FanSided 15 MLB prospect rankings: Jordan Walker a bright spot for Cardinals

We here at FanSided are joining the MLB prospect rankings wagon as we are issuing our first ever FanSided 15.

In the world of baseball, there’s a plethora of MLB prospect lists available online, providing fans and experts with valuable insight into the up-and-coming talent set to make an impact on the big stage. These lists, including those published by reputable sources such as Baseball America and MLB Pipeline, offer comprehensive rankings and evaluations of prospects, often sparking lively debates and discussions among fans and analysts alike.

Crafting our Top 15 MLB prospects list was a bit like assembling a dream team from Baseball America’s and MLB Pipeline’s respective Top 15 rankings. We stepped up to the plate and took a swing at combining these two heavy hitters, calculating an average that laid the groundwork for our All-Star list.

MLB Prospect Rankings: How does the composite work?

Our team of baseball fanatics threw some curveballs of their own, diving into each prospect’s recent home run-worthy performances, potential for growth, and overall impact on their respective teams. The result? A Top 15 list that takes what these two lists are thinking is among the top prospects in baseball and adding what we have been able to see so far in 2023.

With all the baseball clichés out of the way, let’s start the countdown of our Top 15. Both Baseball America and MLB Pipeline have had recent updates to their list, so we felt it was the right time. For the rest of the season, you will see an update to our list every two weeks.
