Big Hype Prospects: Cowser, De La Cruz, Rushing, Vientos, Keith.
Colt Keith, 21, 3B, DET (AA)
217 PA, 10 HR, 1 SB, .321/.396/.563
Keith has built upon a breakout 2022 in High-A by doing much the same in Double-A. He?s even trimmed three points from his swinging strike rate. There?s risk he?ll continue to move down the defensive spectrum. He was being trained as a second baseman last season, but he?s made only three starts at the keystone in 2023. His bat is his carrying characteristic, fueled by plus discipline and a willingness to ambush mistakes in the zone. Wherever he winds up defensively, his bat looks like it will play in the Majors.
