I’m rearranging the rankings this week, so I figured I’d highlight the players that are rising so fast it’s hard to place them.
10. Padres SS Leo De Vries
11. Brewers SS Jesus Made
12. Giants 1B Bryce Eldridge
It’s more than just attrition: these guys have locked in their place among the top ten prospects in baseball until proven otherwise.
De Vries has a 132 wRC as an 18-year-old in High-A, which puts him on track to join the Double-A club this summer before he turns 19 in October? Sorry, that’s not a question. I just . . . it’s hard to put a period there. That means he’s 19 in Triple-A to open 2025 if everything just stays peachy keen? Short list. Wouldn’t find many failures on that one, I’d guess.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
