Five years ago today, an article appeared on the YES Network’s website. Baseball America had published its annual list of the top 100 prospects in baseball, and the YES Network broadcast that news to the fandom that might have missed it in BA. Only the Atlanta Braves had more players show up in the top 100 than the Yankees, though three other clubs managed to match New York’s plethora of prospects.
Five years later, with five Yankees making the cut in the 2023 version of BA’s annual rundown, it’s worth taking a look back to see how their 2018 counterparts fared in the last half-decade.
