MLB.com said, “The most interesting name is probably Sasaki. This right-handed pitcher playing in Japan has had an overwhelming season at Chiba Lotte, but he is not even qualified to sign with a major league club yet,” he said, noting that Sasaki was already on the radar of clubs.
Meanwhile, Lee Jeong-hoo (Kiwoom), who is preparing to advance to the major leagues after the end of this season, unfortunately did not get a vote in the vote for the best hitter prospect. Gunner Henderson (Baltimore) collected the most votes, followed by Corbin Carroll (Arizona), Ellie DeLacruz (Cincinnati), Jackson Churio (Milwaukee), Jordan Walker (St. Louis), Jackson Holliday (Baltimore), and Francisco Alvarez (Mets). rose to the top of the rankings.
