Top 25 MLB prospects that need to be called up right now

As the MLB season inches closer to June, more and more teams begin to look towards their minor league ranks in order to either boost their current squad or to begin to see what their prized prospects can be at the next level. Already in the young season we have seen top prospects such as Blake Snell, Robert Stephenson, Jose Peraza, Colin Moran and Max Kepler moved up to their MLB affiliates.

These players and more could have been taking on the MLB earlier in the year, as many of these top minor leaguers more than proved their mettle in spring training. However, the business of the game is the business of the game, and nothing is more valuable than cheap, young, long-term, cost-controlled talent. Look no further than the Kris Bryant debut saga of a year ago to see proof of the importance to front offices of securing young talent for as long as possible. 

But as the ‘Super Two’ deadline is passed later in the month, and the extra year of guaranteed service time is secured for such players, expect many more elite minor leaguers to make their way to the Majors and begin to bring a new wave of exciting young talents across the league.

As recently as last season, this was the time when Carlos Correa, Francisco Lindor and Miguel Sano, amongst others, made their debuts and shook up the game immediately. So who are the candidates to kick off the season’s third month in a major fashion, proving the point that their arrival was well overdue? Here are the top 25 MLB prospects that belong in the Majors immediately.
