Breaking Down the FYPD Rankings

Since Shota Imanaga signed with the Chicago Cubs, he's received high marks from his teammates and moved up this list:

Of the six players who signed on January 15 among the international teen prospects, the Padres' Leodalis De Vries is the highest-ranked player at 32. The other top-50 international signee, the Braves' Jose Perdomo, probably has the highest floor among those players, as much of a floor as any teenage international signee can truly have.
