The Indians have a farm system on the rise, and its greatest strength is its collection of advanced young hitters. Four of their best will play at High A Lake County this year, despite possessing six games of full-season experience between them.
Outfielder George Valera and middle infielders Brayan Rocchio, Aaron Bracho and Jose Tena -- all part of a potentially special 2017 international class for Cleveland -- will play the entire season at age 20. Rocchio and Valera were the youngest regulars in the short-season New York-Penn League in the summer of 2019, when the latter played six games in Low A. Tena hasn't played above the Rookie-level Arizona League, where he formed the primary double-play combination with Bracho two years ago before Bracho moved up to the NY-Penn League for the final week.
