Adding a few other names:
Gavin Lux - LAD SS, 2016 1st rounder (20), tore up A+ and has done the same at AA. Were questions about his bat/power coming into the year but has answered those.
Nolan Gorman - 2018 STL first rounder out of HS. Monster power. He went straight to the Appy league and tore it up, promoted to A ball already and holding his own. Hitting for power there but K's have understandably spiked.
Royce Lewis - 2017 1st overall pick. I think there were some questions about just how good he would be coming into this year. He has been great all year and now looks like a multi-tool tool star.
Jesus Luzardo - acquired by A's in the Doolittle trade last year. Has climbed from A+ to AAA and dominated every level at 20 years old.

Kopech who I saw a few weeks before his call up to Chicago diagnosed with a torn UCL...awful news and it shows how fragile pitching prospects can be.
