Which Teams Signed The Most International Prospects?

Every team wants to be able to add a blue-chip international signing to its farm system.

Top 30 International Prospects For July 2, 2015

Putting together a ranking with scouting reports on the top July 2 players is one of the most fun and challenging projects we do. I know general managers, team presidents and owners read these rankings and reports, so we owe it to the people who dedicate themselves to international scouting to be as thorough and comprehensive as possible.

Jeison Guzman, a 16-year-old, switch-hitting Dominican shortstop, has similar qualities to De Leon, impressing scouts for his savvy, instincts and contact-oriented bat.
