Pressure can be a concern with baseball’s top prospects

When a baseball team is rebuilding, young prospects can provide much-needed excitement for both the manager and the fans. But that also can bring extra pressure, which may not be the best thing for a player adjusting to the big leagues. Detroit manager AJ Hinch says young players need to focus on the game — and not worry about living up to external expectations. The Tigers have five of baseball’s top 25 prospects, according to MLB Pipeline. Hinch is in his first season as Detroit’s manager.
