Hey guys,

I just want to share some observations I made with international draftees.
In my D-Backs save (end of first season) I randomly went through some international leagues. I saw that the Liga Mexicana de Beisbol had some very strong prospects who all were drafted in the mexican draft in 2021. So I purchased them for 500k each and 3 of them entered the Top 15 of the MLB prospect list immediately. One year later, after the mexican draft, I did the same and right now 5 of my 6 top prospects are from Mexico with my top 4 prospects being from Mexico and all in the top 20 of MLB prospect list.
I have the feeling, that those prospects appear to be too strong. I have the opinion that those mexican guys are compareble to the top guys of the MLB draft. Furthermore most of those top mexican guys are very strong defensively.

Have anyone of you made similar observations?

EDIT: Right now I have 14 prospects in the Top 100 prospect list. 7 of them have been purchased from Mexico and appear to be stronger than my non-mexican prospects. I checked their values for potential ratings via commissioner mode. Their ratings are all compareble to top MLB prospects so that they are unlikely to be overestimated by my scout.
