Later in the list, and we’ll start to definitely see more new guys on the list. One of the guys who is probably not done jumping for me this year is Whitlock. He has taken to the Yankees pitching development system, and he is showing tremendous ability to control the ball and also manipulate movement, quickly moving up the list to the top arm in the Yankees system.

Corey Ray was initially drafted with plenty of thought that he would move quickly through the Brewers system with a high ceiling of power/speed. The Brewers pushed him up the system, in spite of Ray not playing well enough to earn the promotions. He has still struggled with contact this season, but he’s been able to show the power and speed that he flashed so frequently in college.

A pair of guys here would have been very interesting to follow if not for Tommy John surgery. Jay Groome was drafted in 2016 as one of the best young arms many had ever seen at the high school level, but he’s not pitched to that level when he’s been on the mound, and he is now recovering from surgery. Nate Pearson was a guy coming out of JuCo in 2017 that had great stuff, but many worried about his ability to control it. Those worries were being quickly eliminated, along with more velocity and raw stuff than had initially been thought before his elbow popped this spring.

Next: #71-90
