Chat Top 100 Prospects With Us At 12 p.m. ET

We’re thrilled to have released the 36th edition of our flagship preseason Top 100 prospects list. Now, we’d love to talk prospects with you.

Exclusively for Baseball America subscribers, our staffers will be answering questions in a mailbag-style chat throughout the day Friday beginning at 12 p.m. ET.

Have a question for one of our prospect experts? Submit your thoughts, and we’ll respond with insight gleaned from weeks and weeks spent researching and talking with scouts and front office personnel. You may just see your question answered on one of our ensuing podcasts or YouTube videos, too.

Baseball America Staff Reveals Their Prospect Rankings

Our Top 100 prospects list is a culmination of industry feedback, reporting and input from our staff. Of course, not everyone involved in making the final ranking always aligns on how best to line up the top prospects in the sport.

To give you a better idea of how Baseball America approached this challenging task, we’re presenting individual Top 50 rankings for a number of our staffers, including J.J. Cooper, Geoff Pontes, Matt Eddy and Carlos Collazo.

10 Teams Who Could Return To The NCAA Tournament

From controversial snubs to tight conference tournament races and stolen bids, it’s often the fringes of the NCAA Tournament field that produce the most excitement late in every season.

Here are 10 teams that, after coming up short in trying to make last year’s field of 64, have reasonable shots at changing their postseason fate in 2025.

CHASE VS. COORS

Why Chase Dollander Has What It Takes To Succeed At Coors Field

Following a down season at Tennessee and less-than-desirable draft spot with the Rockies, talent evaluators weren’t quite sure what to make of Chase Dollander.

But after a strong 2024 performance helped land Dollander in the top 10 of our 2025 preseason prospects rankings, the hard-throwing righthander looks to be back on track.

Now, thanks to unique fastball characteristics and a skill set that makes him “the most talented pitching prospect in Rockies history,” Dollander could be primed to do what few others have donetake on the treacherous pitching conditions of Coors Field and live to tell about it.
