Nick Yorke named top second base prospect in baseball

It’s been a hell of a year for Nick Yorke, who in the summer of 2020 was the most confounding first round selection and now less than two years later is one of the very best prospects not just in the Boston Red Sox farm system, but in all of baseball, appearing on all top 100 lists this winter. In fact, according to Baseball America, he is actually the best prospect in the game at his position at second base. They named him both the top overall second baseman in the minor-league ranks and also the top hitter among second base prospects.
