Yea that jumped out to me too.

I know this gets said a lot, but it's still pretty remarkable to have 5 top 36 prospects on this list, even after graduating Adley, Gunnar, and Grayson. It's also very satisfying to see Cowser now consistently ranked above Lawler on most lists. It's interesting that Ortiz didn't make their cut.

With 3 guys inside the top 50.

Love the write ups. Wish they did them on the back 50 so we had them for Basallo and Norby too, or some reasoning for why Ortiz wasn’t on the list.  

Interesting they say the straight line speed is “better than anticipated” for Westburg. That’s underselling it - he’s in the 93rd percentile (!!) on Statcast, in the small MLB sample. Certainly bodes well for his defensive chances, and maybe means he could be better than anticipated in LF if he ends up in more of a UTIL role moved around to get his bat in the lineup.
