Apparently it’s Top 100 (or 101) Prospect List day around the internet. Both Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus released their lists earlier today. On Saturday, MLB Pipeline will be releasing their Top 100 list, too, in case you wanted to follow along. The Cincinnati Reds were represented well on both of the lists released today.
Let’s start with the Baseball America list. They first released a Top 100 prospect list after the 1989 season, and have long been the gold standard for prospect lists. They are considered the premiere source for Minor League Baseball coverage, having been founded in 1981.
