2013 Major Prospect List – Prospect #1 announced!
NOTE: I moved the underrated and defensive player list to the bottom
This is the "2013 Major Prospect List"
as picked by SoftballCenter.com before the 2013 season starts.
The list contains only players that were NOT on the 2013 Major Players List or the 2013 Major Watch List list before the 2013 season.
I will add a position to the list periodically. Today I added the #1 top Major Prospect!
Here is a look back at the past Prospect Lists:
Top 10 Prospects!
#1
MI Phillip White – Scrapalators/Drash/Worth
Gm-61 Onbase-174 Plate App-253 HR-48 RBI-138 BB-40 OB% 0.688
White is playing with a 'C' team called Scrapalators but could jump up and help a Major or top 'A' team in a heartbeat.
#2
MI Steven Whaley – Linedrive Sportz/Miken
Gm-46 Onbase-121 Plate App-188 HR-38 RBI-117 BB-9 OB% 0.644
Whaley has been playing some great ball for a few years now. Look for that to continue with Linedrive as a middle infielder.
#3
SS Branden Blake – GTL/R&M
Gm-34 Onbase – 97 Plate App-140 HR-28 RBI-84 BB-8 OB%0.693
Branden anchored Taylormades offense in the three hole in the lineup last year while playing shortstop. He can do the same for GTL this year and is one of the top up and coming players in the game. If Branden keeps hustling for every extra base and puts in his work on both sides of the ball he can get picked up by a Major team soon.
#4
SS Kyle Pearson – GTL/R&M Metals/Easton
Gm-24 Onbase – 78 Plate App-102 HR-30 RBI-84 BB-14 OB% 0.765
Pearson can play outfield and infield. He has speed, a cannon for an arm, and great power and consistent line drive hitting ability. Kyle takes his talents to GTL this year where he will play outfield along side Brandon Dillon.
#5
MI Orlando Castillo – Demarini/Dirty
Gm-16 Onbase-115 Plate App-178 HR-17 RBI-58 BB-10 OB% 0.646
Young and improving by the day on both sides of the ball. Orlando locks down the middle infield and looks to climb up the Dirty batting order. The next level is in his future with a lot of hard work.
#6
CF Davis Bilardello – Baugh Ford / Mojo / Louisville Slugger
Gm-59 Onbase-168 Plate App-257 HR-43 RBI-126 BB-28 OB% 0.654
Davis I feel is maybe a little underrated. He has a solid glove in the outfield with great range. Is capable of carrying a high onbase percentage and hit home runs. Davis is still improving and should have many years at the upper levels.
#7
3B Matthew Rear – LineDrive
Gm-32 Onbase-92 PlateApp-135 HR-26 RBI-82 BB-13 OB% 0.681
The fastest way to the Major division is pitcher or third base. Rear holds his own at the hot corner and is an all around good hitter making his way upt the softball career ladder.
#8
1B Chivas Clark – Primetime
Gm-26 Onbase-104 Plate App-153 HR-42 RBI-124 BB-7 OB% 0.680
"Chevy" as he is known in softball circles, won the 'B' World with Down2EarthSports in 2012, powering them from the 3 spot in the lineup. This year he will try to do the same with his old team Primetime. Chivas has stadium power and a knack for hitting doubles.
#9
MI Chris Hansen – Famous/Premier/Easton
Gm-5 Onbase-12 Plate App-20 HR-1 RBI-12 BB-2 OB% 0.600
Hansen is a returning player to the prospect list and has had experience at Major through 'B' levels. He is currently leading off and playing middle infield for Famous out of California.
#10
OF Dan Kirkwood – Demarini/Dirty
Kirkwood takes over center field for Dirty and looks to rise to the top of the game like his predecessor Nick Santanna (currently with Resmondo)

Underrated Players
and
Defensive Stoppers
These are players I wanted to give some recognition to. The underrated players are players that seem to get the job done every year but maybe are overlooked a little bit.
The defensive players are players that have Major level defensive abilities.
