Baseball America Announces Their Top 100
Good morning, baseball is on the horizon! Baseball America has announced their top 100 prospects going into the 2023 season, let’s take a second and break it down. The Baltimore Orioles lead the way with 8 prospects landing in the top 100, followed by the Guardians with 7. The Braves come into the season with a big zero (0) on the list.
Breaking it down by position, there was a three-way tie. Shortstop, OF, and RHP all come on the board with 23 each. Only 3 first basemen prospects get on the list, while 12 catchers do. A fun breakdown Baseball America does, is by the source. 46 prospects come from high school, 24 from college and 29 are international.
Gunnar Henderson leads the way at #1, no real surprise there. Corbin Caroll from Arizona lands in at #2. Jasson Dominguez from the Yankees organization landed at #67, a number that had some prospect fans talking. Is he ranked properly? He was a hobby darling from the start with insane prices, but he did have a nice bounce back season. Pete Crow-Armstrong from the Cubs landed at #25. If you all forgot, he was the prospects the Mets traded for Javier Baez. Not ideal. He for sure is a guy to monitor close this season, bringing a true 5 category skill set to the table.
