Baseball America’s Hot Sheet ranks the 20 hottest prospects from the previous week. This week’s installment considers how minor league players performed through July 12.

Please note that the Hot Sheet is not a re-ranking of Baseball America's Top 100 Prospects. Rather, the Hot Sheet simply recognizes how the hottest prospects in the minors performed over the past week.

We’ll also be answering prospect questions in our weekly Hot Sheet chat today at 2 p.m. ET. We also host our weekly Hot Sheet Show on YouTube at 3 p.m. ET on Tuesdays.

1. Jirvin Morillo, C, Reds

• Team: ACL Reds (Rookie)

• Age: 19

• Why He’s Here: .533/.667/1.400 (8-for-15), 5 R, 2 2B, 1 3B, 3 HR, 8 RBIs, 5 BB, 5 SO

The Scoop: The same week that the Reds' top catching prospect Alfredo Duno played in the Futures Game, their younger but also intriguing catching prospect had a monster week. Morillo has been one of the best hitters in the Arizona Complex League all season. He ranks in the top 10 in the league in batting average, on-base percentage and slugging percentage. He’s also among league leaders in extra-base hits and total bases. The 19-year-old switch-hitter’s 93 mph 90th percentile exit velocity is excellent for a hitter his age, too.

Editor’s Picks

Baseball America Helium Pick Of The Day

Each day, we’ll pick a prospect that has our attention.

Daniel Rodriguez, SS, Rangers: Entering this season, Rodriguez was not ranked among the Rangers’ Top 30 prospects. Hitting .228 and slugging .289 in the Dominican Summer League doesn’t usually place a player in the Prospect Handbook. This year, after moving to the Arizona Complex League, he’s bashed his way into the middle of the pack. He’s shown skills on both sides of the ball and has drawn raves from evaluators tasked with patrolling the desert backfields. Scouts give him a chance for average hittability and speed and above-average tools in the field as well, which should help him stick at shortstop. What a difference a year makes.
