2025 MLB Top 50 Prospect Rankings

Nearly two months into the 2025 MLB season, the minor league prospect landscape is shifting fast. Several top prospects from the preseason rankings have already graduated to the majors, creating room for a fresh crop of rising stars. With trade season heating up and teams eyeing upgrades, it’s the perfect time to reassess the top talent across baseball's farm systems.

This updated list reflects recent performances, updated scouting projections, and proximity to the majors. Players who have exceeded rookie limits (130 at-bats, 50 IP, or 45 days on the active roster) have been removed, and prospects on the verge of graduation within the next week are excluded.

2025 MLB Top 50 Prospects

1. Roman Anthony, OF, Red Sox
Massive raw power and advanced approach; could be Boston-bound soon.
2. Bubba Chandler, RHP, Pirates
Electric fastball and four-pitch mix with frontline upside.
3. Leodalis De Vries, SS, Padres
Switch-hitter with 25+ HR upside and strong defensive skills.
4. Sebastian Walcott, SS, Rangers
Huge power potential with improving defense at shortstop.
5. Jesus Made, SS, Brewers
Draws early Ozzie Albies comps with advanced metrics at just 18.
6. Marcelo Mayer, SS, Red Sox
Top-10 draft pedigree; smooth bat and approach from the left side.
7. Jordan Lawlar, SS, Diamondbacks
Big-league experience; superior speed and defense.
8. Max Clark, OF, Tigers
Plus-plus runner with center field instincts and solid offensive game.
9. Walker Jenkins, OF, Twins
Advanced hit tool and power when healthy; three-position OF potential.
10. Colt Emerson, SS, Mariners
Lefty bat with above-average tools and feel for the barrel.
11. Kevin McGonigle, SS, Tigers
Contact machine with above-average power; likely future 2B.
12. Chase Burns, RHP, Reds
Upper-90s fastball and elite slider; near MLB-ready.
13. Samuel Basallo, C, Orioles
Huge power potential; still refining plate discipline.
14. Dalton Rushing, C, Dodgers
Recently debuted; high OBP bat with solid defense.
15. Travis Bazzana, 2B, Guardians
Oblique injury aside, he’s an on-base machine with speed and pop.
16. Aidan Miller, SS, Phillies
Corner-infield future with strong bat speed and raw power.
17. Josue De Paula, LF, Dodgers
Yordan Alvarez-lite comp; excellent hit/power combo.

High Upside with Fewer Certainties

18. Jac Caglianone, 1B, Royals
19. Konnor Griffin, SS, Pirates
20. Jett Williams, SS, Mets
21. Zyhir Hope, OF, Dodgers
22. Bryce Rainer, SS, Tigers
23. Andrew Painter, RHP, Phillies
24. Nick Kurtz, 1B, Athletics
25. Ethan Salas, C, Padres
26. Chase Dollander, RHP, Rockies
27. Carson Williams, SS, Rays
28. Noah Schultz, LHP, White Sox
29. Arjun Nimmala, SS, Blue Jays

32. J.J. Wetherholt, SS, Cardinals
33. Kyle Teel, C, White Sox
34. George Lombard Jr., SS, Yankees
35. Thomas White, LHP, Marlins

Fast risers like Griffin, Rainer, and Kurtz are trending upward, while Misiorowski is finally finding control at Triple-A.

Strong Prospects with Questions to Answer

36. Moises Ballesteros, C, Cubs
37. Emmanuel Rodriguez, OF, Twins
38. Matt Shaw, 3B, Cubs
39. Luke Keaschall, 2B, Twins
40. Angel Genao, SS, Guardians

47. Agustin Ramirez, C, Marlins
48. Rhett Lowder, RHP, Reds
49. Chase Petty, RHP, Reds
50. Jonah Tong, RHP, Mets

Horton, Ramirez, and Keaschall have impressed more than expected. Tong has separated from other Mets arms as a potential breakout.

Jarlin Susana, Hagen Smith, Cooper Pratt, Alex Freeland
Andrew Salas, Luke Dickerson, Slade Caldwell, Caleb Bonemer
