Cleveland Indians Top 30 Prospects, 21-25
With the Top 30 prospects lists being released for each team, we now have a better grasp for what to expect down the road for the Cleveland Indians. While the players on this list won’t be the only players on the roster in the future, and some might not even make it to the majors, they at least give an idea for where the organization stands beyond just this season.
With the list being so long, we’ve broken it up into groups of five, now reaching our second group. The first group was a bit more diverse in terms of positions, age and talent whereas this group is much more narrowed in terms of what we’re looking at for the future of Cleveland baseball.
For this group of five, we get more of a look at the distant future than the immediate, but these players will be important all the same. Of the five we’ll look at here, two are left-handed pitchers while the other three are all outfielders.
The good news for the Cleveland Indians and these prospects alike is that those are all positions of need. The Tribe’s outfield has been a chaotic situation for a few years and while free agent additions can bridge the gap, it’ll be up to future prospects to provide the foundation. On a similar note, the Indians have used an all right-handed rotation for a few years now and left-handed pitchers are always of value.
Being a younger group, we’re still probably a few years away from most of these guys making an impact at the major league level, but they are names to keep an eye on through the minor leagues. Given their skill set and positions, they could very well be cornerstones of the future of the Cleveland baseball organization down the road.
