September 19, 2002

At Baseball America, we enjoy nothing more than seeing top prospects make their major league debuts. So we're keeping a list of in-season promotions and debuts for members of each organization's top 30 prospects. Don't confuse players on this list with prospects who made it on to major league Opening Day rosters, which can be accessed by subscribers. Also, players who have previous major league experience, even just one at-bat or inning pitched, won't show up either. This list is just for debuting players who are in our 2002 Prospect Handbook.
