2022 Deep Dynasty Sleepers

Will continue to beat the Woo drum. Think this is the year he really picks up steam in prospect circles. Gave the prospects live guys crap for being too low on him. Nice to see people finally coming around on him. It's him and Bryce Miller for me in that system. Berroa while interesting has a LONG way to go to iron out the command. The upside is ridiculous however due to the stuff. Just dunno how much leash he'll get with the Mariners to figure it out.

From prospects who impressed scouts in the AFL on the athletic (I've seen the fastball up to 99)

. Bryan Woo, RHP, Mariners

Woo hasn’t pitched much this year after going in the sixth round a year ago, having missed half the year after taking a James Wood line drive to the head in extended spring training. His work in the fall league was similarly limited, with just 10 2/3 innings in five outings. (He allowed one run and struck out 16.) But the stuff the 6-2 righty possesses was apparent.

The highlight is a fastball that can run up to 98 mph, although it can sometimes get a little flat and hittable. He also has a slider and changeup that flash average to plus, although both need to become more consistent. His delivery is “nice, easy, effortless,” said one scout, which along with his repertoire gives him a chance to remain a starter.

How good a starter? “He pencils in as a No. 3 or 4 starter for me,” said another evaluator. A third put even more oomph behind his projection. “One of the most under-appreciated pitching prospects in the game,” that scout said. The Reds were rumored to have asked for Woo as part of the Luis Castillo deal. The Mariners, knowing what they have, said no

Luis Perales just got the bump to low A.

His debut line was 2IP 2H 1ER 2BB 4K. Caught an inning of his start can definitely see the potential.

A guy I'm liking super early out of the new draft class is Tyler Woessner looking like a late JUCO steal. Pretty sure his team won the JUCO championship and he was their ace. His line really popped in the early going 6IP 2H 0ER 1BB 11K so far. 6th rounder so probably will be able to get him for free unless he gets helium by draft season. He sits 95 touches 97 with a high 2500RPM fastball with nice rise to it based on the eye test. Looks like he has two solid breakers in the SL and CH and they are in the velo bands you want to see.

 

Perales about to be top 10 spect for the Soxspects. Where he ends up slotting tbd.

Longenhagen has River Ryan in his Dodgers top 10 kinda made my eyes pop out. Been touting him since last year. Dont always like his analysis but seems he's being noticed more and more. Has him with plus FB and 3 above average offspeed / breakers.

 

10. River Ryan, SP

Drafted: 11th Round, 2021 from UNC Pembroke (SDP)
Age 24.4 Height 6′ 2″ Weight 195 Bat / Thr R / R FV 45
Tool Grades (Present/Future)
Fastball Curveball Changeup Cutter Command Sits/Tops
55/60 45/55 40/50 50/55 30/55 93-95 / 97

Ryan was a two-way player at UNC Pembroke and one of the more exciting pitchers on the Padres backfields during their 2021 instructs period, when he hadn’t yet pitched in an affiliated game. A plus on-mound athlete with a great arm action and a carrying fastball that was in the 93-95 mph range, he was an exciting, tip-of-the-iceberg dev project for a Padres system that had recent success with two-way and conversion arms, most prominently Luis Patiño. Then the Dodgers plucked him away in a trade for corner role player Matt Beaty in late March of 2022, and we started to see parts of the iceberg that lay beneath the surface during Ryan’s first full season as a pro pitcher. He was more in the 95-97 mph range throughout 2022 and kept throwing quality strikes amid the velo uptick; his primary breaking ball, previously his 82-84 curveball, became a nasty slider/cutter in the 89-91 mph range. Ryan also has feel for killing spin on his changeup, and the rate stats on all of his pitches are very impressive for someone who has only been focusing on the craft for a couple of years. He’ll turn 25 during the 2023 season, but from a scouting and development standpoint, Ryan is still quite young and projectable. His on-mound athleticism and the pace at which he’s made adjustments manifest on the field are both very impressive and portend an ability to do so going forward. He has another two seasons to develop before the Dodgers have to 40-man him, a stretch that will be about building his innings load in an effort to make him a big league starter. Of the many relief-risk prospects in this system, Ryan is the one with the most typical-looking delivery and on-mound athleticism.

"They picked up River Ryan who is now one of the Dodgers top 10 prospects and someone I considered for the top 100" make that Law and Logenhagen on board
