No hitters in Top Prospects
I find it odd that in my historical replay (starting in 1901 and currently entering 1911) that no hitter ever makes the top ten prospect list. In fact, they don't even make the top 20! Going into 1911, the highest rated hitter is Chicago's Vic Saier, and he's ranked #30. That puts 29 pitchers ahead of him.
I find it hard to believe that young hitters like Ty Cobb, Eddie Collins and Shoeless Joe Jackson have never made the scouting list.
