Rome had seven players on Baseball America’s top 20 prospects list including five starting pitchers: left-handers Kolby Allard (No. 4) and Max Fried (No. 6) and right-handers Mike Soroka (No. 7), PatrickWeigel (No. 10) and Touki Toussaint (No. 15).
Acuna and Riley came in at 12th and 13th on the list, respectively.
Baseball America managing editor J.J. Cooper wrote that years from now the 2016 Rome squad “might be remembered as one of the better minor league teams of the early 21st century. The rotation featured prospects in all six spots; that’s because it had too many prospects to settle for a five-man rotation.”
