He’s far from the only notable name perched high atop the list. Rays shortstop Carson Williams continues to impress this season, and rising Guardians infielder Angel Genao is also nestled firmly within the top 10. We also have fresh updates on players in the following systems, among others:
Astros
Athletics
Rockies
Guardians
D-backs
Pirates
Reds
