Like most outlets, Fangraphs is updating their organizational and overall rankings to reflect what we have seen in the first half of the season and to reflect each team’s draft. In their most recent update, Fangraphs now has SS Ronny Mauricio ranked as the 29th best prospect in baseball saying:

We got some immediate feedback on Monday’s sweeping update, which included more industry interest in Mauricio. The average major league swinging strike rate is 11%. Mauricio has a 12% swinging strike rate, and is a switch-hitting, 6-foot-4 teenager facing full-season pitching. It’s common for lanky teenagers to struggle with contact as they grow into their frames, but Mauricio hasn’t had that issue so far.

This is a significant jump for Mauricio in less than a full season. He had entered the season as Fangraphs’ 68th best prospect in the game. He would take a considerable leap forward in June with him rising all the way to 39. He has now jumped 10 spots to be ranked among the 30 prospects in baseball. Of note, Mauricio is the only player on Fangraphs’ top 30 who is playing in the South Atlantic League.

Other prospects joining Mauricio on Fangraphs’ top 200 ranked prospects are Andres Gimenez (53), Mark Vientos (84), Brett Baty, Shervyen Newton, and David Peterson. For some reason, Fangraphs stopped their rankings at 124 and listed players after that which is why there are no specific rankings for Baty, Newton, and Peterson.
