For the second straight voting period, we have a blowout in which it was clear from the start who would come away with the victory. The only difference between this one and the last round in which Josh Ockimey came away victorious is that it wasn’t as predictable who would win heading in. Still, Cole Brannen jumped out to an early lead in this vote and never relented. He is our number eleven prospect in the system.
Brannen is another member of the 2017 draft class — our third member of that class to be included in our rankings thus far — that some hope can elevate this farm system in coming years.
