We continue our countdown of top prospects here at The Good Phight, counting backwards from 20 to our top prospect.
Rickardo Perez,
Perez had an unspectacular DSL line but he has bat speed and is a good defender for an 18-year-old. Of all the Honorable Mention names, he’s the one who’d carry the most weight in a trade for us.
Jay: NR, Ethan: 18th, Alex: 20th
Dreaming on catching prospects is a dangerous thing. They’re historically the ones that take the longest to develop as they not only have to worry about their offensive game, they have to worry about the pitcher’s comfort level on the mound, whether he is carrying out the correct gameplan for said pitcher, how he is moving behind the plate, whether teams are alerted to his signals and whether or not teams can run on him.
