Top 150 Pitching Prospects

(Who've been video reviewed, for dynasty purposes)

There’s nothing more maddening than ranking pitching prospects, but some are dumb enough to try. Putting these things together feels like an optimistic angel on one shoulder, a pessimistic devil on the other, and you are stuck in the middle. So these stream of consciousness turmoils are shared here. Under the players’ will be a line starting with “A:” signifying what the angel was telling me, and a “D:” signifying what the little devil was telling me. Sometimes they contain wise things, sometimes not so much.

As it was this offseason, only players’ video-reviewed during full-season action are included. There are undoubtedly plenty of omitted players worthy of a spot here, I just haven’t seen them yet. Andrew Painter had one horrible quality broadcast, useless to us, so he’s not here. Tink Hence and Inohan Paniagua of the Cardinals haven’t been broadcast. Jaden Hill is yet to make his pro debut. I’ve never seen Matthew Allen pitch, nor the Pirate’s exciting young two-way prospect Bubba Chandler. The MLB draft is right around the corner as well, which will surely have worthy arms. Please don’t be shy about hitting me up with players you find deserving. Some of the highly ranked prospects below are there because of things learned from such discord. If you want to better understand how I try and value players, here’s a link to the big offseason review with a set of rules at the beginning of the first installment. (link)
