Our Post-Draft Top 100 Update Is Here

With the 2025 MLB Draft now behind us, Baseball America presents the latest update to our Top 100 Prospects list.

The list features a brand new No. 1 prospect in Pirates shortstop Konnor Griffin, who’s been flying up rankings since making his pro debut last year. It also marks the return of Yankees slugger Spencer Jones, whose scorching hot bat did plenty of talking when it came time to debate updates to the list.

The other key piece of our new list is the addition of dozen 2025 draftees. While this means a number of previous entrants needed to be bumped from the ranking, it also results in a fresh crop of exciting new talent slotting into the Top 100.

So, who made the cut in the post-draft edition of our Top 100? Check out the complete list and read on below for more coverage, including a breakdown of key changes to the ranking and a look at month-over-month player movement so far in 2025.

Want even more rankings? We also recently updated our Top 30 prospect lists for every team to include 2025 draftees.

Thomas White Tops This Week’s Hot Sheet

Baseball America’s Hot Sheet ranks the hottest prospects from the previous week while also identifying a weekly helium player to keep tabs on.

The latest Hot Sheet is topped by Marlins lefthander Thomas White, who was a K machine last week. The 20-year-old spun five, two-hit shutout innings with two walks and 14 strikeouts. His eight strikeouts in a row tied a modern league record.

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.
