2020 FUTURES
This Year once again the Mid-West Baseball League will be supporting MLB’s Top 100 Prospects.
Former owner of the Iron City Yinzers Jonathan Mayo, along with his colleague Jim Callis – will bring us the 2020 MWBL FUTURES.
Thanks, Jonathan & Jim, you guys do a great job at mlb.com & the Mid-West Baseball League is once again proud to have called 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”.

JULIO RODRIGUEZ GOES #1 TO THE CHICAGO MOBSTERS
With the first pick in the 2020 Mid-West Baseball League Draft, the Chicago Mobsters select from the Seattle Mariners Organization – right-handed-hitting outfielder Julio Rodriguez.
Chicago’s management feels there isn’t a prospect in the draft with more upside than Rodriguez.
A Chance to be a run-producing impact bat, one who hits for average & power, Rodriguez has an advanced approach at the plate, especially given his age & excellent raw power.
Described as a physical beast – he might have 70 Raw Power & the ability to play a corner outfield, with an arm perfectly suited for right field.
Rodríguez was one of only three 18-year old teenagers to play High-A ball in 2019 & not only did he reach that level—he dominated it for 17 games.
For Rodríguez, he’s constantly focused on improving his approach at the plate, an approach that evaluators inside and outside baseball describe as extremely advanced.
An athletic specimen and five-tool player, advanced beyond his years, with a ceiling so high it lets your imagination run wild!
Balancing the charisma of a future star with the work ethic of a 25th-man grinder – Julio Rodriguez is just that & now he’s property of the Chicago Mobsters organization.
Once again the Chicago Mobsters Select Julio Rodriguez with the #1 Pick in the 2020 Mid-West Baseball League Draft.
