12 International Prospects To Know For 2025

The Top 100 has a heavy international presence.

Three of the top 10 prospects in baseball were international signings, with 28 of the Top 100 signing from Latin America. Rays third baseman Junior Caminero is the most notable low-dollar international signing on the list, but it’s full of international players who signed for at least $1 million. That includes players with big league experience like Brewers outfielder Jackson Chourio or Yankees outfielder Jasson Dominguez, down to prospects in the lower levels with Mariners outfielder Lazaro Montes, Cubs shortstop Jefferson Rojas, Guardians outfielder Jaison Chourio and Phillies shortstop Starlyn Caba.

When the next international signing period opens on Jan. 15, 2025, teams will get another opportunity to add high-end international signings to their farm system. Today, Ben Badler has new scouting reports, video and the teams expected to sign each of those players below, including prominent expected additions to the Mets, Marlins, Braves, Yankees & more.

Yes, There’s A Convincing Argument To Take Travis Bazzana No. 1 Overall

As Charlie Condon runs away with this year’s home run title and strengthens his grip on his status as the No. 1 prospect in the 2024 class, perhaps Cleveland’s decision at No. 1 is becoming obvious: simply take the 6-foot-6 slugger who pairs power and pure hitting ability that could lead to .280 averages and 35+ home run totals and walk away happy.

The draft isn’t ever quite that simple, however, and while Condon has been captivating there’s another hitter on the opposite side of the country in Corvallis, Ore., who might prevent him from attaining Adley Rutschman-esque “one of one” status.

Today, Carlos Collazo examines Bazzana’s career-best season to date and explains why the Guardians might consider passing on Condon to take the Oregon State second baseman.
