Ranking The 10 Hottest Prospects After Two Weeks Of The Arizona Fall League
If you’re looking for some of the top talent in the Arizona Fall League, we suggest taking a hard look at the catcher position. Three backstops rank among the 10 hottest players on the circuit so far and another currently playing first base, Josue Briceño, caught plenty during the regular season. Baseball America staffers ranked the top performers from the past week, which includes prominent performers from the D-backs, Nationals and Cardinals systems.

EXPANDED 2025 DRAFT RANKINGS
200 MLB Draft Prospects To Know For 2025
After previously ranking the top 100 prospects in the class, Baseball America draft expert Carlos Collazo expanded our college and high school class rankings today following additional conversations with amateur scouts and talent evaluators. We’re particularly intrigued by the depth and top-end talent of the 2025 prep class, and there’s plenty of upside distributed through both the hitting and pitching ranks of the class. Shortstop Ethan Holliday continues to lead the prep class at No. 1 overall, though righthander Seth Hernandez, third baseman Xavier Neyens and lefthander/first baseman Kruz Schoolcraft aren’t too far behind.
You can see the full rankings for each group below, complete with scouting reports.
