Plus: Astros make statement with emphatic sweep
Every scouting department in baseball hopes that a Draft class produces big leaguers, from contributors to All-Star caliber players. And there's no doubt the 2023 crop will be chock full of them -- there's one in the big leagues already!
It's important not to put too much stock into a draftee's summer pro debut as it's mostly a time for a new pro to get his feet wet and gain an understanding of what it's like to play at this level. That said, getting off to a good start can often be a springboard for players to move more quickly -- several of this year's class have already advanced levels in a hurry -- and even exceed expectations. That's the hope for these 30 draftees who have had very strong pro debuts. |
