Position-by-Position Rankings: Lefthanders (VIDEO)


Nine lefthanders made the Top 100 Prospects list, but that pales in comparison to a lengthy list of righthanders. The current crop of southpaws also lacks the impact of the righthanders list, with a lot more potential middle-of-the-rotation starters rather than potential aces. The exception might be Sean Manaea (see sidebar).
