Marten Gasparini, SS
Prospect ranking: No. 8 in Royals system
Current team: Lexington Legents, Class A
Unlike most kids growing up in Italy, Gasparini wasn't interested in pursuing
a career on the soccer pitch. After watching highlights from the 1999 and 2001
World Series featuring Derek Jeter, Gasparini joined a youth league at age 10,
and moved to the Italian Baseball Academy at age 14. He soon developed into a
promising shortstop prospect and signed with the Royals in 2013 for $1.3
million
