The Texas Rangers, WS champions and they have two top 5 prospects in baseball. They Will also host the All-Star Game in Arlington with Bruce Bochy as the manger. Fun time to be a rangers fan.
As a padre fan, I agree with the ethan salas take. He only raked in low A, and he capped out at AA. However, hes only 17. If he can make adjustments and begins to hit again, do not be surprised if he makes his MLB debut in September. This kid is mature beyond his years and such a professional in how he goes about his business. He is the next great catcher.
Let's go O's! Samuel Basallo is going to be the #1 prospect in baseball by this time next year. Also, how does Evan Carter have rookie eligibility still? He spent more than 45 days in the majors. Just curious how that works.
@@juanitomarquez2539 last time I looked it up it said either 130 at bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 days on the MLB roster would cause them to lose their rookie eligibility for the next season. I guess it doesn't count the playoffs.
As a ranger fan it’s incredibly exciting to have young guys like Carter and Langford. I’m hoping to see Carter pick up where he left off and hopefully Langford does just as well. They really could be an elite duo in the outfield for several years to come. Now if only we could have some of our pitching prospects take the leap as well 😅
Y’all are so lucky and Langford looks like he’s gonna be crazy, y’all got degrom and scherzer for next year so they got time to take the leap down there
@@grantolson2903 I am actually quite worried for our pitchers going into the season. Scherzer does not look good at all, deGrom is still injured, and we dont have Jordan Montgomery anymore. Nathan Eovaldi is our best pitcher right now tbh.
@@tuxedotwins6349 he’s better than most of these guys it’s jsut he struggled a bit at double a but if that’s his floor then he should be top 5 bc even some of these players ceilings are his floor
@@bpd4181ok, look at prior seasons, his strikeouts were up this year and I get a new level, still not gonna ignore he is slashing .291/.388/.527. Literally only thing hurting him is strikeouts and some of these other players haven’t touched those numbers
Cj Abrams needs to make that huge leap too once they both make the opening roster full time. You get a 3 potential big 3 with those guys, nationals will be fun.
No Jasson Domínguez? He is still eligible due to injury and despite mashing from Day 1 when he was called up, he is still listed a Yankee prospect. You do know he is having a quicker than expected recovery and the Yanks may just DH him before he ever see the field in the second half of the season? anti-Yankee bias is a thing in baseball, that's why some of them aren't in the Hall. But I guess I shouldn't expected fairer treatment of the team from a RUclipsr as opposed to the typical baseball press.
If you truly are going off highest ceiling I don't see how Max Clark isn't on your list. Plate discipline, speed, (arm strength) defense. Don't get caught up in small sample size stats. Your list is full of future clean up hitters.
If you go off last years stats Langford is #1 and it isn’t close. In fact he would be the best prospect in the last ten years. I love Holliday. But Langfords stats are in matched. The guy his over .400 in AA. Maybe you knock him a bit for fielding but offensively he is going to crush it in MLB this year.
Unpopular opinion... Jackson Holliday under performs and has a mediocre career. Im not rooting for him to fail its just a feeling i have. i will probably be wrong.
I won't pretend I knew who Paul skins was before the season but obviously he should have been number one on this list because after 4 or 5:00 starts he's practically the best pitcher in Major League baseball today the nastiest stuff I have ever seen I've never seen anyone throw that hard with the ball sliding and moving all over the place nothing is straight with this guy and he throws at 96 mi an hour sink or 102 mile an hour fastball and is accurate
I’m a lifelong Texas Ranger fan and they just won the World Series and they have two of the top three prospects in baseball I’m super excited for the next few years
Baltimore player development has gone from possibly the worst in baseball to arguably the best under Elias, I mean it's crazy. Middle of the pack guys they've gotten in trades have become top of the rotation pitchers (Kyle Bradish) and solid rotation pieces (Dean Kremer) and draft picks (Henderson, Holliday) along with international guys (Basallo) are developed at a rate that far exceeded ETAs. Then you add in waiver claims/MiL FAs/trade throw ins that the Os made into above average to dominant (Bautista, Perez, Cano, Ohearn) and add it to MLB FA signings that become better as soon as they sign (Lyle's, Frazier, Gibson)...it's truly incredible.
Hey Marc, IF you do go forward and make a top 100 prospects list, let me give you a non-biased Mariners farm guide from a Mariners fan's perspective who regularly talks with national guys. Mariners have 4 prospects that are worthy of top 100 status. I've seen about 3 different lists with all 4 mentioned so far, and numerous other lists with at least 3 of the prospects listed. Cole Young: Middle infielder (2B/SS). Last year, he spent his season in A (AND) A+ at 19 and 20 years old (July bday). His combined slash was .277/.399/.448 in 126 games. 137 hits, 34 doubles, 1 triple, 11 homers, 88 walks to 90 strikeouts (great ratio!!!!), and he also stole 22 bags. Great bat to ball, good exit velos, not a ton of pop, but projects to hit 10-15 homers per year in the bigs with a ceiling of like 25 all time maximum. Has a great eye and possibly the best plate discipline in the entire system. Threat on the bases. Decent fielder but frame and overall range push him to 2B eventually. Pipeline has him at 37 but he fits best in the 45-55 range. Colt Emerson: SS/3B. one of the Mariners' 1st rounders last year. In 24 games at 18 years old, he slashed .374/.496/.549 with 34 hits, 10 doubles, 2 homers, 17 walks to 20 strikeouts, and 8 stolen bases. I, along with others, view him as the best prospect in the system but it's close. When comparing him to Cole Young, he has a better frame, just as good, if not better bat to ball skills, better exit velos (which are close to what some view as "elite" level of exit velos), more pop (due to better strength AND his good frame), and another great eye at the plate (similar to Cole's). Somewhat of a threat on the bases. He could steal about 15-25 per year. Ultimately he's a 3B, especially if he grows any more but he's as tooled up as anyone in the system. I've seen him as high as 25 already. I ultimately think he fits in the 40-55 range. Harry Ford: Ford is a tooled-up former prep offensive catcher who's a threat on the bases. He also has a great eye, but he could be a little bit more aggro on pitches INSIDE the zone (strikes). Scouts aren't exactly sure whether or not he sticks at catcher, but since he's athletically gifted enough, he could move to 2B or corner outfield, maybe even centerfield, with ease. Worth noting that in spring training, they plan to try him out in the infield a little bit. Could just be experimental. I don't think a permanent move is in the near future. But, Ford is a 25 bag threat, has a decent throwing arm behind the plate, another great eye at the plate (notice the trend? it's pretty frequent in the Ms system). He isn't as good of a hitter as Young or Emerson at the plate, but he's definitely no slouch. If he becomes more aggressive on pitches inside the zone, he could easily take another step forward. Pipeline has him at 38, one slot behind Young, but ultimately he fits in the same range as Young (45-55) I think. I have him as my #3 prospect, behind Young. But he's not very far off #2. His slash last year was .257/.410/.430 in 118 games. He had 114 hits, 24 doubles, 4 triples, 15 homers, 103 walks to 109 strikeouts, and 24 bags. Lazaro "Laz" Montes: Montes is a POWERFUL left handed corner outfielder who has drawn comps to Astros star Yordan Alvarez. Laz destroyed both levels of complex league ball, along with low A ball after his promotion mid season last year. Last year, Montes between 2 levels in 70 total games, he slashed .303/.440/.560 with 73 hits, 19 doubles, 2 triples, 13 homers, 61 RBI, 54 walks to 76 strikeouts and 2 stolen bases. He strikes out a little bit more than the other 3, but at just 18 years old in one of his Arizona Complex league games, Laz hit a ball in game !!!!! 118 mph !!!!!. Lazaro's development depends almost entirely on his bat though. He has a slightly above average arm, but with him being so physically massive, he's kinda clumsy in the outfield. He'll ultimately become a 1B/DH type player in the end, most people believe. He has a solid eye, but like Ford, could do better at swinging at pitches inside the strike zone. I've seen him anywhere from 75 to the 100-110 range. I think something in the 80-100 range would be fair. Just for context, Pipeline had him in the "just missed" section which showed the next 10 to break the list. I'll also send this to your business email in case you don't see this. :)
From watching a lot of footage of walker jenkins, one of the things i like the most about him is that he doesnt seem to be a "launch angle" obsessed player. Seems like hes focused with being an all around good hitter, minimizing k's, which ks rare now a days
Was hoping to see Jasson Dominguez here, switch hitting fast cf with all the tools as a 20 year old caught fire at the end of last season 1.094 ops in aaa then in his short stint in the majors before getting hurt hit to a .980 ops
Wow, bold move putting Edwin Diaz as your top prospect for 2024.
Never gets old 😂

Make a top 100
Wise choice putting Jo Adell at #1, he could be the next Mike Trout
"And that's why the Mets have the best farm system in the MLB."
Where’s Ben Simmons? Definitely has a shot at ROTY
Leaving Jasson Dominguez off this list is blasphemy
Sheeeesh, no Eury Perez and Ethan Salas? its spicy though
Okay, how is 20 y/o ‘Really young’ and 21 is ‘a little old’
Salas?
I'm hoping Adael Amador gets traded to a large market team. He looks real solid.

Scouts aren't exactly sure whether or not he sticks at catcher, but since he's athletically gifted enough, he could move to 2B or corner outfield, maybe even centerfield, with ease. Worth noting that in spring training, they plan to try him out in the infield a little bit. Could just be experimental. I don't think a permanent move is in the near future.
