AL EAST Top Pop Up Prospects (2021) - NYY, BOS, TBR, BAL, TOR

I'll be running through each team, showcasing the top ten Pop Up Prospects according to the System. (Updated on 1/28 to reflect a key change to the GAP calculations. I also revised the model to treat all levels with a flat level-adjustment - that means I'm not adjusting for proximity to the MLB in this list.)

Toronto Blue Jays 2021 Top 10 Pop Up Prospects.

I'm aware that Austin Martin was traded. (There may be other names like that too. I can't figure out why - maybe because he spent more time with the Jays in 2021 than the Twins. But that's why I'm working on this in the off-season and not in-season - working out the wrinkles.)
