Left-handed hurler Joey Cantillo is our No. 8 prospect, earning 27% of the vote on Wednesday and squeaking past some tough competition by just two votes. He drops one place from his peak of No. 7 last year. This year will be Cantillo’s final top prospect appearance in our rankings as he’s been a staple of the top 20 since debuting at No. 14 in 2021.
Cantillo was acquired by Cleveland in a trade with the Padres. He was the final piece of the 2020 Mike Clevinger deal to make it to MLB (out of Gabriel Arias, Austin Hedges, Josh Naylor, Cal Quantrill and Owen Miller).
