Updated prospect rankings list Fresno shortstop Carlos Correa No. 1 Overall

FRESNO, Calif. - ESPN writer Keith Law released his updated prospect rankings today, listing current Fresno Grizzlies shortstop Carlos Correa No. 1 overall. The 20-year-old is listed ahead of talented prospects Corey Seager (Triple-A Oklahoma City), Byron Buxton (Double-A Chattanooga), J.P. Crawford (High-A Clearwater) and Francisco Lindor (Triple-A Columbus).

"Correa won't turn 21 until late September - by which point he'll be the Astros' starting shortstop - and already has dominated every minor league level he has played in," stated Keith Law. "He has MVP upside, with one of the best pure hit tools in the minors."

Correa became the fifth youngest player in Fresno Grizzlies history and only the seventh to make his debut at age 20 or younger when he first appeared for the team on May 12 at Albuquerque. Since joining the Grizzlies, the Puerto Rican native is batting .268 (15-56) with four doubles, two homers and seven RBI over 13 games. Earlier this season, he batted .385 (45-117) with 15 doubles, two triples, seven home runs, 32 RBI and 15 walks in 29 games with Double-A Corpus Christi. Entering play today, Correa is leading all of Minor League Baseball in extra-base hits (30) and ranks in the top five in hits (60), RBI (39) and on-base plus slugging percentage (1.057).

The Central Valley can watch the talented shortstop in person tonight, Wednesday, and Thursday as the Fresno Grizzlies take on the Memphis Redbirds, Triple-A affiliate of the St. Louis Cardinals, at Chukchansi Park in Downtown Fresno.

A $5 Super View or Field Box ticket special is available online at FresnoGrizzlies.com or at the box office for the day games on Wednesday and Thursday.

Additional notes on Carlos Correa:

- Was selected in the first round (first overall) by the Houston Astros in the 2012 First-Year Player Draft out of the Puerto Rico Baseball Academy in Gurabo, Puerto Rico ... became the highest-drafted player ever out of Puerto Rico.

- Is the 12th No. 1 overall pick to ever play in the Pacific Coast League in a non-rehab role or without prior MLB experience and the first since right-handed pitcher Luke Hochevar with the Omaha Royals in 2007 ... is the first position player since Adrian Gonzalez with the Albuquerque Isotopes in 2003.

- MLB Network lead analyst Harold Reynolds stated, "Carlos is one of those rare talents and must-see players that come around once in a generation. As we usher in a new era of baseball stars, Carlos will be right at the top of young talent leading the way."
