Daily notes on prospects from lead prospect analyst Eric Longenhagen. Read previous installments here.

Adbert Alzolay, RHP, Chicago NL (Profile)
Level: Hi-A Age: 22   Org Rank: NR   Top 100: NR
Line: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 0 BB, 2 R, 7 K

Notes
His delivery is a bit rough (though it’s more efficient than it used to be), but Alzolay has good stuff, sitting in the mid-90s and topping out at 97 with arm-side run. He’ll flash an average changeup and can vary his breaking ball’s shape, at times exhibiting 12-6 movement and showing two-plane wipe at others. He has a chance for a plus-plus fastball an two solid-average secondaries, perhaps a tick above, to go with fringe command.

Jonathan Arauz, 2B, Houston (Profile)
Level: Low-A   Age: 18   Org Rank: HM   Top 100: NR
Line: 3-for-5, 2B, 3B
Notes
Arauz has a natural feel for hitting. He moves the barrel around the strike zone, can make mid-flight adjustments to breaking balls, and he already has a coherent two-strike approach. He’ll need to grow into some pop, but he has the frame for it. He missed 50 games this year after a positive drug test.

Bobby Bradley, 1B, Cleveland (Profile)
Level: Double-A   Age: 21   Org Rank: 5   Top 100: NR
Line: 3-for-5, 3 HR

Notes
Bradley is whiff-prone but an interesting first-base-only prospect because of how reliably he got to his plus raw power despite all the strikeouts. This season, Bradley hasn’t been able to put the ball in the air quite as frequently as he has in the past and, while his strikeout rate is down, so is his ISO. He’s still on pace for 20-plus homers.

Zack Granite, CF, Minnesota (Profile)
Level: Triple-A  Age: 24   Org Rank: 12   Top 100: NR
Line: 3-for-5

Notes
Granite missed April with an oblique strain. He’s been in Rochester since May 4th and has decimated the International League, hitting .371/.423/.516 in 54 games. Scouts don’t expect him to do that much damage with the bat in the majors, as Granite really only generates power when he’s able to drop the bat head and golf something down the right-field line. Otherwise, he’s slashing grounders and hitting little flares over the heads of infielders and sprinting to first with his plus-plus speed. He does have some bat control and is hard to strike out, so there’s a chance he puts the ball in play enough to be some kind of everyday player. At the very least, he looks like a luxury fourth outfielder.
