While I shouldn’t complain, considering that the Kansas City Royals had just one prospect ranked within MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 at the start of the season in Brady Singer, an argument can be made that more prospects should have appeared in the final rankings recently released. As the season progressed, a couple more Royals players appeared in the Top 100, especially with the selection of the top high school shortstop in the country in June’s draft.
Bobby Witt Jr. first appeared in the rankings as the number 8 overall prospect in the game, which is amazing considering he hadn’t even taken a swing in professional baseball at the time.
