One of the more interesting aspects of contributing to the Top 25 Under 25 rankings over the years has been watching certain players rise and fall as they progress or fail to make an impact at the highest level. If a young prospect is with the organization long enough, you can trace their arc over a good chunk of their careers. And while he’s hardly over the hill, Alex Formenton will actually be 23 before the start of the season; this is his 6th (!) year on the list. So while there is doubtless some improvement to be made at the margins, at this point in his career it wouldn’t be correct to call him a “prospect” any longer.
