Who are the top prospects in all the land?

It’s that time of the summer. Minor League All-Star games are completed or soon to be completed, the Futures Game rosters have been announced, and the short-season leagues are all now playing, so all teams that will be playing this season have played at this point.

You’ll see a number of various publications come out with their top prospect lists over the next few months, and each of them bring a different perspective. I’m going to put forth a top 50 today in groups of 10 throughout the day.

A few things, I won’t be putting any players drafted in the 2016 draft in this list. There is simply too much yet to be known about those players to grade them against players with professional experience at this point.

I think you’ll enjoy the list, and I’d love to hear any comments about where you disagree or where a player could have been rated differently. Thanks for the read!
