Updated 2025 MLB Draft Rankings

Following the summer circuit, we published our first significant update to our 2025 MLB Draft big board this morning. The updated list features the top 100 overall prospects in the class, plus scouting reports for every player. Here are the takeaways:

👀 There’s A New No. 1: Texas A&M star Jace LaViolette leapfrogged to the top of the list on the strength of a special blend of tools, athleticism and college production.

📈 More Talent On The Way? It’s still early, but the 2025 class looks notably stronger than last year’s, particularly at the prep level.

⬅️ Strong West Coast Flavor: 20 of the top 30 prospects hail from the western part of the state.

We’re in the early days of the 2025 draft cycle. It’s a time when the entire amateur scouting industry has had a few months to focus exclusively on a new class of players. Because of that there’s often plenty of disagreement and wide ranges of opinions on the class.

Today, Carlos Collazo dishes on some of his most recent conversations with draft scouts & evaluators, including…

• The debate at No. 1 between LaViolette and Holliday

• What’s up with all the talent out west?

• Why there’s more confidence in pitchers at the top of the board
