How the Top 100 is determined
The MLB Pipeline team compiles the rankings using input from industry sources, including scouts, scouting directors and other evaluators. The rankings are an aggregate analysis, taking the players’ skill set, upside, proximity to the Majors and potential immediate impact to their teams into account.
The list only includes players with rookie status in 2026, meaning players who debuted in ’25 but did not accumulate the service time (45 days on the active roster), at-bats (130) or innings pitched (50) to graduate are eligible again this year. First-year players who fall outside of the international pool money rules laid out in the Collective Bargaining Agreement -- that is, who are at least 23 years old and played in international leagues deemed professional -- are not eligible. That excludes some older rookies debuting after careers in places like Japan, Korea and Cuba.

Former MLB No. 1 prospects
Former No. 1 prospects include the likes of Mike Trout, Shohei Ohtani, Joe Mauer and numerous other players who count MVP trophies, Cy Young Awards or Rookie of the Year honors among their respective accomplishments. Last year's NL Cy Young Award winner, Paul Skenes, was No. 3 when the 2024 version of this list was unveiled.
