Top middle infield prospect Brayan “The Professor” Rocchio is our No. 3 prospect, earning 43% of the vote yesterday and beating out Daniel Espino, who had 28%, by over 50 votes.
Unlike Friday’s winner Kyle Manzardo, Rocchio has been in Cleveland’s system for quite a while. He was originally signed out of Venezuela as part of Cleveland’s vaunted 2017 international draft class.
Rocchio quickly left a good first impression, sporting a 137 wRC+ in the Dominican League and earning a rare mid-season promotion to the United States, where he continued performing with a career-best 140 wRC+ in Arizona.
