Mid-Level to Top-10 - Who Makes the Jump?

An analysis of under the radar, mid-level prospects that have a chance to move into their organization’s top-10 prospect list.

The list includes Bobby Parnell (Mets), Logan Morrison (Marlins), Zach Phillips (Rangers), Jose Martinez (Cardinals), David Hernandez (Orioles), Dustin Richardson (Red Sox), and Bobby Henson (Orioles).

Of these players, David Hernandez should be the most interesting to watch.  He was the Carolina League leader among pitchers with 65+ innings in K% and displayed above average command/control.  However, he was too hittable last year and we’ll have to see if a change in approach (throwing change-ups to right-handed batters, something he did not do last year) works for him.
