With alternate sites coming to an end, MLB Pipeline is recapping the development highlights for the prospects involved for each organization.
Top position prospect: Ryan Vilade, OF (No. 4 on Top 30)
In the second half of the the 2019 season, Vilade hit .327/.357/.527 and was excited to make the leap to Double-A. That obviously never came to pass this year, but he clearly carried the adjustments he made last year with him into instructional league play last fall, this spring and throughout the summer. He’s matured, both physically and as a hitter, and it showed up at the alternate site held at Metropolitan State University in Denver.
