Let's get introduced

BaseballAmerica.com posted their Top 20 lists in the Arizona League and the Pioneer League recently. Here are the Milwaukee Brewer prospects (and potential future Timber Rattlers) on the lists.

First, the AZL:

7. Jake Odorizzi, rhp, Brewers

The 6-foot-2, 175-pound Odorizzi also starred as a shortstop and as a wide receiver in high school, and his athleticism enables him to throw with an easy, repeatable delivery. He hit 93 mph early in the summer before going through a dead-arm period that wasn't considered anything more than the result of adjusting to pro ball. His slider is his No. 2 pitch, and he also throws a curveball and has made progress with his changeup.

15. Seth Lintz, rhp, Brewers

As with Odorizzi, the Brewers were cautious with Lintz, limiting him to 18 innings after signing him for $900,000 as a second-round pick. His command and 6.87 ERA weren't impressive, but he hinted at his quality raw stuff by striking out 26 batters.

Now, the Pioneer League:

2. Cutter Dykstra, of, Helena (Brewers)

A second-rounder in June, Dykstra was the highest draft pick to qualify for this list. He has excellent athleticism and is an advanced hitter for a teenager, which isn't surprising because he's the son of former all-star Lenny Dykstra.

Dykstra has plus bat speed and good power with loft in his swing. He has a balanced stance with a high hand position and a short, compact backswing. Most of his power is to left and center field, as he hammers pitches from the middle in but isn't as effective with pitches on the outer half.

13. Efrain Nieves, lhp, Helena (Brewers)

Nieves threw 86-88 mph when the Brewers drafted him as a 17-year-old out of Puerto Rico in the seventh round last year, and his velocity spiked to 90-91 this summer. He still has the same controlled delivery with tempo and rhythm, which allows him to throw plenty of strikes. His mound composure is well beyond his years.

16. Wily Peralta, rhp, Helena (Brewers)

Peralta signed in 2006 for $450,000 and missed 2007 after having Tommy John surgery, but he returned this year and showed perhaps the most electric arm in the league. His fastball ranged from 93-97 mph, and he mixed in a solid-average slider that could be a plus pitch down the road. He also has a changeup, though he rarely used it while pitching exclusively in relief.

17. Erik Komatsu, of, Helena (Brewers)

After being Cal State Fullerton's top offensive player this spring, the 5-foot-10 Komatsu made a big impression on Pioneer League managers. They liked his swing and approach and were impressed at how well he hung in against southpaws.

Komatsu has a short, quick stroke from the left side with a slight uppercut at the finish. He has some pop to the gaps and uses the whole park well, driving the ball to all fields. He's a decent athlete with slightly above-average speed and arm strength.
