Everyone loves a good list, right? Well, the Black Baseball Mixtape (BBM) is no different. We love to debate a great list. Debate is our thing. This is your window into the Black baseball barbershop conversation. For those who live it: You already know what it is.

Who is the greatest MCs of all time: Jay-Z, BIG, Nas, Kendrick, Drake, Black Thought? There are no wrong answers — just be prepared to stand by your word.

What is the best TV series: The Wire, Breaking Bad, Friday Night Lights, Vanderpump Rules? (Okay, I added that last one ). Who is the best baseball player of all time: Mays, Bonds, Paige, Trout, Shohei?

You get the point: WE LOVE THE DEBATE LIST!

This list informs you about the best young African-American players in baseball: 24 years old and younger. This list is not for prospects. Therefore you will not see names like Druw Jones, Temarr Johnson, or Elijah Green — all of which will be on this list one day. This list is for those in The Show or right on the cusp. So, let’s get it going.
