Top 5 3B Prospects - Season 9

Top 5 3B Prospects

Not much movement on this seasons 3B list. Sioux Falls’ Larry Price continues to hold down the top spot after hitting .339 with 45 HR in AA last season while winning his 2nd consecutive silver slugger award. He already has the ability to help out at the major league level, but is currently stuck behind all-star Jesus Astacio on the Sioux Falls depth chart.

Our one newcomer is JR Rhodes, who was drafted late in the first round out of Huntington Beach HS by Richmond. Offensively Rhodes projects to be a solid player with base stealing ability, but his glove is weak and he may be better suited defensively as a right fielder in the long term.
