Overview: Overall, the top 100 prospects are as strong as any other class from the past few years. With extreme depth, almost any of the 100 have the potential to be perenial All-Stars. Currently, shortstop is extremely deep, with 5 of the top 7 prospects playing SS and 17 in total at the position. First base is very weak with only Pete Alonso (soon to graduate) representing the position. While every team has at least 1 on the list, The San Diego Padres have the most prospects on the list (8) and they one of the best systems overall.
