HOT SHEET 🔥
Kendry Chourio Tops The Hot Sheet
Baseball America’s Hot Sheet ranks the hottest prospects from the previous week while also identifying a weekly helium player to keep tabs on.
The latest Hot Sheet is topped by Royals righthander Kendry Chourio, who at 18 is the youngest pitcher in the Top 100. On Sunday, Chourio impressed again by tossing the first five innings of a combined no-hitter. The outing also marked the second time in five High-A turns that he’s struck out 10.
