A Top-100 prospect has made it to majors in a strange 2020 season even though he has very little time at AA, but here is Clarke Schmidt. A top 100 guy for my 100th player profile!

Nate Pearson, RHP, TOR
As Nate Pearson makes his big-league debut, what can we learn from his minor league performance?
Hunter Harvey, RHP, BAL
A right elbow strain kept Hunter Harvey from being on the Orioles Opening Day roster, but he should be back soon. What can we expect from him?
Austin Hays, OF, BAL
Austin Hays is on the Baltimore 60-man roster. What does he bring to the squad?
Canaan Smith, OF, NYY
Canaan Smith is not as well known as other prospects, and is thus farther down the rankings. This outfielder who played in A-ball in 2019 has his backers, though, so let’s see what we can find out about Mr. Smith.
Gabriel Moreno, C, TOR
Ready to fall in love with another catcher prospect, who might not stay a catcher and thus break your heart?
Vidal Brujan, 2B, TAM
Recently I wrote about consensus Top 100 prospect Xavier Edwards of the Rays. Today let’s meet consensus Top 50 prospect Vidal Brujan of the Rays. One of these two is likely to form the double-play combo with Wander Franco for the next decade.
Anthony Kay, LHP, Tor
Anthony Kay reached the majors in 2019. Will he stick in the rotation?
Devi Garcia, RHP, NYY
2019 proved to be the Case of the Dropping Strikeout Rate for Deivi Garcia.
Jeter Downs, 2B/SS, BOS
He keeps getting traded in big deals, but Boston will be glad they wound up with this Jeter.
Tristan Casas, 1B, BOS
He has the power, but how are his strikeouts and walks?

Curtis Mead, 2B, TAM
Sometimes you have to get ahead of the scouts in order to find minor league talent for your dynasty teams. By the time a player is written up all over the place, one of your competitors has snapped him up already. To beat your competitors, you may have to roll the dice on one good season by a teenager.Video courtesy of Baseball.com.auBorn: October 26, 2000B/T: Right/Right6’2″, 171lbSigned by the Philadelphia Phillies in 2018 out of Australia.The NumbersThose are his raw numbers, but let’s aggr […]
