2025 Top 100 Prospects

 

 

 

Below are the Top 100 Prospects in the game. There isn’t a consensus name this year as there has been in the past.  However, the floor and upside of Dylan Crews, Jasson Dominguez and Roki Sasaki are impressive and the fact that all of them will see significant time in the Majors, pushed them to the top.  Boston has two players in the Top 10 and even after the trade for Garrett Crochet, they are still extremely strong.

1. Dylan Crews (OF, Was) – He has an advanced approach at the plate with high-end exit velocities.

2. Jasson Dominguez (OF, NYY) – He has 20-20 upside and has improved his contact skills as he has matured.

3. Roki Sasaki (RHP, FA) – He has the size, arsenal, and pitchability to be an ace.

4. Max Clark (OF, Det) – Extremely athletic with plus speed and plenty of bat speed to project future power.

5. Roman Anthony (OF, Bos) – He’s athletic with a beautiful lefty swing that is short to the ball. He’s not very physical but has surprising pop.

6. Walker Jenkins (OF, Min) – Athletic with a lefty swing built for 30+ home run future pop.

7. Kristian Campbell (OF, Bos) – He blew up this season, showing more power and the ability to control the strike zone.

8. Sam Basallo (1B, Bal) – An athletic catcher/first baseman with a feel to hit and potential future plus power.

9. Kumar Rocker (RHP, Tex) – He’s back pitching and touching the upper 90s with his fastball with excellent control.

10. Jackson Jobe (RHP, Det) – He has #1 stuff, and if he continues to throw strikes, he could be an ace.

11. Colt Emerson (2B, Sea) – He’s a high-floor player with the tools to be a .300 hitter and 15 to 20 future home run power. Speed will not be a big part of his game.

12. Matt Shaw (SS, CHC) – He has solid all-around tools with 15-15 type of upside, maybe more as the power develops.

13. Jordan Lawlar (SS, AZ) – He spent most of the season on the IL with a thumb and hamstring injury. I still believe the upside is a 15-20 type of player.

14. Noah Schultz (LHP, CHW) – He’s tall and lanky with a big fastball and emerging secondary pitches. The delivery is a lower three-quarter with effort.

15. Coby Mayo (3B, Bal) – He is a power-hitting corner infielder who should hit .250 to .260 with 80 points more for his OBP.

16. Emmanuel Rodriguez (OF, Min) – He has 70-grade raw power, with speed early in his career. There will be strikeouts but also a ton of walks.

17. Josue De Paula (OF, LAD) – He has excellent bat speed and an impressive feel for hitting as a teenager.

18. Travis Bazzana (2B, Cle) – High-floor player with average power and speed potential.

19. Aidan Miller (3B, Phi) – He has plus future power potential but needs to work on making better contact.

21. Tink Hence (RHP, STL) – Extremely athletic with an impressive four-pitch mix.

22. JJ Wetherholt (2B, STL) – He makes elite contact with plus speed and average power.

23. Jett Williams (OF, NYM) – He’s a toolsy player walking as much as he’s striking out. Unfortunately, he missed most of the 2024 season with a wrist injury that required surgery.

24. Nick Kurtz (1B, Oak) – He has an elite understanding of the strike zone and 25+ home run power but is limited defensively.

25. Cole Young (SS, Sea) – He’s demonstrating a plus hit tool with speed and solid power potential.

26. Bubba Chandler (RHP, Pit) – There is a top-of-the-rotation starter brewing.

27. Harry Ford (C, Sea) – The power did not carry forward to Double-A as the exit velo is more average. He continues to steal bases at a high clip.

28. Marcelo Mayer (SS, Bos) – I still like the swing and power potential, but it needs to start showing up in the stat line at some point.

29. Sebastian Walcott (SS, Tex) – He has tremendous bat speed and the potential to hit for significant home run power. However, there will likely always be a lot of strikeouts.

30. Cam Collier (3B, Cin) – The power is starting to play, and when you combine that with his feel to hit, there is an impact when playing lurking.

31. Leodalis De Vries (SS, SD) – While he’s only 17, De Vries has star potential with plus power and a natural feel to hit.

32. Moises Ballesteros (C, CHC) – He’s a natural hitter with excellent exit velocities that point to 20 home run pop.

33. Carson Williams (SS, TB) – Exciting fantasy tools, but strikeouts are still a problem.

34. Dalton Rushing (C, LAD) – He has above-average power and high on-base skills. He’s also improved his contact skills.

35. Justin Crawford (OF, Phi) – He has the athleticism to make him an impact player. He does need to get stronger, and given his age, there’s a strong possibility that he will.

36. Charlie Condon (OF, Col) – Long and lean with 30+ home run pop. There are some concerns about how much contact he will make.

37. Tyler Black (1B, Mil) – He can hit with plus speed and average power. He has moved full-time to first base.

38. Braden Montgomery (OF, CHW) – He has 70-grade power with some swing-and-miss risk in his game.

39. Chase Dollander (RHP, Col) – His fastball is back up to 98 MPH, and his slider appears, once again, to be a serious weapon.

40. Cade Horton (RHP, CHC) – He has three plus pitches with the athleticism to throw consistent strikes. He did miss the last four months of the season with a shoulder injury.

41. Thomas White (LHP, Mia) – He has impressive stuff with improved control.

42. Kyle Teel (C, CHW) – He has a plus hit tool with average power.

43. Caden Dana (RHP, LAA) – Improved secondary pitches point to a mid-rotation starter, if not more.

44. Zac Veen (OF, Col) – He’s a toolsy outfielder with a feel for hitting. However, his history of injuries has become disconcerting.

45. Michael Arroyo (OF, Sea) – He’s showing an excellent feel for hitting with an advanced approach and enough bat speed to project future above-average power.

46. Zebby Matthews (RHP, Min) – Strike thrower whose velocity and secondary pitches have improved in 2024.

47. Brandon Sproat (RHP, NYM) – He has a big fastball and is throwing more strikes.

48. Kevin McGonigle (2B, Det) – High-floor player who should hit with a bit of power and speed.

49. Jacob Melton (OF, Hou) – Toolsy outfielder who continues to show improved contact skills. If he can shorten up his swing, there is All-Star upside.

50. Sal Stewart (3B, Cin) – He’s a high-floor player who can really hit and should develop 20-home run pop.

51. Rhett Lowder (RHP, Cin) – He has a nice arsenal with a great change-up, but the delivery needs work.

52. Chase DeLauter (OF, Cle) – High-floor player with average power and speed potential.

53. Jac Caglianone (1B, KC) – Huge raw power with a chance to hit for 30+ home run pop. He has length and chase in his swing, so strikeouts could be a problem.

54. Noble Meyer (RHP, Mia) – Young and athletic with some physical projection remaining. Control has been an issue.

55. Bryce Eldridge (1B, SF) – His carrying tool is his 70-grade raw power. However, at 6 feet 7 inches, there are concerns about how much contact he will make.

56. Jacob Misiorowski (RHP, Mil) – He is tall and thin, with two 70-grade pitches in his fastball and slider. He needs to develop a third pitch and work on repeating his delivery.

57. Enrique Bradfield (OF, Bal) – He makes excellent contact with 80-grade speed and exceptional defense. He doesn’t have much over-the-fence power.

58. Termarr Johnson (SS, Pit) – He’s a solid prospect with 10 to 15 home run pop who should hit if he gets more aggressive at the plate.

59. Felnin Celesten (SS, Sea) – He showed a feel for hitting with plus speed and more power than first advertised.

60. Jaison Chourio (OF, Cle) – He’s a switch hitter with an excellent understanding of the strike zone. He’s also a plus runner. He needs to add power.

61. Jeferson Quero (C, Mil) – A smallish catcher with a feel to hit with pop. He missed the entire season after shoulder surgery.

62. Ethan Salas (C, SD) – He was overmatched offensively, and his contact quality indicates that he needs to get stronger.

63. Adael Amador (SS, Col) – He’s a high-floor player who makes excellent contact.

64. Luke Keaschall (2B, Min) – Excellent contact skills with plus speed and average power.

65. Orelvis Martinez (3B, Tor) – He has 70-grade power with improved swing decisions. Unfortunately, he got hit with an 80-game PED suspension.

66. Jace Jung (2B, Det) – He has developed a highly leveraged swing that produces more over-the-fence power but at the expense of some swing-and-miss.

67. Chase Burns (RHP, Cin) – He has a big fastball and an 80-grade slider. The change-up needs work, and his delivery requires effort.

68. Drew Gilbert (OF, NYM) – He has a high floor as a solid Major League regular but lacks the tools to be a stat-stuffing fantasy player.

69. Justin Foscue (2B, Tex) – He can flat-out him with 15 to 20 home run pop and 8 to 10 stolen base potential.

70. Kevin Alcantara (OF, CHC) – He has elite tools, but there will be pressure on his batting average.

71. Colson Montgomery (SS, CHW) – He had a down season in Triple-A with more strikeouts than he showed in the lower levels of the minor leagues. He might not have been ready for an entire season of Triple-A.

72. Hagen Smith (LHP, CHW) – He has an extreme cross-body delivery and a plus arsenal. He could develop into a number two starter if he can throw enough strikes.

73. Edgar Quero (C, CHW) – He should be able to hit with solid OBP skills and 12 to 15 home run pop.

74. Agustin Ramirez (C, Mia) – He makes excellent contact with plus power.

75. Zyhir Hope (OF, LAD) – He’s highly athletic with emerging power and a growing understanding of the strike zone.

76. Bryce Rainer (SS, Det) – He has plus raw power and a feel to hit. There is current speed that will not be a big part of the profile in the future.

77. AJ Smith-Shawver (RHP, ATL) – He has a solid arsenal, and with better control, he should be able to pitch as a number three starter, if not more.

78. Xavier Isaac (1B, TB) – He’s showing power and speed, but he’s still a work in progress with a strikeout rate that has become problematic.

79. Blake Mitchell (C, KC) – He has excellent bat speed but expands the strike zone too much. He’s athletic and should provide stolen bases early in his career.

80. Edwin Arroyo (SS, Cin) – He missed the entire season when he had Labrum surgery.

81. Brady House (SS, Was) – He has excellent bat speed and projects to hit 20+ home runs. Unfortunately, he continues to be overly aggressive at the plate, and if he doesn’t address it, it could limit his playing time and, ultimately, his ceiling.

82. Ricky Tiedemann (LHP, Tor) – He has the size and arsenal to pitch at the top of the rotation. However, health has been a problem, and after rest and rehab, he had TJS in July.

83. Franklin Arias (SS, Bos) – He’s a high-floor player with a 15-15 type of upside.

84. River Ryan (RHP, LAD) – He has an extensive arsenal with a plus fastball, and enough control to pitch at the top of the rotation. He looked great in his four MLB starts before blowing out his elbow. He’ll likely miss the entire 2025 season.

85. Owen Caissie (OF, CHC) – He has 70-grade raw power but with plenty of strikeouts.

86. Carson Whisenhunt (LHP, SF) – He has a plus arsenal but needs to improve his strike-throwing to hit his ceiling.

87. Spencer Jones (OF, NYY) – His game has speed, power, and the potential for significant swing-and-miss.

88. Brayden Taylor (3B, TB) – He has all-around skills with a beautiful lefty stroke that should produce 20+ future home run pop. He has struck out more than I initially thought.

89. Travis Sykora (RHP, Was) – He has the size and arsenal to pitch at the top of the rotation.

90. Yophery Rodriguez (OF, Mil) – He is a toolsy outfielder with a feel for the strike zone. The Brewers have been aggressive with him, much like they were with Jackson Chourio.

91. Konnor Griffin (OF, Pit) – He’s tooled up with concerns about how much he will hit.

92. Luisangel Acuna (2B, NYM) – He’s a plus runner with a feel to hit. He’ll unlikely hit for a ton of power, but there is enough bat speed to project some.

93. Justin Wrobleski (RHP, LAD) – Athletic pitcher with a potential plus arsenal.

94. Ronny Mauricio (SS, NYM) – There is 20-20 potential, but it will come with a .300ish OBP.

95. Jacob Wilson (SS, Oak) – He makes extreme contact with modest speed and power.

96. Jaden Hamm (RHP, Det) – A potential plus arsenal who throws strikes. It looks like the recipe for a top-of-the-rotation starter.

97. Aiden Smith (OF, TB) – Toolsy outfielder with concerns about how much contact he will make.

98. Cole Carrigg (C, Col) – He had a great season, showing plus speed, great defense, and a bit more power than anticipated.

99. Josue Briceno (C, Det) – He hits the ball extremely hard with a feel to hit.

100. Gavin Cross (OF, KC) – He finally started to control the strike zone better in 2024. There still is a 20-20 player lurking.
