Our whirlwind tour of the ACC is just about over. Below are the conference’s top 50 pitching prospects for the 2012 MLB Draft. Below that is the list of the top 50 hitting prospects for the 2012 MLB Draft. I have notes on literally every guy on the list (and dozens more who didn’t make the cut), so feel free to scream at me in the comments or via email. If you do that, we can get into the “how’s” and “why’s” of this particular list’s genesis. That’s why making lists and rankings is hard work. Doing everything that goes into a ranking take so much time and effort that once the list is finalized and I’m proud of what I’ve done, the thought of writing out the rationale on top of everything seems like overkill. But the reader is stuck with only a list, which, if we’re being totally honest, doesn’t add a whole lot of value to the draft conversation. All the fun baseball stuff gets lost along the way. I suppose that’s just the long way of saying, yes, I’d love to add commentary now, but, hey, it’s opening day! Time to watch some real live college baseball for the first time in way too long. Until the games start, enjoy more lists!
