The strength of the Farm system is unquestionably the pitching. It is not even close. The breakdown of the MLB Pipeline Top 30 prospects is:
12 – RHP
2 – LHP
4 – Catchers
5 – SS/2B
4 – 3B/1B
3 – OF
Baseball America pretty much resembles MLB Pipeline’s prospect list except BA includes reliever Josh Sborz, and OF Carlos Rincon, replacing Braydon Fisher, Marshall Kasowski, and Leonel Valera. BA cheated and included Caleb Ferguson.
Using MLB Pipeline as the standard, of the pitching prospects, two are #2 – #3 rotation types, Dustin May and Tony Gonsolin.
