Who’s Rising?

I’m working to reshuffle my rankings this week, and I like to work through some thoughts in this space before the new list goes live. Shout out anyone in the comments that you think warrants a fresh look.

Mets OF AJ Ewing (21) is an obvious riser. He’s been on a rocket ship the last few months after failing to crack the top 100 in a consensus way despite a strong showing in 2025. Over the off-season as public-facing places took a closer look, Ewing’s found himself inside the top 50 for some people. Today, he’s an easy top 25 prospect with a case for the top ten. He’s got a 205 wRC+ through four major league games, so that’s fun. While he’s unlikely to maintain an MVP-level pace, he’s already changed the dynamic of New York’s lineup.
