Live Photos from MiLB.com’s Top 100 Prospects Countdown

MiLB.com counted down its Top 100 prospects for 2018 and we celebrated by live-tweeting photos of those players we saw on our tour of southeastern and New England minor league ballparks. We were hosted in a variety of stadia in several leagues and it turns out we had the opportunity to see seven of the Top 100, to say nothing of graduates from last year’s list like Rafael Devers. Below is our countdown, plus a note on international players on the list. MiLB’s prospect rankings can be found here (link).

Michael Chavis named the No. 79 best prospect in baseball. We saw him in his debut for the @PortlandSeaDogs, where he was a game-changer on both sides of the ball. pic.twitter.com/lK837kNGtp

Fernando Romero was named the No. 68 prospect in all of baseball. We saw him pitch for @ChattLookouts at Smokies Stadium. Looked like an absolute stud on the bump. https://t.co/7px5ii748k #Top100 pic.twitter.com/FPNcyHO3Hz
