Earlier this week, we learned that six Yankees prospects made Baseball America’s top 100 prospect list. Now ESPN has released a list compiled by Keith Law with five Yankees making the list. It’s always interesting to see how different outlets view the same players, but in this instance there are a few noticeable differences.
Like on the BA list, Law dropped Gleyber Torres down to 5th overall, likely due to the fact that he missed half the season following an elbow injury that required Tommy John surgery. Law, meanwhile, ranked Justus Sheffield far more aggressively than the competition.
