The A's rolled into spring training with an established core of veterans headlining the infield and the rotation, but if Oakland wants to snag its fourth-straight postseason berth this year, they will need some reinforcements at the hands of younger players too -- even if some won't be on the Opening Day roster.

That's why this spring's reps for some of the A's top up-and-comers is so important -- they'll serve as early indicators on who might be ready to help the big league team in 2021, especially after there was no 2020 minor league season to help gauge player development.

So while the initial spring storylines will follow Matt Olson's hot start, Matt Chapman bouncing back, how the newly-revamped bullpen will play out, and whether or not Jed Lowrie cracks the Opening Day roster, keeping tabs on the younger talent has proved just as intriguing.

The A's know their top prospects will play a critical role in the team's success this year, and while they are far from answering who could slot in and when, a few young players have jumped on the team's radar early. Here are five young A's standing out so far in Cactus League action.
