- Jesús Made rose to No. 1 on the top‑50 MLB prospect list, moving up from No. 3 and entering the 60 Future Value tier as a 19‑year‑old Double‑A shortstop for the Milwaukee Brewers.
- Jesús Made possesses elite bat speed, with 90th‑percentile exit velocities at a 60‑grade level, though he has only hit 11 home runs in 153 games, indicating a need to lift the ball more for power.
- Leo De Vries is now No. 2 on the list, a teenage switch‑hitting shortstop for the Oakland Athletics in Double‑A, praised for his feel for pulling and lifting the ball.
- Konnor Griffin and 20 other prospects, including Kevin Gonigle and Samuel Basallo, have graduated from the top‑100 list after meeting MLB rookie eligibility thresholds, removing them from the current ranking.
- MLB rosters include seven of the remaining top‑50 prospects, meaning they could lose eligibility and drop off the list within the next month.
Why it matters: MLB clubs gain a clearer talent map for trade talks, as Jesús Made now tops the list and 20 former top‑100 prospects become ineligible, prompting teams to focus on the remaining pool before the July trade deadline.
