The Tampa Bay Rays, widely credited with baseball’s best farm system, have again placed 5 prospects in Baseball America’s Top-100 for 2022, despite graduating four prospects to the majors from last year’s list. Only the Pirates and Diamondbacks (6 each) had more prospects on the list this year.
No. 8 - RHP Shane Baz
No. 44 - OF Josh Lowe
No. 56 - 2B/0F Vidal Brujan
No. 58 - RHP Taj Bradley
No. 97 - 3B Curtis Mead
In looking at these names, the first reaction is surely the shock that must ware off from not seeing Wander Franco atop the list.
