Cole Prosek

Analysis
Arguably the second-best pure hitter from the prep ranks behind Grady Emerson, Prosek projects as a plus hitter from the left side, although his defensive home is uncertain. He pitched in the low-90s in high school and has potential at third base and catcher in pro ball, though he was announced as a second baseman. He is already 19 years old and is a below-average runner, so it seems the White Sox are willing to fast-track his bat. Prosek is hit-over-power, but if he reaches his potential, he should provide 20-plus homers.
