2024 Prospect Voting Results

[Lathund]

An actual scout or other evaluator who actually sees the DSL (And to a lesser extent the stateside complex leagues) kids can have some justification for rating them highly (albeit with a ton of volatility), but I feel that as an amateur doing this from an entirely outside perspective, I really can't. It's obvious someone like Yophery is incredibly talented and could be a great player, but a true top ranking, for me, will have to wait until he gets stateside. Plenty of approaches to this that are perfectly reasonable, And at least one that isn't,.. 

Anyway, looking back at my list what I would've done differently is rate Ortiz higher. Not a superstar ceiling, but he plays great middle infield defense, makes a ton of contact (Both things I knew at the time) but I didn't know how hard that contact was until later.
