Still not very good at it, but I am happy with this guy that I drafted and stuck with. http://brokenbat.org/player/224828 Alonzo Ortega He was a 7th round pick with 12 potential. Have you drafted any diamonds in the rough?

As far as I see he already had hitting of 13 at the time of the draft, plus the outlook that he can be a very good hitter. I guess I wouldn't have drafted him because I mostly have no space in my minors after the 3rd or 4th round and because there might be a higher potential on my list than 12. I would have been afraid that his potential would hinder him to reach much higher hitting. In the end we see he reached the max of 20! Really nice! That makes me hope my original POT 8 prospect will really make it to the majors one day: https://brokenbat.org/player/267942 He just got his second potential upgrade this offseason.
