ESPN's Kiley McDaniel on Wednesday became the latest industry expert to release his list of the top 100 prospects in Major League Baseball ahead of the 2023 season. McDaniel's rankings differed slightly from those offered by other outlets, though, as he left off a highly touted Boston Red Sox prospect: Ceddanne Rafaela. Three Red Sox prospects landed on McDaniel's list — Marcelo Mayer (No. 7), Triston Casas (No. 37) and Miguel Bleis (No. 95) — but Rafaela's absence is notable, if only because it goes against the grain and further raises questions about whether the Curaçao native's breakout 2022 season was legit.
Brayan Bello showcased a dynamic array of pitches during his rookie season with the Boston Red Sox in 2022. Bello mostly relied on his upper-90s fastball along with a devastating change-up to keep opposing hitters off-balanced. According to Baseball Savant, only five of the 997 pitches Bello threw were curves.
