We take a second look at a dozen young players we covered earlier in 2023, with updates on changes in skills and/or performance for Shea Langeliers, Masataka Yoshida, Grayson Rodriguez, and Jordan Walker, among others.
Yordan Alvarez is showcasing his ability to hit for power with a high batting average. Griffin Canning is putting together his best season. Carlos Estévez has hit some bumps in the road. Plus, updates on Josh Naylor and Ryan O'Hearn.
There's a lot to like in Sal Frelick's skills and he could wind up being undervalued in drafts next spring. Plus, early analysis of Endy Rodríguez, Javier Assad, Gabriel Arias, and Liover Peguero.
Will Smith's skills claim he's a top-five catcher, Taijuan Walker sees his Ball% increase, Kyle Schwarber's power comes with a below-average BA, Paul Sewald has the skills for a mid-teens R$, and Alec Bohm offers batting average and counting stats.
While many believe Royce Lewis will eventually become a 30-30 guy with a .300+ BA, the skills suggest he's not there yet. Plus, early analysis of Christian Encarnacion-Strand, Zack Thompson, Michael Toglia, and Ryan Walker.
Michael Harris II was hampered by injuries in the first couple months, but he has been on an absolute tear since the calendar turned to June. Can he keep it going? Plus, Mitch Keller, Wilmer Flores, Graham Ashcraft, and Carlos Santana.
Is Zack Littell a reliable option down the stretch? What do his skills indicate? We also cover Aaron Judge, Carlos Rodón, Elvis Andrus, and Danny Coulombe in this week's Facts/Flukes column.
