No J-ROD? I feel like a plus CF should have gotten the nod over a corner guy like Kwan.
Looks good to me! The only thing I would even think about changing would be maybe make the FB and GB labels and arrows a touch bigger, just so they stand out a bit more. But it's fine as is, honestly.

Not if 3 and 21 have anything to say about it!
Literally no one was blocked and he still scored.
Ha! Just finished some reports on 2026 draft prospects and he’s 50th on my board right now.
As far as I'm concerned, that is THE best postgame quote from that brawl.
That makes perfect sense! Thanks for the info. Appreciate all you guys do at BA. Gives prospect nerds like myself plenty to talk about and analyze.
Hey JJ, does this reflect a player's ranking at the time of their debut on the Top-100 or their graduation to MLB (if applicable)? Just curious because players can move up and down the Top-100, so (I would think) their ranking at graduation would be the most accurate data point for this.
How much potential does Ryan Sloan have to shoot up the Top 100? There are a lot of things there to like: 3 plus pitches, above average control, and won’t turn 20 until the end of the month.
Great pull man!!!
I would add that being at least the 2nd best division winner is important, simply because of the free pass into the ALDS. Given they still have a healthy projected margin on both the Tigers and Astros presently, I think they are still in a good spot. And that's assuming no other additions are made.
No Ryan Sloan is just not right. He is going to be a horse.
Incredibly impressed you took the time to do this. The question crossed my mind but I was too lazy in the moment to find out.
Who is one prospect outside the Top 100 fans should know about?
