Our annual preseason Top 100 Prospects list is a culmination of industry feedback, reporting and lots of healthy debate amongst the Baseball America staff. That last ingredient is a key one, because when it comes to ranking this many players, not everyone always agrees on how to best line up the top prospects in the sport.

With that in mind, we’re presenting a selection of personal Top 50 rankings so BA subscribers can see exactly how our staff approached making the list for 2026.
