The Ultimate Prospect List

In a post yesterday, Chris St. John of SB Nation took a moment to compile the ultimate list of baseball's top prospects. The composite list included the prospect rankings of Baseball America, Keith Law, Baseball Prospectus, Fangraphs, John Sickels, and five others. He then assigned points and ranked all prospects considering their prevalence across multiple prospect ranking platforms.

    • Peak - 18 (Fangraphs)
