We are currently in a transitional period for prospect rankings, positioned between the conclusion of the Draft and the signing deadline on July 28. Historically, updates to these lists have been postponed until all draftees are signed. However, recognizing that our rankings may be outdated ahead of the Trade Deadline on July 31, we have made adjustments to provide more current information.

This update is not a complete rerank; that will occur in August when the 2025 Draft class is included. Instead, we have refreshed each team's top 10 prospects and adjusted players who deserved significant movement within their team rankings.

Highlights from each team's update include:

The Toronto Blue Jays have seen a surge in pitching talent with Trey Yesavage leading as a standout name. The Baltimore Orioles' Esteban Mejia and Nate George debut in their top 10 due to impressive performances at lower levels.

For the Tampa Bay Rays, Carson Williams retains his top spot after an impressive turnaround at Triple-A Durham. The Boston Red Sox maintain Roman Anthony as their No. 1 prospect while introducing new international signees among their hitters.

The New York Yankees see pitchers dominate their rearranged top 10 list with significant climbs by Carlos Lagrange and Cam Schlittler into the Top 100 Prospects list.

Cleveland Guardians highlight Alfonsin Rosario's leap from No. 23 to No. 10 following improved contact rates at High-A level.

Kansas City Royals focus on backstops Blake Mitchell, Carter Jensen, and Ramon Ramirez while Kendry Chourio joins their top ranks as an international signee.

The Detroit Tigers remain reliant on their Top 100 contingent but see right-hander Troy Melton make strides with notable strikeout numbers.

Minnesota Twins celebrate Gabriel Gonzalez's rise into their top tier following improved swing decisions and consistent power hitting.

Chicago White Sox feature first-round lefties Noah Schultz and Hagen Smith among other promising arms making progress through their system.

Los Angeles Angels' Ryan Johnson has moved significantly after transitioning roles within professional baseball leagues.

Houston Astros note late-round picks Joseph Sullivan and Bryce Mayer making noteworthy advancements through Double-A levels based on strong performances post-draft selection last year.

Oakland Athletics experience dramatic shifts further down their list highlighted by Wei-En Lin’s advancement due to impressive stats across Single-A to High-A levels since signing last June (2024).

Seattle Mariners continue leading with eight players listed among MLB’s Top-100 despite internal reshuffling prompted by Ryan Sloan’s outstanding rookie season achievements this year alone so far!
