2023 MLB Pipeline Top 100 Prospects: Grapes Place Nine on List

Updated: Jan 30, 2023



The third of four Top 100 Prospects Lists we cover was released Thursday evening as MLB Pipeline matched Baseball America and Baseball Prospectus in naming St. Joseph Jokers infielder Gunnar Henderson as the top prospect in baseball.


The Asti Grape Stompers led the RDBL again in overall prospects ranked, this time squeezing in nine players with right-hander Dylan Lesko slotting in at 100th overall.


The Idaho Taters continued to show the depth of their Farm System, placing seven representatives in the Top 100 led by Marcelo Mayer (9) and Jackson Holliday (12).


Forty prospects ranked in the Top 100 are current RDBL Free Agents led by outfielders Jackson Chourio (8) and James Wood (17). Both are firmly in the mix for the top overall pick by the St. Joseph Jokers.
