Baseball America Prospect Report (Nov. 1)

THE LINEUP

Also at BaseballAmerica.com.

J-Bob Thomas is our College Assistant Coach of the Year

The Nationals Top 10 Prospects list is led by an elite outfield prospect.

Newsmakers from Tuesday’s action:

Adbert Azolay, RHP, Cubs. The Cubs farm system is as thin as it’s been in years, which is understandable when you consider the players the team has graduated in recent years (Kris Bryant, Addison Russell and many more) and also the players it has traded (Eloy Jimenez and Gleyber Torres). Azolay is among the best that is left. He was effective in the early going in his Arizona Fall League season, but his AFL season derailed yesterday. Azolay allowed six runs on six hits in only two-thirds of an inning yesterday, raising his ERA to 5.91.

Ronald Acuna, OF, Braves. Highlighting Braves prospects in the BAPR may be getting a little repetitive but they keep dominating the AFL. Acuna hit his fourth home run of the AFL season yesterday in a 3-for-5 day where he also doubled. Acuna leads the AFL with a .377 batting average and a .462 on-base percentage. He’s also second in slugging percentage (.698). He also leads the league in hits, extra-base hits, runs and total bases.

Austin Riley, 3B, Braves. Riley is trying to keep up with Acuna. He also hit his fourth AFL home run yesterday, keeping him tied with Acuna for second in the league in home runs, trailing only fellow Brave Alex Jackson, who has five.
