This prospect rankings article updates my offseason prospect projections piece, making use of my research on aging and the minor leagues featured at ‘Scout the Stat Line,’ a website Ross Jensen and I co-publish.

This article continues an annual series providing peak projections for prospects. The projections are derived from peak major league equivalencies that use my (Jordan’s) aging curves and league translations to convert every player’s statistics to the same peak MLB (American League) baseline, making it easier to compare players at different

Hello friends and welcome back to the second half of our 2021 catcher prospect rankings. This time around, the list is headlined by a slugger who’s already made his MLB debut. Half the list is made up of players working their way through the mid-minors, only a season or so
