Zion Rose is one of the most physically gifted and tooled up players in the 2023 class, if he starts lifting the ball consistently, LOOK OUT.

12. Zion Rose, C, Brothers Rice HS (IL) – Any evaluator will tell you they have favorite prospects even if they are the best prospect, Rose is easily my favorite prep prospect this year, and he is quickly moving towards being one of the best. He is an excellent athlete with above-average speed and quick actions behind the dish and soft hands receiving. Despite being a one-knee blocker, he does so quick enough that he stays square on the ball and doesn’t have the passed ball risk that often comes with that setup. At the plate he has a quick bat with easy pop and will spoil a pitcher’s best pitches with 2 strikes to get a pitch he can do damage with, although his hands do get low at times leading to pop ups. On the bases he has the speed to stretch a double into a triple and makes great reads on a ball in the dirt to move up a bag. Rose has the potential to be truly special.

Brother Rice, Chicago, IL

Zion Rose has a chance to be one of the better players in the class; a unicorn of sorts in terms of his toolset behind the plate. He possesses an above average arm behind the plate and strong wrists and hands to manipulate the barrel offensively. He's also an above average runner. There's plenty of bat speed here and, so long as Rose doesn't outgrow his athleticism and ability to stay behind the plate, the clay is pretty unique here.
