Following the team's top draft pick from last season on BA's updated list are a pair of left-handed pitchers: Cody Reed and Amir Garrett. They rank Nos. 2 and 3, respectively, for the second straight season.
Robert Stephenson, a right-handed starter who was the team’s top prospect at this time a year ago, is No. 4 now followed by three outfielders (Taylor Trammell, Jesse Winker and Aristides Aquino) at No. 5-7.
Filling out the top 10 are No. 8 Sal Romano (RHP), No. 9 Vladimir Gutierrez (RHP) and No. 10 Tyler Stephenson (catcher).

Senzel, Trammell, Romano, Gutierrez and Aquino are all newcomers to the top 10 this year.
The 19-year-old Trammell was drafted No. 35 overall out of high school last year while Gutierrez (21) was signed as an international free agent in September.
Infielder Alex Blandino and pitchers Nick Travieso, Rookie Davis and Keury Mella all dropped out of the top 10 while Jose Peraza (No. 4 last year) isn’t on this year’s list because he turned in a strong second half of the 2016 season in the big leagues.
