Good players very rarely spend a lot of time on the Scranton RailRiders — by design, of course, as its primary purpose as the Yankees’ Triple-A affiliate is to develop players and get them to the Bronx as soon as possible. Even so, between veterans on minor league deals and low-level prospects blocked at the Major League level, there are still players who put together strong performances with the RailRiders but did not get the call to the Bronx.
Cognizant of this, and with a dearth of news thanks to this lockout, I decided to take a trip down memory lane and determine the best members of the Scranton RailRiders over the past five seasons (2016-2019, 2021) who did not find themselves in any game recap here on Pinstripe Alley, except for the daily prospect roundups.
