Updated 2024 Top 100 MLB Prospects

Our first significant in-season Top 100 Prospects update is here. This is a tricky update as our staff blends insights and injury news from early in the season while also allowing for relatively small sample sizes. We rely on our reporting and conversations with scouts and front office officials, while also leaning on MiLB data to detect real improvements or concerns.

James Wood and Jared Jones are among the big winners in this update, but they’re far from the only notable risers. Today’s update includes jumps for players in the Cubs, Mets, Blue Jays and Athletics systems, among others. Baseball America subscribers can see the full list below.
