Fastball speed of minor league prospects

By Tangotiger, 10:44 AM

Ben Badler checks in with the fastball speed of minor league prospects and their eventual ascension to the bigs. What I’d like to know is a similar list based on K-BB per BFP. That is, are the pure tools at that age more indicative of talent level, or is even the performance at that age and level more indicative.

UPDATE: And also a part 2 as he looks into lefties and relievers, with a The Book mention, too.
