With the MLB season just around the corner, where will the top prospects begin the year?

An Introduction

Our MLB top 125 prospect list was coordinated by Benjamin Chase, and he released the entire listing in January.

With the regular season just around the corner, there have been some very interesting decisions by teams to keep up prospects, send down other prospects, and other interesting promotions within the minor leagues to track.

This is a grouping of educated guesses on the destination for each MLB prospect, but as the Atlanta Braves showed with their recent announcement that teenage starters Kolby Allard and Mike Soroka will open the season with their AA Mississippi club, an educated guess doesn’t necessarily mean it will end up correct!

We will explore the top 25 MLB prospects from that January list with their projected destinations, 5 per slide, up to #1. This can also serve as a review of the top 25 prospect list!

Ben has also been doing scouting reports this spring on the top 20 prospects from this list, so those will be linked on the top 20 prospects (Vladimir Guerrero, Jr.’s video was not available, but look early in the season for Vlad’s scouting report once he hits somewhere where video is available to put eyes on him).

Enjoy!
