Where does the Nationals farm system rank across Major League Baseball?

"The most up-to-date farm system ranking is listed on Fangraphs. They use a metric that tiers MLB prospects and combines the values into a solid ranking. As per this formula, the Nationals are smack-dad in the middle of the MLB as the 16th ranked Farm System. The highest tier is labeled as "70 FV". To simplify, the higher the numeric value, the better the prospect."

"The team is mid-pack in their quantitity, as well as their quality of prospects. It will be up to the organization to hit on as many prospects as possible. The Nationals highest rated player sits in the fourth tier of 55 FV. This player is Jarlin Susana, the organizations 4th ranked prospect (RHP - AA). They then have two players in the fifth tier, being Eli Willits (SS - A), though ages away from being up in the majors, and Travis Sykora (RHP - AA)."

The Nationals farm system ranks 16th in MLB using Fangraphs prospect-value metrics. Fangraphs assigns FV tiers where higher numbers indicate better prospects; the top labeled tier is "70 FV" and two teams hold 65 FV players (Pittsburgh, Milwaukee). The Nationals' highest FV is 55, held by Jarlin Susana (RHP, AA), and the organization also lists Eli Willits and Travis Sykora among notable prospects. The Nationals have three players on the MLB Top 100 (Willits 15, Harry Ford 42, Sykora 49) and Susana appears at 87 on that list. The system sits mid-pack in quantity and quality and will rely on successful prospect development to improve the major-league roster.
