1Colson MontgomeryCHWAAMontgomery was sidelined until mid-June this year due to a back and then an oblique injury and quckly made up for lost time when he returned, hitting .287/.455/.484 with 25 extra base hits in 64 games. He might end up at third long term but there are no questions with the bat due to his potential plus hit and power combo. He's disciplines, makes plus contact and has plus exit velocity numbers.21124Glendale Desert Dogs

2Carson WilliamsTBAAWilliams is a sensational defender at shortstop, checking all the boxes defensively. There's also plus power here but also some hit tool concerns. He was a former two-way player in high school, and now has above-average or better tools across the board, except the hit tool which is below-average.20125Peoria Javelinas
4
3Kyle ManzardoCLEAAAManzardo is one of the best pure hitters in the minors and that hasn't changed despite a down 2023. He did perform much better post-trade and should settle in as a high average, 20+ homer first baseman with solid on-base skills. 23106Peoria Javelinas
5
4Harry FordSEAA+Ford spent the entire season in High-A afer a successful WBC stint with Great Britain. Not many players, yet alone catchers, can match his athleticsm and power projection. He smacked 43 extra base hits while finishing inside the top ten in the Northwest League in homers and stolen bases. He led the league with a .410 OBP.20124Peoria Javelinas
6
5Chase DeLauterCLEAAThe former James Madison Duke was on the shelf for the early part of 2023 after re-injuring his left foot and having to replace a screw that was already inserted. After returning he he hit .355/.417/.528 making contact at a plus rate. Every where he's gone he's posted above-average to plus contact rates and swing decisions. In 57 games he had 27 extra base knocks. There's more over the fence power coming.21114Peoria Javelinas
7
6Abimelec OrtizTEXA+Ortiz's surge can be explained by two main things; lasik surgery and better swing decisions. The big lefty swatted 33 homers in 109 games and the former UDFA is attacking hittable pitches and driving the ball more. A first baseman by trade, he's listed as an outfielder out here.21131Surprise Seguaros
8
7Kevin AlcantaraCHCAAAlcantara leads a strong Cubs contingent in the desert, and he finally gets to show off his skill set in an offensive environment. He's long and lanky and super projectable, he's as tooled up as it gets with potential plus power and above-average speed. He's marginally imporved his contact rates this year while maintaining his plus exit velocities. 21117Mesa Solar Sox

8Tyler LocklearSEAAAThe former VCU slugger has continued his slugging ways in professional baseball. The owner of one of the more unorthodox pre-swing movements out there, he's at the AFL attemtping to make up for missed time after missing two months due to a broken bone in his hand. He's already made the move over to first base, but there's more than enough bat to be an everyday option at the cold corner. 22110Peoria Javelinas
10
9Justice BigbieDETAAAThe 2021 19th rounder of out Western Carolina had an outstanding breakout season climbing from High-A to Triple-A while hitting .343/.405/.537. He's more of a hit over power type, but his offensive game has taken the next step due to his quality of contact. The power breakout will come when/if he starts hitting the ball out front instead of letting it travel and ripping it to right-center.24122Salt River Rafters
11
10Jace JungDETAAJung put together a fantastic 2023 season and he will look to continue that in the Fall League. The second baseman swatted 28 homers and compiled a .376 OBP between High-A and Double-A. He's also improved defensively and has proven even the harshest critics of his draft selection wrong at this point. Myself included. The Tigers are represented very well in the AFL.23127Salt River Rafters
12
11Jakob MarseeSDAAMarsee has one of the better hit tool and approach combinations in the minors, making contact at a plus rate while also drawing 98 walks to 97 strikeouts. I think there is 12-to-15 homer power here in the long run, but he did take advantage of the short porch in Ft. Wayne by pulling the ball more and upping his homer total. After his promotion to Double-A San Antonio he began using the middle of the field more on offense. He led the Midwest League in OBP and was third in steals. 22129Peoria Javelinas
13
12Victor ScottSTLAAScott is a throwback prospect and a call back to the Whiteyball era that Cardinals fans recall so fondly. He's an 80-grade runner and a double-plus centerfielder that also made positive strides offensively. He makes contact at an above-average clip whil also showing that he could potentially hit 12-to-15 homers at his peak. Oh yeah and he swiped 95 bases in 2023. He could help the big club next year because of the speed and defense, but ideally he gets another full year in the minors to marinate. 22111Scottsdale Scorpions
14
13James TriantosCHCAAA torn meniscus dleayed Triantos's season and limited him to 83 games. He showed an improved approach and improved contact skills from 2022 and looks to be one of the higher upside bats in a strong Cubs system. There are some valid defensive concerns as it hasn't worked at third and he lacks the lateral range for second, but if he keeps hitting you will find a place. His defensive reps are just as important as his offensive ones at this point. 20119Mesa Solar Sox
15
14Ryan BlissSEAAAABliss had some struggles in 2022 as he was often swinging out of his shoes and looking to do damage at the plate instead of sticking with his contact-oriented game that made him on of the most fun players to watch in college when he was at Auburn. Well he went back to that contact first approach and was leading the minor leagues in hit prior to the deadline trade that sent him to Seattle. He found his groove again in a late season push and should be a 10-to-12 homer, 20+ steal second baseman that plays great defense. 23116Peoria Javelinas
16
15Graham PauleySDAAThe Padres have gotten some excellent early returns from their 2022 draft class as five of them have already made it to Double-A and are performing well. Pauley is one of those guys and he ended up posting a 20/20 season with a .398 OBP and 32 doubles. He's a versatile guy with a swing that generates repeatable natural loft and has shown above-average on-base skills to this point.22126Peoria Javelinas
17
16Zach DezenzoHOUAADezenzo was one of the very early pop up prospects in 2023, displaying plus-plus raw power with top tier exit velocity numbers. The Astros took an up the middle collegiate bat with power and questionable contact skills and reworked his swing and now have a guy with plus-plus power, above-average contact skills, and a guy who makes good swing decisions. There's 30+ homer upside here with the Crawford Boxes looming.23106Mesa Solar Sox
18
17Sterlin ThompsonCOLAAThe former Florida Gator missed some time this year with an elbow injury but still put together a .293/.376/.487 slash line with 14 homers and 17 steals over 94 games. He likely ends up in the outfield but his athleticism, speed and hitting ability will work out just fine at Coors Field. Playing 2B on 10/222108Salt River Rafters
19
18Kevin ParadaNYMAAParada didn't have the type of season we expected but did advance to Double-A which seems likely where he will begin 2024. Parada hasn't shown the elite contact abilities and the same approach he had in college, and his power isn't playing as big as a result. There are some defensive issues here as well, and the extra reps in Arizona will give the Mets an extended looks at his receiving and throwing, which both need work.2299Glendale Desert Dogs
20
19Alex CanarioCHCMLBCanario suffered a horrible injury in winter ball was he fractured his ankle and dislocated his shoulder while stepping on first base. He had a very strong 2022 season and was poised to make a significant impact for the Cubs early in 2023, but due to the injury he didn't play his first game at the complex until June 15th. He did make his MLB debut late in the season though, and will be one of the few players here with Major League experience.2396Mesa Solar Sox
21
20Jack BranniganPITA+Brannigan's first full-season as a hitter went very well as he hit .275/.390/.524 with 19 homers and 24 stolen bases over 87 games. The former two-way guy at Notre Dame earned very high praise for his defensive work at third as well, showing off his athleticism and arm strength. He's also a plus runner on the bases. He's passive at the plate which leads to high walk totals and elevated strikeout numbers, and will need to improve his contact rate to fully tap into his potential. Playing SS on 10/2 22104Salt River Rafters
22
21Bryan RamosCHWAARamos didn't see game action this year until May and after a brief rehab assignment from a groin injury he returned to Birmingham on May 30th and hit .271/.369/.457 for the rest of the season. In 77 games he had 25 extra base hits, with 14 of them going over the wall, and with a 90% EV up over 106 there will be more consistent power coming. He's always been young for the level throughout his career and is already on the 40-man roster so we could see him in the big leagues next year for the White Sox.21115Glendale Desert Dogs
23
22Ivan MelendezARIAAThe "Hispanic Titanic" lived up to his incredible nickname in 2023, bouncing back and smacking 30 homers between High-A and Double-A with elite power metrics. He ended his season with a .275/.345/.578 line but that comes with a worrisome 34% strikeout rate. For someone with limited defensve value and that's on the older side for a prospect with only full one season, he has to keep hitting.23106Salt River Rafters
24
23Nathan MartorellaSDAAMartorella is one of those 2022 draftees that has already reached Double-A for the Padres. He's a big dude with a unique setup at the dish with his hands held down low. He covers the zone very well with low chase rates and plus pull-side power. He improved his groundball rate this year in High-A, but it went back in the wrong direction following his promotion to Double-A. Something to watch for here.22113Peoria Javelinas
25
24Hao-Yu LeeDETA+Hao-Yu Lee was acquired from the Phillies at the deadline for right-hander Michael Lorenzen. Lee is shorter hitter with a thicker build and his best tool is his above-average hit tool. He controls the zone very well, showing a low chase rate and above-average contact skills but doesn't offer much power at the moment. The power he does have is exclusively to the pull-side, and he's a below-average athlete that is limited to second base on the infield. There does appear to be more power on the way as he gets further removed from a wrist injury he suffered in 2022.20108Salt River Rafters
26
25Nick LoftinKCMLBLoftin missed about a month this season with a knee injury and will likely make that time up in the Arizona Fall League after the big league season concludes. He's had a strong cup of coffee in the big leagues showing that versatility and strong plate skills. It's a high contact approach with limited power and speed, but he can play anywhere on the infield and alo has spent time in center. 24116Surprise Seguaros
27
26Gavin CrossKCAACross has put together a tough .203/.298/.378 season, which was mostly in High-A outside of two games in Double-A. You expect more from high pedigree college hitters in the lower minors but strikeouts and a lot of lazy flyballs did him in. Hopefully he can come out to the desert and rake and restore some confidence. 2293Surprise Seguaros
28
27Kala'i RosarioMINA+Rosario had a breakout 2023 season and actually won the Midwest League MVP award with a .252/.364/.467 slashline with 21 homers. He's making better swing decisions and has cut the strikeout rate a bit while almost doubling the walk rate. He's a corner outfielder that is just learning to tap into his plus-plus raw.21122Glendale Desert Dogs
29
28A.J. VukovichARIAAI've been on Vukovich for a long time due his size and athleticism. He's actually worked his way up the defensive spectrum this year, playing primarily centerfield while also putting up a 20/20 offensive season in Double-A. There's plus-plus raw power here and he hit a nice .263/.333/.485 line. There will always be some strikeouts here due to the long levers multi-sport past, but there's an interesting player here.22108Salt River Rafters
30
29Drew RomoCOLAAARomo has elite catch and throw skills and is an overall plus defender behind the plate which is a very valuable prospect. Offensively the switch-hitting catcher hammered right-handers but struggled against lefties. His plate skills are solid and his offensive philosophy is to try and hit the ball in the air to his pull-side, and he had an above-average offensive season despite being a young-for-the-level catcher in Hartford, which is not easy to do.22111Salt River Rafters
31
30Kenedy CoronaHOUAACorona was a breakout prospect in 2022 flashing his above-average power and plus speed, and he built on that and put together a 20 homer, 31 stolen base season in 2023. That came with a small decrease in contact rate here, but even if his hit tool is below-average there's enough here to become an impact hitter in a big league lineup. He's athletic and twitchy enough to handle centerfield, and his plus speed translates very well on both sides of the ball.23101Mesa Solar Sox
32
31Reggie CrawfordSFA+Crawford has only had 40 career plate appearances to this point but he is going to the AFL as a hitter only after a successful, but limited season on the mound. Reports on him as a hitter show he has plus raw power but needs to iron out his swing decisions and make more contact to play as a first baseman. Of course the whole two-way profile adds some realistic outcomes it also creates a lot more risk. I'm kind of in a wait and see mode with Crawford.22Scottsdale Scorpions
33
32Jase BowenPITAABet you didn't know Jase Bowen had a 20/20 season in the minors. Bowen hit .255/.327/.467 between High-A and Double-A with 23 homers and 24 steals. He's spent a lot of time both on the infield and in the outfield before and could hit his way into a regular job in left field or even second base. 23102Salt River Rafters
34
33Domiano PalmegianiTORAAAMr International. I'm not sure there's a prospect in professional baseball that can claim as many countries a Palmegiani can. He was born in Venezuela, grew up in Canada and played college ball at Southern Nevada. He hit .255/.364/.478 across Double-A and Triple-A with 23 homers and seven steals. He's still searching for a position but he will likely settle on left field and be average or better out there. His passive approach exaggerates his walk and strikeout rates and he hits the ball hard. 23109Surprise Seguaros
35
34Yeiner FernandezLADA+Fernandez played 99 games in the Midwest League in 2023 and hit .273/.360/.375 with six homers. His offensive game is built on making contact, which he does at an above-average rate. He's athletic enough to spend some time at second and third base as well. Behind the plate he's a poor defender but he is new to the position, so he needs more reps. He threw out 15 out of 64 baserunnrs against him this year which is a drastic improvment from his 2022 numbers. 21111Glendale Desert Dogs
36
35Max MuncyOAKAAMuncy hit .275/.353/.411 this year between High-A and Double-A. He improved as much as any Oakland hitter this year as the season went on, making more in-zone contact and recovering from a very slow start in the Midwest League. Strikeouts will always be an issue with Muncy, but he also has 25+ homer power from someone that seems likely to be able to play an average big league shortstop someday. It appears there was an emphasis on contact over power from him in the second half, and the hit tool did improve because of it.21103Mesa Solar Sox
37
36Brianer BonaciBOSAABonaci started the season in High-A but was spromoted to Double-A in August and ended the season with a .297/.354/.464 slash line with 11 homers and 7 steals. The approach is solid, and he makes plenty of contact. His glove is plus on the dirt and he can play all over the infield and provide above-average or better glove work. He's always been productive despite being young for the level and there is a long history of players like this clicking later on as prospects.21115Glendale Desert Dogs
38
37Jacob HurtubiseCINAAAHurtubise is a fun player that hit .330/.479/.482 in 119 games between Chatanooga and Louisville. His approach is fantastic, but admittedly way to passive to work at the big league level for someone with 30 grade power. Regardless he drew 77 walks and only struck out 63 times while also swiping 45 bases. He will be 26 on opening day next season and should very much be in the mix for a high-contact, speedy bench piece for the Reds. 25124Surprise Seguaros
39
38Nathan HickeyBOSAAHickey hit .265/.362/.496 between High-A and Double-A and he left the yard 19 times in 98 games. The offense really hasn't been a question for him at this point, those have all come on the defensive side of the ball. He drastically needs to improve his blocking, receiving and throwing to get to playable levels. He only threw out less than 10% of all base stealers against him this season, which just isn't going to work. There might be enough bat here as a part-time DH or something though if he can't stick behind the plate.23104Glendale Desert Dogs
40
39Cam CauleyTEXA+Cauley is a speedster that stole 36 bases this year while hitting a combined .245/.333/.411 across both levels of A-ball. He's a good athlete, and was better offensively this year than ever, but the strikeouts went the wrong direction. If hitting wasn't a thing he'd be much higher on prospect lists due to his speed, athleticism and defensive abilities. He's a double-plus defender with 80-grade speed, and he even hits the ball hard on offense, just not anywhere near frequently enough. Give him an average hit tool and he's an easy everyday shortstop. 20104Surprise Seguaros
41
40Benny MontgomeryCOLA+The swing concerns we voiced when Montgomery was an amatuer due to the unorthdox swing have unfortunately come to fruition. The 20 year old hit .251/.336/.370 this year in High-A, and he popped ten homers and 18 steals in 109 games. All of these numbers repsresent a step back from a strong 2022 in the California League. Montgomery is one of the most tooled up prospect in the game and defensively he has few peers. Making more contact and hitting for more impact are the goals here.2196Salt River Rafters
42
41Robert HassellWSHAAHassell's incredible track record of success in high level amateur events prevents him from falling as far as he probably should on a list like this. His season was a dissapointment, slashing .225/.316/.324 across 106 games in Double-A with 8 homers and 13 steals. The most problematic part of his season was the 31% strikeout rate from someone who was universally getting plus or better hit grades 18 months ago. 2294Scottsdale Scorpions
43
42Jacob BurkeCHWA+Despite missing the first month of the season Burke was fantastic in Single-A and High-A hitting .294/.392/.439 with six homers and 19 swipes. He's a gamer that just hits everywhere he's been with an average hit tool, and above-average speed and defense in center. The power is below-average but there's enough here to keep pitchers honest. 2292Glendale Desert Dogs
44
43Hendry MendezMILA+Mendez has always been young for every level and the AFL experience will be no different. He will be the league's youngest hitter and second youngest overall player. He dealt with some leg injuries this year that imited him to 62 games in High-A. He was able to maintain his excellent contact abilities, but he only put up a modest .236/.307/.326 line. He is a long way from his ceiling, but he could be a plus hitting right fielder with league avergae power if everything develops. 19107Surprise Seguaros
45
44Jadiel SanchezLAASingle-AThe Angels scooped up Sanchez from the Phillies in the Noah Syndergaard deal last year. He's a switch-hitter with a potential average hit tool and fringe-average to average power. He performed well this year, hitting .297/.378/.475 with 11 homers over 105 games. You want a little more power from someone with limited defensive utility, but he's still young and showing off a very promising approach and a contact rate up over 80%.2291Scottsdale Scorpions
46
45David McCabeATLA+McCabe is an interesting prospect and should get a little more shine than he does. Between both levels of A-ball he hit .276/.385/.450 with a strong approach, above-average contact skills that got even better in the second half and 17 homers. He even chipped in ten steals. He's more of a strength and leverage based player than a good athlete, but there's enough bat here to make it work at third. The defense will need to improve though because if he has to move to first it might be tough. 23100Salt River Rafters
47
46John RhodesBALAAMoving the draft back a month in 2021 actually made Rhodes draft eligible and more importantly one of the younger guys in his draft class. He dealt with many injuries in 2022, but in 2023 he played 108 games in Double-A and hit .228/.323/.422 with 17 homers and 8 steals. He has a long track record of hitting and was on of the best collegiate bats while at the University of Kentucky. The best is yet to come for Rhodes in pro ball and he will still only be 23 for a majority of next season. I think we see a monster season next year from him.2398Mesa Solar Sox
48
47Shane SasakiTBA+Sasaki was a breakout prospect in 2022, and he followed it up with another solid season. He hit .301/.375/465 at High-A, with seven homers and 12 steals. It was a little surprising to see only 12 stolen bases after taking 47 bases in 2022, but he dealt with a lot of nagging injuries this year. At the plate he's a selective gap-to-gap hitter that fits perfectly in the leadoff spot or the nine hole. He plays an above-average centerfield as well. He needs to continue to add strength to his frame. 2394Peoria Javelinas
49
48Brett HarrisOAKAAAHarris had a very productive season split between Midland and Las Vegas, hitting .279/.383/.424 over 105 games while playing above-average defense at third. He wlaks a lot, barely strikes out and has gap-to-gap power. His power played down to his passive approach and hitting a lot of balls on the ground. He's already 25 so he should factor into the A's plans at third base next season. 2597Mesa Solar Sox
50
49Billy CookBALAACook played 120 games for Double-A Bowie and hit .251/.320/.456 with 24 homers and 30 steals. The Pepperdine product has a long swing and is prone to the strikeout but he improved both his strikeout rate and walk rate this year in a true bust out season. He's very athletic and has a strong arm, and played on the grass and in the dirt last year. He could put himself on the prospect map with a big performance in Arizona. 2496Mesa Solar Sox
51
50Wes ClarkeMILAAClarke will spend his 24th birthday in the AFL mashing suspect pitching in an absolute hitters paradise. He repeated Double-A this year and had a strong season, hitting .241/.392/.497 with 26 homers in 118 games at the level. He hit for power, struck out in bunches and drew a lot fo walks while at South Carolina, and that profile has largely followed him to pro ball. He has been catching more and more, so I'll be interested in seeing if he can make that work in pro ball. 23112Surprise Seguaros
52
51Peyton WilsonKCAAPeyton Wilson is a little bit more of something that the Royals already have in abundance, undersized utility players that can hit above their weight. Wilson spent all season in Double-A, playing in 128 games with a solid approach and contact skills with a .286/.366/.411 line. He's a plus-plus runner with an above-average glove but fringy offensive tools. 2392Surprise Seguaros
53
52Eric Brown JrMILAABrown hit .255/.358/.354 this season between High-A Wisconsin and Double-A Biloxi while going 38-for-43 on the bases and playing above-average defense at shortstop. The glove and speed are the standout tools here but he has more power than he's hsown in games. The power plays down due to his contact oriented swing, but it is at least average raw power here. Brown is more floor than ceiling due to his collection of average or better tools across the baord, but his glove at short could be good enough to keep him there despite the less than ideal arm strength. Tommy Edman type of player here?22109Surprise Seguaros
54
53Nasim NunezMIAAANasim can pick it. He's on the shortlist of the best defenders at the shortstop position in all of the minor leagues. He makes contact at an above-average rate but it comes with far too much weak contact. He did steal 52 bases this year but it's probably 40-hit and 30-power at peak.2396Peoria Javelinas
55
54Oliver DunnPHIAAThe former Yankees prospect, Dunn signed with the Phillies and had a true breakout season hitting .271/.396/.506 in Double-A Reading, a notorious hitters haven for left-handed power. He's also 26 but led the Eastern League in OBP and extra base hits. Making a case for a 40-man roster spot with his performance.26102Scottsdale Scorpions
56
55Jacob BerryMIAAABerry just hasn't hit since entering pro ball, and he hit a combined .233/.284/.388 acorss High-A and Double-A this year with nine homers and ten steals. The positive walk rates he showed in Single-A went away. I'm hoping for a big AFL stint now that he will be back in Arizona to help rebuild some of that prospect stock.2283Peoria Javelinas
57
56Andrew CossettiMINA+Cossetti hit .287/.426/.534 between both levels of A-ball with 23 doubles, 4 triples and 15 homers. He's a bit underrated as a prospect and while the offense is ahead of the defense there might be something here.23111Glendale Desert Dogs
58
57Dominic KeeganTBA+The former Vanderbilt Commodore hit .287/.386/.466 across both levels of A-ball with 13 homers, 20 doubles and a 13% walk rate. He was a part-time catcher at Vandy but has been primarily a catcher in pro ball. The bat would play wonderfully for a catcher, but the market for part-time platoon DH's isn't nearly as robust. 23101Peoria Javelinas
59
58Jimmy CrooksSTLA+The left-handed hitting Crooks had a very strong year for High-A Peoria, posting a .271/.358/.433 line and he was named to the All-Star team at the catcher position for the Midwest League. He struggles offensviely against lefties and has average power and defensive skills acorss the baord. 22102Scottsdale Scorpions
60
59Caleb DurbinNYYAADurbin is only 5'6" but put up crazy numbers at D-III Washingotn University in St. Louis before getting drafted by the Braves. He cam to the Yankees as part of the Lucas Luetge trade last Decemeber and has kept hitting, slashing .304/.395/.427 this year between High-A and Double-A with a 6.2% strikeout rate.23115Mesa Solar Sox
61
60Dasan BrownTORA+A true 80-grade burner with double-plus defensive skills in center, Brown hasn't figured out how to make more contact or draw more walks. He hit .218/.309/.315 with seven homers and 26 steals, but a 25% strikeout rate just won't work for this profile. 2186Surprise Seguaros
62
61Adrian PlacenciaLAAAAPlacencia split 2023 between High-A and Double-A during his age 19 season, which is impressive but the numbers don't stand out. He hit a combined .212/.341/.323 across both levels with ten homers, 24 steals and a very strong walk rate. His passive approach and long swing led to an alarming amount of strikeouts for someone with minimal power though. He has good hands and range, but his lack of arm strength likely pushes him to second base long term. He needs some mechanical adjustments to start putting the ball in play more and using his average to slightly above-average speed to his advantage.20108Scottsdale Scorpions
63
62Alejandro OsunaTEXA+Osuna is a tough prospect to evaluate because most of his offensive value comes from his ability to get on-base. He hit .259/.381/385 this year in High-A, I just don't see much power here and the hit tool by itself is fringy. On top of that he looks like a left fielder. 20109Surprise Seguaros
64
63Trey LipscombWSHAALipscomb hit .272/.311/.419 while splitting his time between High-A and Double-A. He has good range and defnesive skills at third, but the approach is poor for a right-handed hitting corner infielder. He's way too aggressive and needs to find a way to that guy he was during his senior season at the University of Tennessee when he popped 22 homers. 2387Scottsdale Scorpions
65
64Paul McIntoshMIAAAMcIntosh hit .244/.355/.419 this year across three levels. He's improved defensively and makes enough contact that he will frequently run into balls due to his size. Likely a backup catcher.2596Peoria Javelinas
66
65Matt KroonPHIAAAKroon split his time this year between Reading and LeHigh Valley and hit .326/.399/.526 with 11 homers and 26 steals. He played third base and all three outfield spots, and is another one of the older for the level Phillies AFL contingent.26103Scottsdale Scorpions
67
66Corey RosierBOSAAAThe former Mariners and Padres prospect hit .285/.351/.431 between Double-A and Triple-A while collecting 38 extra base hits (seven homers) and 49 steals. He's an 80-grade runner with a good sense of the strikezone and average contact rates. He's surprisingly a poor defender, but there could still be a useful big leaguer here.24108Glendale Desert Dogs
68
67Gabriel Rincones JrPHIA+Rincones hit .238/.326/.416 this year in High-A. He's still learning to tap into his plus raw pop, and his 90% EV in Clearwater was up over 107 this year. You want a darkhorse to win the AFL Home Run Derby? This might be your guy.2293Scottsdale Scorpions
69
68Carter HowellSFA+Howell is a small school guy (Augustana) that went undrafted and was productive across both levels of A-ball despite being old for the levels. He hit a combined .294/.369/.442 with well-above average contact rates with present gap power and a dash of power and speed. 2476Scottsdale Scorpions
70
69Miguel PalmaHOUA+Palma played just 68 games and split time between catcher and first base but showed strong contact skills and a potential above-average hit tool. His future really depends if he can stick behind the plate or not though. He's actually been a well above-average offensive contributor at every stop in his career to this point.2193Mesa Solar Sox
71
70Caleb RobertsARIAARoberts is a left-handed hitting catcher that showed some offensive utility this year hitting .278/.382/.523 with 17 homers and 11 stolen bases while spending a majority of his time behind the plate. He needs to improve defensively, but that walk rate and pull-side pop could get him to the big leagues.23100Salt River Rafters
72
71Rowdey JordanNYMAAThe Mississippi State product is a switch-hitter who has played everywhere but shortstop and catcher since getting drafted by the Mets. He's a good athlete with a knack for stealing bases. The approach is solid and he has present gap power, and is still figuring out how to transalte the raw power to game power.2494Glendale Desert Dogs
73
72Caleb RickettsPHIA+Ricketts was a 2022 7th rounder out of the University of San Diego. Fringe-average hit and power tools with a bulky build that limits his athleticism and ability to block balls behind the plate. His best defensive attribute is his above-average arm due to his quick release. Ricketts needs to elevate the ball more offensively, but could be a second division regular on the right club.2373Scottsdale Scorpions
74
73Keshawn OgansATLA+Ogans was a 2022 20th round pick for the Braves. He's a slick fielding infielder that showed some offensive upside this year, hitting .265/.360/.397 with nine homers and ten steals. Utility upside here.22101Salt River Rafters
75
74Sonny DiChiaraLAAAADiChiara was a big time SEC performer that the Angels took in the fifth round in 2022. He's very much first base only but didn't hit for enough power or mkae enough contact this year. He needs a hard reset and the AFL could be just what the doctor ordered.2477Scottsdale Scorpions
76
75Zach MorganSFA+Fresno St. catcher was drafted by the Giants in the 7th round in 2021. Above-average contact ability here with solid defense behind the plate. Best defensive attribute is his strong throwing arm.2380Scottsdale Scorpions
77
76Will RobertsonTORAARobertson hit .245/.323/.488 this year in Double-A New Hampshire and he's now Rule Five eligible. Mostly fringe tools across the board here. 2588Surprise Seguaros
78
77Jake VogelLADA+Vogel is a plus-plus runner with a chance at having a plus glove in center if he learns to take better routes, but the 2020 third rounder hasn't hit at all since turning pro.2181Glendale Desert Dogs
79
78JT SchwartzNYMAAI like Schwartz's bat but he hasn't really hit for much power, making it difficult to envision a long career as a first baseman.2397Glendale Desert Dogs
80
79Aaron SabatoMINAASame story, different year for the former Tar Heel. Sabato has massive exit velocity numbers but doesn't make enough contact or have the bat to play at first. He's not going to be able to play anywhere else on the field so this has to work.2477Glendale Desert Dogs
81
80Damon KeithLADA+Keith hit the ball hard last year and showed some offensive upside but took a step back in 2023 as a 23 year old in High-A, which isn't ideal. He hit .229/.312/.373 this year while striking out over 33% of the time and only hitting 11 homers in 106 games. He needs a big AFL to regain some prospect stock.2370Glendale Desert Dogs
82
81Christian CairoCLEA+Cairo is a glove first utlity man who hit .239/.376/.351 with three homers and ten steals. Miguel Cairo's son, and there is a utility ceiling here.2295Peoria Javelinas
83
82Ben CowlesNYYA+Cowles hit .254/.356/.393 in High-A before getting moved to Triple-A to end the season when all the injuries and Yankee call-ups deplated that roster. He has a decnt approach and can play all over the infield.2383Mesa Solar Sox
84
83TT BowensBALAABowens went undrafted out of Central Connecticut State and dealt with injuries this year. He's a big dude with real power but the bar for right-handed hitting first baseman is a high one. He does have a good glove over at first.2568Mesa Solar Sox
85
84Nelson MedinaNYYAAAMedina jumped from Single-A Tampa all the way to Triple-A for the Yankees in 2023, and hit a combined .250/.383/.418 line. He's a good defender and is Rule Five eligible so it appears the Yankees want to see more of him.2396Mesa Solar Sox
86
85Liam HicksTEXAA9th round pick in 2021 out of Arkansas State. Strong OBP guy but he lacks power and more importantly the arm to catch.2494Surprise Seguaros
87
86Austin CallahanCINAAThird baseman was drafted in the 18th round out of the JUCO ranks. Power and strong collegiate approach hasn't transferred to pro ball at this point.2273Surprise Seguaros
88
87D'Andre SmithNYMA+Smith has only played second base in pro ball to this point and has a pair of below-average offensive tools. He's an athletic guy that I'd like to see move around the diamond, and he's likely to get his chance to do that here. The former USC Trojan struck out too much in a 64-game sample in 2023.2273Glendale Desert Dogs
89
88Jeremy RivasSTLA+Rivas has a solid glove but hasn't done much with the bat. He's Rule Five eligible but there's not much risk of him getting selected.2087Scottsdale Scorpions
90
89Carter BinsPITAABins is a third catcher hoping to hit enough to become a longterm backup somewhere. Defensively he's rock solid with a plus arm, good receiving skills and agility behind the plate. The hit tool is poor, and while there is above-average raw power he doesn't hit enough to get to it. 2472Salt River Rafters
91
90Israel PinedaWSHAABelow average hit tool and fringy power, Pineda is a third catcher, which is exactly the role he had in Washington until Drew Millas came around.2380Scottsdale Scorpions
92
91Tyler TolveATLAATolve is a backup catcher with a power over hit profile. He needs to improve his defnese behind the plate to make a long big league career out of it.2392Salt River Rafters
93
92Michael TrautweinCINAAThere's an approach here and some good defensive traits but the hit and power tools are both below average. Showed more power at Northwestern then he has as a pro so far.2486Surprise Seguaros
