If you enjoy watching the best MLB prospects in action -- and if you're reading this, you probably do -- then you are in luck: From March 14-17, the top young players from every MLB franchise will compete against each other in the first Spring Breakout.
The event features 16 games being played at major league spring training stadiums across Arizona and Florida, with full rosters of top prospects from each MLB franchise taking the field against each other. For example, Thursday's Spring Breakout opener featured a battle of recent No. 1 picks as Jackson Holliday's Baltimore Orioles faced off against Paul Skenes and the Pittsburgh Pirates. Yeah, this is going to be fun.
To get you ready for the inaugural edition, I've put together rankings of the best prospects participating -- based on how I view their potential 2024 major league impact.
These are not long-term rankings of these players -- that's what my Top 100 list is for -- and before you get too upset that your favorite team's prospects are nowhere to be found, it's important to note that some notable prospects who have long been expected to break camp with their major league clubs (such as Texas' Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter) aren't part of this year's event.
Now, let's rank some budding MLB stars.
