The 2013 season is behind us and I'm checking how the top 10 players of this season's 2013 draft did this season. Traditionally players drafted out of college advance faster than those drafted out of high school and pitchers usually advance faster than position players. Some players might also be traded to help their team get an established player that can help their team improve immediately.
The first player drafted in 2013 was RHP Mark Appel by the Houston Astros out Stanford. He split 2013 between Class A Tri-City and Class A Quad Cities. He was 0-0, 3.60 ERA, 6 K, 1.20 WHIP in 5.0 IP over 2 games at Tri-City and was 3-1, 3.82 ERA, 27 K, 1.18 WHIP in 33.0 IP over 8 games at Quad Cities.
The Chicago Cubs drafted third baseman Kris Bryant second out of the University of San Diego. He split 2013 between Rookie Arizona, Class A Boise and Class A Advanced Daytona. He hit .167/143/.333 with 0 HR, 2 RBI, 0 R, 0 SB in 2 games at Arizona, hit .354/.416/.692 with 4 HR, 16 RBI, 13 R, 0 SB in 18 games at Boise and hit .333/.387/.719 with 5 HR, 14 RBI, 9 R, 1 SB in 16 games at Daytona.
The Colorado Rockies drafted RHP Jonathan Gray third out of Oklahoma. He split 2013 between Rookie Grand Junction and Class A Advanced Modesto. He was 0-0, 4.05 ERA, 15 K, 1.28 WHIP in 13.1 IP over 4 games at Grand Junction and was 4-0, 0.75 ERA, 36 K, 0.67 WHIP in 24.0 IP over 5 games at Modesto.
