MLB Pipeline will reveal its 2025 Top 100 Prospects list at 7 p.m. ET on Friday, Jan. 24, with a one-hour show on MLB Network and MLB.com. Leading up to the release of the Top 100, we'll examine baseball's top 10 prospects at each position.

The outfield prospect crop is always an exciting one, and this year is no different, even with the graduation of six talented outfielders from last year¡¯s group, including 2024 Rookie of the Year candidates Jackson Chourio and Colton Cowser.

The 2025 top 10 features three first-round picks from 2023, one of whom who could contend for National League Rookie of the Year honors this year, as well as some big-dollar international signees who are living up to the hype.

The top 10 below is only part of the story. While the position group is not quite as deep as last year because of the aforementioned turnover, there are still 18 total outfielders on the upcoming Top 100. We could lose several more from this top group to the big leagues in 2025 as well, with many young talented outfielders waiting in the wings to rise up.

The Top 10 (ETA)
1. Roman Anthony, Red Sox (2025)
2. Walker Jenkins, Twins (2026)
3. Dylan Crews, Nationals (2025)
4. Max Clark, Tigers (2027)
5. Jasson Dom¨ªnguez, Yankees (2025)
6. Charlie Condon, Rockies (2026)
7. Chase DeLauter, Guardians (2025)
8. Emmanuel Rodriguez, Twins (2025)
9. Josue De Paula, Dodgers (2026)
10. Lazaro Montes, Mariners (2026)

Top tools

Hit: Anthony, Jenkins, Crews, Clark, De Paula (60)
Anthony got the most votes in our recent executive poll for best hitting prospect and he also got multiple votes for best hit tool, edged out only slightly by Jenkins. Crews also got recognition in both of those categories. Clark showed off a super-advanced approach in his first year of pro ball, walking nearly as often as he struck out, and De Paula excites with his combination of swing decisions and exit velocities.

Power: Condon (70)
While Condon struggled to use it in a relatively brief pro debut last summer, there¡¯s absolutely no question about his raw power, which might be an 80 on the scouting scale. It was on display after signing, even if he wasn¡¯t making great swing decisions and nursing a hand injury after signing, and there¡¯s confidence he¡¯ll get back to being the guy who homered 37 times and slugged over 1.000 with Georgia in 2024.

Run: Crews, Clark (70)
While he didn¡¯t run a ton at LSU, Crews has been very aggressive on the basepaths as a pro, swiping 25 bags (in 30 attempts) in the Minors in his first full year of pro ball last year, then stealing a dozen more in 31 games during his big league debut. For his part, Clark went 29-for-33 in stolen-base attempts during his first full season, and both use their wheels to cover a lot of ground in the outfield as well.

Arm: Clark (70)
As you can see, Clark is a toolshed with four at least plus tools. He loves to show off his double-plus arm, one that used to fire fastballs up to 97 mph off the mound in high school.

Field: Crews, Clark (60)
See the aforementioned note about speed. Both Crews and Clark use it well, combined with excellent instincts that could enable them to play center field in the big leagues, even if Crews settles into a corner spot in Washington this year.

Superlatives

Highest ceiling: Anthony
Spoiler alert: Anthony is the only hitting prospect with an overall grade of 65 on this year¡¯s Top 100. His combination of his ability to hit with plenty of power (18 homers, 21 steals across the top two levels of the Minors at age 20) while having a chance to stick in center field gives him the edge in this super-talented group.

Highest floor: Crews
He¡¯s ready now, and while there might be some others on this list with louder individual or raw tools, the 2023 No. 2 overall pick has five plus tools at his disposal. Even if he doesn¡¯t reach ¡°superstar¡± status, it¡¯s very easy to envision him settling in as a very good big league regular.

Rookie of the Year candidate: Crews
Anthony got votes in the executive poll to win the AL award, but there isn¡¯t necessarily a clear spot for him in Boston¡¯s outfield. Sure, Crews will have to compete against Roki Sasaki, but his combination of talent and opportunity will put him in the conversation.

Highest riser: De Paula
De Paula wasn¡¯t on the Top 100 a year ago at this time, coming in at No. 4 on the Dodgers¡¯ Top 30 ahead of the 2024 season. Now he¡¯s firmly in the top half of the Top 100 with a big up arrow next to his name; no one would be shocked if he¡¯s nearing the top of that list by the end of the 2025 season.

Humblest beginning: De Paula
This is a star-studded group of first-round picks and big-time international signees, so De Paula¡¯s $397,500 bonus in January 2022 stands out as a potentially huge bargain for the Dodgers.

Most to prove: Dom¨ªnguez
This might be a little unfair considering Dom¨ªnguez will be just 22 for all of the 2025 season, but when you¡¯re nicknamed ¡°The Martian,¡± you have a lot to live up to. His .617 OPS in the big leagues in 2024 might have some concerned, though he¡¯s to be commended for getting back to New York after 2023 Tommy John surgery.

Keep an eye on: Braden Montgomery, White Sox
Because of a broken right ankle suffered in the NCAA Super Regionals last year, Montgomery has yet to play an inning of professional baseball. But he¡¯s already been traded once, going from the Red Sox, who took him in the first round last July, to the White Sox in the Garrett Crochet trade.
