2014 FUTURES
This Year the Mid-West Baseball League will once again be supporting our own Jonathan Mayo, along with Jim Callis and their Top 100 Prospects for the 2014 MWBL FUTURES.
Thanks Jonathan & now Jim, you guys do a great job at mlb.com & the MWBL is once again proud to call you our own.
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 Jonathan Mayo & Jim Callis of MLB.COM, 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 FUTURE”.
