Former UNC second-baseman Michael Busch is gaining some momentum in the minors after being named to the top 10 prospects to watch in his position.
Busch last laced up for the North Carolina Tar Heels in 2018, landing with the LA Dodgers in round one of the 2019 MLB draft. Since then, the 25-year-old has put on a show in the minors, becoming a top prospect to watch.
