A surprise addition to the organization in 2015, young shortstop Luke Wakamatsu comes in at Number 14 on our 2016 Cleveland Indians Top Prospect countdown.
Who is Luke Wakamatsu?
Wakamatsu was draft by the Tribe in the 20th round of the 2015 MLB draft out of Keller High School in Texas (interesting to note, they are the “Indians” as well). Since he was drafted outside of the first ten rounds his “max” signing bonus was $100,000. Despite being a top 100 draft prospect, he was deemed unsignable by most resulting in his drop in the draft.
