Our 2021 Community Prospect List adds its next member, and a new addition to the organization entirely in Rule 5 draft pick Ka’ai Tom. Here’s the current list, including their winning margins (the difference between his % of the vote, and the % of the runner-up):
A.J. Puk, LHP (+42%)
Ka’ai Tom, OF (+3%)
The Oakland A’s made a Rule 5 draft pick in 2019 with Vimael Machin, and the infielder stuck in the majors all season, meaning the organization got to keep him. He ranked No. 23 on last year’s CPL, and now he’s part of the team’s immediate depth chart at second base.
