On the new Top 100 list, these prospects jumped the most.

This week, MLB Pipeline unveiled its annual in-season rerank, and the list of the Top 100 Prospects looks very different. The list now includes 43 players who did not make the preseason Top 100, including 12 from the 2024 Draft class.

While Jackson Holliday remained the top prospect, dozens of other players moved up, down, or even dropped off the list. Jonathan Mayo and Jim Callis talked about some of those changes on the most recent MLB Pipeline Podcast.

They highlighted ten players who made the biggest jumps on the new Top 100 list, including five players who moved up from their spots on the preseason list and five players who weren’t on the preseason Top 100 list.

Five who were not in the Top 100 before the season Tigers, Kevin McGonigle, SS/2B (No. 33) “He had a reputation in high school for having a really good approach and being able to really hit, and in his first full season, he has done just that. He was recently promoted to High-A West Michigan from Single-A Lakeland.

“There is good extra-base pop there, but power has not yet fully come. Mayo: “He can really, really hit.” Mets RHP Brandon Sproat (No. 40) “When he moved from High-A to Double-A, he got better and reached another gear this season. He has a 2.53 earned run average, a strikeout rate of 11.1 batters per nine innings, and, most importantly, a walked rate of 3.3 per nine innings, which is a significant improvement over his performance at Florida and even earlier this year with Brooklyn.

MayoMoises Ballesteros, Cubs C/1B (No. 1): “He has always had that elite level pure stuff, and he’s commanding it better.” 44) “This individual strikes wherever he goes. As he gets older, he is demonstrating more power. We’ve used the 60-hit [tool] on him; you could almost go higher.

“The position’s volatility makes it extremely difficult to estimate his prospect value. He plays catcher and has supple hands. You can liken him to Alejandro Kirk if you really like him. He’s getting better as a blocker and receiver, but his body isn’t great, so you wonder if he’ll be agile enough. Callis inquires, “Is he going to hold up enough to be a catcher?” Padres Leodalis De Vries, SS (No. 47) “They have allowed him to adjust to the [Single-A] and find success, and even though he is 17 years old, he is still a long way ahead of the game in terms of age. There is no need to rush him because he is like three years younger than the typical Single-A man.

“He got off to a slow start, which was to be expected, but over the 31 games he has played since the beginning of July, he is hitting.289, has 10 home runs, has an on-base percentage above 1.000, and has walked a lot.

I believe this man will continue to rise up our lists. It could be more powerful, it could hit more, and it could run more.
