9. Trevor Oaks, Starting Pitcher, Triple-A

ETA: 2017

Best Tool: Command

The Opening Day starter for the Oklahoma City Dodgers, Oaks is believed by many to be the next pitcher to get his shot in the big leagues this year. He has been solid so far this season, posting a 1.89 ERA over 19 innings and striking out 21 while walking only five.

Oaks has great command of his fastball, rarely missing with it over the heart of the plate. His lack of a true strikeout pitch is his only downfall, but that can be worked on and shouldn’t hold him back from being an excellent major league starter.

Don’t be surprised if he is starting for the big league club within the next month or so.
