It’s been an eventful week for some of baseball’s top prospects. For others, not so much.
Xander Bogaerts has been the star everyone expected through the first week of the season, batting .360 through his first seven games, and the 21-year-old shortstop looks like a safe bet to run away with the American League Rookie of the Year Award.
Meanwhile, fellow shortstops Carlos Correa and Francisco Lindor are off to similar hot starts in the minor leagues, with Correa batting .471 with eight RBI at High-A Lancaster, and Lindor batting .353 back at Double-A Akron.
Unfortunately, a pair of top-10 prospects—as determined by Prospect Pipeline's End-of-Season Top 100 Prospects—are dealing with injuries, as Byron Buxton (wrist sprain) and Addison Russell (hamstring strain) are currently on the seven-day disabled list for their respective Double-A teams.
Here’s a look at how the rest of baseball’s top-ranked prospects fared during the first week of the minor league season.
