Top 10 Hitters 

1. Luis Hernandez (SF) — The consensus top prospect in this class. At just 17, he bypassed the DSL entirely and is already producing in Single-A, showing advanced bat-to-ball skills and well-rounded tools that have generated significant buzz even before turning pro.

2. Angeibel Gomez (KC) — Turned in one of the most impressive DSL performances in years. His combination of exceptional strike-zone control, raw power, and all-around tools at age 17 has drawn parallels to Jesus Made's breakout debut.

3. Francisco Renteria (PHI) — His DSL season stood out for leading all qualified under-18 hitters in isolated power. He backs that power with a solid hit tool, above-average speed, and the defensive chops to stick in center field.

4. Sebastian Dos Santos (STL) — Brings a track record that's more established than most in this tier, having already flashed power, speed, and polished plate approach at the Complex and Single-A levels following a productive DSL campaign.

5. Enddy Azocar (BOS) — The only teenager in this class to combine 20+ homers and 20+ steals while keeping his strikeout rate below 25%. That power-speed blend has already translated to success in full-season ball.

6. Ricki Moneys (MIL) — An emerging name with explosive bat speed. His debut featured notable power and on-base ability, and he could represent a value play within a Brewers farm system that isn't as deep at the top.

7. Wandy Asigen (NYM) — The youngest player on this list, he's turned heads with jaw-dropping raw power — exit velocities exceeding 110 mph at just 16 — and strong athleticism. That combination gives him the highest ceiling here, though it comes paired with real questions about contact ability.

8. Samil Serrano (WAS) — A physically projectable lefty bat at 6-foot-3 with a clean, repeatable swing. His DSL debut showcased a mature approach, solid contact skills, and power that's still developing.

9. Wilder Dalis (COL) — Already holding his own at High-A while still a teenager, he pairs strong power-speed tools with underlying metrics that back up the performance — making him one of the more proven stateside options on this list.

10. Angel Nunez (CIN) — A high-energy 17-year-old who offers plus speed, dependable contact and plate approach, developing power, and solid center-field defense — a profile that's earned him Max Clark-esque appeal.

Top 10 Pitchers 

1. Christian Zazueta (LAD) — A dominant right-hander featuring two plus offerings and pinpoint command. He's racking up strikeouts at a historic clip while issuing walks at an almost negligible rate, and he keeps getting better year over year.

2. Jurrangelo Cijntje (STL) — A rare switch-pitcher who brings quality stuff from his right arm and carries some of the most anticipated hobby buzz around.

3. Argenis Cayama (SF) — A converted outfielder-turned-pitcher who, despite his youth, already shows polished command and a strikeout rate that continues to climb.

4. Brandon Clarke (STL) — A hard-throwing left-hander armed with a top-of-the-scale slider and a lively fastball, producing highlight-reel strikeouts and a knack for going viral.

5. Talon Haley (LAA) — A durable lefty who made his full-season debut with impressive swing-and-miss stuff and a four-pitch mix he can actually use in games.

6. Keyner Martinez (SF) — An athletic right-hander racking up strikeouts consistently, powered by a lively fastball and a sharp-breaking slider.

7. Miguel Mendez (SD/SF) — A right-hander who developed later than most, now boasting a 70-grade fastball backed by dependable secondary offerings.

8. Wellington Aracena (ARI) — A high-velocity arm whose nasty cutter, paired with steadily improving command, points toward a future as a high-leverage bullpen piece.

9. Kyle Carr (NYY) — A 24-year-old southpaw who's sacrificed a bit of run prevention in exchange for a notable increase in strikeouts.

10. Luis De La Torre (SF) — A stocky lefty who was dominant at the lower levels last season, though he's dealt with rising walk and home run totals since reaching High-A.
