FanGraphs prospect writers, Eric Longenhagen and Kiley McDaniel, are two of our favorites on the prospect beat here at BYB. They have a pretty transparent process, plenty of experience, and are pretty open to answering questions and explaining their opinions. They also don’t obligate themselves into arbitrary lists by tens or hundreds. Instead, they rank all players by their future value (FV), and however many there are in a given FV tier, that’s how many players will end up on their top prospects list. 100 is old-fashioned. Their brand new list goes 131 players deep.
There are only five players on the list graded higher than 60 FV, which is the equivalent of an all-around plus player.
