| 5 | Marco Luciano | SF | SS | 19 | A | R | R | 6′ 2” | 178 | N/A | Racked up 25 XBH in 179 AB as a minor in rookie ball and A-. Showed excellent plate recognition skills. Power will grow as he matures physically. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 6 | Spencer Torkleson | DET | 3B | 20 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 1” | 220 | N/A | Huge power with a solid (above-average) hit tool. Probably not a third baseman but I don’t care. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 7 | Andrew Vaughn | CHW | 1B | 22 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 0” | 214 | N/A | Last year’s lack of power seems to have scared some people off. He’s still a hit/power machine. | Twitter Twitter | ||||||||||
| 8 | CJ Abrams | SD | SS | 20 | A | L | R | 6′ 2” | 185 | N/A | The speedster has shown more pop than initial grades. He’s an absolute burner and larger than expected. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 9 | Jasson Dominguez | NYY | OF | 17 | RK | S | R | 5′ 10” | 190 | N/A | Going to need to see more than BP videos to move a 17 year old into the top five. Everything looks great though. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 10 | Kristian Robinson | ARI | OF | 19 | A | R | R | 6′ 3” | 190 | N/A | Hopefully he can keep the strikeouts in check enough to showcase his sexy power/speed combo. Not as big as I was expecting from reading scouting reports. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 11 | Adley Rutschman | BAL | C | 21 | A | S | R | 6′ 2” | 216 | N/A | Plus hit and power. Best catching prospect in many years but not “best prospect since Bryce Harper” good. | YouTube Twitter | ||||||||||

| 13 | Alex Kirilloff | MIN | 1B | 23 | MLB | L | L | 6′ 2” | 195 | N/A | Potential plus hit and power tools haven’t shown up in the box score. May have shot up boards if the 2020 MiLB season wasn’t canceled. Probably heads back to the minors to begin 2021. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 14 | Bobby Witt Jr. | KC | SS | 20 | RK | R | R | 6′ 1” | 190 | N/A | Five tool guy that still has a long way to go before he reaches his offensive ceiling. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 15 | Jeter Downs | BOS | SS | 22 | AA | R | R | 5′ 11” | 180 | N/A | Kicked in the door at AA in 2019. Probably going to get add weight and stop running but his power and hit tools are still solid. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 16 | Casey Mize | DET | P | 23 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 3” | 220 | H ¾ | Four potential plus pitches but a history of injuries. MLB debut wasn’t fantastic but I’m not worried considering he had never pitched above AA. Probably goes back to the minors to finish developing. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 17 | Nate Pearson | TOR | P | 24 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 6” | 245 | H ¾ | Has never pitched more than 101.2 innings. Several 70-80 grades on his fastball. Electric arsenal. Questionable command and health. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 18 | Riley Greene | DET | OF | 20 | A | L | L | 6′ 3” | 200 | N/A | Solid contact and power. Struck out a lot for a plus contact guy but was only 18. | YouTube Twitter | ||||||||||

| 21 | Noelvi Marte | SEA | SS | 19 | RK | R | R | 6′ 1” | 181 | N/A | Prospect world is all over the place on this one. I’ve seen everything from 80 grade speed to an Adrian Beltre comp. I think he gets bigger and loses his wheels. Still a solid piece without them. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 22 | Luis Matos | SF | OF | 18 | RK | R | R | 5′ 11” | 160 | N/A | Not sure why everyone is all over Marte but not Matos. Showed off his speed, contact, and power in the lower levels last year. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 23 | Spencer Howard | PHI | P | 24 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 2” | 205 | H ¾ | Dominant 2019. Struggled in brief big league debut but skipped AAA. Big fastball. Average secondaries. Has never topped 116 IP. Will probably head down to AAA for more seasoning. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 24 | Luis Patino | SD | P | 21 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 0” | 192 | H ¾ | Short. Explosive fastball. Fantastic slider. Changeup was better than expected in his brief MLB debut. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 25 | Austin Martin | TOR | 3B | 21 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 0” | 185 | N/A | He’ll be a solid fantasy asset regardless of which defensive position he ends up playing. Many think he has the best bat in the draft class. May have at least above-average tools across the board. Dominated stiff competition in the SEC. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 26 | Zac Veen | COL | OF | 18 | FYPD | L | R | 6′ 4” | 190 | N/A | Best prep bat on the board. Could develop plus hit and power tools but isn’t as proven as the two college bats ranked above him. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 27 | Emerson Hancock | SEA | SP | 21 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 4” | 213 | ¾ | Four above-average+ pitches. Was in the 1.01 discussion at peak hype. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 28 | Asa Lacy | KC | SP | 21 | FYPD | L | L | 6′ 4” | 215 | H ¾ | Another guy with four quality pitches. I trust Hancock’s strike throwing ability but Lacy is the top consensus arm in the draft. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 29 | Triston Casas | BOS | 1B | 20 | A+ | L | R | 6′ 4” | 238 | N/A | Love the power. Not buying that he’s ever more than a average contact guy despite reports. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 30 | Aaron Bracho | CLE | 2B | 19 | A- | S | R | 5′ 11” | 175 | N/A | This guy might have the two prettiest swings in the low minors. Excellent from both sides of the plate. Uses all fields. Small but generates plenty of power. | Twitter Twitter | ||||||||||
| 31 | Brayan Rocchio | CLE | 2B | 19 | A- | S | R | 5′ 10” | 150 | N/A | Plus hit and speed. Small but should generate average power with a really nice swing. Probably a second baseman. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 32 | Brennen Davis | CHC | OF | 21 | A | R | R | 6′ 4” | 175 | N/A | Defied the haters and struck out only 18.6% at A ball as at 19. Many think the speed wont stay around but the power showed up last year. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 33 | Forrest Whitley | HOU | P | 23 | AAA | R | R | 6′ 7” | 195 | H ¾ | Struggled in 2019 before a standout AFL. Has a lengthy history of injuries and was hurt all of 2020. Potentially has the best arsenal in the minors if he can stay healthy and throw strikes. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 34 | Matt Manning | DET | P | 22 | AA | R | R | 6′ 6” | 215 | ¾ | Big fastball. Lacks a third pitch and can struggle to locate pitches. Putting the word “slight” in front of “forearm strain” doesn’t make it any less terrifying. | YouTube Twitter | ||||||||||
| 35 | Simeon Woods-Richardson | TOR | P | 20 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 3” | 210 | H ¾ | Mets really managed his innings in the beginning of the season but he made it to A+ as an 18 year old anyway. Three above average pitches and solid command. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 36 | Grayson Rodriguez | BAL | P | 21 | A | L | R | 6′ 5” | 220 | H ¾ | Three solid pitches (FB, CU, SL). Average command at best. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||

| 38 | Josiah Gray | LAD | P | 22 | AA | R | R | 6′ 1” | 190 | ¾ | Good fastball, decent slider, and developing changeup. Solid control. Didn’t focus on pitching until college. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 39 | Matthew Liberatore | TB | P | 21 | A | L | L | 6′ 5” | 200 | ¾ | Looked great in his age 19 season at A ball last year. Nice fastball and curve. Change and slider aren’t far behind. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||

| 41 | Logan Gilbert | SEA | P | 23 | AA | R | R | 6′ 6” | 225 | H ¾ | Nice fastball. Decent curve. Still developing a change. Control has been great for a guy of his stature. | YouTube Twitter | ||||||||||
| 42 | Daniel Espino | CLE | P | 18 | RK | R | R | 6′ 2” | 205 | ¾ | Young. Big. Huge fastball. Nice slider/curve combo as well. Control could be a problem. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 43 | George Kirby | SEA | P | 21 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 4” | 201 | ¾ | Big fastball with amazing accuracy. None of his secondaries are great. | Twitter Twitter | ||||||||||
| 44 | Michael Kopech | CHW | P | 24 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 3” | 205 | N/A | Command issues and the fact that he hasn’t pitched since 2018 slide him down the list. May need to get his game back up to speed in the minors. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 45 | Garrett Mitchell | MIL | OF | 21 | FYPD | L | R | 6′ 3” | 215 | N/A | Might have the highest upside of the draft class. Plus raw power and speed. His swing needs some work. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 46 | Alek Thomas | ARI | OF | 20 | A+ | L | L | 5′ 11” | 175 | N/A | Above average tools across the board, including somewhat surprising power. Not good at stealing bases at the moment and struggled as a youngster at A+. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 47 | JJ Bleday | MIA | OF | 22 | A+ | L | L | 6′ 3” | 205 | N/A | #4 overall pick last in 2019. Above average hit and power. No speed. | Twitter Twitter | ||||||||||
| 48 | Josh Jung | TEX | 3B | 22 | A | R | R | 6′ 2” | 215 | N/A | Top ten pick in the 2019 draft. Above average hit and power. Apparently put on a show at the Rangers’ alt site. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 49 | Hunter Bishop | SF | OF | 21 | RK | L | R | 6′ 5” | 210 | N/A | Solid power and speed with below-average contact. #10 overall pick in the 2019 draft. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||

| 51 | Orelvis Martinez | TOR | 3B | 19 | RK | R | R | 6′ 1” | 188 | N/A | Showed off big power as a minor in the GCL. Will not play SS for long. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 52 | Jhoan Duran | MIN | P | 21 | AAA | R | R | 6′ 5” | 230 | H ¾ | Huge man with a huge fastball. Breaking ball is plus. Change is average. Control is average. I keep hearing about bullpen concerns. Looks like a starter to me. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 53 | Shane Baz | TB | P | 20 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 2” | 190 | ¾ | Big fastball and breaking ball. Useable change and cutter. Struggles to throw strikes at times. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 54 | Jordan Groshans | TOR | 3B | 21 | A | R | R | 6′ 3” | 205 | N/A | Good power with decent contact. Not a base stealer or a shortstop contrary to some reports. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 55 | Brendan Rodgers | COL | 2B | 24 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 0” | 180 | N/A | Still has above-average contact and power in there somewhere. Really struggled in an injury-shortened season last year. Disappointing that he hasn’t carved out a full-time role. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 56 | Drew Waters | ATL | OF | 21 | AAA | S | R | 6′ 2” | 183 | N/A | Maybe the most divisive prospect in baseball due to high BABIP and less than ideal contact rates. I’m not going to hold a bad showing in AAA against him. He was 20 and managed to collect 56 XBH throughout the season. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 57 | Josh Lowe | TB | OF | 22 | AA | L | R | 6′ 4” | 205 | N/A | Standout 2019 fall league moved him up lists. Not far enough, though. Former first rounder was once Nate’s more heralded brother. Nice combination of power and speed. Needs to keep the strikeouts down. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 58 | Oneil Cruz | PIT | 3B | 22 | AAA | L | R | 6′ 7” | 175 | N/A | Huge frame which means huge power and huge strike zone. Obviously his legal issues could push him off the list entirely. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 59 | Erick Pena | KC | OF | 17 | RK | L | R | 6′ 3” | 180 | N/A | Massive teenager. People that have seen him really like his hit and power tools. | Twitter Twitter | ||||||||||
| 60 | George Valera | CLE | OF | 20 | RK | L | L | 5′ 10” | 160 | N/A | Swing porn. Needs to calm down with the strikeouts but the swing is so pretty that I have to assume he’ll get it under control. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 61 | A.J. Puk | OAK | P | 25 | MLB | L | L | 6′ 7” | 238 | H ¾ | XL human. Would be starting his third MLB season if not for multiple surgeries including Tommy John at the beginning of 2018. Missed all of 2020. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 62 | Taylor Trammell | SEA | OF | 23 | AA | L | L | 6′ 2” | 215 | N/A | A victim of prospect fatigue, he still features a potential above-average hit tool and plus-plus speed. He also puts on a show in batting practice so hopefully there’s more power coming. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 63 | Brandon Marsh | LAA | OF | 22 | AAA | L | R | 6′ 4” | 215 | N/A | Another guy that turned heads at the AFL. Fast even though he has the natural build of a linebacker. Potential above average tools across the board. Needs to develop consistency. Not much in-game power yet. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 64 | Clarke Schmidt | NYY | P | 23 | AA | R | R | 6′ 1” | 200 | N/A | Four solid pitches. Dominated a level he was way too old for in 2019. Hasn’t thrown 100 innings since his sophomore year of college. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 65 | Edward Cabrera | MIA | P | 21 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 4” | 175 | ¾ | Good fastball but he slings it. Don’t think his secondaries are good enough. Below-average command. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 66 | Nick Lodolo | CIN | P | 21 | A+ | L | L | 6′ 6” | 202 | L ¾ | Drafted #7 overall last year. Already nearly 22. Big fastball. Two good secondaries. Questionable command. Really low cross-body delivery doesn’t help. | Twitter YouTube | ||||||||||
| 67 | Shane McClanahan | TB | P | 22 | AA | L | L | 6′ 1” | 200 | L ¾ | Big fastball. Good curve. Change should be usable. Control is questionable. Low arm slot doesn’t help. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 68 | Alek Manoah | TOR | P | 21 | RK | R | R | 6′ 6” | 260 | ¾ | Power fastball/slider big-body guy. Decent control. Needs a third pitch but I prefer him to most pitchers in the class. | YouTube | ||||||||||
| 69 | Brett Baty | NYM | 3B | 21 | RK | L | R | 6′ 3” | 210 | N/A | 2019 first rounder with future above average hit and power. A long way from reaching those grades though. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 70 | Michael Toglia | COL | 1B | 22 | RK | S | R | 6′ 5” | 226 | N/A | 2019 first rounder above-average power. Average hit but draws walks. Also a Rockie which is nice. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 71 | Michael Busch | LAD | 2B | 23 | RK | L | R | 6′ 0” | 207 | N/A | Drafted at the end of the first round in 2019. Potential above average hit and power. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 72 | Geraldo Perdomo | ARI | SS | 21 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 3” | 184 | N/A | Displayed a better than expected hit tool last year as he walked more than he struck out. Below average power despite large frame. Above average speed. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 73 | Nick Gonzales | PIT | 2B | 21 | FYPD | R | R | 5′ 10” | 190 | N/A | The inverse of Garrett Mitchell. Solid hit tool and pretty swing but lacks the size and raw tools to be a fantasy superstar. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 74 | Nolan Jones | CLE | 3B | 21 | AA | L | R | 6′ 2” | 185 | N/A | Big future power but it didn’t show in the 2019 stat line. Lots of strikeouts but also walks at a good clip. Patient to a fault. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 75 | Joey Bart | SF | C | 23 | MLB | R | R | 6′ 3” | 235 | N/A | Nice power. Contact issues. Higher on real-life lists that care about defense. | YouTube Twitter | ||||||||||
| 76 | Austin Hendrick | CIN | OF | 19 | FYPD | L | L | 6′ 0” | 195 | N/A | Massive power. Above-average speed. There are contact concerns but his bat speed and loud tools make him worth the gamble. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 77 | Kameron Misner | MIA | OF | 23 | A | L | L | 6′ 4” | 219 | N/A | The 35th overall pick of 2019. Huge power. Good athlete with solid speed. Questionable ability to make contact. Has looked good but was old for the levels he’s played at. A+ will be a nice challenge. | Twitter Twitter | ||||||||||
| 78 | Ronny Mauricio | NYM | SS | 19 | A | S | R | 6′ 3” | 166 | N/A | Body suggests he should be at least average at power and speed. Hasn’t shown up yet. Held his own at 18 in A ball. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 79 | Misael Urbina | MIN | OF | 17 | RK | R | R | 6′ 0” | 175 | N/A | Played really well at 17 in the DSL in 2019. Walked more than he struck out. Showed speed as well but DSL numbers are to be taken with a grain of salt. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 80 | Alexfri Planez | CLE | OF | 18 | RK | R | R | 6′ 2” | 180 | N/A | This guy has been flying up lists this winter despite only having 29 AB since 2018. The swing is nice but he has some reported swing and miss issues. | YouTube Twitter | ||||||||||
| 81 | Maximo Acosta | TEX | SS | 17 | RK | R | R | 6′ 1” | 170 | N/A | He’s already four inches taller than he was when signed last July. Already getting Gleyber Torres comps. Above-average hit tool. Could get to decent power with his larger frame. | YouTube | ||||||||||
| 82 | Luis Rodriguez | LAD | OF | 17 | RK | R | R | 6′ 0” | 150 | N/A | #4 on MLB’s top J2 list in 2019. A chance for nice power and contact but like most J2 signings this could go many ways. He’s still a kid. | Instagram YouTube | ||||||||||
| 83 | Mick Abel | PHI | SP | 18 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 5” | 190 | ¾ | Three above-average+ pitches. Top prep pitcher in the class. All high school arms are risky but his upside is high. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 84 | Reid Detmers | LAA | SP | 21 | FYPD | L | L | 6′ 2” | 210 | ¾ | High floor college arm. Good stuff with solid control but doesn’t have the ace upside of the pitchers above. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 85 | Max Meyer | MIA | SP | 21 | FYPD | L | R | 6′ 0” | 185 | ¾ | Double plus slider. At least a plus fastball. Developing change. Lacking a starter’s build and track record of the pitchers above him. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 86 | Zack Thompson | STL | P | 22 | A+ | L | L | 6′ 2” | 225 | H ¾ | First round pick in 2019. Above average fastball, curve, and change. Decent command. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 87 | Robert Hassell | SD | OF | 18 | L | L | 6′ 2” | 195 | N/A | Potential solid tools across the board. Experts debate his offensive ceiling (typical of prep prospects) but Hassell looks to be a good contact hitter that should be able to tap into some power and reach enough to steal some bases. | YouTube YouTube | |||||||||||
| 88 | Luis Campusano | SD | C | 22 | MLB | R | R | 5′ 10” | 215 | N/A | Hit for solid power and walked nearly as much as he struck out in A+ in 2019. Was promoted to the MLB and promptly injured himself in 2020. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 89 | Hedbert Perez | MIL | OF | 17 | RK | L | L | 5′ 10” | 160 | N/A | Mystery prospect. Has generated lots of Twitter buzz without taking a single professional at-bat.

| 91 | Jordyn Adams | LAA | OF | 20 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 2” | 180 | N/A | Amazing athlete that’s still trying to figure out how to play baseball. Power and contact haven’t shown up but will one day according to some. Speed is legitimate. Changed his swing in 2019. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 92 | Hunter Greene | CIN | P | 20 | A+ | R | R | 6′ 4” | 175 | L ¾ | Electric fastball. Two above-average secondaries. Good command. Low arm slot. Hasn’t pitched since 2018 due to TJ. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 93 | Jarren Duran | BOS | OF | 23 | AA | L | R | 6′ 2” | 200 | N/A | May have benefited the most from alt site development. Changed his mechanics and is supposedly generating more power. Hopefully his physical maturation didn’t affect his double-plus speed. Much of his previous success was BABIP-driven. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 94 | Austin Wells | NYY | C | 21 | FYPD | L | R | 6′ 2” | 220 | N/A | Above-average hit and power tools. May not stay at catcher due to questionable defensive skills but his bat should be a fantasy asset at any position. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 95 | Jackson Kowar | KC | P | 23 | AA | R | R | 6′ 5” | 180 | ¾ | Fantastic changeup. Fastball was up to 98 in spring training. Developing breaking ball. Old for the levels he’s seen. Don’t understand why he didn’t debut in 2020. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 96 | Jared Kelley | CWS | SP | 18 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 3” | 215 | H ¾ | Plus fastball and change. Developing breaking pitch. Good command. White Sox got a steal in the second round. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 97 | Nick Bitsko | TB | SP | 18 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 4” | 225 | H ¾ | Plus fastball and curve. Still developing an offspeed pitch but he’s young and his control is solid. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 98 | Bryce Jarvis | ARI | SP | 22 | FYPD | L | R | 6′ 2” | 195 | H ¾ | Entire arsenal improved during a bite sized 2020 campaign. Fastball is up to the mid-90s. Secondaries and control/command are solid. Would be much higher with a longer track record of success. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
| 99 | JT Ginn | NYM | SP | 21 | FYPD | R | R | 6′ 2” | 200 | H ¾ | Three above-average+ pitches. Fell to the second round thanks to 2020 Tommy John. The health concerns are obvious but there’s huge upside here. | YouTube YouTube | ||||||||||
