Kopech, Hansen and Dunning are all in the top 12 of all minor league pitchers in strikeouts this season.

IMO, by year-end Kopech should be the #1 pitching prospect in the game with Hansen around 50th overall & Dunning in the 75 to 100 range. Nothing wrong with dominating high A ball in your first full professional season.

Tatis JR. first 18 year old ever to reach 20/20 in a minor league season. Stats are crazy since April 21st.

Where would he be on our Top Prospect List?

Top 5, no question. Can even argue top 3 once Moncada graduates after Eloy and Kopech. (I'd personally put him ahead of Robert, but they're close)

He'll likely eventually be #1 in all of baseball but hey at least Lucas Giolito credits his slightly improved consistency to James Shields

It kills me that Tatis Jr is doing so well. And I don't like to cheer for a player to suck and his career end. But even if he did suck and never made it to the majors it would still be a net positive compared to what Shields gave us the last 2 years and (hold on while I puke) next year

Thanks. I was hoping he'd start at Birmingham.

 

Agreed. No idea why D-Backs had him in low A for so long. He looks too advanced for high A as well, but I'm sure the Sox want their coaches to get a close look at him first. Maybe he moves quickly next year.

Tatis is super exciting and likely to be a consensus top 30 prospect next year. But he also has struck out 30% of the time in low A ball and is hitting just .276. I will wait to crown him a future preferential all star until I see him show this kind of power and plate discipline against more polished pitching. But no doubt Hahn chose the wrong guy.
