A Preview of the 2015 Prospect Guide With a Look at Josh Bell’s Future

Published:

The 2015 Prospect Guide was released last week, featuring Josh Bell on the cover of the book. Bell was our 2014 Player of the Year, and profiles as the first baseman of the future in Pittsburgh, due to a lack of space in the outfield. He was also our number four prospect in the system in our top 50 rankings this year.

For those of you who haven’t bought the Prospect Guide before, the book features profiles on every player in the system, including full-page profiles for all of the top 50 prospects. It also includes a ratings system, with a 2-8 grade for each prospect’s upside, and a risk evaluation. As a preview, here is Josh Bell’s profile, just as it looks in the 2015 Prospect Guide. You can order your copy of the book here.

While Bell is featured on the front of the book, Tyler Glasnow (2014 Pitcher of the Year) and Josh Harrison (reference to the 2011 Prospect Guide) are featured on the back cover. On a related note, I recently found a few copies of the older Prospect Guides, including a small number of the 2011 books. All of the 2011-13 books are on clearance for $1. As of this writing, there are only two books remaining each from the 2011 and 2013 books.
