Canadians on MLB Pipeline prospect lists

OTTAWA- With the non-waiver trade deadline and the Major League Baseball Draft in the rearview mirror, baseball publications are producing their mid-season prospect rankings.

MLBPipeline.com recently released their Top 100 overall list and Top 30 prospects list for each of the 30 MLB organizations, which includes a wave of young Canadian talent.

Making his MLB debut in May at the tender age of 20, Calgary’s Mike Soroka took over the #1 spot on the Atlanta Braves’ Top 30 list and also assumes the #15 slot on the Top 100 list. The young right-hander is currently working his way back to the mound from a sore throwing shoulder.

Also debuting earlier this season and just recently recalled by the St. Louis Cardinals, Maple Ridge, BC native Tyler O’Neill is ranked #48 on the Top 100 lost and #2 on the Cards’ organizational list.

In June, Noah Naylor became the highest Canadian selected in the 2018 MLB Draft and has since had a nice start to his pro career in the Arizona League slashing .327/.404/.429 with a hone run through 14 games. The Mississauga native is ranked #4 in the Cleveland Indians’ organization.
