Team Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Level | ETA 

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2027

2. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson | 21 | AA | 2026

3. Athletics SS Leo De Vries | 19 | AA | 2027

4. Dodgers OF Josue De Paula | 20 | AA | 2027

5. Red Sox SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027

De Paula is the big riser here. Holy goodness what a season he’s having, slashing .322/.417/.547 with 15 home runs, 25 stolen bases and a 13.8-to-13.3 percent walk-to-strikeout ratio. He’s got a solid case for the top spot.

Team Position Player | Age on 4/1/2026 | Level | ETA

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2027

2. Pirates RHP Seth Hernandez | 19 | A+ | 2027

3. Mariners LHP Kade Anderson | 21 | AA | 2026

4. Red Sox SS Franklin Arias | 20 | AA | 2027

5. Athletics SS Leo De Vries | 19 | AA | 2027

The top group feels much stronger than usual for this time of year, between the exodus of rookies and the incoming draft class. Hernandez is the exciting teenage righty since Jose Fernandez, one of my all-time favorite players. May he rest in peace.

White Sox LHP Noah Schultz (22) made his major league debut on Tuesday night, allowing three earned runs in 4.1 innings with four strikeouts and four walks at home against the first-place Rays. He’ll head to Sacramento for his next start before facing the Nationals at home in his third major league outing. That’s the place to start him for the first time, I suspect, if you’ve got him on your fantasy teams.

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2026

A 6’1” 187 pound switch-hitter with power and plate skills beyond his years, Made is the top prospect for our game in my opinion and a consensus top-five prospect for any purpose no matter who’s sorting the list. In 115 across three levels, Made slashed .285/.379/.413 with six home runs and 47 stolen bases. He was 2.4 years young for the level in Low-A, 4.2 years young for the level in High-A, and 5.7 years younger than the average age at the level during his five-game debut with Double-A Biloxi to close out the season. He was slow to get settled into full-season pro ball after skipping the complex league but was dominant in High-A, slashing .343/.415/.500 in 27 games, and I suspect we’ll see a lot of that moving forward.

Format = Team Position Player | Age | Level | ETA 

1. Brewers SS Jesus Made | 18 | AA | 2026

2. Pirates SS Konnor Griffin | 19 | AA | 2026

My guess is that every single other list will have Konnor Griffin at the top, and that’s totally understandable. I’ve said before that he’s a pull-heavy hitter headed to a poor park for that skill set in a poor organization when it comes to helping hitters reach their potential. Love the player. Love Made just a little bit more, given all the variables.

Red Sox LHP Connelly Early recorded a 2.60 ERA and 1.11 WHIP in 100.1 innings pitched across two levels of minor league play this year to earn his Tuesday night debut. His 31.9 percent strikeout rate and 22.2 strikeout-minus-walk rates were right in line with career norms for the 2023 fifth round pick out of Virginia. His debut was a thing of beauty: five shutout innings with 11 strikeouts. He’s probably not that good, but Boston has been on fire for a while now when it comes to player development, and I’m in no hurry to bet against them.

These days are reserved for the true cheapskates. If a minor leaguer is good enough to stress the pricing mechanisms in place to suppress his salary, the cheapskate team is obligated to keep him on a minor league contract as long as embarrassingly possible. How can you not be romantic about Baltimore promoting Dylan Beavers and Samuel Basallo on back-to-back days just after crossing the invisible barrier between trying to win games and trying to spend as little as possible for as long as possible. Or perhaps it was pure coincidence that they were both ready for the next challenge on the same weekend just in time to preserve their rookie status for 2026. It could happen.

Gonna try something different with this year’s Future’s Game story and kind of live blog throughout the afternoon. I know it’s not a live blog because we’re not live, and the game happened yesterday, but I don’t know what else to call it. 

This year’s coverage of the event began with a highlight package of young stars flashing in the game over the years, beginning with Alfonso Soriano in 1999. What a time that was.
