"This ranking is about future potential, about how I think these players and others will grow and develop over the next several years."
"...they produce less in the majors because they don't rack up as many innings, which is (mostly) a smart baseball strategy but hasn't helped the on-field product's appeal - nor has it kept anyone healthy."
"Hitters dominate his list, with three-fourths of the list being position players."
"His splitter was a devastating pitch in key postseason games, thanks to his high, vertical arm slot and downhill arm action that make it look like a fastball before it drops late."
A top-100 prospects ranking prioritizes projected future impact and expected development over past statistics or minor-league progress. Position players dominate the list, comprising roughly three-quarters of entries, reflecting greater perceived upside and lower short-term injury risk. Pitchers received fewer top slots largely because workload management and reduced innings have coincided with rising injuries and diminished major-league production. Trey Yesavage made a substantial jump into the top 25 after a breakthrough showing, totaling 41.2 innings with a 3.46 ERA between regular season and postseason and featuring a devastating splitter that produced high strikeout totals in key playoff outings.
