Ranking The 20 Hottest Prospects In Baseball

Twins infielder Brooks Lee is on fire in June. The 2022 first-rounder headlines this week’s Hot Sheet, which ranks the 20 hottest prospects in baseball over the past week.

Lee isn’t the only prominent name heating up. A 2023 first-rounder slots in right behind him on the list, and we also have an update on Jack Leiter, the No. 2 overall pick in the 2021 draft. Other notable top performers include players from the following systems:

• Pirates

• Mariners

• Red Sox

• Mets

• Guardians

• Athletics

• Orioles

• Rays

Baseball America subscribers can find the full weekly ranking below.

This week’s Hot Sheet show has plenty of ground to cover. We welcome in Sawyer Strosnider, a TCU commit and member of the 2024 draft class, and Foul Territory’s Todd Frazier also joins the show. The guys will break down Tennessee’s run to the College World Series title, and Carlos Collazo joins to discuss the stretch run to the 2024 MLB Draft.
