Our 2017 Community Prospect List officially has its first member, as infielder Franklin Barreto earned the top spot in a landslide. The virtual consensus is a departure from last year’s tight vote for No. 1, when Barreto fell short against pitcher Sean Manaea in a razor-thin decision. Here’s the current (somewhat lonely) list, including his winning margin (the difference between his % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):
- Franklin Barreto, SS (+65%)
In addition to leading off our CPL, Barreto will also rank high on national Top 100 lists when they’re released in the coming weeks.
