Preseason system rating: twenty fourth ($151 million)
What to know: Early returns are constructive on the Jays’ prime three picks from the 2024 draft, all pitchers: Yesavage, Stephen and King. This record is usually pitchers, with a little bit little bit of all the things from presently injured (Barriera, Tiedemann), to hasn’t debuted in 2025 but (King, Rojas), to excessive chance back-end varieties with a shot for extra (Yesavage, Bloss and Stephen).

AL Central
Preseason system rating: 2nd ($313 million)

AL West

Preseason system rating: seventh ($241 million)
What to know: Farmelo has returned from his torn ACL early in final season. I ranked him aggressively because the damage anticipating him to hit the bottom working when he returned.

This a deep, numerous group of place gamers and there will likely be just a few busts, however these gamers ought to make up little bit of the large league lineup just a few years from now. Simply past this record there are some intriguing arms, just like the lately debuted Logan Evans and doable debut-to-come of Brandyn Garcia.
Preseason system rating: sixteenth ($192 million)

NL East
Preseason system rating: twenty seventh ($133 million)

Preseason system rating: fifteenth ($197 million)

His velo on all three of his major pitches (four-seam fastball, slurve, changeup) is up two ticks and the fastball and changeup have additionally added a nontrivial quantity of motion. He is additionally nonetheless throwing strikes at a excessive fee. Ramirez has been glorious to date and Mack, Acosta and Alderman are additionally all arrow-up within the early going.
Preseason system rating: ninth ($222 million)
What to know: Sproat, Tong and McLean (together with graduated/injured RHP Christian Scott) could possibly be ranked in any order and appear to be making the case to president of baseball operations David Stearns to cease handing out massive cash on the free agent beginning pitching marketplace for the foreseeable future.

Preseason system rating: 18th ($185 million)
What to know: Dollander is within the massive leagues and pitching properly, regardless of shedding some carry to his fastball, as a result of he is throwing nearly two ticks more durable.

Preseason system rating: 1st ($420 million)
What to know: George’s energy has spiked this yr, addressing the main concern on his profile, so he is now monitoring like a possible on a regular basis participant.

4 of those 10 have not performed but this yr, so there hasn’t been a ton of motion on this record, however Balzer is the large riser. He has plus stuff with some aid threat as a near-anonymous signee born in Japan.
Preseason system rating: twenty ninth ($109 million)
What to know: This method hangs largely on close to massive league prepared pitching and better variance place gamers with some ceiling. De Jesus and Stage are two thrilling abilities who will get going later when short-season leagues start.
