Wednesday’s Stars
Jeter Downs, SS, Red Sox — Boston’s newest acquisition put together a two-hit day in Grapefruit League action. Downs was the centerpiece in the deal that sent Mookie Betts to the Dodgers, and earns raves for his combination of hittability and power potential. He’s got average or better tools across the board, including above-average juice.
Jesus Sanchez, OF, Marlins — Sanchez was Miami’s prize in the team’s trade with the Rays last summer. The deal sent relievers Nick Anderson and Trevor Richards to Tampa Bay for the playoff run, while Sanchez, who checks in at No. 58 on the Top 100, landed in Miami. Long lauded for his varied tool set, Sanchez showed off his power and speed on Wednesday against the Astros with his triple off of Zack Greinke.
Nolan Gorman, 3B, Cardinals — Gorman is the purveyor of one of St. Louis’ most bountiful power. He showed off on Wednesday, when he went 1-for-1 with a home run. The 19-year-old projects for double-plus power with a tick above-average hittability as well. He’s started spring strong by going 7 for his first 23, including the longball.
Andrew Vaughn, 1B, White Sox — Eloy Jimenez is the White Sox’s left fielder of the future. Luis Robert is their center fielder of the future. The next piece to install is Vaughn, the team’s 2019 first-rounder had an impressive pro debut mainly at the Class A levels and could reach as high as Triple-A in 2020 if everything goes as planned. He went 1-for-2 on Wednesday and profiles a classic masher at first base.
