Ever since JJ Wetherholt entered the St. Louis Cardinals' farm system, he has been far and away the best prospect in the organization. Now ranking as a top-five prospect in all of minor league baseball, Wetherholt will likely graduate from the Cardinals system very early in the 2026 season, and Baseball America already sees a potential heir apparent to Wetherholt's top 10 prospect in all of baseball status.
Many Cardinals fans became aware of the name Rainiel Rodriguez this past year due to the insane power he displayed as a teenager, and according to Baseball America, his ceiling is sky-high.
