He's already exceeded the power projections for someone of such small stature and is about as complete of a prospect as you'll find, standing out just as much for his speed and plate discipline. Corbin Carroll, OF, DiamondbacksĢ022 levels: Rookie ball, Double-A, Triple-AĢ022 stats: .315 BA (248 AB), 19 HR, 23 SB, 1.087 OPS, 47 BB, 72 KĬarroll has breezed through every level, taking a wrecking ball to the upper minors this year after hardly playing the past two. Simple enough, right? Let's do the thing.Īll stats are updated through Wednesday, July 20. Scroll down a little further, and you'll see that Oneil Cruz would be No. 1 prospect if I still considered him a prospect for the purposes of this list. What I'm revealing here is that Riley Greene would be the No. Still, just to provide a frame of reference, I've indicated where some of this year's call-ups would slot if they still qualified. You've heard enough about those guys already. Rookie eligibility (130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched) works well enough for a preseason rank list, but a midseason list like this one quickly becomes irrelevant if half the players on it are on the verge of meeting those thresholds.
None of the latest draft class, many of whom remain unsigned, were considered.These rankings are intended for Fantasy Baseball use, which means proximity is paramount and defense only matters to the extent it could impact a player's playing time.We should go over the ground rules first, though. I think you'll agree that's even better than a top 30 (or 25, for that matter). To preempt some of the what-abouts, I've included 20 honorable mentions at the end, making this list arguably a top 50.
So 30 is what I have for you, and I'm fairly confident it's the right 30 even if we might quibble about the order. I intended to write about only 25 prospects here, but when you've already whittled the list down to 28 and can't bear the thought of removing anyone else, sometimes it's easier just to expand.
