FanGraphs released their new ranking of baseball’s top 100 prospects on Tuesday, and like Baseball Prospectus recently, named Detroit Tigers’ shortstop prospect Kevin McGonigle as the top prospect in baseball. The consensus is building.
McGonigle was ranked 54th on FanGraphs preseason rankings, so there’s been a real awakening there. Milwaukee Brewers shortstop prospect Jesus Made, Baltimore Orioles catching prospect Samuel Basallo, Texas Rangers shortstop prospect Sebastian Walcott, and Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop prospect Konnor Griffin round out their top five in order. Griffin got top prospect billing from Baseball America and MLB Pipeline.
