While the St. Louis Cardinals‘ farm system isn’t as loaded with talent as some teams, outfield phenom Dylan Carlson and pitcher Angel Rondon were bright spots in the system, taking home the Player of the Year and Pitcher of the Year awards.
Carlson was brilliant in 2019 after an unspectacular start to his professional career. Chosen as a compensation pick in the first round of the 2016 amateur draft, Carlson hit only .251, .240 and .246 in his first three years between Rookie League and High-A. He hit 21 home runs between the three levels.
