Baseball America Prospect Report (Nov. 12)

THE LINEUP

Also at BaseballAmerica.com.

Cardinals catcher Andrew Knizner has turned into a breakout prospect to watch.

A’s catcher Sean Murphy has a great arm, but he wants to show in the AFL that he can hit too.

Mitch Keller has long had a dominating fastball and curveball, but his third pitch is catching up.

A 15-year-old Cuban pitching prospect has become a name to remember for 2018.

Today in the 30 Days Of Giveaways, you can win a gift card from Routine Baseball.

Later today, watch for the Arizona Fall League Hot Sheet, presented by Bowman and the Cubs Top 10 Prospects list.

Newsmakers from Sunday’s action:

Randy Arozarena, OF, Cardinals. Arozarena’s solid fall in the Mexican Pacific League continued on Sunday as he went 3-for-5 with two doubles and four runs scored. Arozarena leads the league in doubles (11), runs scored (25), total bases (63) and extra-base hits (17).

Luis Torrens, C, Padres. Torrens was buried on the Padres’ bench as a Rule 5 pick so this winter is really his first chance all year to get consistent at-bats. Playing in Venezuela, Torrens already has 94 at-bats in Venezuela after getting only 123 at-bats all season for San Diego. Torrens went 2-for-4 with 2 RBIs yesterday.
