Prospect Spotlight
|
Bannon was one of the prospects Los Angeles sent to the O’s for Manny Machado. The diminutive infielder packs a surprising punch at the plate, with 50-grade raw power paired with above-average strikeout rates. He isn’t a true shortstop, but moves around the infield otherwise and is known as a high-energy gamer. This type of prospect bumps their head at the 3A/4A line sometimes—lacking the stick for an everyday role in the big leagues and unable to play a true center-diamond position—but Bannon’s sneaky pop and defensive versatility give the upside of a useful bench piece. |
