Who is the #22 prospect for 2018

[psuinpgh21]

So the big slugger wins out at #21, but 4 players got 4+ votes. Adding rule 5 pick Nick Burdi, who is very high on some of the other lists. Hunter Owen and Dovydas are next unless I'm convinced otherwise.

1. Mitch Keller, 21, SP, AA (88% of the vote)

2. Austin Meadows, 22, OF, AAA (also 88% of the vote)

3. Shane Baz, 18, SP, Rookie league (34.1%)

Relying on the Official Site's prospect list, Steven Jennings is past due. He's #12, ahead of Gage Hinsz, Calvin Mitchell, and Connor Uselton, #14-16.



I'm going to resist the impulse to pick someone who probably will play for the Bucs this season, like Bostick or Neverauskas, because they are high floor-low ceiling guys and I'm not seeing them on the prospect list. Are they both still eligible?

I am the Bostick vote.



Making it to the big show is still a big deal and I give him credit for that.

Quite a strong push from a player who I did not expect to take the lead...
