The minor league season is complete, which means we’re now entering prospect ranking season. The crew at Baseball America started releasing their annual top 20 prospects list for each individual minor league this week, including the rookie Appalachian League today (no subs. req’d). That is home to the Pulaski Yankees, who just completed their first season in the Yankees organization.
Astros OF Kyle Tucker, the fifth overall pick in this year’s draft, claimed the top spot in the Appy League top 20. Not much of a surprise there. Braves 3B Austin Riley and Twins SS Jermaine Palacios round out the top three.
