Top 50 International Prospects For 2025
With less than a month to go until the international signing period opens on Jan. 15, Ben Badler expanded our bonus board to 50 players today.
You’ll see a familiar name at the top: Roki Sasaki.
Remember, the bonus board ranks players in order of expected signing bonus, not necessarily based on talent. The top five players in today’s update are lien for bonuses of at least $3 million. Roughly 15 players should receive at least $2 million.
Stay tuned, as we’ll expand to 100 players before Jan. 15.
