Here are the new Top 30 Prospects lists for AL & NL East teams
MLB Pipeline released its Top 100 Prospects list in late January, but that didn't mark the end of rankings season. With Spring Training well underway, up next is our team-by-team Top 30s.
Our rollout begins with the AL and NL East on Monday, with the Central and West Divisions to follow on Tuesday and Wednesday respectively.
Our Jim Callis, Jonathan Mayo and Sam Dykstra work alongside various beat reporters to create these lists and write scouting reports with feedback from scouts and front-office members around the league. The rankings continue to evolve over the season as players graduate and expectations change due to play or other considerations.
All players with rookie eligibility qualify for our rankings, with the exception of foreign professionals -- players who are at least 25 years old and have played in a foreign league for at least six seasons. For that reason, Roki Sasaki is included on the Dodgers' list but Hyeseong Kim is not.
Without further ado, here is our look at the farm systems of the AL and NL East teams:
AMERICAN LEAGUE EAST
Blue Jays
While there may be uncertainty in the Toronto's organization as stars Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Bo Bichette enter the final years of their deals, the Blue Jays' farm system is looking up. The club's two most recent first-rounders, Arjun Nimmala and Trey Yesavage, look like stars in the making, and Toronto is shifting its development philosophy as a whole. More ?
1. Arjun Nimmala, SS (MLB No. 86)
2. Trey Yesavage, RHP (MLB No. 87)
3. Orelvis Martinez, 2B/3B

Orioles
This is the first year since 2020 that the Orioles begin the year without one of baseball's two best prospects, but Baltimore still has plenty of top-end talent. Samuel Basallo and Coby Mayo both rank among the 15 best in the league, and there are plenty of tooled-up players further down the rankings, especially in the outfield with recent first-rounders Enrique Bradfield Jr. and Vance Honeycutt. More ?
1. Samuel Basallo, C/1B (MLB No. 13)
2. Coby Mayo, 3B/1B (MLB No. 14)
3. Enrique Bradfield Jr., OF

Rays
Tampa Bay's farm system is overflowing with intriguing hitting prospects -- even beyond its quintet of Top 100 prospects. Outfielders Aidan Smith and Chandler Simpson just missed that list, and top international signee Brailer Guerrero could be in for a breakout year. Given how the Rays prize versatility, this group bears watching. More ?
1. Carson Williams, SS (MLB No. 9)
2. Xavier Isaac, 1B (MLB No. 50)
3. Brayden Taylor, INF (MLB No. 66)

Red Sox
Even after trading their two most recent first-rounders to land Garrett Crochet, the Red Sox have one of the most loaded farm systems in baseball. It's led by a trio of hitters who ended the season in Triple-A and could soon contribute in the big leagues, which could be crucial as Boston aims to return to the playoffs for just the second time since winning the 2018 World Series. More ?
1. Roman Anthony, OF (MLB No. 2)
2. Kristian Campbell, 2B/SS/OF (MLB No. 7)
3. Marcelo Mayer, SS (MLB No. 12)

Yankees
Several rookies played key roles in the Yankees making the Fall Classic in 2024 for the first time in a decade and a half. Could these prospects be part of the next wave of talent to complete the job for the Bronx Bombers? Jasson Dom¨ªnguez is expected to take over the starting left-field job, and several pitchers (led by Will Warren) will likely be ready to contribute this season as well. More ?
1. Jasson Dom¨ªnguez, OF (MLB No. 21)
2. George Lombard Jr., SS/2B
3. Spencer Jones, OF

NATIONAL LEAGUE EAST
Braves
Once again, the Braves' system is quite pitcher-heavy, with arms making up 21 of their top 30 (including 10 of the top 13). They're particularly righty-heavy too, with top 2024 Draft picks Cam Caminiti and Carter Holton as two of the three ranked southpaws. Several righties could help the big league club soon, led by AJ Smith-Shawver and Hurston Waldrep. More ?
1. Drake Baldwin, C (MLB No. 62)
2. Cam Caminiti, LHP (MLB No. 88)
3. AJ Smith-Shawver, RHP

Marlins
Miami's new front office has quickly made over its farm system, and 19 members of the club's Top 30 weren't in the organization a year ago. Thirteen of those prospects arrived via trade, including second-ranked Starlyn Caba and fellow Top 10 organizational prospects Agustin Ramirez, Dillon Head and Robby Snelling. More ?
1. Thomas White, LHP (MLB No. 41)
2. Starlyn Caba, SS (MLB No. 80)
3. Noble Meyer, RHP (MLB No. 84)

Mets
The Mets have done a lot to bolster their big league lineup, spending liberally in free agency on Juan Soto and Pete Alonso. But they've crucially done so while maintaining their Minor League depth. That could pay off as many of their top prospects, from pitchers like Brandon Sproat and Blade Tidwell to hitters like Jett Williams and Luisangel Acu?a, are on pace to reach the big leagues this year. More ?
1. Brandon Sproat, RHP (MLB No. 46)
2. Jett Williams, SS/OF (MLB No. 57)
3. Carson Benge, OF (MLB No. 100)

Nationals
The next wave of Nationals stars has already begun arriving in the nation's capital as James Wood and Dylan Crews hit The Show last summer. Crews retains rookie eligibility, and more is on the way once he graduates. There are plenty of hard-throwers on the mound, and the Nats loaded up on athletic up-the-middle talent in the 2024 Draft. More ?
1. Dylan Crews, OF (MLB No. 4)
2. Travis Sykora, RHP (MLB No. 69)
3. Jarlin Susana, RHP (MLB No. 78)

Phillies
This marks the third straight season that Andrew Painter heads the Phillies' Top 30 Prospects list, but the difference in 2025 is that he's healthy and expected to reach the Majors. Justin Crawford and Aidan Miller, their two first-rounders after Painter, finished last season at Double-A Reading and could join him in the big leagues this year, as could a number of prospects further down the list. More ?
1. Andrew Painter, RHP (MLB No. 8)
2. Aidan Miller, SS (MLB No. 27)
3. Justin Crawford, OF (MLB No. 63)
