Identifying a breakout prospect in baseball is similar to trying to pinpoint the next great penny stock, in that both are valued lightly today but have the potential to payoff big in the future. But similar to those purchasing shares in a company like Twitter, pre-IPO, very few people were buying stock in Reynaldo Lopez or Wilmer Difo this time last year as future household prospects in the Nationals’ farm system.

Next week I will publish my 2015 Washington Nationals Top-25 prospects list, but today I highlight four names outside my Top-10 list with a chance to see their stock skyrocket like shares of Apple.

Rafael Bautista CF

An outstanding pure athlete with plus to plus-plus speed, Bautista was one of the many stars for Hagerstown last year, hitting .290 with 60 stolen bases for the Suns in 2014. Only 21-year-old, Bautista projects as an above-average to plus defender in center field due to his impressive instincts, excellent speed, and fringe-average arm. His defensive skills and game-changing speed should allow him to reach the majors as a backup outfielder, and if his slender 6-2 165lbs. frame matures physically, Bautista could develop into a second-division starter.

Brian Goodwin CF

Kamagra tablets are available in viagra shop 3 dosage sizes, i.e. 100mg, 50 mg, and 25 mg. This health condition requires your attention rather than your cialis generic cipla worry about it. The major cases are due to psychological aspects rising due to tension and anxiety, family complications, depression, and nervous ailments; cialis on line raindogscine.com due to diseases or malnourishment. The unhealthful eating habits and lifestyle choices that help keep your veins robust and help check sort browse around over here best viagra price 2 diabetes. Washington’s third selection in the 2011 draft, 34th overall, Goodwin has lost his prospect luster the past two seasons, struggling at Harrisburg in 2013 and stubbing his toe at Triple-A in 2014, hitting a disappointing .219/342/.318 with only 4 home runs and 6 stolen bases. Still only 24-year-old, Goodwin is currently suffering from a terrible case of prospect fatigue, as he is still a quality athlete who flashes five average or better tools, yet struggles to convert his talent into on-field production.

After two consecutive subpar seasons, Goodwin has rightfully fallen off the prospect lists, but I am still willing to gamble that the “light turns on” in 2015. Goodwin has far too much natural ability to give up on, and the Nationals have done well in recent years with late blooming outfielders. Goodwin is my “pick to click” in 2015.

Nick Pivetta RHP

Washington’s 4th round pick in 2013, Pivetta was selected as an extremely raw junior college pitcher after spending his early years with the Canadian Junior National team. A massive man listed at 6-5 220lbs., Pivetta can flash three average or better pitches, highlighted by a powerful mid-90s fastball. The 22-year-old Pivetta held his own at Low-A in 2014, posting a 4.22 ERA with 98 strikeouts over 132.1 innings pitched. Certainly Pivetta has plenty of “boom or bust” potential as a prospect, but his talent will be difficult to overlook even in the loaded 2015 Potomac rotation. If things come together for Pivetta, he has the potential to be a good #4 or #5 starter in the major leagues.

Jefry Rodriguez RHP

Signed by Washington as a non-drafted free agent back in 2012, Rodriguez is a former shortstop who was immediately converted to pitching. Although extremely raw on the mound, Rodriguez has shown promise with an explosive mid-90s fastball and the ability to spin a hard mid-80s curveball. The Nationals tried to aggressively promote him to Low-A last season, but he struggled with the assignment, allowing 27 hits in only 17 innings pitched before succumbing to an injury. Only 21-year-old, Rodriguez should make a return to Hagerstown this season. Rodriguez is the biggest sleeper in the organization and has the upside of a #4 starter or late-inning reliever in the majors.
