Skinny: On a team littered with Top 100 prospects, Moreno’s start to the season has been loud. Moreno has always been a good athlete with the hand-eye coordination to make a lot of contact, but swing adjustments and more strength have helped his power show up more in games.

Skinny: Kirby has far and away the best control in the Seattle system, which is all the more exciting considering the jump his stuff took in 2020. His fastball now touches triple digits and his slider is a crisp breaker that projects as plus.

Skinny: As if Austin Meadows and Tyler Glasnow weren’t a great enough haul, the Rays also added Shane Baz as the third piece in the deal that sent Chris Archer to Pittsburgh in 2018. The big righthander has the stuff to dominate out of the bullpen nearly immediately, but the Rays are still going to give him a chance to start. If either of his changeup or curveball take steps forward, he might find his way into a starter’s role, where he would immensely increase his value. He’s starting the season at Double-A Montgomery.

Skinny: The centerpiece prospect in the 2021 deadline deal that sent Max Scherzer and Trea Turner to the Dodgers, Ruiz has developed into one of the game's elite, most well-rounded catchers in the game.

Skinny: Alvarez has a very advanced bat for a teenaged catcher. He's shown the aptitude to be a solid defensive catcher as well. Now he just needs plenty of work behind the plate.

Skinny: Lodolo made a name for himself as a premier control artist, and he’s re-established that reputation again in 2021. After walking exactly nobody in his pro debut, he’s used a strong three-pitch mix to vex hitters in the Double-A South League, where he and Hunter Greene have formed a fearsome one-two punch.

Skinny: Detmers has long been known as one of the more polished pitching prospects in the game, with a four-pitch mix and command to all quadrants of the strike zone. Now, his fastball has ticked up a few notches, which makes him even more tantalizing. Sent to Double-A to begin his pro career, the Louisville product whiffed 60 hitters against 13 walks through his first eight starts, good for a strikeout-to-walk rate of better than 4-to-1.

Skinny: The questions with Duran have mostly revolved around whether he will develop much in the way of power. The Red Sox made some alterations to his swing last summer at the alternate site and he responded by showing more juice over the winter in Puerto Rico and again at big league spring training. Extra power, paired with the possibility of sticking in center field, could add up to a very enticing player.

Skinny: The Nationals' first-round pick from 2020 boasts a double-plus fastball and three off speed pitches that each rate as above-average or better. The best of the bunch is a potentially plus slider.

Skinny: Lynch has loud stuff with a mid-90s fastball and two swing-and-miss secondaries from the left side. He’s potentially the best of the Royals bevy of young pitchers.
