The Twitter poll rounded out MLB Network's ranking of the 25 best players under the age of 25.

The 23-year-old Acuña won the 2018 National League Rookie of the Year Award and is already a two-time Silver Slugger Award winner. He was the youngest player ever with a 40-homer, 30-steal season, and he entered Friday night tied for the MLB lead with 18 home runs.

Tatis, meanwhile, finished third in 2019 NL Rookie of the Year voting and fourth in '20 NL MVP voting. He has 56 home runs and 40 stolen bases in just 189 career games -- that's good for an average of 48 homers and 34 steals over a 162-game span.

As for Soto, the 22-year-old Nationals star already has a World Series championship and a batting title under his belt. Soto made his MLB debut at 19 years old, finishing second in the NL Rookie of the Year Award voting to Acuña in '18.

While that trio battled it out for the top spot, the remainder of the top 25 is star-studded in its own right.

Rafael Devers finished just outside of the top 3 at No. 4, while Blue Jays teammates Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette checked in at Nos. 5 and 6, respectively.

Yordan Alvarez and Gleyber Torres were up next, while Dodgers left-hander Julio Urías was the top pitcher on the list at No. 9 overall. Braves righty Ian Anderson followed Urías to round out the top 10.
