Let's start a project.
Each day until #OpeningDay, I'll cut up video on a prospect who is intriguing but doesn't have a ton of publicly available looks.
Kicking things off on this thread of quarantined awesomeness — Bowden Francis, RHP, #Brewers.

Francis' stuff ticked "up" quite a bit in 2019, increasing his K-rate by five points YOY en route to a 92nd percentile SwStr% in AA.
We went a little more in-depth with the profile in the @BaseballHQ WatchList last August ($): https://bit.ly/3dI55rO

Day 2 — Scott Moss, LHP, #Indians.
Moss sits 91-93 mph w/ straight 4S; CH/CB proj as 50/55. Reverse platoon splits in '19 (.579 OPSa vR; .730 vL).
Control comes/goes but misses bats (15% SwStr) and though he's FB > GB, he limits big damage (0.7 HR/9).

Day 3 — Joey Cantillo, LHP, #Padres.
He's 89-91 mph w/ superb feel & arm speed for his changeup. CB big bender; projects as avg.
More control than command at present, but misses bats (11.8 K/9 in MWL) and just turned 20.
