After a cancelled 2020 season and a one-month delay to begin this year, minor league baseball has officially returned. There's no better time for an updated version of our farm system rankings and organizational top-10 prospect lists.
The following factors helped determine the placement of players and teams:
- Potential (Player): Potential trumps production a lot of the time, especially in the lower levels of the minors and with recent draft picks. Skill sets and tools are often better indicators of what kind of player someone will be.
- Talent (Player): As for those in the higher levels of the minors who are close to breaking through to the big leagues, production and talent were the determining factors, as these players are viewed as more complete products.
