I find most guys' stances from videos straight from the MiLB website. They have tons of minor league videos and highlights there.

Is it me, or does Prospect stance 16 belong to Mets Amed Rosario. Reason is because of the bat & hands movement, including the large leg kick stride.

Here is this year's list: Batting Stances 1. Willy Adames *Balder OF Cardinals 2. Ozzie Albies 3. Lewis Brinson 4. J.P. Crawford 5. Rafael Devers *Cozens OF/1B Phillies 6. Clint Frazier 7. Ian Happ 8. Alex Jackson *Hoskins 1B/OF Phillies 9. Kyle Lewis 10. Jorge Mateo 11. Austin Meadows 12. Mickey Moniak *Mejia C Indians 13. Brett Phillips 14. Victor Robles 15. Brendan Rodgers 16. Amed Rosario 17. Dominic Smith 18. Gleyber Torres 19. Jesse Winker 20. Bradley Zimmer Pitching Motions 1. Mark Appel 2. Anderson Epinoza 3. Jay Groome 4. Josh Hader 5. Tyler Jay 6. Sean Newcomb Italics means I am uncertain about that stance Bold means a player's stance has been assigned by SCEA Please feel free to let me know if you think a stance or motion belongs to someone else. I will continue to update this list as prospects get called up.

When the show typically picks players for this Prospect Stance list they usually determine it by which players have the highest probability to be called up prior to the season. Most of the players you have listed have no chance of being called up this year. Not trying to be a dick just giving you another view point. I had most all of them right last year to. I also used the same process they did. Players that have no chance of being called up from the 100 list there is no reason for them to insert their stance as stances can change.
I went and added 3 players I think if you view YouTube and see their stances from last season you will notice they closely resemble the swings I have them next to. Jackson, Lewis, Moniak seriously have no chance of seeing time this year at the major league level. Hell Moniak was a high schooler last year, he is far from being the next Harper.

The only addition i 100% agree with is the Mejia one as i do believe he is prospect 12. Bader cant be one because ALbies is definitely number 2 so it wouldnt fit alphabetically. Same reason why Cozens isnt going to be listed after Crawford.Hoskins is possible as well

Also Brinson, Phillips and Newcomb should all be bold as the game created them and gave them those stances

I would definitely have to agree that the guys you listed should've had those prospect stances. Unfortunately, none of them can be correct. I realize that Moniak, Lewis and Jackson are very questionable; however I can explain my reasoning behind them. All three were high draft picks, which The Show seems to favour when assigning prospect stances. For Jackson, that exact stance has been in the prospects stances ever since The Show 15, when he was a very good prospect. For Lewis, stance 9 is very very close to Lewis' real batting stance, and it fits alphabetically. For Moniak, him and Mejia were the only players that would've fit alphabetically, but Stance 9 doesn't really look at all like Mejia's real stance.
