Every time we think we have a quiet moment in prospect-land, something else exciting happens. These days, the buzz has mostly been about guys getting called up to the big leagues. It's been a fairly steady stream: July 31: Max Clark Aug. 3: George Lombard Jr. Aug. 5: Angel Genao

The Arizona Fall League is widely known as baseball's "finishing school," a place where top prospects go to touch up their game -- and get extra reps -- as they continue their climb to The Show. In the 2026 All-Star Game, 10 of the 18 hitters in the starting lineups

The dog days of summer have been known to wilt many a young player over the years. But in the case of the 30 hitting prospects listed below, they’re as hot as the temps have been.

This story is the third in a series in which MLB Pipeline ranks the Top 10 MLB farm systems by position: Infielders | Outfielders | Pitchers | Catchers We went from the dirt to the grass ... and now to the mound. While the leaders for infielders (Brewers) and outfielders

When Kade Anderson took the mound for the Mariners for his Major League debut on Saturday against the Cubs in Seattle, he became the 16th pitching prospect ranked among the top five overall prospects to make his big league debut. Here’s a look at the group he joins -- the

When Paul Skenes was taken as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 Draft, the clock for his Major League debut started instantaneously. It might have even started during his junior season at Louisiana State as the most dominant pitcher college baseball had seen in a long time. There

We had a feeling people might have a lot of questions and opinions following our full in-season rerank of the Top 100, all 30 team Top 30s and a new farm system rankings. Boy, were we right. We started on this week’s MLB Pipeline Podcast by answering a question about

Unless you were hiding under a baseball rock last week, you noticed Cardinals’ prospect Joshua Báez made his big league debut against the Cubs in Chicago last Saturday. All he did was make history by becoming the first player in Major League history to homer in his first three plate

Kade Anderson was the best pitcher in his Draft class after dominating in the top college conference. He went No. 3 overall to the Mariners last year. Yet somehow, he's still managed to exceed expectations. The 22-year-old made his 18 Minor League starts look absurdly easy, with each one making

September brings roster expansion in Major League Baseball, which means contending and rebuilding teams alike will bring up some of their top prospects for playing time to end the season. Not only are rosters increasing from 26 to 28 in less than two weeks, but since there are fewer than

We reranked the Top 100 Prospects list. We reranked the team Top 30 lists. We reranked the positional Top 10 lists. It’s time we rerank the farm systems too.

With the MLB Draft and Trade Deadline in the rearview mirror, MLB Pipeline's prospect rankings underwent a full renovation this week. The update added dozens of new draftees and 2026 breakout performers, but one thing -- specifically when it comes to the Top 100 -- stands out: The sheer number

Since 2004, MLB.com has been ranking prospects. Between our preseason rankings, and, more recently, midseason updates, we’ve had 24 different players rank as the No. 1 prospect in baseball. How would the best prospects rank amongst themselves? What would this tournament of champions, so to speak, look like? Measuring them

The prospect landscape has changed a lot since we launched our first 2026 Top 100 back in January. After the Draft, a Trade Deadline and the bulk of the 2026 season, we figured it was time to update our rankings. And it’s not just a new Top 100 we’re unveiling.

I talked with Kaelen Culpepper in Spring Training back in March, not long after he had been sent down to Minor League camp following 14 Grapefruit League games, wrapping things up with a simple question: “In a perfect world, your 2026 season ends how?” His answer was exactly what I

In case you weren’t scoring at home, there were a total of 83 prospects traded in the week leading up to the Trade Deadline, 62 of whom found new homes on Monday alone. A large number of those prospects are on their new team Top 30 Prospect lists -- 51

Just about all of the headline-grabbing trades in baseball involve bundles of prospects -- you can't have a blockbuster without a Top 100 prospect or two (or more) changing organizations. This got us at MLB Pipeline thinking about how different trade packages involving prospect returns stack up over the years.

From now until Monday at 6 p.m. ET, all of us at MLB Pipeline are basically on Trade Deadline call. For example, I woke up this Friday morning to news of the Mets/Twins trade that sent A.J. Minter to Minnesota in return for prospects Billy Amick and Bruin Agbayani. On

If there was ever a prospect that epitomizes the well-worn adage “don’t judge a book by its cover,” it’s Max Clark. Some of this the 21-year-old outfield phenom definitely brings on himself. The chains, the eye black, the huge social media following. A lot of it screams “LOOK AT ME,”

With the Trade Deadline quickly approaching on Monday, and rumors swirling around teams looking to make a deep run into October, we thought we would take a look back at the biggest Trade Deadline prospect deals of the past 10 years.

The Trade Deadline is approaching: Monday at 6 p.m. ET. Deals will be made and prospects will change addresses.

As teams prepare to make a splash in the playoff race at the Trade Deadline, which players could make up the prospect capital on the move? On the latest MLB Pipeline Podcast, Jim Callis and Jonathan Mayo -- along with host Jason Ratliff -- examined which Top 100 prospects appear
