Tyler Krieger makes one of the biggest leaps in our prospect rankings, jumping 11 spots from last season. The 23-year-old switch-hitter joined the Indians in 2015 when he was drafted in the fourth round out of Clemson University.
Krieger did not make his organizational debut until 2016 though, as he dealt with a shoulder injury in college and the Indians took the cautious route. He was originally a shortstop at Clemson, though the injury forced him to be a designated hitter his final year and he played only second base at both Class-A Lake County and Advanced-A Lynchburg this past summer.
