The 2021 minor league season is not two months deep, so we’re long past due for a check-in with the
Double-A Midland RockHounds.
The Hounds roster is light on top names from our Community Prospect List Top 30, as most of the advanced talent has already moved up to Triple-A and the next wave hasn’t yet arrived from the lower-minors. The high stock they do have is mostly on the infield, where a few shortstops are sharing the diamond.
Far and away the top prospect in Midland is
Nick Allen, who ranked No. 3 on our CPL before the season. He’s the best defensive shortstop in the entire minors, for any team at any level according to MLB Pipeline each of the last two years, but he’s still finishing up developing his bat on his way up to the majors. He hit well in High-A in 2019, but then got hurt midway through that summer and had no 2020 season to play in.
