10. Humberto Arteaga, Kansas City Royals Smooth is the one word I’d use to describe the 18 year old Arteaga as he left a solid overall impression when seeing him in the Appalachian League. At shortstop, he presents as a prospect who can make all of the plays and throws, but does it with little flash or moxy. I have an affinity for shortstops who appear to be gliding to batted balls and Arteaga is one of those guys. At the plate, he displayed quick hands by turning on an inside fastball off of former first rounder Kevin Comer resulting in a laser to left field.
