Baseball Analysts: Best Young Players in Baseball by Age: Part Three (21- and 20-Year Olds)

Age 21:

3. Colby Rasmus STL CF
AA 556 PA .275/.381/.551 OPS .932
Rasmus led the Texas League in home runs (29), extra-base hits (69), and runs scored (93), while hitting .312/.429/.624 in the second half. He also drew 70 walks and stole 18 bases. A bona fide five-tool player, Colby led off for Team USA at the World Cup in November. His spring will determine whether he starts the season in St. Louis or Triple-A Memphis.

11. Bryan Anderson STL C
AA 431 PA .298/.350/.388 OPS .738
Anderson bypassed High-A en route to Double-A as a 20-year-old all-star catcher just two years out of high school. His body of work includes Team USA and the Futures Game.
