Every year after Opening Day we list the 10 youngest players in every league. A lot has changed since then. The short-season and rookie leagues are now playing. Many players have been promoted. So with that in mind, here’s a look at the 10 youngest players in each of the 18 domestic affiliated leagues. This list only includes players currently on the active roster, so the California League’s Luis Urias (1997-6-3) and the Carolina League’s Victor Robles (1997-5-19) are not topping their leagues like they usually would.
