It’s becoming a consensus: Matt Manning is the Detroit Tigers’ best prospect.
Manning is the organization’s only player to be ranked in each of the two major prospect rankings this winter. Most recently, he was ranked No. 74 on MLBPipeline.com’s Top 100 prospects list, released Saturday night.
Though he is still considered “a bit of a project on the mound,” Manning – who turned 19 on Saturday – is considered to have the upside of a top-of-the-rotation pitcher.
“Manning was around the strike zone a lot during his pro debut and his athleticism should help him repeat his delivery,” the MLBPipeline.
