3 Up 3 Down: Tyson Gets Knocked Down

Rankings Notes

Eduardo Quintero (8 → 11), it's a minor move and hopefully not a trend. But Quintero gets passed by Carson Benge, who will likely graduate off this list soon, as well as fellow Dodgers prospects Josue De Paula and Zyhir Hope. By no means am I panicking, but the current stat line is hard to ignore.

Landyn Vidourek (154 → 225) was one of my favorite FYPD targets after landing in the Dodgers organization, but the profile hasn’t progressed as hoped. A continued 30%+ strikeout rate with limited slugging pushes him down.

Zach Cole (174 → 380) failed to capitalize on opportunities at the major league level, leading to a significant drop.

Tanner Franklin (115 → 265) came out of the gate hot but has since cooled off and is missing fewer bats.

Jack Wenninger (190 → 145) could be a candidate to claim a rotation spot with the Mets if they begin moving major pieces. He profiles more as a backend starter, but one who can provide steady, reliable outings.

Jackson Baumeister (216 → 430) has struggled mightily, allowing eight home runs and 17 earned runs in just 20 innings.

Elian Pena (114 → 75) looks like a future consensus top-100 prospect as soon as the next update. Now’s the time to get in early.

Yohandy Morales (374 → 285) hasn’t had the most encouraging batted ball profile. It often looked like he was overly focused on going the other way, but recently, he’s started pulling the ball more. There’s still a heavy ground ball tendency, but the early results have been strong.

Luis Lara (184 → 90) is young for the level and absolutely raking. Not sure how much power will show up in the bigs. 88 mph average exit velocity at Triple-A, and has a lower launch angle.

Salas hasn’t lived up to the hype that was put on him after being signed with the Padres as a 16-year-old. Is that a surprise? No. It would be unreal if he did. People were already putting him in the Majors as a teenager. But injuries and poor performance slowed him down.

Why the bump up?

We’re starting to see the power show up at Double-A. He’s coming off a three-game stretch with a home run in each contest, added another homer on Friday, and the batting average has climbed over .300.The contact quality has improved this year. Solid numbers, but nothing earth-shattering for what was put on Salas when he first entered the league. Still, if we tune out the noise and focus on what a 20-year-old is doing at Double-A, there’s reason for optimism. That said, the power needs to continue translating in games, or this could prove to be more illusion than breakout. There may be a bit of a sell-high window here, but it’s understandable to hold if you believe Salas is starting to put it all together.
