Top 100 Prospects
No prospect in baseball is a sure thing. But each year since 1991, SPRING TRAINING
BASEBALL YEARBOOK has chosen the cream of the crop and listed them in "Top 100 Prospects." The Top 100
are restricted to players who have no more than 130 at-bats or 50 innings pitched in the big leagues at the time the list is
released each spring. Below are the bare-bones lists, minus the analysis and statistics included in SPRING TRAINING's
annual presentation.
