Everyone's favorite Texarkana product Slade Heathcott continues to feel the love from Baseball America with his ranking as the 6th best prospect in this year's AFL Top 20, (subscription required). Slade's in pretty lofty company as the five guys ahead of him (Javier Baez, Jonathan Singleton, Christian Yelich, Kyle Gibson, and George Springer) are all Top 100 candidates. Heathcott was ranked directly ahead of Mike Zunino and Nick Castellanos. Lofty company indeed...
As much as BA loves Heathcott, they seem to have equal parts disinterest in Mark Montgomery. Mark pitched well in the AFL (when does he not pitch well?) despite the league's notoriously hitter friendly conditions. Hopefully Mark has no interest in making lists like this and will take comfort in knowing he is soon bound for a promising career in the majors.
Congratulations to Slade for his inclusion on yet another top prospect list!
