19. Cleveland Guardians: OF Sawyer Strosnider, TCU<\/p>\n
Strosnider filled up the stat sheet as a freshman, posting a 1.070 OPS with 13 doubles, 10 triples, 11 home runs and 10 steals in 56 games, and he has taken another step forward as a draft-eligible sophomore. He is hitting .341\/.525\/.634 through his first 13 games, and his walk rate has spiked from 8.0 to 27.1 percent, giving him a more complete offensive game to maximize his 60-power, 60-speed<\/a> potential.<\/p>\n 20. Boston Red Sox: SS James Clark, St. John Bosco HS (CA)<\/p>\n Clark plays for a St. John Bosco squad that many outlets have ranked as the No. 1 high school team in the nation this spring, and he has a clear up arrow next to his name after a strong summer showcase performance. He has a polished hit tool, plus speed and a high baseball IQ that helps him maximize his tools, and he could continue to climb draft boards as the spring unfolds.<\/p>\n 21. San Diego Padres: LHP Carson Bolemon, Southside Christian School (SC)<\/p>\n The Padres never shy away from high-ceiling prep talent in the first round, and based on pure talent, Bolemon offers as much pure stuff and upside as any arm in the class. The 6’4″, 210-pound southpaw has four plus pitches, command that belies his age and smooth mechanics. The only real knock is an internal brace procedure in eighth grade and the fact that he turns 19 in April, but he would immediately become San Diego’s top pitching prospect.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"19.
