Time flies when you’re having fun. Time also flies, apparently, when you’re stuck inside amid a pandemic for over a year waiting to be able to go places more than five miles outside your house again. Anyway, our top prospect voting is almost over, seemingly just after it started. We have just one more vote after this one, and the number 19 winner made some history. At least to my knowledge, for the first time we have a write-in winner. That winner is Garrett Whitlock, who comes in at number 19 after receiving 38 percent of the vote.
Whitlock was not a very high-profile player coming out of the University of Alabama-Birmingham, having served as something of a swingman in college to go with a short, four-outing stint in the Cape Cod League in the summer of 2016.
