  70,Mike Sirota,1167,32,14,43.8,701527,1,"The Good: You would find it difficult to find more than a handful of prospects with as patience of an approach as Sirota. He rarely expands the zone with 2 strikes and has a knack for barrelling the ball. He is also a plus runner and should slot nicely into a COF spot. The Bad: He lets far too many breaking balls fall in the zone and he has struggled with whiffs against off-speed offerings. Also, his 2025 has been cut short by a major knee injury.",You would find it difficult to find more than a handful of prospects with as patience of an approach as Sirota.

  71,Lazaro Montes,1208,19,9,47.4,703155,1,The Good: Montes exudes effortless power from his massive frame. Lightning quick hand and an upwards swing path line him up for incredible slugging potential. The Bad: The classic issues of a massive slugger; awful contact rates which worsen following promotion. His future also seems to be at DH given his poor route running.,Montes exudes effortless power from his massive frame.

He also wields plus bat speed and swing built for lifting the ball. The Bad: Some of the worst contact metrics in AAA.

  86,Harry Ford,1120,28,8,28.6,695670,1,The Good: Marvelous combination of patience and aggression make Ford a nuisance for opposing pitchers to face. He supports his stingy approach with smart baserunning and stable defense behind the plate. The Bad: His feel to hit leaves room for improvement and his he will likely return below average slugging numbers given his below average bat speed.,Marvelous combination of patience and aggression make Ford a nuisance for opposing pitchers to face.

+ 89,Joe Mack,1031,18,1,5.6,691788,,"The Good: Mack is one of the best defensive catchers in MiLB thanks to his sharp framing ability and plus arm. He also possesses plus power with a swing geared toward pulled fly balls. The Bad: Mack's hit tool is easily his weakest tool and will likely lead to plenty of strikeouts in the Majors.

+ 91,Winston Santos,1088,32,7,21.9,692437,4,The Good: A trio of average to plus offerings and plus command give Santos the floor be an effective backend starter. A bump in velocity this Spring elevated his fastball to a plus offering. The Bad: The lack of an elite offering caps his upside to a mid-rotation starter and a back injury has essentially wiped his entire 2025 season.,A trio of average to plus offerings and plus command give Santos the floor be an effective backend starter.

+ 92,Didier Fuentes,1004,25,2,8,800311,1,The Good: Fuentes carried his fastball to a MLB at just 20 years old. Its high riding nature and mid-90s velocity push it to plus status and he supplements it with solid command. The Bad: His breaking balls are simply average and his splitter is a big work in progress. More time in MiLB is likely required to refine his arsenal before he gets an extended look in the Majors.,Fuentes carried his fastball to a MLB at just 20 years old.

More time in MiLB is likely required to refine his arsenal before he gets an extended look in the Majors.,Fuentes was an honourable mention in August and his performance in AAA has warranted a spot on the list. The fastball is the key pitch here with its flat approach and mid 90s velocity. Polishing up the secondaries is the next step for the 20-year-old.

He also started to showcase developments with his breaking balls prior to injury. The Bad: An absolutely dreadful start to his career marred by diminished velocity and putrid command tanked his prospect stock. He has also voluntarily avoided elbow surgery, which adds another layer of risk to his profile.",An outlier splitter and high 90s heat made Sasaki the talk of town this past winter.

+ 99,Kemp Alderman,,,,,694580,,"The Good: Alderman wields the fastest bat in the minors. With bat speeds sitting in the 99th percentile, he has no lack of raw power and his exit velocities speak for themselves. He has also trimmed his swing and miss this season while maintaining an aggressive approach. The Bad: He hits far too many ground balls which caps his game power upside. Any inkling that he can start to lift more balls would make him a very dangerous slugger if he can keep his contact rates in check.","Alderman wields the fastest bat in the minors.

He is one of the few batters in MiLB that can say they have 80 grade raw power, and Alderman has slashed his K% and Whiff% to more often tap into it.

His power upside is tantalizing given his projectible frame, eye popping EVs, and ability to lift the ball. He has washed away concerns regarding his hit tool and is also exhibiting solid swing decisions. The Bad: The risk is always high with 17-year-old prospects. Sanchez also boasts below average speed and questions about his future defensive home.","Already touted as one of the Blue Jays best IFA signings since Vlad, Sanchez is ticking off all the boxes in the DSL.
