#29 Alex Meyer

Coming in one spot higher than he did on Keith Law’s rankings, Alex Meyer should be the first prospect on this list to surface in the majors. He is going to go into Spring Training with an eye on the 5th rotation spot, and his biggest competition should be Tommy Milone. He is still working on bringing along that third pitch, and needs to tighten up his command to a certain extent.

Meyer has been able to blow batters away at every level of the minor leagues, and should continue to strike out hitters at a good clip once he reaches the majors. With top of the rotation potential, it is time for the 25-year-old to break through. While he likely is slated to start the year in the Triple-A rotation, expect him to be pitching for the Twins by June.
