2017
2017 MiLB top HR title prospects.
Richie Shaffer
Nick Sanzal
Jesus Aguilar
Hunter Renfroe
Alex Valdez
Dylan Cozens
Rays Hoskins
Shaffer a valuable asset. In addition to being able to play any of the four corner positions, Shaffer has some serious power with 71 homers in 501 Minor League games. After the trade, he took away an important lesson -- that a career can change in an
instant and, often, a player has no control over where he ends up.
----------------
Nick Sanzal
Like those before him, the right-handed slugger earned his spot with a strong first impression at the lower levels. After going just 5-for-33 (.152) in a 10-game sample at Rookie-level Bilings, Senzel ended up producing a .329/.415/.567 line with seven homers, three triples, 23 doubles and 15 steals over 58 games at Class A Dayton. From his Dragons debut on July 1 through the end of the season, no Class A player produced a higher OPS than Senzel's .982, and he also tied Braves prospect Austin Riley for most extra-base hits at the level with 33.
-----------
Jesus Aguilar-
The Brewers added the reigning Triple-A home run king on Thursday when they claimed first baseman Jesus Aguilar off waivers from the Indians.
In 2016 he played 137 games for Colorado Springs in the International League. He hit 30 homers and holds the AAA record for most home runs.
He played in 9 MLB games for Cleveland last year.
--------------------------
Hunter Renfroe- currently in spring training with the San Diego. He hit 30 Homers for
The El Paso Chihuahua in 133 games in the Pacific Coast League last year.
He played his last 11 games for San Diego hitting four homers earning home the National League Player of the week Award for 2016.
-------------------
Alex Valdez- plays for the Sultanes de Monterrey of the Mexican League. He hit 30 homers in 110 games winning him the league home run title.
------------------------
Dylan Cozens hit 40 homers in 134 games for The Reading Fighting Phils of the AA Eastern League.
He had the most home runs MiLB winning the Joe Bauman Home Run Award Double A as well as the Minor League Home Run Title.
He was called up to the Philadelphia Phillies on Nov. 18, 2016 and is in spring training.
-----------------------------
| January 11, 2017 | Philadelphia Phillies invited non-roster 1B Rhys Hoskins to spring training. |
| He played in the Eastern League last year with his teammate Dylan Cozens hitting 38 homers in 135 games, second most in MiLB. | |
| ------------------------- | |
| These are the seven top power hitters coming out of the minors. | |
| Look for my future book odds for players to hit 60 homers and to win the 2017 Home Run Title. Be out by March 25th. | |
| If you have ideas on who should be on the list let me know. | |
| Soon we'll cover MLB players who should contend. |
