I don't know much about this Dominican prospect but if the
Future Sox article that brought him to my attention is accurate,
Micker Zapata is someone to keep in mind for next year's minor league drafts.
In Zapata’s case, the big tool in his kit is serious raw power from above average bat speed. At a January scouting combine in the DR, Jason Parks (of Baseball Prospectus) relayed a story about scouts being rendered silent by the bombs being continuously sent over the wall by Zapata. He may have the best power potential in the entire July 2nd class, despite his young age. Defensively, Scout.com’s Kiley McDaniel notes he has a plus arm, and above average foot speed.
