Which top prospects are in the MiLB playoffs?

It’s time to play for a ring.

The full-season Minor League postseason begins this week as High-A and Single-A circuits open their playoff series from coast to coast. The three Double-A leagues will start their postseasons next week with Triple-A championship series following after that.

While the primary purpose of the Minor Leagues is to develop future Major Leaguers, players, coaches and executives will tell you that establishing a winning team culture at the lower levels helps breed success in The Show. Win now, win later, as it goes.
