2020 South Side Sox Prospect Vote: Wrap-Up

Some 14,634 votes later, we have our final Top 50!

As usual, it’s an arduous process, with it’s fair share of critics here (ChicagoTexan gets a shout-out) and elsewhere (folks embroiled in higher-minded game shows, puzzles, book clubs, social media tournaments and travelogues). But as the writer who shepherded this whole series, and has from the start, I appreciate your participation, which ultimately contributes to our overall Top 100 Prospect list at SSHP.

Logan Glass romped to a win in the final round, with 38% (33 of 88 votes). It’s his first time in the poll.

Last year’s No. 50 prospect was Anderson Comas.

Glass makes it four right fielders advancing in our Top Prospect Vote:

We ended up with three catchers, three first basemen, two second basemen, three third basemen, three shortstops, two left fielders, five center fielders, four right fielders, seven right-handed starting pitchers, four left-handed starting pitchers, eight right-handed relief pitchers and six left-handed relief pitchers among our Top 50.

A number of players who were among our 2019 Top 50 voted prospects fell short this year:

At any rate, here’s the final vote!
