Outfielder George Valera is our No. 6 prospect, earning 44% of the vote on Tuesday and beating out the competition by over 50 votes.

Like overall No. 3 prospect Brayan Rocchio, Velera was a member of Cleveland’s vaunted 2017 international signing class.

Valera impressed in limited action his first three years in the system, showcasing a strong eye at the plate and prodigious power potential. It was in his full-season debut in 2021 that he really took the next step, walking over 20% of the time while blasting 16 home runs with an elite 164 wRC+ at High-A, earning a midseason promotion to Double-A and an invite to the Futures Game.
