Ke’Bryan Hayes
Ke’Bryan Hayes is one of the lone lights in the dark future of the Pittsburgh Pirate. Hayes showed that he has power and can hit for a high average in his 24-game stint in 2020. In his first full season, the sky seems to be the limit for Hayes. He is the ninth prospect heading into this season according to mlb.com
The 24-year-old third baseman was a first round pick out of high school in 2015. He is a rising star and is going to be the best player on the Pittsburgh Pirates this season, giving him a good chance to make the NL All-Star team.
Jarred Kelenic
According to MLB.com, Jared Kelenic is the fourth overall prospect heading into the 2021 season. Kelenic did not make the Seattle Mariners’ Opening Day roster, but that is mainly because of service time complications. He will eventually get called up to the majors and he will turn heads when he does. Kelenic, has the potential to be a five-tool player and a stud center fielder for years to come.
Kelenic, 21, was a first round pick by the New York Mets in 2018 but was traded to Seattle when the Mets landed Edwin Diaz and Robinson Cano prior to the 2019 season. New York fans were livid when they parted ways with Kelenic because he is a five-tool player that can perform at an All-Star level right away. The Mariners are looking for Kelenic to be a big part of their future.
