St. Louis Cardinals: Keep Dylan Carlson in the Minors until 2020

The St. Louis Cardinals occasionally will push a prospect very hard in their path to the Majors. They don’t do it with everyone because not everyone can handle the rigors of adjusting from college/high school baseball to what the game is like as you get closer and closer to the MLB.

The prospects that have the ability to get through the rigors of quick promotions usually end up being stars in the league for years. Recently, the only two young players the team has risked quick promotions on have been 2016 and 2018 first-round picks, Dylan Carlson and Nolan Gorman.
