Including 2 pitchers that must be protected next off-season.
The Tampa Bay Rays do a great job when it comes to developing young players. Seemingly every year the team turns prospects who are not highly ranked (in the public sphere at least) into some of the largest household names in the organization.
This year was no different, as we saw minor leaguers such as Taj Bradley, Curtis Mead, and Jonathan Aranda go from players who only appeared on the fringes of Rays prospects lists to top 100 MLB prospect candidates.
Since our very own DRaysBay Community Prospect List is now up to 20 players, I decided to highlight three pitching prospects who currently do not rank inside of that range now, but who do have the breakout potential to rocket up the list by the end of 2022.
