Virtually every prospect surprises in one way or another. Either too good or too bad. Every superstar has exceeded any reasonable expectation, including no doubters like Griffey Jr and A-Rod.
That said, Aaron Judge is a big one for me. His minor league stats were mediocre for a player his age and when I saw him in the AFL, he looked like a big galoot with warning track power. Between 2014 and 2017 he completely revamped his swing, to the point that it is the best in baseball (ie the most similar to Bonds).
