We have posted about top 100 prospect rankings from Baseball America, MLB Pipeline, Baseball Prospectus, Keith Law, Kiley McDaniel and now Fangraphs. Six different sources and they all agree that Ke’Bryan Hayes is one of the top prospects in baseball. After that, not much else was the same. Hayes was the only player to make all six lists, but six other Pittsburgh Pirates prospects made at least one list. Below you will find the link to each article, along with the Pirates listed among their top 100 prospects. At the bottom, I organized it by player to see how each one ranked.
