In addition to picking an overall Minor League Player of the Year, Baseball America annually selects one player of the year from every organization at the conclusion of the minor league regular season. This award primarily weighs production, while also factoring in age and competition level.
Here are our 2024 selections. Baseball America subscribers can find a corresponding story highlighting each player’s achievements.

BASEBALL AMERICA MINOR LEAGUE ALL-STARS
2024 Baseball America Minor League All-Star Teams
Baseball America celebrates the top performances by prospects at every position by naming a Minor League All-Star team at the conclusion of each season.
This year’s team was selected by BA staff. Players are listed at the highest level they achieved this season.
C Adrian Del Castillo, Diamondbacks
Triple-A Reno
Del Castillo scuffled at Miami in his draft year of 2021 and for two seasons in the D-backs’ system. That tide began to turn this season, when everything clicked for the 24-year-old lefthanded hitter in the Pacific Coast League. Del Castillo led the minor leagues with a .603 slugging percentage and 1.002 OPS and also finished fourth with 65 extra-base hits despite spending more than a month in the big leagues, where he filled in for an injured Gabriel Moreno.
1B Bryce Eldridge, Giants
Triple-A Sacramento
On the surface, Eldridge had a good year. In context, he had a great one. Drafted 16th overall out of high school in 2023, Eldridge played at all four full-season levels of the Giants’ system this year as a 19-year-old. He hit 23 home runs, which may not be an elite total for a first baseman but tied for the lead among teenagers this season. Not many under-20 players top 20 homers in a minor league season, but some recent age-19 prospects to do so include Francisco Alvarez, Junior Caminero and Jackson Chourio.
