1. OF Nelson Rada | 20 | AAA | 2026

The plusses here are obvious: a legitimate center fielder with solid plate skills from the left side, Rada swiped 54 bases in 135 games across Double-A and Triple-A in 2025, slashing .292/.398/.360 and making huge plate-skills gains when he reached Triple-A. He walked 30 times against 35 strikeouts in his 42 games with Salt Lake, slashing .323/.433/.416 in the cozy hitting environment. He’s always been extremely young for the level – 7.8 years younger than average in Triple-A – and that tends to work out in the aggregate, especially if a teenager like Rada arrives to camp some spring wearing new muscle after a Rocky IV type winter. Rada actually filled out a little bit last offseason and could be quite the fantasy sleeper this year with just a touch more man-strength.
