Brewers shortstop Orlando Arcia named 8th-best prospect by Baseball America

The Brewers hadn't had a top-10 prospect since 2005 according to Baseball America.

On Monday, Baseball Prospectus released their mid-season top-50 prospects. Excitingly, 20-year-old Orlando Arcia, a shortstop in the Brewers organization, was ranked number 31 on that list.

Today, Baseball America released their own top-50 list. A list where Orlando Arcia, Brewers prospect, was ranked the eighth-best prospect in America. Ahead of guys like Yoan Moncada and Jon Gray and Mark Appel and Raul Mondesi. Ahead of all but seven other prospects.

Orlando Arcia is a top-10 prospect when, in most recent years, the Brewers have had trouble even getting players from their farm system in the top-100.
