Our 2021 Community Prospect List officially has its first member, as pitcher A.J. Puk took the top spot in a landslide, with 53 out of 93 votes. Here’s the current (somewhat lonely) list, including his winning margin (the difference between his % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):
- A.J. Puk, LHP (+40%)
This isn’t the first time Puk has been No. 1 on our CPL. He led the list in 2018 as well, before Jesús Luzardo took over for two straight years. Now Luzardo has graduated to the majors, but Puk is still hanging around on the prospect radar.
