These "power rankings" are a fun way to track prospects throughout the year. They are not "official" prospect rankings that are completed at the end of the year after a full evaluations. To be eligible for the list, a player must play at least one game on an active roster (Except for the first list which will give assumed starting teams). Players starting off in extended spring training or in the DSL are not eligible until they play a game in June. (Updated as of Jun 10th)

Just to keep track.

Updated through Jun 17th.

Two new guys into the top 30 as Aron Estrada and Billy Cook make their way. Some of the Latin guys who are not hitting are getting dropped and even some top ten guys moved around. 

New guys on the Players to watch scene as well.

What does Max Wagner have on you?

Well he's almost off the list! He's been injured some and I still can't believe he's this bad. But at some point he's got to produce and he's not. I really thought about dropping him this week off the top 30, but decided to give him another week to do something.

I'm very interested to learn more about Delmarva's 19-year-old ss Leandro Arias.  The young man has an .870 OPS (.267/.379/.491) in 140 PA's thus far this season.  Pretty impressive.  I see he's a switch-hitter and is listed at 6'1-155.  Another note is he was born on 2/5/05 in Santiago, DR.  

Any further info/scouting on him would be appreciated.

He was our #19 prospect coming into this season. Here's his scouting report from last year.

Any chance Heid helps the team this year? Results are good.

Stuff is a bit middling and he's 26 at AAA. He probably needs a promotion to AAA because he's certainly dominating AA hitters. I'd like to see his statcast numbers so hopefully he'll get a promotion soon.

This seems like a pretty bogus report.

What does he mean? As major leaguers? For this season? I have a hard time believing these are the only four guys that project out to 20/20 in the major leagues in the entire minor leagues. Is he talking in the FCL?

Reading through the thread, it appears that is what he is saying. Only 4 in the minors using his model.

As a reference point, 17 MLB players did it in 2023.(31 stole 20 or more bases)

How do you model a 19-year old in the FCL? Just seems weird. I mean he's having a nice season and the stats are good, but I don't know how much you can model off FCL stats. I wonder if he has statcast info? Seems more and more people are getting people to give it to them. They really need to make it public.

Horvath, Wagner, and Fabian, are the biggest disappointments so far for me.  I was really hoping that tier of prospects would have a strong first half showing and make themselves valuable trade chips for this trade deadline.  Oh well, the book is still open on them.
