The 2021 MLB season is underway, and while we won't have any minor league action until next month, now is the perfect time to unveil our Top 100 prospect list for the start of the new baseball year.
The following factors helped determine where each player fell in our updated rankings:
- Potential: Potential trumps production a lot of the time, especially in the lower levels of the minors and with recent draft picks. Skill set and tools are often better indicators of what kind of player someone will be.
- Talent: For those in the higher levels of the minors who are close to breaking into the big leagues, production and talent level were the determining factors since the players are viewed as more complete products.
