Top Prospects Across MLB Ranked

Baseball is finally back as yesterday the Dodgers and Padres faced off in the first Spring Training matchup of the year. The Dodgers absolutely exploded out of the gates with 8 runs on 1 out in the first inning, sending Joe Musgrove home early. It should be a fun regular season to be a Dodgers fan, huh?

There are a few games today, but every MLB team will have a Spring Training game on Saturday and Sunday. Congratulations, you made it. 🫡 

Over the last week, we ranked each division’s best prospects across both leagues. If you missed it, check out the AL & NL breakdowns so you’re ready for the season. I received a lot of requests to break this down at a higher level, eliminate divisions, and sort it by league, so today we’ll do just that with the top 5 in each league. You might notice that some players weren’t in the last few editions, that’s simply a testament to the farm system these organizations like the Orioles and Rangers have built. Reply to this email with your thoughts about the rankings and if I missed anyone. Now let’s slide in…

I can’t get enough of this view of a tater. The slo-mo in this one is the icing on top. On second thought I’m not sure taters and icing go together, but you know what I mean. Either way, MLB needs to figure out how to get me this view in-game ASAP.

Thank you Jason for sending this one in via Twitter DM.
