He is the best pure hitter in MiLB thanks to his incredible eye and ability to consistently impact all pitch types. He worked his way to AA and posted an exceptional .991 OPS in 88 Games while knocking in 19 HR while walking more than he struck out. He has a swing perfectly catered for loft and his smaller stature and compact levers allow him to get ahead of the ball and deposit it to the pull side. He has posted a 105.1 MPH 90th% EV and 46.7 HardHit% while maintaining a stellar 81.9 Contact%, all marks well above average for a 21 year old in AA. He won't be slouch on the base paths and he projects to be a solid defender, even if his future is more likely at 2B rather than SS.

 2,Konnor Griffin,1585,44,41,93.2,804606,1,"Konnor Griffin could not have drawn up a better pro debut. The #1 prep selection from the 2024 draft recorded a .942 OPS and stormed his way to AA while flashing his elite power and speed tools with 21 HR and 65 SB. His 107.9 90th% EV stood head and shoulder above his peers and there is still some room to fill out his 6'4"" frame. The biggest knock against Griffin at draft was his longer swing action that posed potential contact and spray issues. Fortunately, he cleaned up his approach and opted for a more closed stance and compact swing which has greatly simplified his mechanics. He had no issues maintaining solid contact rates following each promotion and he was extremely stubborn at two strikes. The hit tool isn't flawless though; Griffin struggled against breaking balls both in terms of whiffs and chase. His defensive capabilities raise his already exciting profile to extreme heights. He looked comfortable at both SS and CF and projects to be a dynamic defender up the middle.

On the defenseive side of things he projects to be a strong defender on the left side of the infield with the arm strength if a move to 3B is required. He is also an above average runner, racking up 47 SB this season. Overall, Made has all the tools to be the #1 prospect in baseball.

+6,Samuel Basallo,1473,52,41,78.8,694212,1,"Samuel Basallo wields the most explosive bat amongst all prospects, clocking in elite bat speeds and exit velocities north of 116 MPH. His power upside given his age is bewildering and he supplements it with enough bat-to-ball skills to punish pitches in any location. This both a feature and a bug of Basallo�s approach as he will swing at pitches far outside the strike zone too often. Not only that, but he also tends to be more passive in-zone compared to his other chase-happy peers. However, when Basallo connects it is always astonishing. He can seemingly barrel up pitches that have no business even being swung at and his swing is perfectly designed to launch baseballs into orbit. He will likely need to trim the chase rate down to ensure he can remain a freighting force for opposing pitchers. Although he has remained a catcher throughout his pro career, he lacks the refined blocking and framing skills to stick behind the plate long-term. Without a significant improvement in either skill (or the departure of Adley Rutschman), he will likely be Baltimore�s long-time 1B.","The Good: Basallo is the best power hitter in MiLB and has been for quite some time.

 7,Nolan McLean,1356,47,33,70.2,690997,1,"Nolan McLean's development has been rather unprecedented. He was drafted as a two-way player out of Oklahoma State and did not start pitching full-time until mid-2024. Not even a year later he finds himself in AAA and knocking at the door of the majors. His ability to spin the ball is otherworldly as he can eclipse 3000 RPM on his breaking balls and generate a ton of movement at higher velocities. McLean's signature pitch is his mid 80s sweeper that can each up to 20"" of glove-side movement. It is one of the few potential 80 grade offerings in MiLB. McLean wields a pair of fastballs, a sinker and a 4-Seamer, that each sit in the mid 90s. His sinker is his primary offering against RHH where its immense arm-side movement and slight deviation from his arm slot plays well on the inner third. He swaps his sinker for a 4-Seamer against LHH where its extremely flat approach fools batters high in the zone. McLean also tosses a gyro cutter/slider that lives in the high 80s. It's slight cutting action makes it effective damage mitigating offering against RHH. He rounds out his incredibly deep arsenal with a mid 80s changeup that generates above average depth with negative iVB. He is exhibiting improved command this season and doing a formidable job at getting ahead of batters early.

His trade from the Padres was a shock to the baseball world as he was considered a consensus Top 10 Prospect in baseball and was ranked as highly as top 5. After a strong showing in Hi-A where LDV continued to showcase his advanced approach and budding power, he wrapped up the season in Midland where he ended on a rampage with all 5 of his home runs coming in his final 8 games. On the season he posted a .806 OPS while cutting down his K% from 2024 and being more aggressive in the zone. His raw power did not progress as expected with his exit velocities remaining consistent with his first pro season. While this puts a damper on his power projection, he continued to keep the ball in the air where he used his shorter levers to get ahead of the ball and deposit it to the pull side. His leap to the upper minors was exciting to witness, but it did not come without growing pains. The power he flashed from both side of the plates waned as he struggled to hit LHP, ending the season with a .659 OPS as a RHH.

He possesses a well-rounded approach at the dish with an encouraging blend of patience and aggressiveness, which is further boosted up by his plus contact rates. Emerson�s slugging upside hinges on his plus bat speed translating to more in-game power.

This success comes after an outstanding showing in the AFL during 2024 where he looked more athletic and agile without sacrificing power. He brings everything you want out of a batter: explosive bat speed, outstanding barrel control, and an advanced eye; all without the strikeout rates that typical plague even the best of sluggers. His production dipped following his promotion to Erie (AA), however he righted the ship in the final weeks which were reminiscent of his dominant showing with West Michigan (Hi-A). On the defensive end, Briceno suited up behind the plate in nearly half his outings where he displayed average catching skills with the lone exception being below average framing.

His 104.4 MPH 90th% EV aligned him amongst some of the best at the level and looks more impressive given both his size and age. Despite this, his flatter bat path greatly limits his slugging potential. His hit tool is advanced and projects to be plus-plus despite a major roadblock upon reaching Hi-A, especially against breaking balls. The biggest hole in his profile remains his lacklustre approach, which sits well below average thanks to an imbalance of chases and in-zone aggression. The Brewers positioned him all around the IF this season, however he will likely end up at 2B given his poor arm strength.

Now in full-season ball at just 18, he remains an overwhelming presence at the plate both in stature and production. Standing 6'4"" with room to grow, he wields a steep upper-cut swing geared for pulled fly balls. His raw power consistently translates into results, as shown by his 16 home runs in his first taste stateside. While swings like his can raise swing-and-miss concerns, he has maintained excellent contact rates, particularly in-zone. His ability to recognize and lay off pitches out of the zone, especially secondary offerings, is encouraging and positions him for a rapid ascent through the minors. However, his lack of in-zone aggressiveness makes him susceptible to called strikes. This patient approach should buoy his walk rate, though he will likely see strikeout rates rise against more advanced pitching. Limited speed may force him off center field, and struggles against LHP further cap his future value.

He carried that momentum into a 20-game stint in the FCL, posting a 237 wRC+ while walking more than he struck out before the Cardinals promoted him to Low-A. Using his short levers and quick hands, he consistently turns on pitches and drives them to the pull side. This combined with his tendency to lift the ball has produced 20 home runs this season. He can punish pitches of all types, and has posted exceptional barrel rates and exit velocities for his age. Contact and walk rates have dipped since his promotion, but both remain near league average with a sub-20% strikeout rate.

Tolle does an excellent job utilizing his large 6'5"" frame to get down the mound which generates nearly 7.5' of extension. This large stride pairs well with his low 3/4 release to create a distinct look with a deceptively low release point. Tolle's fastball has garnered the most benefit from his release as its 93-95 MPH velocity looks like upper 90s heat. Additionally, its ~16"" iVB from his 5.7 ft release point leads to a flatter approach on his fastball as it whizzes through the zone. It is running a nearly 50% Whiff this season and Tolle does a strong job at locating it in the zone and getting ahead of batters early. Tolle has started throwing a sinker which hovers around 90 MPH and functions more like an offspeed pitch due to its movement differential from his fastball. Tolle's lone breaking ball is a mid 80s slider with 2-plane action with slight glove-side movement and ride. He rounds out his arsenal with an unpolished changeup that sits 86-88 MPH. It has returned underwhelming results thus far, but he has exhibited a good feel for the offering despite its low usage.

His combination of athleticism, size, and power makes him one of the most exciting young SS in baseball and the Rangers have no issues thrusting him into tougher competition. On top of all that, he has excelled while cleaning up his worrisome strikeout rates and refining his approach. There is no doubt that Walcott wield plus-plus raw power, however there is a fatal flaw with his swing that may prevent him to translate it into game action: it is incredibly flat. With a 46.0 GB% and a 35.4 IFFB%, Walcott fails to consistently barrel up the ball and let his improved contact rates return bountiful results. He has all the tools to be one of the most dynamic players in baseball, but until he revamps his swing, his upside is capped.","The Good: Sebastian Walcott forced himself to AA at just 19 years old thanks to his jaw-dropping bat speed and plus sprint speed.

Similar to fellow draft classmate Konnor Griffin, Rainer was head and shoulders above his peers in terms of power output and athleticism. He looked like a natural at SS and his 108.0 90th% EV easily explained how he maintained a HardHit% above 50%. His swing decisions were also exceptional, running a O-Swing% near 20% and patiently battled back into at bats when sitting on 2 strikes. It wasn�t all smooth for Rainer though as he struggled with in-zone miss, particularly against secondaries. He also hit far too many ground balls, with nearly half his batted balls landing in the infield. It will be telling to see how Rainer bounces back from shoulder surgery as it is notorious for sapping power. If he doesn�t miss a beat, expect him to propel himself up prospect lists and join his fellow Detroit teammates.",The Good: Rainer was on a similar trajectory as Konnor Griffin before a nasty shoulder injury cut his pro-debut short. Elite power metrics paired with an advanced eye made him a force to be reckoned with and he had no issues catching up to fastballs.

With plus-plus bat speed and an upward swing path which oozes staggering home run potential, Hope has the virtue of one of the highest power ceilings of any prospect in baseball. Supporting his quick hands is his astounding ability to identify secondaries and both lay off and punish them when appropriate. His 109.2 90th% EV ranks amongst the best of his peers, including some of the more well-established sluggers in the majors. Akin to those very same sluggers, Hope struggle mightily with swing and miss, particularly against both in-zone and off-speed pitches. These issues only worsened throughout the season despite being more familiar with opposing pitchers in Hi-A. Hope�s plus speed and blistering arm strength should play very well in the outfield with his less-than-ideal route efficiency likely forcing him to the corners. Overall. Hope is an extremely tooled up slugger with alarming hit tool concerns that are partially quelled by his sharp eye.","The Good: Hope's smaller frame packs an incredible punch.
