Prospect list season typically gets started in December, but like everything else in 2020, the timing has changed a little bit this year. We already got a look at Prospects Live’s list a couple weeks ago and now Baseball Prospectus has a fresh top 10 as well ($).

He’s 6-foot-4, 21-year-old southpaw who throws 100+ mph. That’s trifecta makes up the Unicorn Theory of prospects, a term first coined by Jason Parks.
