Oakland A’s prospect watch: Updates from a lost summer

Here at Athletics Nation we love to follow the Oakland A’s farm system in addition to the big league club. However, there was no minor league season in 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic, which meant a yearlong hiatus from the prospect world — both in terms of the players’ development, and our own tracking of them since there was nothing to track.

However, a handful of prospects at least got to stay active at the team’s alternate camp in San Jose, as part of their 60-man player pool. They didn’t play against other organizations, but they could at least do intrasquad work and get in-person instruction from coaches and perhaps some of their more experienced teammates.
