These prospect rankings are based on FANTASY value, not on real life value. Proximity to the majors is also prominent in the equation, though these rankings are taking a longer-term / dynasty look on these guys (think of it more as a 3-5 year plan). Rather than getting into writing little bios on all of these hitters, I’ve decided to keep my rankings simple by providing the most recent year’s stats of each player across all levels, a player comp, a small blub on the player’s prime skills for fantasy including my tool grades / pitching arsenals and an explanation of my ranking that may include trending data.

NOTE: Rookie status is determined by 130 ABs, or 50 IPs at the Major League level.

Please purchase the Prospect Package here for all my rankings with cheat sheets perfect for drafts for only $29.99!
