Los Angeles Angels 

Nate Smith- LHP (BA Rank: #5)

Smith was selected in the eighth round in 2013 out of Furman University. The 6’3 210-pounder has steadily climbed his way through the organization.

After an impressive 2015 season, starting with Double-A Arkansas and a late promotion to Triple-A Salt Lake with a five-pitch mix inventory, the 24-year old has made a strong impression within the organization. Last season, Smith struck out 122 batters in 150.1 innings with Triple-A Salt Lake.

The Angles selected his contract in November and the former 2008 Team One North participant could see time in the majors this upcoming season.

Getting his first taste of the majors late last season, the righty has climbed his way through the organization as he has earned a spot in the Mariners’ bullpen in 2017. He began pitching from the stretch full-time as his fastball improved from 93-95 mph as a starter to 96-98 and touching 100 as a reliever. For the Mariners last season, Altavilla was very good, finishing with a 0.73 ERA and striking out 10 batters in 12 1/3 innings.

Daniel Vogelbach

Daniel Vogelbach- 1B (BA Rank: #10)

At the No.10 spot out of Bishop Verot High School in Florida, Daniel was selected in the second round (68^th overall) in 2011 by the Chicago Cubs. The North Fort Myers, Florida native attended Baseball Factory’s Team One South Showcase and the Under Armour Pre-Season All-America Event, both in 2010.

The Mariners acquired Vogelbach and right-hander Paul Blackburn from the Cubs in exchange for left-hander Mike Montgomery and righty Jordan Pries at the deadline last season.

Before being called up to the majors late last season, he averaged a combined .292/.417/.505 stat line with 25 doubles, 23 homers and 96 RBI. Vogelbach made his major league debut on September 12th for the Mariners last season and according to Baseball America, will contend for a platoon share of the Mariners’ first-base job in 2017.

Texas Rangers

Cole Ragans

Cole Ragans- LHP (BA Rank: #4)

Ragans was drafted out of North Florida Christian High School was drafted in the first round (30^th overall) last year. He finished his high school career 16-4 with a 0.90 ERA.

Ragans appeared in four games (two starts) with the Rangers Arizona League team. According to Baseball America, there are talks of sending Ragans to Low-A Hickory in 2017. Ragans possesses a low-90 mph fastball with two promising secondary pitches; a change-up and curve.

The Florida native attended an Under Armour Baseball Factory College Prep event in his hometown of Tallahassee, FL in 2014.

Josh Morgan- 3B/SS (BA Rank: #6)

Morgan enters his fourth minor league season with Texas, as the 21-year old was drafted in the third round in 2014 out of Orange Lutheran High School in California. He participated in the 2012 Team One Futures Series West and 2012 Ryan Lemmon Sophomore Showcase.

In 128 games at the Rangers Advanced A-class High Desert last season, Morgan had a slash line of .300/.367/.394 with seven home runs, 64 RBI and 74 runs scored.

He spent most of 2016 at third base and played the position well, though he got reps at shortstop and second base, too. He has the instincts, hands and feet to play second or third, with a above-average arm.

Ronald Guzman

Ronald Guzman – 1B (BA Rank: #7)

The native of La Vega in the Dominican Republic, Guzman enjoyed his best season of his professional career to date, as the 21-year-old slashed .274/.333/.449 with 16 home runs, 21 doubles and six triples between the Double-A Frisco Roughriders and his promotion to Triple-A Round Rock to finish out 2016.

Guzman was one of the youngest to ever play in the Under Armour All-America Game, participating in the 2010 game as a 15-year old and holding his own against older competition.

Alex Speas

Alex Speas- RHP (BA Rank: #8)

The right-hander out of McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Georgia was drafted in the second round in last year’s draft.

Speas pitched just 8 1/3 innings, making three starts (four appearances) with 11 strikeouts on the Rangers’ Arizona League team.

According to Baseball America, he throws a power slider in the mid-80s that has the highest probability of developing into an out pitch. He’s still learning to throw his changeup because he didn’t need it much in high school. Getting Speas to make the mechanical adjustments to throw more strikes will be key.

In 2014, Speas attended the Under Armour Futures South Showcase and in 2015 participated in the Under Armour All-America Pre-Season Tournament before being named and starting on the mound at the Under Armour All America Game at Wrigley Field.
