Top 5 Centerfield Prospects - Season 9

Top 5 Centerfield Prospects

For the second year in a row, Guy Montague from the San Francisco Dolphins tops the Centerfield prospects list. Our highest-ranking newcomer is William Miyakazi, who was just signed out of Japan by Monterrey. Miyakazi is a unique player, with almost no power and a 0 contact rating, but he is blessed which a top batting eye and the ability to drive the ball versus both lefties and righties. He also projects to near 100 speed and 80+ base running, so he could be cause major problems if he gets on base enough. He will certainly be an interesting player to watch develop.
