Stat Pack: Teenagers In The Minors

Filed under: Stat Pack

If you read Baseball America, you probably know that age is important. All other things being equal a 19-year-old dominating the Midwest League is more impressive than a 24-year-old blitzing through the Southern League. So with that in mind, here are the stats for every teenager in full-season ball. The pitchers are ranked according to ERA while the hitters are sorted by runs created.

It's probably no surprise that Mike Trout is having an impressive start to his 2010 season, but you may not have noticed how few teenagers there are in high Class A and Double-A. Jay Austin, Salvador Perez and Anthony Gose's seasons become more impressive when you put their age in context. And Martin Perez and Jordan Lyles stand out as teenagers already pitching in the Texas League.

The cutoff date is today's date, so any players who turned 20 today (May 6) or before don't qualify for this list.
