He is also the guy that I am the most disappointed about the lack of a minor league season. He did manage to make the 60 player pool so he will get some nice exposure to the major league atmosphere. His 2019 debut also answered some questions about if he would be overwhelmed by higher competition.<\/p>\n<p>Head offers some exceptional bat speed, with above-average wheels. I envision him to be a fantasy stalwart when he gets into his prime as a 20\/20 machine, with the potential for even more. If he had a great 2020 his name would be on a lot of top-100 lists. For now, you can still get on the bandwagon and hope he bulks up for 2021.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Hudson Head swing vs Mid 90\u2019s FB <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/p5IYs5guxK\">pic.twitter.com\/p5IYs5guxK<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 PadresFarm\u00ae (@Padres_Farm) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Padres_Farm\/status\/1211791127684104192?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 30, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=cantil000joe&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Joey Cantillo<\/a>, LHP<\/strong> &#8211; The big lefty is also getting some much-needed development on the 60 player pool. I still believe that if he can add a few ticks to his fastball, Cantillo is going to be a solid major league starter. He has the frame, would be pitching in a nice home ballpark, and is left-handed. I am hoping that he can pick up a few tips from the major league guys and continue to build arm strength as he heads into 2021.<\/p>\n<p>Armed with great command and control already, Cantillo has been very successful with his 90-91 fastball. Scouts have always thought there was more in the tank and even Cantillo himself admitted that he needs to focus on adding velocity.

Yes, he was a first-rounder, but I don&#8217;t think people are understanding the ceiling that this guy could have. He was universally cited as having the best hit-tool of any of the prep bats and he should have add power as he matures as well. He also will get some nice development on the 60 player pool as well. The swing is sweet and he knows exactly what he wants to do at the plate. He strikes me as a player that will make adjustments when he struggles and he really isn&#8217;t hurt by a shortened season.<\/p>\n<p>Hassell needs to add power to be sure, so hopefully he bulks up during his time away from the ballpark. He is going to take some time, but he should be a top 10 pick in first-year player drafts for dynasty.

He also stole 9 bags in that debut meaning this is a guy to look out for in the future. I don&#8217;t love how his swing looks currently as it has a pretty noticeable hitch.

I&#8217;m thinking that a year off will leave him rejuvenated and ready to mash in 2021.

His slider is crisp and comes in around 88-90 mph and also has a heavy 97+ mph fastball that blows away hitters at times. The Padres love him and basically had their drafted centered around getting him late which means he is going to be given a ton of chances. As a college arm, he should quickly ascend to the big leagues in no time.<\/p>\n<p>Due to his 3rd-round selection, I think some people will overlook the former Bulldog.
