MLB: Top 100 Prospects

August 10, 2023

With the 2023 MLB Draft and the trade deadline behind us, it’s time to re-rank the Top 100 prospects in baseball. This season has seen an inordinate number of players graduate from the preseason list, bringing new names and faces into the national fold.

Jackson Holliday leads the way, and for our money, by a considerable margin. He’s a surefire shortstop with plus tools scattered about his profile. He’s performed at every stop, brings pedigree and bloodlines to the table, and could see the big leagues before he can legally drink a beer. Jackson Chourio holds a reasonably firm margin at no. 2 in front of James Wood, while guys like Marcelo Mayer, Junior Caminero, Jordan Lawlar and Jackson Merrill all received Top-5 consideration.

The unbelievably strong 2023 draft saw three players immediately thrust into the Top 10 prospects in baseball. Paul Skenes (4), Dylan Crews (6), and Wyatt Langford (8) all project a Role 6 players who have the talent to go to several all star games in their careers.

Without further adieu, the Future Stars Series PLUS Top 100 Prospects in MLB.’
