1. Rangers OF Wyatt Langford | 22 | AAA | 2024
Has a rookie ever jumped into a world series lineup like this and claimed a spot like it always belonged to him?
2. Orioles SS Jackson Holliday | 20 | AAA | 2024
3. Brewers OF Jackson Chourio | 20 | AAA | 2024
Power, speed and defense is a heady mix.
4. Rays 3B Junior Caminero | 20 | MLB | 2023
5. Nationals OF James Wood | 21 | AA | 2024
James Wood is back where he belongs inside my Top Five. He brings a physicality matched only by the very best athletes in the sport. He struck out just 12 times (and drew 10 walks) this spring; so although contact questions remain, he doesn’t have far to travel to become a rotisserie monster.
6. Dodgers RHP Yoshinobu Yamamoto | 25 | MLB | 2024
7. Rangers OF Evan Carter | 21 | MLB | 2023
Might look like I got spooked by Yamamoto’s first game and dropped him a few spots, which is true enough, but he’s mostly a little lower here but because James Wood had to climb,
8. Tigers RHP Jackson Jobe | 21 | AA | 2024
9. Diamondbacks SS Jordan Lawlar | 21 | MLB | 2023
10. Guardians OF Chase DeLauter | 22 | AA | 2024
I was already comparatively high on DeLauter at 16th, but he jumped five spots thanks to a cacophonous spring training that makes pretty clear his unique blend of power and contact will play against major league arms.
11. C 1B Samuel Basallo | 19 | AA | 2025
12. Pirates RHP Paul Skenes | 21 | AA | 2024
13. Tigers 2B Colt Keith | 22 | AAA | 2024
14. Orioles 3B Coby Mayo | 22 | AAA | 2024
15. Nationals OF Dylan Crews | 22 | AA | 2024
16. Twins OF Walker Jenkins | 19 | A | 2026
17. Rays 1B Xavier Isaac | 20 | A+ | 2025
The guys in this tier who don’t make the show this year are early contenders for Top Five fantasy prospects entering 2025.
The contract and the second base spot make Keith feel like safe money in a turbulent world.
Basallo and Isaac are my favorite first base prospects in a long, long time. They make it look so easy.
18. Red Sox SS Ceddanne Rafaela | 23 | MLB | 2023
29. Red Sox OF Roman Anthony | 19 | AA | 2025
20. Padres SS Jackson Merrill | 20 | MLB | 2024
21. Cubs RHP Cade Horton | 22 | AA | 2024
22. Mets SS Jett Williams | 19 | AA | 2024
23. Tigers OF Parker Meadows | 24 | MLB | 2023
24. Yankees OF Spencer Jones | 22 | AA | 2025
25. Yankees OF Jasson Dominguez | 21 | MLB | 2023
Proximity feels crucial this time of year, so Meadows moves up a bit on the back of an impressive spring that locks him into the centerfield job for quite a while in Detroit.
