy, 'guaranteeing' someone will stick behind the plate right now is tough. Is Jacob Nottingham, valuable dynasty prospect, still a thing?Ĭertainly could be if he plays up to his potential. Haven't run any tunes from the sisters yet, my b. I'm still of the opinion that he'll be competent enough back there that if his bat gets to where it can he'll stick. I liked the raw materials I saw for him to develop into an average glove back there - big body he controlled reasonably well, if stiffly (is that a word? Let's agree that's a word). Growth with the glove is the big thing, and those reports have been less impressive. Heard some solid things about recent adjustments with the bat that've born out in his production, so all appears to be progressing there. If a guy has offensive potential they might move that player quickly off catching because its a longer track with a lot of bad directions it could take. Francisco Mejia was supposed to be a guy at the top, Willson Contreras might not be an everyday catcher, Alfaro still frustrates, McGuire has a light bat, Gary Sanchez might not catch either. Overall the minor league catching crop is weak. Otherwise he is just not that interesting as a prospect. Nottingham's development will hinder on if he can stay behind the plate or not. What should we be looking for out of his development this year & how does he compare with the other catcher prospects in your opinion? Jacob Nottingham has started to hit as of late in AA. There's a good kind of thunder in his stick somewhere, I still thold out hope we'll see it.īandits taking over tha dance: (Wilson Karaman) Still throwing out >40% of would-be thieves, which is good to see, and our defensive metrics grade him out to a roughly average contributor with the leather overall so far. He's still 22 in AA, so I would withhold a stat-based freakout.
