AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST

Blue Jays: JoJo Parker, SS (No. 1/MLB No. 28); Nolan Perry, RHP (No. 15)
The eighth overall pick last year, Parker heads to Philadelphia at a wonderful time; since June 17, he’s hitting .333/.489/.944 with five homers and 11 walks in 10 games for Single-A Dunedin. He’s lived up to his projection of a plus hit tool and above-average power in his first full season and looks like a candidate to head to High-A before his 20th birthday in August. Perry has been one of the breakout arms of the entire Minors as he’s returned from Tommy John surgery with a mid-90s fastball and two whiff-generating breakers in his curveball and slider. He rose to his third level of the season this week, and across Single-A, High-A and Double-A, he sports a 30.6 K-BB% that ranks second in the Minors (min. 50 IP).

Orioles: Ike Irish, 1B/OF (No. 2/MLB No. 84)
The O’s took Irish out of Auburn in the first round of the 2025 Draft, No. 19 overall, as perhaps the most polished bat in the class. He has the chance to be at least an above-average hitter with above-average power, which he has been getting to during his first full season, so far spent in the High-A South Atlantic League. Irish has 10 homers, an OPS of .855 and 125 wRC+. Once a catcher, the Orioles have decided to let his bat play as a corner outfielder and first baseman.

Rays: Theo Gillen, OF (No. 1/MLB No. 9); Nathan Flewelling, C (No. 2/MLB No. 76)
Gillen was our highest riser in the recent Top 100 update, climbing into the Top 10 for the first time after hitting .342/.449/.589 with 12 homers and 28 steals in 57 games at High-A before earning a promotion to Double-A at just 20 years old. Already known for an impressive approach and plus speed that’s helped his transition to center field, he’s found his power stroke in his second full season to make him an impressive all-around talent up the middle. Flewelling, who was 17 when the Rays took him in the third round as an Alberta high-schooler in 2023, has been young for everywhere he’s played in pro ball but keeps meeting the moment with advanced plate discipline and solid power metrics for his age. His 14 homers at High-A Bowling Green are already double his 2025 total in 161 fewer plate appearances.

Red Sox: Franklin Arias, SS (No. 1/MLB No. 7); Anthony Eyanson, RHP (No. 2/MLB No. 55)
Originally known more for his glove, Arias also provides plenty of impact at the plate and is leading the Eastern League in batting (.328), slugging (.594) and OPS (1.001) as the youngest regular in the Double-A circuit (age 20). Eyanson has been a revelation in his pro debut with a 1.07 ERA, .149 average and 34 percent strikeout rate between High-A and Double-A. He has added 3 mph to his fastball, which now touches 100 mph, and his mid-80s slider may be an even better pitch.

Yankees: George Lombard Jr., SS/3B (No. 1/MLB No. 20); Carlos Lagrange, RHP (No. 4/MLB No. 85)
The son of a former big leaguer (George) and brother of a potential top-five-overall pick in the 2026 Draft (Jacob), Lombard has 25-25 upside and Gold Glove potential. Lagrange gained notoriety by striking out Aaron Judge with a 103-mph fastball during live batting practice in Spring Training, and the Yankees temporarily have shifted him to the bullpen in hopes he can help them this year.

AMERICAN LEAGUE CENTRAL

Guardians: Ralphy Velazquez, 1B/OF (No. 1/MLB No. 38); Cooper Ingle, C/OF (No. 3/MLB No. 63)
Baseball's top-rated first-base prospect, Velazquez has the highest offensive ceiling of any Guardians prospect, making regular hard contact and exuding 30-homer potential. Ingle is an athletic catcher who ranked second in the International League with a .967 OPS and already had set a career high with 12 homers when he was promoted to the Majors five days ago.

Royals: Kendry Chourio, RHP (No. 1/MLB No. 69); Blake Mitchell, C (No. 3)
Chourio has been on a rocket ship since signing for the Royals last year, and after a promotion to Quad Cities last month, he’s the only age-18 pitcher to appear at High-A this season and the first since Eury Pérez in 2021. His fastball sits around 96 mph (that stands out more for his command of it than its shape), and he plays off that with an upper-70s, good-spin curveball and an upper-80s changeup. Mitchell is a Three True Outcome King with 13 homers, a 24.5 percent walk rate and 35.2 percent strikeout rate in 68 games at High-A Quad Cities this season. The 2023 eighth overall pick also has a strong arm from behind the plate that he could show off in Philly.

Tigers: Thayron Liranzo, C (No. 5)
A former Top 100 prospect who clubbed 24 homers in 2023, Liranzo moved from the Dodgers to the Tigers in the 2024 Jack Flaherty deal and has seen his stock yo-yo over time since. When he’s at his best, the switch-hitting backstop shows massive power, particularly from the right side this year, and a plus arm at the dish, so he has the raw tools that could pop in a showcase like this.

Twins: Kaelen Culpepper, SS (No. 2/MLB No. 33)
The Twins’ first-rounder in 2024 is already knocking on the big league door with Triple-A St. Paul. After turning in a 20-20 season in his first full season while reaching Double-A, he’s handled the jump to the Minors’ highest level seamlessly, already with 14 homers and 15 steals, an .868 OPS and 125 wRC+ while primarily playing shortstop (and seeing time at second and third).

White Sox: Caleb Bonemer, 3B/SS (No. 1/MLB No. 16)
The game's best third-base prospect, Bonemer won the Single-A Carolina League MVP award in his 2025 pro debut and is posting even better numbers (.246/.383/.534, 19 homers) while hitting his way to Double-A at age 20. He combines at least plus raw power with a disciplined approach, and he's also a quality defender at the hot corner and shortstop.

AMERICAN LEAGUE WEST

Angels: Tyler Bremner, RHP (No. 1/MLB No. 46); Nelson Rada, OF (No. 2)
Bremner was the No. 2 overall pick in last year’s Draft and has been fairly dominant with High-A Tri-City (2.81 ERA, 44/9 K/BB in 32 IP), with an illness that shelved him for a month the only thing that’s slowed him down. Rada was rushed to the upper levels as a teenager in 2024 and last year started to figure things out. He’s still only 20 and holding his own in Triple-A with a .280 average, .388 OBP and 25 steals.

Astros: Kevin Alvarez, OF (No. 1/MLB No. 70)
Alvarez had some of the best all-around ability and instincts in the 2025 international class, not to mention a left-handed stroke that draws comparisons to Kyle Tucker's. The youngest regular (age 18) in Single-A, he already makes advanced swing decisions for his age and generates plenty of hard contact.

A’s: Leo De Vries, SS (No. 1/MLB No. 2); Jamie Arnold, LHP (No. 2/MLB No. 26)
De Vries was the key acquisition from the Padres in the Mason Miller blockbuster deal and the teenager is performing well in Double-A, with an OPS over .800 and 110 wRC+ to go along with 28 steals while getting defensive reps at both spots on the left side of the infield. Arnold was the A’s top pick in the 2025 Draft and after a solid April in making the jump straight to Double-A for his pro debut, he endured a rough May, then bounced back with his three-pitch mix to post a 2.31 ERA and .193 BAA in June.

Mariners: Kade Anderson, LHP (No. 1/MLB No. 5); Ryan Sloan, RHP (No. 2/MLB No. 8)
Anderson, the No. 3 overall pick in last year’s Draft, is putting up absolutely ridiculous numbers in Double-A during his debut, leading the Minors in a host of categories (1.22 ERA, 2.37 xFIP, 0.71 WHIP, 9.90 K/BB among others). In another organization, he might be in the big leagues already. Sloan, still only 20, is in the same rotation as Anderson, and gives the M’s two pitchers in the top 10, one who shook off a rough April to find his footing as one of the youngest arms in the Texas League (3.16 xFIP, 11.4 K/9, 1.9 BB/9).

Rangers: Caden Scarborough, RHP (No. 2/MLB No. 66)
After dominating at two Class A levels last year, Scarborough had the start of his 2026 delayed by a bout with melanoma before returning to the mound in May. A metrics darling with impressive extension and spin rates to go with a low release height, he pairs a fastball that reaches 97 mph with a wicked low-80s slider.

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST

Braves: Cam Caminiti, LHP (No. 1/MLB No. 45)
Still only 19, Caminiti is more than four years younger than the average pitcher in the South Atlantic League. The athletic lefty is starting to find his footing, and the strike zone, with his fastball-slider-changeup mix, with a 2.65 ERA, 1.059 WHIP and .150 BAA in four June starts.

Marlins: Karson Milbrandt, RHP (No. 4/MLB No. 77)
Milbrandt is enjoying a breakthrough season, advancing to Triple-A while ranking among the Minor League leaders in ERA (1.63, second), strikeout rate (34 percent, fourth) and opponent average (.177, seventh). He can make hitters look bad with three different pitches: mid-90s fastball, upper-80s cutter and mid-80s sweeper.

Mets: Ryan Clifford, 1B/OF (No. 2)
Clifford has some of the best raw power metrics in Triple-A this season – like a 92.7 mph average exit velocity, 108.1 mph 90th-percentile EV and 52.1 percent hard-hit rate – but the 22-year-old left-handed slugger is also at an extreme when it comes to swing-and-miss. He’s seen time at first base and both outfield corners in 2026, and that versatility could be useful to Shane Victorino and the NL staff this year.

Nationals: Eli Willits, SS (No. 1/MLB No. 3); Miguel Sime Jr., RHP (No. 17)
Last year’s first overall pick has met the hype in his first full season, marrying good bat-to-ball skills with improved power that has helped him reach High-A at just 18 years old. His high-energy play at shortstop has also been an asset in his climb up the Nationals chain and the prospect rankings. Sime – a fourth-rounder last year out of New York City – has caught plenty of attention for a fastball that he can run up to the triple-digits, and he has a pair of breaking balls that draw heavy whiffs too. Like Willits, he has already jumped to High-A, but control has been an issue in his first full season with 41 walks in 43 2/3 innings.

Phillies: Gage Wood, RHP (No. 2/MLB No. 54); Wen-Hui Pan, RHP (No. 12)
Let us go on record that we’d like to see Wood, the Phillies’ first-rounder last year, start the game in his future home ballpark. The right-hander has handled a double-jump to Double-A this season well, striking out 12.3 per nine in seven starts at the level using one of the best fastballs (up to 99 mph) in the Minors while continuing to refine his swing-and-miss breaking stuff. Phillies fans should get used to seeing Pan coming out of the Citizens Bank Park bullpen soon as he’s come back from Tommy John surgery to reach Double-A thanks to a plus fastball and splitter.

NATIONAL LEAGUE CENTRAL

Brewers: Jesús Made, SS (No. 1/MLB No. 1); Luis Peña, INF (No. 2/MLB No. 18)
Made has climbed to the top spot of the Top 100 thanks to his quick-twitch nature as a switch-hitter at a premium position, and all five of his tools grade out as at least above-average. He’s held serve as a 19-year-old at Double-A this season, and as he adjusts to lift the ball off the ground more, he could be in for a bigger takeoff in Philly and beyond in the second half. Peña’s 2026 has been defined by health issues (namely an incident in which he passed out in the High-A Wisconsin dugout in April), but at his best, he shows plus-plus wheels and impressive enough bat-to-ball skills to help him overcome some aggression at the plate.

Cardinals: Rainiel Rodriguez, C (No. 1/MLB No. 12); Liam Doyle, LHP (No. 2/MLB No. 22)
Rodriguez joined Made and De Vries as a 19-year-old at Double-A, and after some initial bumps at the level, he’s been absolute nails of late with a .383/.471/.700 line and five homers in his last 15 games for Springfield. The backstop has the power potential to hit 30-plus homers by the time he reaches the Majors, and his propensity to get the ball off the ground with hard contact could help him generate impressive batting averages too. Doyle has been challenged by a similar move to Double-A, especially with a focus on developing his cutter and slider, but his 95-97 mph fastball remains one of the best in the Minors with its tough vertical approach angle for hitters.

Cubs: Josiah Hartshorn, OF/1B, (No. 3/MLB No. 79); Mason McGwire, RHP (No. 30)
After signing for a sixth-round-record $2 million out of a California high school last July, Hartshorn has dazzled with his swing decisions and power in his pro debut, slashing .287/.402/.526 with 14 homers in 70 games between two Class A levels at age 19. The son of legendary slugger Mark McGwire, Mason missed all of 2025 with a partial elbow tear that didn't require surgery. He has come back with better stuff than ever, featuring a 78-82 mph curveball with downer break and a fastball that tops out at 99 mph.

Pirates: Seth Hernandez, RHP (No. 1/MLB No. 6); Edward Florentino, OF (No. 2/MLB No. 31)
The walks have been a tiny bit higher in High-A, but Hernandez is still a high school 2025 draftee who has already earned a promotion and has now been unhittable, with four potentially plus pitches led by a fastball that reaches triple digits, at two levels. Florentino was slowed out of the gate with an ankle injury, and the transition to High-A ball hasn’t gone as smoothly as anticipated, but he’s also only 19 and is still learning to tap into his full toolbox.

Reds: Alfredo Duno, C (No. 1/MLB No. 24)
It’s an exciting time for Duno, No. 2 on our Top 10 catching prospects list. In addition to being named to the Futures Game for the second year in a row, the 20-year-old just got promoted to Double-A after showing off his hit and power tools to mash 16 homers and post a .902 OPS in the High-A Midwest League.

NATIONAL LEAGUE WEST

D-backs: Kayson Cunningham, SS (No. 2/MLB No. 73)
Arizona very much stuck to type when it selected the 5-foot-10 lefty hitter 18th overall last year, and Cunningham rewarded that confidence by hitting .381 with a 156 wRC+ over 43 games with Single-A Visalia out of the gate this season (though he’s slowed some at High-A Hillsboro since a June promotion). The 20-year-old shortstop makes a good amount of contact, leading to a plus hit tool projection, and even if he doesn’t elevate a ton on contact, his 60-grade wheels can also help him pick up hits by the bunches.

Dodgers: Josue De Paula, OF (No. 1/MLB No. 4); Mike Sirota, OF (No. 2/MLB No. 11)
De Paula won MVP honors at the 2025 Futures Game after homering off Noah Schultz and continues to draw comparisons to a more athletic version of Yordan Alvarez while leading the Double-A Texas League in hitting (.314). He'll be joined by Tulsa outfield mate Sirota, who has solid or better tools across the board and ranks second in the Minors in on-base percentage (.481), fourth in walks (69) and seventh in OPS (1.044).

Giants: Gavin Kilen, SS/2B (No. 4); Dakota Jordan, OF (No. 5)
Kilen's bat-to-ball skills got him drafted 13th overall out of Tennessee last July and have translated into a .288/.360/.468 line with 24 doubles (third in the Minors) in High-A. A former three-star wide receiver recruit, Jordan is one of the best athletes in the Minors and owns double-plus raw power and speed.

Padres: Ethan Salas, C (No. 1/MLB No. 34); Kash Mayfield, LHP (No. 4)
After a down performance in 2024 and a back issue that limited him to 10 games last year, Salas has returned as one of the most well-rounded catching prospects in baseball this season at Double-A San Antonio, where he’s hitting .277/.347/.427 with seven homers in 56 games. He’s considered an especially advanced defender behind the plate and could be a welcome sight for the NL’s deep pitching staff. Mayfield – San Diego’s first-round pick in 2024 – continues to plug along with a 3.22 ERA and 53 strikeouts in 44 2/3 innings at High-A. He’s added a little more ride to his 90-93 mph fastball in his second full season, while his 81-84 mph changeup remains his best pitch as a bat misser that he sells well out of the hand.

Rockies: Charlie Condon, 1B (No. 2/MLB No. 65); Roldy Brito, OF/2B (No. 3/MLB No. 72)
It’s been nice to see Condon, the No. 3 overall pick in the 2024 Draft, punishing the baseball like we thought he was capable of doing coming out of Georgia. He’s third in the Pacific Coast League in homers (18), SLG (.580) and OPS (.994) and is coming off a particularly hot month (1.276 OPS, 10 homers in June). Brito is on the other end of the system in the Single-A California League, where the teenager is third in RBIs (60) while slashing .312/.363/.477, bringing at least an above-average hit tool and plus speed to the ballpark every day.
