With the season just around the corner, who are the top 10 outfield prospects in MLB?

An Introduction

These lists will be coordinated by Benjamin Chase, one of our MLB contributors at Call to the Pen.

Ben reviewed each MLB organization’s top 10 prospects in November and December, then also reviewed the top 125 prospects in the game in January. Throughout spring training, he’s also been contributing scouting reports on players that are part of his top 25 prospects in the game.

Each slide will feature two players with a brief write up, then one final slide with a prospect who is not in the top 10, but very possibly could find his way into the top five with an impressive 2017 campaign due the player’s high upside.

These rankings are based on dozens of conversations with multiple people around the game about different MLB prospects, and certainly each list could be much longer, but for brevity, we’ll stick to 10!

Let’s get started with today’s position group, the men who cover the outfield. Due to the difficulty of separating out positions in the outfield and where guys will be going forward, I’m going to group all outfielders together.

Next: #9, #10
