MLB TOP 100 Prospects: 2017 & 2018 Draft StoxValues
I woke up this morning and immediately hopped on my phone to see the newest rankings for the 2019 prospect pool. As I sat there sifting through the list, I knew it was going to be perfect for today’s blog.
These rankings were released by MLB Pipeline and are free to view. For anyone that does not follow me on Instagram, read why the schedule I provided in the last blog post for the 2017 Draft predictor is not being met.
This post consists of the 2017 and 2018 Draft checklist (both hitters and pitchers) and StoxValues for the players that made the cut in the Top 100. I was not able to do the entire checklist due to MLB Pipeline not providing their team top 30s until February. As soon as those are released, I will release the entire checklist.
Tonight (Sunday, January 27) at 5 PM ET, SlabStoxNate and I will be going live on Instagram to discuss the new Top 100, card values, prospect questions, and anything else that gets brought up.
These StoxValues are completely updated using the new rankings, so be sure to lock in where you see fit to beat the others.

Something to note with these values and rankings. Just because someone has a negative change does not mean that they are a bad buy. A lot of these players can have a great start to the season and go up a ton. These values are for before the season starts. For a lot of the players with negative changes, I would invest in myself.
Be there at 5 ET to discuss these players and more tonight!
