After another effective season in 2024, the No. 2 Cleveland Guardians prospect is Chase DeLauter, who pulled in a whopping (70%) of the vote totals, more than 300 votes ahead of second place. This may have been the biggest prospect voting blowout in website history.
DeLauter was the Guardians’ first pick in the 2022 MLB Draft (16th overall) after a spectacular college career at James Madison University and a strong performance in the Cape Cod League.
A nagging foot injury prevented DeLauter from debuting the year he was drafted, and offseason surgery on said foot delayed the start to his 2023 season, but once he started, he never stopped hitting.
