There may not be more hype for a pitching prospect going into the 2020 season than for San Diego Padres lefty MacKenzie Gore.
He finished the 2019 season ranked as the top left-handed pitching prospect in all of baseball and the fourth best prospect overall.
While MLB Pipeline still has not released their updated Top 100, they did release their list of the Top 10 LHP on Wednesday and Gore remains atop that list.
It’s really not all that surprising as the former third overall daft pick in 2017 was named the MiLB Pitcher of they Year after the 2019 season.
