A lot of players have been featured in MLB prospect lists, but who are some guys off all the “big” lists that could be very impressive in 2017?

In the last month, there have been a number of prospect lists that have come out, featuring a ton of different prospects, and there are many discussions of who on those lists are underrated or overrated.

But what about the guys who didn’t make any of those lists? Every year, there are dozens of guys who come from off all lists to be a significant prospect or to have a big impact in the major leagues.

Let’s take a look at a half dozen of those guys that could be huge in the 2017 season and are off the radar almost completely.

General Guidelines

From my personal guidelines, I looked at the major prospect lists that came out and determined six guys who didn’t appear on any of those lists but could be guys who could have a big 2017.

Not all of these guys will be guys who will hit the major leagues, though one or two could, and because they’re “off the radar” types, it’s certainly feasible that these guys will be guys that miss completely, but they definitely should be watched this season.
