Most Instriguing Prospects at Instructional League

Instructional League, held at the St. Louis Cardinals training facility in Jupiter, Fla. from late September to early October, can represent a turning point in a prospect’s career. It’s a time when a handful of chosen players convene in a spring-training-like environment to practice all the little things farm director Gary LaRocque and his staff think they need to work on. It’s also when coaches get their mitts on newly drafted players, who are generally left alone in their debut seasons to show what they can do.

Now that this year’s Instructional League is over, we take a look at the players who stand to benefit the most from what they just learned and practiced in Florida.
