2010 RivalsHigh Top 100 Baseball Prospects

The clear-cut No. 1 high school player in the class, Taillon has great size, stuff, and moxy on the mound.

The 6-foot-4 body with room to grow projects well for Whitson. His mid-90s fastball has good movement and he already commands a solid changeup.

His ability to handle the bat makes him one of the best players in the class. His power is much more impressive than his ability to hit for contact.

A two-way prospect, Cowart is a slick fielding middle infielder that can also heat up a radar gun from the mound and bat from both sides of the plate.

Allie's a two-way prospect that can play the corner infield positions as well as hit 96 mph on the mound. He has plus tools in most aspects of his game, including speed.

Long and lean Jenkins can develop his body into a stronger, more complete package. His power-sinker is a very strong offering.

A player that can slow the game down and get into the zone, his baseball IQ is very high to go along with a big frame and a power stroke at the plate.

A gap-to-gap line drive hitter, Sabol has the athletic ability to play multiple positions and is not limited to stay behind the plate or shift to first base.

Physically, Golden has been compared to fellow Alabama native Bo Jackson. He has a full and violent swing but can still hustle along the bases.

Long armed and talented, Gausman can crank it into the upper 90s with his fastball, and has two different curveballs that range from low to high 70s.

With good bloodlines, that include MLB cousins Jerry and Scott Hairston, Clarke is one of the top prospects in talent-rich Georgia. The switch-hitter can develop into a five-tool player.

Projecting as a Casey Kotchman-type first baseman, Yelich has the tools to be a MLB player but will need to develop more power to go with his fluid stroke.

Frazier is a player that, despite being drafted early, may benefit from heading to college and improving physically. The upside is clearly there but developing more stamina and strength will only help.

Throwing from the 3/4 arm slot, Tago hits 93 mph with his fastball but looks effortless in his motion. His draft stock is rising.

Much like his father, the younger DeShields projects as a second baseman. Another player that if he were 6-1 instead of 5-8 would be a first-round lock.

Certainly learning some trick of the trade from his Cy Young-winning father, Steve Bedrosian, the younger version can hit 96 on the gun and likes to push the pace on the hill with a quick delivery to the plate.

It's power, power, and more power for Bryant. Cranking a state-record 45 home runs in his high school career, he is an obvious projectable player. His defense is good enough that he won't be immediately pegged as a DH - so long as he keeps working on improving with his glove.

A slick fielder with power when sitting on a fastball, Alvord looks the part of a MLB second baseman.

Another young player that could be taken early in the draft. Walker won't turn 18 until mid-August but already has filthy stuff on the mound. A mid-90s fastball combined with a sharp slider and hard biting curve and tinkering with a high 80s cutter makes hitting against him a nightmare.

With gap-to-gap potential, Jones has shown flashes of greatness early. He has a nice approach at the plate and hit a double in the Aflac All-American game.

Raw mechanics that can be improved on are keys to his game. A 6-foot-6 lefty is going to get looks if he can get the ball anywhere close to the plate.

Has hit 99 on the gun, but prefers to stay in the 90-94 range when pitching. He is a two-way player in high school but will likely shift to full-time pitching in college or the pros.

A solid two-pitch guy with a plus fastball and developing changeup will use his time at UNC to develop into a more polished pitcher.

A move from shortstop to second base is likely in his future. While this isn't a signature season for Arizona baseball, he is the top player in the state.

Slow and deliberate are staples of Vanegas' game. He can spot his fastball and usually sits in the 90-94 mph range.

With room for physical projection, Ziomek most likely would never have been tossed into a "power pitcher" category, but can throw the ball with good velocity.

Without much that pops out as outstanding, his feel and baseball IQ serve him well on the mound. Sitting in the 88-91 mph range with his fastball, his ability to locate is key to his success.

With a few holes in his game, Wilson can really improve with solid college coaching. He has good speed but a whipping action though the strike zone has hampered him at times.

Griffin is a player that has gotten mixed reviews from scouts as either a love or hate player. The tools are there according to all, but he has been called a lock and a project. Needless to say, consistency is a factor.

With plenty of power in his lower body, Duke can add a few ticks to the radar gun with college training. Touching 91 on the radar with a solid 75 mph curve, if he ends up at Oregon State his development will be one to watch.

His pitching motion is very hard for right handed hitters to get comfortable with. The side leg life and across his body delivery are not natural throwing slots for many.

An eagle eye at the plate, Coyle has drawn comparisons to Dustin Pedroia.

A power pitcher with a durable and projectable body, Rowland has the ability to get hitters out just by blowing the ball by them, even if they are sitting on the fastball.

With an unconventional delivery to his pitches, Weiss can create deception to hitters.

Gregor has a very deliberate swing with few holes. His ability to play first at the next level is not a question, but he will need to stay on top of his game to not slide to right field or DH if he makes the pros.

Morton has represented USA in international competition so he does not shy away from top-level competition or hitters.

One of the fastest players in the rankings, Arencibia is as smart and savvy as he is quick.

Skole will soon have to decide between college football or baseball. His injured ankle slowed him a little this season.

Green was a sensation from the time he was Newcomer of the Year as a sophomore, second team all-state as a junior, and now one of the top players nationally as a senior.

His bat will be a determining factor to his success. His defense is acceptable but no one will confuse him for Mark Texeira anytime soon. His body is already fairly thick and he will need to keep working to stay in shape.

He is a power-hitting outfielder with good upside and projectable power without much growth needed.

Nicolino was recently selected to the FACA All-Star Classic in Florida.

A high ceiling prospect, Kingham has a very solid frame with a plus fastball, change and curve.

Hitting a steady 90-93 mph range, Keller has the tools to develop into a No. 2 or No. 3 pitcher. Standing 6-foot-5 with a good frame and easy release makes scouts notice right away.

The best player on one of the best teams in the nation is a showcasing opportunity that Pinder has taken full advantage of.

His long and lean body is a power arm in the making. Standing a lanky 6-3, 220, he should develop well at UNC.

May not look the part of an MLB player but the tools are all there. A wide stance and simple, balanced swing are strengths of his game. He moves well in the OF with a good arm.

Rice's bat helped lead Union to a state title in Oklahoma.

A real grinder in the game, Stephens is a kid who likes to leave the field with a dirty uniform. A 1.8 pop time with simple and compact mechanics ar impressive.
