Filippo Di Turro and Kevin Ereu are the other two prospects ranked within the top 50. Both players are shortstops. Flippo Di Turro is a switch hitter and is viewed as an excellent defender. Ereu is just 16 years old, but has a lot of raw power at his young age with the ability to spray the ball to all parts of the field.
