Photo by Eugene EmeraldsOne of the great things about having the Eugene Emeralds in the Cubs system is that they’ve got MiLB.tv capability and play all their games out west. Thus, prospect-hounds are able to get early looks at scores of players who are still in the earliest stages of their respective professional careers.
Right-hander Kohl Franklin, the nephew of former big leaguer Ryan Franklin and son of baseball agent Jay Franklin, is one such prospect this summer. A pretty dominant campaign for the Ems has garnered him a lot of attention and boosted him to No. 15 on MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 Cubs prospects.
