Winning with 32% of the vote — a narrow 4% lead over second-place Brayan Rocchio — Bo Naylor is our No. 5 Cleveland prospect for 2021.
The young brother of current Cleveland outfielder Josh Naylor, 20-year-old Bo excelled in rookie ball during his debut professional season, walking 21 times in 117 at-bats and slashing .274/.381/.402. He played well in Single-A as well, racking up 11 home runs, 43 walks, and 18 doubles in 107 games for the Lake County Captains. That’s a 110 wRC+ for a 19-year-old in full-season affiliated ball — a catcher, no less.
Naylor is expected to stick at catcher, but he does not rate as an outstanding one.
