B/R's Updated Top 50 MLB Prospect Rankings, Post-2020 Draft Edition

Now that the 2020 MLB draft is complete, it's time for an updated look at the league's top 50 prospects to see how this year's top draft picks fit into the leaguewide prospect landscape.

The following factors helped determine where each player fell in these rankings:

  • Potential: Potential trumps production a lot of the time, especially in the lower levels of the minors and with recent draft picks. Skill set and tools are often better indicators of what kind of player someone will be.
  • Talent: For those in the higher levels of the minors who are close to breaking into the big leagues, production and talent level were the determining factors since the players are viewed as more complete products.
