Top prospects on Minor League playoff rosters

We’re still talking about playoff races in the Majors. Taking the opposite approach of Jim Mora, we’re talking about the actual playoffs in the Minors.

High-A and Single-A regular seasons came to a close Sunday, and their respective postseasons are just around the corner. In fact, the best-of-five Northwest League Championship Series begins Monday night between Eugene and Vancouver. The other five High-A and Single-A circuits open their semifinal rounds Tuesday. Double-A playoffs follow on Sept. 20 while the Triple-A Triple Championship will decide the best club from the Minors’ highest level from Sept. 30-Oct. 2. Fans can follow Minor League playoff coverage over on MiLB.com.

The postseason means more Minor League Baseball, and more Minor League Baseball means more prospect action. Twelve of MLB Pipeline’s Top 100 prospects alone are set to compete for High-A and Single-A titles this week.

Here is a list of every prospect on an active playoff roster from each parent club’s Top 30 prospect ranking, which was updated on Sept. 19 to include Double-A clubs:
