PROSPECT: Masyn Winn, SS, St. Louis Cardinals
ANALYSIS: Winn could have been a legit pitcher or hitter coming out of high school in 2020, but the Cardinals selected him in the second round and set out to develop his hitting. Winn’s arm is one of the strongest in the game, and his fielding has taken significant leaps forward.
Where fellow 2020 Cardinals’ draftee Jordan Walker’s bat pushed him quickly up the system, Winn’s glove has done the same for him. He’s certainly not a zero at the plate, though, as his 11 home runs and 28 steals in Double-A last season showed. He followed that up with an impressive showing at the Arizona Fall League last year.
Now, he’s among the minor league leaders in stolen bases with seven and is showing off the same impressive glove work, and the Cardinals are getting him time at second base to give him more ability to play at the big league level.
VERDICT: Despite the middling overall stat line, Winn is a guy to definitely get if he’s available in a dynasty format. The Cardinals seem to be getting him exposure at other infield positions to bring him up during 2023, and he won’t be up to sit!
