Before there was Jarred Kelenic, Julio Rodriguez, or J.P. Crawford, there was Braden Bishop. The 94th overall pick of the 2015 draft is a rare Jack Z remnant, whose prospect shine was divisive from the start but has finally managed to break through the curtains. The 25-year-old will begin 2019 in AAA-Tacoma, tauntingly close to the majors. He’ll be part of an outfield consisting of Ian Miller, Eric Filia, and perhaps Orlando Calixte or Dustin Ackley - an intriguing but less hyped group than those in AA or A-ball at a minimum.
40 in 40: Braden Bishop
