MLB.com released their new and updated Top 100 prospects
list for the 2017 season and there are more than a few familiar Yankees faces
on it. There are eight to be exact, six that are still within the Yankees system
and two that were traded away at or before the July 31st trade
deadline. For the complete list head over to MLB.com to check it out while I
focus on the Yankees-related material here on the blog for you.
Here are the Yankees and their positions on the rankings:
Gleyber Torres - #1
Clint Frazier - #23
Chance Adams - #55
Estevan Florial - #81
Justus Sheffield - #83
Miguel Andujar - #95
And here are two prospects the Yankees traded away at the
trade deadline that made the list:
Blake Rutherford - #41
Dustin Fowler - #69
Anyone else surprised to not see Jorge Mateo on this list? I
was, I checked it three times to make sure that Mateo wasn’t on the list. I
wonder what that’s about. Anyway here is the MLB.com scouting report on Gleyber
Torres who took the top spot on the list at just 20-years old. Enjoy.
“Torres has exceptionally quick hands that allow him to
excel at the dish and in the field. He's very advanced at the plate,
recognizing pitches well, displaying patience and using the entire field. His
power projections seem to increase each year as he adds strength and
experience, and he now looks like he'll deliver 20-plus homers on an annual
basis in his prime.”
