Minor League Pitching Leaderboards, Part 1
Lists with everyone eligible

We covered the hitters, so now let's take a look at the pitchers.

We'll start with the lists of all eligible prospects.

I require at least 100 batters faced (plate appearances against -- same thing), but those with fewer than 150 I put in green type since there's not much data.

I also separate out those who are on "MLB Track" (essentially, on track to reach AAA by age-23).  I use this to separate out the prospects whose stats come from facing the very best of their age-peers or older players.

It is not determinative, it's just another useful way of looking at things.  It probably means less with respect to pitchers, but I break it down anyway.  Those who are on MLB Track, I put in red type, unless they are green, in which case they are bolded green.

Those traded or otherwise no longer with the club are in the right place, but unranked and in blue type.

Those more than three years older than MLB Track age-level are in gray type.

While I drop hitters after age-26, I keep pitchers since there are many more instances of pitchers "finding something" after age-26 and achieving success.  I have yet to find a true example of that with a hitter.

Those in foreign leagues are left off because the data is just not reliable enough.

NOTES: Yarbrough is getting some deserved buzz after his amazing season, but it's a pretty small amount of data and I've developed skepticism about college pitchers dominating in the low minors.  The seasons that jump out at me are the  18-year-olds Zach Littell and Daniel Missaki at Pulaski.  Also Osmel Morales, whom I've had on the radar for awhile though he's a bit older.  Farther up the ladder, Mayckol Guaipe was added to the 40-man roster over the winter.  There's a reason for that.
