We made it folks. We are officially halfway through the Community Prospect List. We have named the Athletics’ top-10 prospects according to A’s fans and rounding out the top echelon of prospects in the organization is right-handed pitcher Steven Echavarria, the A’s 3rd-round pick from the 2023 MLB Draft.
The right-hander just finished his first professional season of baseball after spurring the University of Florida for a $3 million signing bonus from the A’s. That’s 1st-round money that the club committed to Echavarria so expectations are higher than usual for a 3rd-rounder. The club saw a lot of Echavarria as he stayed healthy all year en route to making 19 starts for Single-A Stockton.
