Now slugging for Birmingham, Mercedes slipped a bit from last year’s poll.

This concludes the SSS Prospect Vote. An impressive 9,333 votes were cast over 50 polls, an average of 187 per round — impressive even considering the bizarre Russian bot spike that seemed to scandalize Round 10.

All 50 of these votes are factoring into our overall list of Top 100 Prospects, which will continue in earnest and conclude right before the 2019 draft.

Thanks to whitesoxman20051917 for the bulk of the copy on all of these player capsules, straight from his stellar Deep Dive series this offseason.

And for those of you shedding a tiny tear for the loss of (almost) daily polling, fret not. Something will pop up.

Voting results for Round 50

In the final vote, it wasn’t much of a fight. Yermin Mercedes pushed forward by almost doubling the nods given his second-place competition, earning 25 of 62 (41%) votes. Mercedes ranked 42nd in last year’s poll.
