Andy Young makes MLB Pipeline’s list of Top 10 Second Baseman prospects

MLB Pipeline is continuing their release of Top 10 prospect per position, releasing their list of second basemen yesterday. Coming in at the #10 spot is Diamondbacks infielder Andy Young. Young was acquired along with Luke Weaver and Carson Kelly in the Paul Goldschmidt deal and had a solid year between AA Jackson and AAA Reno in 2019. The team rewarded him by placing him on the 40-man roster to protect him from the Rule 5 Draft and a legitimate shot to win a roster spot this upcoming Spring. With Ketel Marte slated to play 2020 in center field, that opens up an opportunity for a platoon or for Young to win the everyday role at the keystone.
