Top Colombian Prospects
Friday, March 12th, 2021Since there was no 2020 minor league season there has not been a lot of change in the Colombian prospects. They would probably be the same players as last year with some minor changes. So rather than regurgitate the same details on the players from last year I will just list them in the same order as 2020 and mention any changes. Myworld has added new signings for teams for players from Colombia who might crack the list next year. There were no graduations for players from the list last year.
1. Luis Patino RHP (Rays) - He was traded from the Padres to the Rays in the Blake Snell trade. He was the only player that played in the 2020 season, appearing in 11 games with one start. He walked 14 in 17.1 innings resulting in a 5.19 ERA.
2. Ronaldo Hernandez C (Red Sox) - Traded from the Rays to the Red Sox in a minor trade.
3. Jhon Torres OF (Cardinals)
4. Jordan Diaz 3B (Athletics)
5. Santiago Florez RHP (Pirates)
6. Brayan Buelvas OF (Athletics)
7. Fabian Pertuz SS (Cubs)
8. Luis Escobar RHP (Free Agent) - One of a number of minor league players released by the Pirates after it was learned there would be no minor league season. Still a free agent.
9. Reiver San Martin LHP (Reds)
10. Ezequil Zabaleta RHP (Rays) - Taken by the Rays from the Mets in the AAA portion of the Rule V draft.
