Welcome to ESPN Insider's 2016 ranking of the top 100 prospects in baseball.
This is my ninth such ranking for Insider, and this time around there's a ton of turnover on the list thanks to the big year for rookies in 2015. In fact, my No. 1 and No. 3 prospects from last year won the Rookie of the Year awards in the NL and AL, respectively, and the Nos. 6 and 15 prospects were the runners-up in the AL. Eleven of my top 20 prospects last year graduated to the majors.
As usual, the list is heavy on position players up the middle, with a fifth of the top 100 currently playing shortstop.
