The following players are discussed:
1. Ethan Holliday (SS, Col) - Advanced bat, plus hit tool, developing power, solid athlete
2. Kade Anderson (LHP, Sea) - Advanced command, polished pitch mix, competitive edge; mid‑rotation with strikeout upside.
3. Tatsuya Imai (RHP, Hou) - Undersized right-handed hitter with a lower three-quarters delivery. 97 to 99 MPH fastball that flattens out due to his arm swing. Plus slider.
4. Liam Doyle (LHP, STL) - Swing-and-miss lefty with a deceptive splitter. Could be a high-strikeout SP2 if he stays healthy.
5. Kazuma Okamoto (3B, Tor) - Older prospect who demonstrated plus power and a feel to hit in Japan.
6. JoJo Parker (SS, Tor) - Loud tools, clean health, and trending trajectory; potential middle-of-the-order bat.
7. Ike Irish (C, Bal) - Advanced hit tool, emerging power, and catcher eligibility. Impact upside with multi-category juice.
8. Eli Willits (SS, Was) - Speed/OBP shortstop, needs power to unlock fantasy value.
9. Aiva Arquette (SS, Mia) - Strong-bodied infielder with power upside and defensive versatility
10. Seth Hernandez (RHP, Pit) - 100 MPH fastball and starter traits. Long runway, but top-30 SP ceiling if it clicks.
11. Kyson Witherspoon (RHP, Bos) - Premium pitch traits, no pro debut yet.
12. Wehiwa Aloy (SS, Bal) - 2025 Golden Spikes winner with power, athleticism, and SEC pedigree. Could be a fantasy shortstop with pop.
13. Marek Houston (SS, Min) - High-floor bat with zone control and defensive value.
14. Dax Kilby (SS, NYY) - Strong debut with more speed than originally projected; power continues to be a question mark
15. Steele Hall (SS, Cin) - 80-speed and emerging power. Contact risk is real, but the tools are loud and fantasy-relevant.
16. Gavin Fien (SS, Was) - Advanced bat speed, strong plate discipline, above-average power, versatile defender.
17. Gavin Kilen (SS, SF) - High-contact lefty bat, 15+ HR upside, mature plate discipline
18. Billy Carlson (SS, CHW) - Bat-to-ball skills and defensive value. Power projection remains limited, but everyday role possible.
19. Slater De Brun (OF, TB) - A diminutive, toolsy outfielder with a great-looking swing.
20. Jamie Arnold (LHP, ATH) - He has a plus fastball-slider combination but his lower three-quarters delivery might work best in the bullpen.
