The 2009 crop of prospects was not as successful as other years. Of the twelve prospects, two are all-stars. Every player made it to the major leagues. Two of the players are still active and set to play in 2023: Jason Heyward and Stephen Strasburg.
Here’s a look at my 2009 Prospects collection, and the final results of each player’s career (players who are still active are in bold):
- Jason Heyward (active MLB 13-year veteran, 1x all-star)
- Travis Snider (retired MLB 8-year veteran)
- Dustin Ackley (retired MLB 6-year veteran)
- Jesus Montero (retired MLB 5-year veteran)
- Jess Todd (retired MLB 2-year veteran)
- Austin Jackson (retired MLB 9-year veteran)
- Fernando Martinez (retired MLB 5-year veteran)
- Stephen Strasburg (active MLB 13-year veteran, 3x all-star)
- Tony Sanchez (retired MLB 4-year veteran)
- Adrian Cardenas (retired MLB 1-year veteran)
- Drew Storen (retired MLB 8-year veteran)
