Every year around this time I like to rank each team’s top overall prospects. My criteria are based on A: Past Performance and B: Future Potential (50% of each per prospect)
Disclaimer: I am not a professional scout, nor did I attend any minor league games this year. These lists are the product of my own research of online scouting reports and statistics, and are compiled purely for entertainment purposes.
Send your questions or feedback to me on twitter @Jaypers413
To qualify for these lists, a prospect must have no more than 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the Major Leagues.
