From time to time, one outlet will rank a prospect quite differently than another outlet. While it’s commonplace to find Casey Mize, Matt Manning, Franklin Perez, and Daz Cameron at the top of organizational prospect rankings for the Detroit Tigers, even highly-touted prospects such as Isaac Paredes (our No. 3 prospect) can be ranked dramatically differently in other rankings (Paredes is only the 13th-best prospect in the Tigers’ system, according to MLB Pipeline).
This may just be a sign that some lists are more informed than others, of course, but once in a while, the reverse occurs and a major outlet ranks a prospect much higher than others.
