Comments:  Jhonny Level was the top prospect in the league but most impressive was the depth of prospects who performed well.  Level was promoted to A San Jose after the end of the ACL season and held his own there.  Of the pitchers, Luis De La Torre, Keyner Martinez and Ricardo Estrada performed well after end-of-season promotions while Argenis Cayama struggled in an extremely small sample.  Cayama is considered the better pitching prospect due to size and age.

  3. Those hyperlinks are pretty amazing. I would continue to give the information provided a smell test because AI isn’t (yet) always right, but it probably is, almost always. That said, it’s still a neat feature. Thank you.

  4. Is it time to call it as a prospect on Rayner Arias? I really had a lot of hope, but it seems like this is one of those injuries that sometimes fells a minor leaguer's ascent.

    1. Wrist injuries can be debilitating for batters and It's concerning that Arias is slow bouncing back but way too early to give up on him.
