Throws strikes and has an effective three-pitch mix. Slotting him into the top half of Tier 3; if he does take that next step in his development, he becomes an easy player to jump into Tier 2 with that god-mode fastball.

This is purely a prospect product. Low floor given all of the x-factors, but super high ceiling of an SP2 will have me push him into Tier 3. The deck is stacked against hit-only corner players, but given the strength of Manzardo's hit tool and the associated plate skills, I am going to slot him into the bottom half of Tier 3 and cross my fingers his power continues to trend in the right direction. Throwing on the video is just swing and miss after swing and miss as Jobe mowed down the prep ranks. Donta Williams - OF (Orioles, 1st Base only, 106/333) - The Orioles underslot fourth-round pick out of the University of Arizona projects to a second division outfielder or strong side platoon as a lefty bat. Slider and changeup alternate between being the more effective secondary to get those desired swings and misses and he'll throw an occasional show me 12-6 curveball. For now, he will be more of that extreme risk prep righty in Tier 2 that could move up and down the Tiers regularly as he develops. His fastball is often in the upper half of the zone, which is great for setting up his off-speed, but it lacks top end velocity and deception, which can lead to the pitch being hittable. John Rhodes - OF (Orioles, 1st Base only, 76/125) - Corner outfield profile that was a draft eligible sophomore out of Kentucky. More fluid and better bat speed through the zone from the right side. When I watch video of him, I see a professional baseball player all around. He was able to put the bat on the ball a lot, but he ended up not really putting up good numbers in his 35 games at Low A this year. His third pitch is an average changeup that does have some nice arm-side fade to it and will also get some whiffs. Colton Cowser - OF (Orioles, 1st Base and Auto, 5/12) - The 5th overall pick has a double plus hit tool and plate approach that constantly delivers the barrel to the ball. Lacking the collectible team bump and round 1 draft pick bump, the risky righty prep pitcher profile is going to keep Morales in Tier None. But also not great because that changeup or curveball need to show up to reach his potential as a front-line rotation guy which is definitely in the cards. Andrew Painter - RHP (Phillies, 1st Base and Auto, 13/25) - Came into the year as potentially the top prep arm for the 2021 draft and ended up as the third prep arm drafted which isn't that far of a fall.

His curve is probably his best pitch, but all of them are in the average realm. This pushes me into putting him into the bottom of Tier 3 rather than Tier None where I would stick most prep arms. Secondly, in the context of previous Bowman Draft releases, especially with the previous three years, this isnt in the same ballpark. He apparently will throw an inconsistent changeup infrequently as his third pitch, but I never saw it in the video I watched. A low 90's fastball plays up because of that and it occasionally will show some arm-side run as well. Top of Tier None with potential for some upward hobby mobility as he climbs Yankees prospect lists. In other words, there is a lot of work to be done with his secondaries.

But the most often cited comp for Solometo is one that is easy to see and one I am quite familiar with in Madison Bumgarner. Low to mid 90s fastball that reportedly has started to top out in the upper 90s with a changeup, slider, and curveball that he throws with varying degrees of success for his secondaries. If he can figure that out, he gets a lot more interesting as his plus power now becomes dangerous, something we like to see in the hobby. A bottom of Tier 2 guy for me, but it's a bit like Lucy putting the football down again and asking me to kick the ball. If not for that, he likely doesn't get past the single digits in round 1; in this case, he "fell" to the middle of round 1. Not a ton of in-game power at the moment for the lefty prep out of Tennessee, but he can take it deep with authority in BP.
