Maybe the in-game Top 100 list is the problem? I say this because the players you mentioned barely show up on Fangraphs' Top 100 list. Alex Reyes is #16 overall (#3 for pitchers) and Carson Kelly is #85 overall (#3 for catchers). Jordan Hicks doesn't even show up on any list I can find, probably because he's so raw.
Also, I've built a minor league system with numerous players with above average potential that turned into great ML level players; however, I never broke the Top 15 minor league systems.
I'm not trying to make excuses or "stand in" for the developers, but trying to bring a different perspective.
