2022 FUTURES
This Year the Mid-West Baseball League had to change some things up a little due to the MLB & MLB Players Associations not having a Collective Bargaining Agreement in hand at the time of the publication. The Mid-West Baseball League usually uses MLB’s top 100 Prospect list which is created by former MWBL Franchise owner Jonathan Mayo who held the reigns of the Iron City Yinzers & is one of MLB Prospect Gurus. Jonathan along with his colleague Jim Callis is our go-to guy on this one, but again MLB & the MLBPA are not in agreement at the time of this MWBL Feature. So this year, we are going old school. We’re reverting back to Baseball American for the Top 100 Prospects. – bring us the 2021 MWBL FUTURES.
The MWBL always has an eye toward the future, & looks at which MWBL Franchises may have the brightest future ahead of them. The formula used for the “MWBL FUTURES” list is based on a 100-point system. The Top Prospect, according to Baseball American receives 100 points, the second-rated prospect receives 99 points, this continues until the #100th prospect, who receives 1 point.
Each MWBL franchise will then have the points totaled for their prospects, which gives us an overall number and produces our “MWBL FUTURES” list. Here is the much-anticipated list for “MWBL FUTURES”.
