Baseball America Ranks Yoan Moncada #1 Prospect

The Scoop: Moncada entered the season ranked as the No. 3 prospect in baseball, but with Corey Seager and Byron Buxton having enough major league playing time to have lost their prospect eligibility, Moncada is now No. 1. There’s a good chance he won’t relinquish that spot. He has an elite combination of athleticism, tools and baseball skills. A plus-plus runner, Moncada is second in the minors with 13 stolen bases in 13 games, batting .356/.508/.511 with more walks (14) than strikeouts (11). As impressive as he has been already, he has the raw power to add home runs, so he’s just scratching the surface. (BB)
