MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo conducted a survey, completed by more than 40 MLB executives across most organizations. One question the survey asked was: Who is baseball’s No. 1 prospect?
Some MLB executives voted Twins' top prospect Walker Jenkins as baseball's No. 1 prospect
Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin received 88.4% of the votes, Detroit Tigers shortstop Kevin McGonigle received 4.7% and Seattle Mariners shortstop Colt Emerson, Milwaukee Brewers infielder Jesús Made and Minnesota Twins outfielder Walker Jenkins received 2.3%.
Griffin, 19, is clearly the best prospect in baseball. He posted a .941 OPS with 21 home runs and 65 steals while playing above-average defense at shortstop across three minor league levels in his first season of professional baseball.
