KYLE TEEL, C

VIRGINIA 

Out of high school in 2020, Teel stood out for his athleticism and played all over the diamond. A catcher now, Teel served as the primary backstop for Team USA and features a plus throwing arm but is still refining his defensive actions. His lefthanded swing has lots of moving parts, but he controls the zone well and has been an on-base machine for Virginia, with a .305/.409/.481 slash line in two seasons.

NOLAN SCHANUEL, 1B 

FLORIDA ATLANTIC 

Schanuel had a reputation as a pure hitter in high school and has only solidified and enhanced that reputation in college. He is a hitter first with huge power layered on top. Schanuel has slashed .357/.462/.619 with 27 home runs and more walks than strikeouts in his two seasons. A strong approach plus loud exit velocities (94.2 mph average in 2022) should allow him to profile at first base in pro ball.

TOMMY TROY, 2B

STANFORD 

Troy is a steady type of player who won’t blow you away with tools but will wow with consistent performance. He had a terrific 2022 starting with Stanford, where he hit .339/.364/.479 with seven home runs and then was one of the best hitters in the Cape Cod League, where he slashed .310/.386/.531. Mostly a second baseman, Troy has played both middle infield positions and can hang in the outfield as well.

Wood Has Towering Upside- Nationals rookie James Wood also stands 6-foot-7 and also has game-changing power.

Aaron Judge and Oneil Cruz are 6-foot7 sluggers who stand out for their power in this year’s MLB Best Tools voting. Wood spent half of this season with Triple-A Rochester before making his MLB debut on July 1. While he was in the International League, he captured managers’ attention. Wood unanimously won Best Power Prospect and also claimed Most Exciting Player in a survey of league skippers. Wood hit .353/.463/.595 with 10 home runs in 52 games for Rochester. His .242 isolated slugging was the best for a player 21 or younger at Triple-A this season.
