Baseball America has released its top prospects list for all of minor league baseball and several Kentucky players were included in the rankings. Eastern Kentucky University alum Christian Friedrich leads Kentucky prospects on the list at No. 33. I’ve included each BluGrass Baseball player and his ranking below:
- 22 — Christian Friedrich — EKU — Colorado Rockies
- 35 — Matt Moore — 2009 Bowling Green Hot Rods — Tampa Bay Rays
- 43 — Todd Frazier — 2009 Louisville Bats — Cincinnati Reds
- 45 — Yonder Alonso — 2009 Louisville Bats — Cincinnati Reds
- 67 — Tim Beckham — 2009 Bowling Green Hot Rods — Tampa Bay Rays
- 91 — Jordan Lyles — 2009 Lexington Legends — Houston Astros
* — Cincinnati Reds offseason signee Aroldis Champman ranked at No. 22 on the list and will likely appear for AAA Louisville at some point in 2010. Houston Astros shortstop prospect Jiovanni Mier ranked No. 73 on the list and might appear in Lexington this season. Tampa Bay Rays right-handed pitching prospect Alex Colome ranked No. 68 and will likely head to Bowling Green in 2010.
