[Mark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Every year since the first prospect handbook came out (2001), they have figured out ways to do this book a little better. Some great new features this year compared to past: one of my favorites is position rankings. The book list each position in the field and then list top ten future prospects of those positions. So, if you want to know the top ten catchers (or any position) of the future check this book out. Players still getting graded on hitting, power, speed, fielding, arm and a BA Grade (a measure of prospects value as it attempts to gauge the players realistic ceiling).
Again a about a half page on each prospect and it list each MLB teams top 30 prospects. Over 900 scouting reports listing players strengths and weakness. Giving baseball fans a sneak peak at their teams future(cardinals).
This is the best handbook to date with a lot of information for the baseball guru. Scott Kingery, Luis Urias, Valadimir Guerrero Jr, kNick Senzel, Alex Reyes, Francisco Mejia, Bo Bichette, J.P.Crawford, Ronald Acuna, Lewis Brinson, Willie Calhoun, Mitch Keller Shohei Ohtani and many many more. The future is now
