I’m tempted, sometimes, to write titles like, “You’ll Never Believe Who Was Chosen As Top Prospects!” as click bait. Well, I think we can believe it, so it doesn’t really fit.

What I do have for you, of course, is two lists of top prospects in the 2016 season- one from Baseball America, and one from Perfect Game. Then I have the totals by team, and any player that was listed twice.

First, Baseball America’s 10:

  1. Corey Childress, rhp, Harrisonburg (Jr., Troy)
  2. Keegan James, rhp, Strasburg (So., Mississippi State)
