Even with advancements in scouting, it's shocking how often MLB prospect rankings wind up being completely wrong.
Top prospects routinely fail to live up to the hype, while players outside the top-tier conversation are just one breakout performance away from raising their profiles.
That second group is the focus today.
Here, we've highlighted one breakout prospect from each of the 30 MLB organizations, with the focus being on players who were well removed from top-prospect lists at the start of the season. To be eligible for a spot, a player had to still hold prospect eligibility, which means fewer than 130 at-bats, 50 innings pitched or 45 days on the active roster at the MLB level.
