Blake Mitchell, C, Kansas City Royals (Low-A Columbia): 3-4, HR, 2 R, 2 RBI.
A lefty-swinging prep catcher who was taken eighth overall in the most recent draft, Mitchell snuck onto the Top 101 thanks to his extremely high upside. Prep catchers do tend to be an extremely high-variance demographic, of course, due both to their high level of positional risk and the fact that they’re literal teenagers. Mitchell is a very good athlete whose catching has graded out well enough in a small sample, but his .220/.383/.380 line entering Wednesday indicates that he is still adjusting to pro pitching.
