After sorting through and writing about the Fangraphs prospect update in recent weeks, I got to wondering about some players who weren’t on this list of prospects and who might find themselves on it after the next update. Who in the system is not on a prospect list NOW but could well be by this time next year. Who might we want to watch for? Fangraphs sometimes issues an update just prior to the next (in this case, 2026) amateur draft, so that is my endpoint.
NOTE: One has to watch their data sources carefully. If you go to FG and select the Cardinals prospect list, you get an older version, but with narrative.
