How is Cade Doughty doing? I was hoping to see him in the bigs in the next couple years.

BA just came out with their list of prospects who just missed each team’s top 30 list and Doughty is the only member from Toronto.

Here’s what they had to say:

Scouting Report: A polished college player, Doughty was lauded for his balance of hitting, power and approach as an amateur, but that bottomed out in 2023. While Doughty’s surface-level stats are solid, his underlying data showcases how poor his plate skills were in 2023. He swung and missed at a high rate in and out of the zone and showed a fringy approach. Doughty gets the most out of his power due to good angles at contact, but his raw power is well below-average. Doughty spent 2023 alternating between second base and third base. A fringe-average runner, he has limited range and an average arm.

The Future: Doughty will look to recapture his bat-to-ball skills but is trending toward an up-and down replacement role.

Here’s how they reported his skill grades:

Scouting Grades Hit: 40 | Power: 30 | Run: 45 | Field: 40 | Arm: 50
