Ht/Wt: *6’4″/245 |*B/T: *L/L |*Age (as of 12/1/15): *20y, 2m
Nothing gets me on board with a prospect more than seeing improvement from look to look, and the progress for Tellez from year’s beginning to end has been noticeable in almost every aspect of his game. Most notable is the physical change he’s undergone, slimming down while maintaining his strength and giving himself at least some mobility when he previously had very little. The power still shows plus in batting practice and translates well to games, and he shows enough bat control and a willingness to use the whole field that the hit tool should play to at least major league average. Defensively, he’s worked hard to improve himself from a future DH to an adequate first baseman. While limited to first base, he has the hit tool and plus power potential to be a first division regular there while hitting in the center of a big league lineup. *–Jeff Moore
