J.B. Woodman

Woodman was seen as a high-floor/low-ceiling center field prospect when the Jays selected him with the 57th overall pick last June. However, his performance in the Northwest and Midwest leagues paints a different picture. He demonstrated an intriguing power/speed combination and made a lot of hard contact, but he also struck out over 31 percent of the time, despite being older than most legitimate prospects at each level. His 34 walks in 271 plate appearances would be much more impressive if he was showing that patience against more advanced pitching. Additionally, it is hard to give him too much credit for stealing 10 bases on 13 attempts against low level batteries when most reports suggested he was just an average runner coming out of Ole Miss. Throw in the fact that he posted batting averages on balls in play of .407 and .667 at Vancouver and Lansing, respectively, and it is not even clear that he will be able to maintain solid batting averages as he moves up the organizational ladder.
