George Lombard Jr. Biggest Riser In Latest Prospect Re-Rank
New York Yankees shortstop prospect George Lombard Jr. was the biggest riser in MLB.com's latest refresh of its top prospects list, jumping 49 spots from No. 93 to No. 44 after a fantastic start to the High-A season. The 2023 first-round draft pick hit .329, but perhaps more impressive was his outstanding eye that produced a 20.7 percent walk rate and .495 on-base percentage. Chipping in 11 steals was the icing on the cake. This was all done in 24 games as a 19-year-old, so there should be plenty more growth to come. The 6-foot-2 slugger isn't expected to get to the majors until 2027, but a fast riser like Lombard Jr. is just the type of player dynasty managers should be keeping an eye on as they could get there -- and produce -- sooner than expected.
