May 20th, 2021 Share share-square-1494833 The best pure hitter in the Minor Leagues should need no introduction. Rays middle infielder Wander Franco ranks No. 1 on MLB Pipeline's Top 100 Prospects list and has earned one of just two 80 hit grades (on the 20-80 scouting scale) we've ever bestowed on a prospect. The other went to Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Who else stands out with their ability to barrel the ball consistently? Below, we break down the best hitting prospect in each organization. AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST Martin was MLB Pipeline’s No. 2 Draft prospect last year and went to the Blue Jays at No. 5 for a big reason -- his bat should play anywhere. The right-handed slugger was a .368 hitter over his three years at Vanderbilt, where he played against tough SEC arms. His .392 average over 65 games in 2019 was particularly impressive. Recognizing that Martin’s approach and efficient stroke could plug right into the pros, the Blue Jays sent their top 2020 pick aggressively to Double-A New Hampshire to open his first Minor League season.
