Top 20 International League Prospects

[Seth Stohs]

Baseball America posted its International League Top 20 Prospects list this morning. 

 

There was just one Twins player on the list. No surprise.

 

#9 - JO Berrios.

Thanks for posting, Seth. I usually stop reading BA at the end of the minor league season, so I would be missing this w/o your posts.

 

And, no surprise.

Berrios is the youngest guy on this list!

I think I might be the only person on the planet not excited about Daniel Norris. He had one great half season in High A and a good strikeout rate prior to reaching the higher levels. I get that he's a lefty but that 91 MPH heater isn't going to get the same results at the MLB level.

 

I just can't seem him having a ceiling any higher than an innings eating back of the rotation guy.

91 mph FB?  Everything I got on Norris has him at 93-95 mph and a plus offering.  Add that with a plus slider and a future plus change, along with an average curve; if he can get ahold of his command he'll be a challenging TOR guy.

Hopefully he doesn't amount to anything as he's a Tiger now, the Jays traded him for Price.

Severino was a$ 225000 bonus guy. Good job by that scout.
