2023 Baseball America Top 100: Henderson Tops List for Jokers

For the first time since Byron Buxton topped prospect lists in 2014, the St. Joseph Jokers hold the rights to Baseball America's number one prospect as infielder Gunnar Henderson tops the list released Wednesday. Henderson is one of three Jokers to make the list in a Farm System that is set to see a major infusion of talent with nine of the top 44 picks in the 2023 Reserve Draft.

The Asti Grape Stompers topped all RDBL Franchises with eight representatives, including seven of the Top 41 and three of the Top 13. Their Farm System is headlined by slugger Jordan Walker, prized catching prospect Francisco Alvarez and shortstop Jordan Lawlar.

The Idaho Taters placed seven prospects in the Top 100 while the Cloverdale Clovers and Maltese Falcons followed with six.

The Reserve Draft looks to have plenty of talent available with 44 players ranked that are not currently on RDBL Rosters. That group is led by outfielder Jackson Chourio who is expected to be in the mix for the top overall pick by the Jokers on March 27th.

The Burlingame Blue Ducks were the lone RDBL organization without a player in the Top 100.
