So far, in this year’s Top 50, we’ve seen:
Over the last few years of working up these Top 50s for the system, I’ve gotten used to running into vast sections of the list where it’s just one pitcher after another — and often one reliever after another — as that has been the depth strength of the farm for much of this decade. So, it’s been a nice, surprising change of pace to get to write up so many hitters in the first two segments of this year’s list.
Ah, but here’s where the long record scratch sound effect should come in because, folks, it’s Revenge of the Arms time! I’m going to sneak in one more hitter to start today’s list, but after that, prepare to head to the mound for an extended period. Indeed, after we make our way past the 40th prospect in this year’s list, we won’t come across another player who swings a bat in earnest for the rest of this week!
Get ready to toe the rubber for a while, as the 2025 Top 50 marches on into the 30s.
