    Top 20 fWAR 2014-2018 pitchers

    1. Clayton Kershaw (High School)
    2. Corey Kluber (College)
    3. Chris Sale (College)
    4. Max Scherzer (College)
    5. Jacob DeGrom (College)
    6. David Price (College)
    7. Zack Greinke (High School)
    8. Justin Verlander (College)
    9. Jake Arrieta (College)
    10. Carlos Carrasco (Intl)
    11. Stephen Strasburg (College)
    12. Jose Quintana (Intl)
    13. Gerrit Cole (College)
    14. Jon Lester (High School)
    15. Chris Archer (High School)
    16. Dallas Kuechel (College)
    17. Madison Bumgarner (High School)
    18. Johnny Cueto (Intl)
    19. Cole Hamels (High School)
    20. Trevor Bauer (College)

    11 of the top 20 here were college players. Of the 6 high schoolers - only Lester and Archer were not drafted in the first round. So there seems to be a slight bias to college success here - much more stark trend at the top of the list. The physical maturity matters. College kids in general are safer, but the upside for college pitchers is still really high, especially compared to say college middle field prospects.

    Wonder how these kids were Scouted in High School and College? You think the Scouts used the fWAR stat, to determine how good they would be?

    Why reward a guy for using steroids?

    Kopech is #19.

    No Yankee in top 30.

    it was not a good year for the Yanks in the minors, still like the depth we have there.

    I'm happy to see Loaisiga in the top 100, the sleeper prospect for next year is Luis Medina

    You think steroid effects ware off that quickly?

    I know he was suspended, which substance did they find in his tests?

    He was caught under the shroud of Turinabol.

    You think baseball has a fairly established discipline policy?

    Baseball's not picking the top prospects.

    But, no I don't think they have a clear and established policy. I'd ban a player for life. That would likely stop it.

    I don't agree. Too much money is at stake. Some people would still risk it.

    Let 'em try.

    Probably only players who know they can never make the bigs without juicing would take the risk.

    Some may try new, undetectable methods.
