NASSAU, BAHAMAS – Minor league players Jasrado Chisholm and Kristian Robinson remain on top of the Arizona Diamondbacks prospect ranking.

Chisholm checked in at No.1 on the list that was put out by the team this month, while Robinson was named as the No.5 prospect.

Chisholm was promoted to Visilia last season and is likely to start their next season unless he’s promoted to Jackson at the beginning the year.

He was promoted to Visalia last July and posted the best numbers of his career there (.329/.369/.597, 10 HR). That earned him a trip to the Arizona Fall League (AFL) where he continued to impress with a .441/.489/.767 line through 10 games.

According to the Diamondbacks site, Chisholm is expected to make his Major League Baseball (MLB) during the 2021 season.

As for Robinson, he has quickly moved up the ladder, seeing that 2018 was his first season in the system.

He started the season with Arizona affiliate the Missoula Osprey. He put up .272/.341/.414 through 40 games with the team.

It is expected that Robinson will start extended spring training before spending the second half of the year with Short A Hillsboro.

The team expects Robinson to make it to the major league by the 2022 season.
