Adrian Morejon (only 17 years old) - Since arriving in the Dominican Republic, Morejon has seen his fastball increase to sit in the low-90s and touch 95 mph, showing good feel for both his curveball and changeup, with a chance for both offspeed pitches to develop into above-average offerings. He technically throws two different types of changeups, one of which is a knuckle-change with late diving action, while the other is a more traditional changeup with sink and run. It’s a repertoire to profile as a starter with a smooth delivery and clean arm action.
A J Puk - raw stuff, southpaw, lots of projectability, and in short season ball had a 3.31 BB /9 (not bad since command was the knock on him coming out of college). Of course that is a small sample size and command could still be an issue. His fastball sits in the mid-90s and is plus-plus, but his change up and slider needs work. He turns 22 this April.
Assuming MLB arrival is not an issue, which prospect would you roll the dice on?
