It was a fantastic season for the Midwest League overall, with tons of blockbuster talent and legitimate breakout stars getting their shine.<\/p>\n<p>These rankings are based on a semi-subjective combination of statistical performance and future projection and are not just a list of who I think are the best prospects. That is, the #1 Midwest League prospect might not be the top guy on a standard prospect 100 ranking, but this list is also not strictly the best statistical performers. Listing out 25-year-olds beating up on younger pitchers and vice-versa isn\u2019t exactly insightful for prospecting, but I also want to give space to players who contributed significant statistical production.<\/p>\n<div class=\"s2nPlayer k-rs9eAzAykg-2258759-9000\" data-type=\"float\"><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?SC=rs9eAzAykg-2258759-9000&#038;offsetx=0&#038;offsety=0&#038;floatwidth=400&#038;floatposition=bottom-right\" data-type=\"s2nScript\"><\/script><br \/>\nSo without further ado, here are my top 10 prospects who played in the Midwest League in 2022.<\/p>\n<h4>1. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=delacr000ell&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Elly De La Cruz<\/a>, SS, 20, Dayton Dragons (Cincinnati Reds)<\/h4>\n<p>De La Cruz took the Midwest League by storm this season, displaying an explosive set of tools that led to plenty of highlight-reel action. He slashed .302\/.259\/.609 with an incredible 20 HR and 28 SB in just 73 games with the Dayton Dragons before continuing to do more of the same at Double-A as a 20-year-old. While his power and speed are undeniable, his extremely aggressive plate approach and frankly unrefined swing will require plenty of work to survive against more advanced pitchers. It\u2019s impossible to deny the production though, and it\u2019s easy to see a legitimate superstar franchise player in De La Cruz. It\u2019s just easy to see how it might not work out as well.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Reds No. 2 prospect Elly De La Cruz celebrated being named to the Futures Game yesterday by blasting three home runs in Dayton&#8217;s doubleheader. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/RedsMiLB?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#RedsMiLB<\/a><\/p>\n<p>(\ud83c\udfa5 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/DragonsBaseball?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">@DragonsBaseball<\/a>) <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/6ZZ97BVCpI\">pic.twitter.com\/6ZZ97BVCpI<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Cincinnati Reds (@Reds) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Reds\/status\/1545448878417256454?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">July 8, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>2. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=gracef000gor&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gordon Graceffo<\/a>, RHP, 22, Peoria Chiefs (St. Louis Cardinals)<\/h4>\n<p>If De La Cruz was the easiest pick for #1 overall, Graceffo was maybe an easier pick for #1 pitcher on this list. Graceffo dominated the Midwest League in his 45.2 innings of work, notching a 0.99 ERA, 0.68 WHIP, and 31.5 K-BB%. He checked all the boxes during his High-A stint, inducing tons of whiffs, pounding the zone, keeping the ball on the ground, and pitching deep into games. He also didn\u2019t give up a single HR. In essence, Graceffo was about as perfect as a starting pitcher can be.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/STLCards?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#STLCards<\/a> prospect Gordon Graceffo was on fire again today: 5.2 IP, 3 H, 1 ER, 0 BB, 9 K<\/p>\n<p>In 21.2 IP: 0.83 ERA, 12.5 K\/9, and 0.8 BB\/9 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/pRQ71N9Jwm\">pic.twitter.com\/pRQ71N9Jwm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 Doug Otto (@hdouglasotto) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hdouglasotto\/status\/1519455099101270018?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">April 27, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h4>3. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=hassel002rob&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Robert Hassell III<\/a>, OF, 21, Fort Wayne Tincaps (San Diego Padres)<\/h4>\n<p>Hassell had an extremely impressive season, making good on the hype that he\u2019s gradually built throughout his pro tenure. He hit a robust .299\/.379\/.467 with 10 HR and 20 SB in 75 games. While the in-game power may not have played as much as some might have hoped, his power looks good enough to suggest a dynamic fantasy asset when combined with his plus-hitting ability and electric speed.<\/p>\n<h4>4. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=willia001gav,willia002gav&amp;search=Gavin+Williams&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Gavin Williams<\/a>, RHP, 23, Lake County Captains (Cleveland Guardians)<\/h4>\n<p>Williams made his pro debut with the Lake County Captains and quickly raised his fantasy stock with exceptional play. His 1.40 ERA, 0.87 WHIP, and 31.6 K-BB% in 45 IP speak to his dominance, as he was able to miss plenty of bats and limit damage. Like Graceffo, he also did not give up any HR during his time in High-A.<\/p>\n<h4>5. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=keith-000col&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Colt Keith<\/a>, 3B\/1B, 21, West Michigan Whitecaps (Detroit Tigers)<\/h4>\n<p>Keith was quickly becoming my favorite breakout player of the Midwest League before an injury sidelined him in June. Through his 48 games this season, Keith hit .301\/.370\/.544 with 9 HR, and a 10.2 BB% and 19.4 K%, showing a burgeoning power hitter with good plate discipline. His contact skills also began to improve after the cold-weather start, as did his power. His injury prevented him from a full-fledged breakout, but on the bright side now is the perfect time to get in on Keith in dynasty leagues before he potentially has a true breakout in 2023.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/Tigers?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#Tigers<\/a> 20yo INF prospect Colt Keith is quickly becoming one of my favorites of the <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/MidwestLeague?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#MidwestLeague<\/a>.

While his over-the-fence power didn\u2019t come through until he was promoted to Double-A, the 20-year-old showed supreme bat-to-ball and speed skills.

He eventually raised his batting line to .260\/.323\/.516 with 20 HR in 89 games, earning a promotion to Double-A. Soderstrom\u2019s ability to adjust was very encouraging for the 20-year-old catcher, though he may need to make some plate discipline adjustments to continue to find success at the upper levels.<\/p>\n<h4>8. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.baseball-reference.com\/register\/player.fcgi?id=martin012ang&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=&amp;utm_medium=referral\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Angel Martinez<\/a>, 2B, 20, Lake County Captains (Cleveland Guardians)<\/h4>\n<p>Martinez started off a little slower than some of the other names on this list but began to heat up as his season went on, blossoming into a very intriguing fantasy prospect. His .288\/.384\/.477 slash line with 10 HR and 10 SB in 77 shows a very well-rounded player. I\u2019m not sure how much to buy into the stolen bases, but his excellent plate discipline (12.1 BB%, 17.5 K%) shows an extremely advanced hitter for his age (20).
