Top 30 Prospect Updates For Every Team
After a July Top 100 Prospects update last week, Baseball America continues our run of in-season rankings updates with all-new Top 30 prospect lists for every team. These latest updates take into account recent graduations, injuries and continued industry feedback midway through the 2025 season.
You can find links to the new rankings for all 30 teams below, featuring scouting reports for the top 900 prospects in baseball:

NEW HOT SHEET
Emil Morales Tops This Week’s Hot Sheet
Baseball America’s Hot Sheet ranks the 20 hottest prospects from the previous week while also identifying a weekly helium player to keep tabs on.
The latest Hot Sheet is topped by Dodgers shortstop Emil Morales, who started slowly in his first stateside season but has since caught fire and slashed .500/.591/.625 in the Arizona Complex League last week.
As always, we’ll be hosting our weekly Hot Sheet Show on YouTube at 3:30 p.m. ET on Monday followed by a Hot Sheet prospects chat on Tuesday at 2 p.m. ET.
TOP 30 RISERS & FALLERS
Notable Top 30 Prospects Risers & Fallers
Our latest Top 30 updates surfaced a wide range of players making noise across the minors—for better or worse.
From former No. 1 overall prospect Roki Sasaki’s drop to Esteban Mejia’s continued breakout in the Orioles’ pitching corps, players highlighted in our latest Top 30 risers and fallers aren’t necessarily the ones who moved the most on each list. But they do represent meaningful developments—whether it’s a breakout, a promotion or an early glimpse of major league impact potential.
