Baseball America released their Arizona Fall League Top 10 Prospects List this afternoon and Jesse Winker found himself on the list from the prestigious league. The left fielder led the league in average and OPS while finishing second in both on-base percentage and slugging percentage. Winker came in at #9 on the list.
It seems that Winker impressed scouts with his ability to hit for a high average and surprised some with his power potential (they should have listened to me – I could have told them all about it). This is just another mark in the plus column this offseason for Winker when it comes to prospect rankings. As the national writers begin to put out more team and overall rankings I’d expect to see him continue to get recognition as one of the best prospects in the game.
