Because of the abbreviated nature of the 2020 MLB season, this year’s top righthanded prospects list has a lot more experience than normal. Grayson Rodriguez is the only one of the top nine prospects on this list who doesn’t have MLB experience. The top two, Sixto Sanchez and Ian Anderson, have playoff starts already on their resumes.

The Tigers have two of the top 10 righthanders thanks to Casey Mize and Matt Manning.

Editor’s Note: Due to a production error, Mariners righthander George Kirby was inadvertently left off the list. He has since been added.
