Most of the 2011 class of prospects had highly successful MLB careers, and most of them are still active. Of the twelve prospects, five are all-stars. Three of them will be serious Hall of Fame candidates when they retire. Every player except for one made it to the major leagues.
Here’s a look at my 2011 Prospects collection, and the final results of each player’s career (players who are still active are in bold):
- Paul Goldschmidt (active Hero of Baseball)
- Yu Darvish (active Hero of Baseball)
- Mike Trout (active Hero of Baseball)
