1. Zac Veen (599 points, 20 ballots)
It’s Zac Veen and then everyone else. Veen garnered 19 of the 20 first-place votes in getting named the number one Purple Row Prospect. Colorado’s 2020 first rounder was the ninth overall pick and was widely thought of as the top high school player in the draft. Scouts were particularly excited about Veen’s projectable frame and advanced hitting approach. The lefty-hitting, righty-throwing 6’4” Floridian outfielder signed for a slightly above slot value $5 million and immediately got top 100 hype. Veen has stayed on those top 100 lists after a strong professional debut campaign in 2021 and is the consensus top prospect in the system according to several evaluators.
